Love my maverick, it feels huge until I pull into a parking lot!

I'm pretty sure the Maverick is about as small as you can make a truck while still passing safety standards and being just wide enough for plywood/drywall sheets (Which seems to be the bed standard).

What exactly are you looking for in a small truck? I guess I'm lacking in imagination like Ford and Hyundia . Are you looking for an open-backed station wagon? That would be cool I guess, but that would be a seriously compromised vehicle storage wise. I couldn't fit half the stuff I've hauled in that.

Volkswagen built one smaller years ago. Miserable failure of a truck.

The Maverick IS stupidly huge. Just because the American trucks surrounding it are obscenely and morbidly obese doesn't make the Maverick any less obese.

The Mav and SC are both very poorly designed adaptations of cars and are succeeding in the market only because there is no competition in the tiny truck space. I hope that changes. Till then I'll grimace and drive this horribly compromised SUV with a bed because it's the best I can get right now.

Maybe GM will show some imagination. Or the new Kia or VW small trucks that have been hinted at. Somebody please build something other than the Mav and SC fat pills.

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel. VW's first attempt at a small truck(OK, their first attempt at a truck) was a miserable failure. But hey, the Bug is better the second time around so maybe you'll get lucky.

I live in western Wyoming, the land of the gigantic trucks.

LOL, I have the smallest truck in the family. My dad has an F-150, my older brother Had until recently a Ranger, and my little brother has this giant....
