I wonder if this thing will use some maverick body stampings or if it'll look more like this overseas Ford van. If it looks like this, I think it'll do quite well.

Highly unlikely. Commonality with what else is being assembled at the same plant is cheapest. Guess what Ford prioritizes.I wonder if this thing will use some maverick body stampings or if it'll look more like this overseas Ford van. If it looks like this, I think it'll do quite well.

This but 3 or 4 feet longer.I wonder if this thing will use some maverick body stampings or if it'll look more like this overseas Ford van. If it looks like this, I think it'll do quite well.
I guess we'll wait and see. If Ford was gonna go that route, you'd think they would have shared body panels between the maverick and bronco sport. But you're right, it's probably a cost saving measure.

I want 7 seats because I do rideshare on the side. It opens up the XL class which would mean extra money for those requests. Currently the Sienna is the only good choice for a 7 Pax Hybrid. And they are hard to get in base trim.
They didn't build the connect for the US, they just also sold it here. It was an existing product in Europe. I would've bought one, but wasn't into the 3rd world build quality of them. They were very Primitive inside. The Maverick Mini van should be perfect.Pretty Much... LOL
Which is WHY, I don't understand that they built the Transit Connect in the first place??
Thou... A new "Base" Transit 150 starts at $47K, Cargo 227 cuft.
The "Base" Connect started at $35K, Cargo 127 cuft.
I. D. = 72" length, 62" width, height 50".
Which would be close to a "Maverick" Connect...

Why hasn't anyone found the picture of the one hand pushed at the meeting. It was posted recently?

Just stumbled upon a vid of one of these owned by Jeff Dunham.
WOW a 1978, Econoline..
last time I have seen anything like that.. Was a couple of years ago.
It was a 1/24 scale model. Yes, MPC did make a model kit of this Van...
Also, the "Blue Jean" Suits.....
Those were the Days....

It could look like that, but won't share any panels. That is based off of the Fiesta. It is a VERY small van, based on the Fiesta chassis with a 1.0 EB.I wonder if this thing will use some maverick body stampings or if it'll look more like this overseas Ford van. If it looks like this, I think it'll do quite well.

I'm surprised the interiors aren't more similar. Usually it's glaringly obvious, but between the Bronco Sport, Maverick, and Escape I had to look around to see the common pieces. They did a decent enough job with differentiating them given what they had to work with.

I’ve been telling people that the Maverick platform is perfect for a Transit Connect replacement.I wonder if this thing will use some maverick body stampings or if it'll look more like this overseas Ford van. If it looks like this, I think it'll do quite well.
it has the payload to make the outgoing one and it would have the towing for it as well.
More importantly they could increase their personal usage sales in comparison to fleet sales. With its hybrid engine and now AWD addition. And for those who want more grunt the 2.0T will greatly improve its get up and go compared to the outgoing N.A. 2.0. All the camping and out doors people would love it.
Since the Maverick is based on the Former Transit connect platform, it makes sense to keep it on the same platform but make them in Mexico vs. Spain.
Hey, just my 2 cents..
The description ( just had two doors, with two seats, and a van area from there back) of this topic on Reddit, puts the possible version to look more like this....
NO, I did NOT do this rendering...

We've know for years that a Transit Connect replacement was coming. I'm betting it's a return to an urban work/passenger van, not another SUV or Ford Flex vehicle. I actually wanted to purchase a loaded Transit Connect wagon years ago after seeing them in Türkiye, but my local Ford dealer only ordered the work van variant.
