A high production quality but not overly flattering review of the Maverick and Santa Cruz, that also mentions the MaverickTruckClub community BTW:

Is the 1990 Silverado I replaced a truck? Well, then, since the Maverick hauls as much and actually can tow MORE in the base configuration, how is it not a truck?"Laughed of the planet if considered the Maverick a pickup truck?!" What a lame ass statement! Yet he keeps referring to Maverick as a truck!
Exactly! The guys at work laughed at my Maverick until I pulled up with a load of drywall. And they really freaked out when I told them about my mileage. I don't care what others think about my decision to get a Maverick. They spend in a week what I'll spend in a month on fuel. Who's laughing now?This confirms what I already knew....only what I want/need is important. The "opinions" of reviewers are irrelevant.
That front fascia was a breaking point for me as well!!!I don't even have to watch the video to know what's best. The Maverick by a long shot. Why else would I have gotten it and joined this forum? Although, I did test drive a Santa Cruz when they first came out a couple of months before ordering the Maverick and I do have to say it was very nice to drive. It handled well, had tons of safety features (being the Limited trim in all) and had plenty of power. But the Maverick is all that as well for a fraction of the price! Plus, that hideous front fascia was the deal breaker other than the price. The side and the rear look okay but that Joker-face front end is atrocious. The Maverick is so much nicer on the eyes. Ford did such a great job with the overall design of this truck inside and out. And the fact you can get it fully loaded at $35,000 (if you have a good dealer that doesn't mark it up) is such a great value in my book! The SC would've cost at least $10,000 more before markups. With that factored in, you're looking at $15,000 or even $20,000 more just on a little truck! Absolute insanity!
You're the one driving the truck in the end. If it works for what you need, you're good to go and who cares what some reviewer says?This confirms what I already knew....only what I want/need is important. The "opinions" of reviewers are irrelevant.
