Parked at HD, as I’m walking up I see it and there just happened to be an empty spot next to it. Walked back to the truck and just had to park next to it.

Shoulda been Ranchero, MachE is the Maverick. But I will take whatever I get. I am the Maverick Man.

It's odd that a movie was named after a truck 🤔

I'm not sure why some people don't like the name. My working theory is if you remember the original Maverick you don't like it recycled as a truck. . . .I have no memory of original Maverick car.

I see the same thing with the Mustang Mach E. I think the car Mustang is neat but the Mach E is a progression with the times. Look at how many SUVs Porsche makes.

Actually, you are correct. Ford had the Maverick car (yuk) before the original movie was thought of. Definitely would have gone with Stingray, Jaguar anything but Maverick. Well, definitely not Vega either. Had one of those.

At least they didn’t call it “Pinto” 😜

I just think as lineage the Ranchero makes more sense since it was a car-truck plus I love that name. Same with the MachE, the OG Mav was very much a pony car like the Mustang but it could be had with 4 doors and also had good fuel economy for its time. You honestly wouldnt have to change a single item on either car to adopt those names to them. It would have been perfect but Ford was afraid the MachE couldnt stand on its own EV merits, it needed the Mustang name to give it popularity. Ironically it probably drove as many away as the Mustang name brought in.

I do have a negative feeling about Ranchero. LoL. . . . F100 would have felt appropriate to me too. But I'm happy with Maverick. Looks cool on the tail gate.

The Maverick should have been called the F-15.
