AND I GET 30MPG on the EcoboostThe maverick with 4k package tows more than what they say it does I pulled a dump trailer loaded with a cord and a half of wood the other day (cord of wood is between 2000 and 3000 so anywhere from 3000 to 4500 in just wood) estimate was about 5.5k since it was oak and a big dump trailer and my maverick didn't have a problem with it. As far a basic I don't have leather air ride massaging seat but my truck is comfortable enough for my regular 5-6 hours of driving at a time for work. And as for the bed being small if it's a huge problem they sell a bed extender but I don't use it and seldom do I need to haul something over 9-10ft long and when I do I just strap it and flag it
My response to the article:
1. I can carry bikes just fineāincluding a HUGE 29er mountain tandem.
2. It pulls my sailboat very easily.
3. Basic is good. I donāt want or need anything more, so Iām glad that Ford isnāt forcing me to buy it.
WOW, where were these guys back in June 2021 when Ford provided ALL the info we owners knew going in.https://www.motorbiscuit.com/3-reasons-never-buy-ford-maverick
Curious on MTC's thoughts on this article. For me none of the downsides were downsides, just "limitations" that a traditional truck wouldn't have given their higher price and larger footprint.
Not only nitpicking, but the author is like 10 months behind on WHY the Maverick came out in the first place. Not ONE mention about focus groups or DIY use. ........ I agree with others, article is stupid, dumb, and opinionated.Article's 3 points:
1. Innovative but small bed
2. Towing capacity isnt on par with other trucks
3. Overall a basic pickup
Opinionative and non-deal breakers for the majority. The author is nitpicking.

vehicle manufacturers have a long history both plus and minus of stretching, or shrinking a vehicles capabilities. If the Maverick was seen to be a true truck, it would eat into F150 and Ranger sales. So.. did they lowball it. Ummmmā¦AND I GET 30MPG on the Ecoboost
Theyāre just trolling. Donāt take the bait.It was a brilliant and successful clickbait article because you clicked it. I won't repeat your mistake. Motor1 and MotorBiscuit and many other sites are known clickbait factories.
