Nice try but Maverick all the way!

I'm sensing that it may go the way of the Subaru Baja. If I recall, Subaru anticipated selling around 20,000 units a year, but barely managed to sell 30,000 units over nearly five years.

They are selling as many as they make and you can actually go out and test drive one and buy it. Ford maybe sells twice as many but Hyundai probably makes close to twice as much on the sale. If we weren't in a parts constrained market and Ford could actually crank them out in volume then Ford would be in a much better position.

Silly thread. Both are very nice unibody light duty trucks.

I do happen to prefer the stance of the Maverick, but refuse to throw shade on the Santa Cruz.

As for big grills I present to you the 1987 Ford Escort GT.

The boy racer in me wanted one of these, but of course it was also competing with the Fly GTI (VW campaign at that time) for my attention. However, I was broke, so I just kept on driving my banana yellow 77 Civic CVCC hatchbatck.

Actually, only the Hybrid can be flat towed. The front wheel drive Ecoboost can be towed with a tow dolly, but it can't be flat towed.

I believe I did post "only the FWD hybrid can be towed".

My brain must have filtered the word hybrid out of that sentence for some reason

No worries . . . I'm equally guilty of leaving out words or putting them in.
