Ranchero reminds me of the canyonero from the Simpson’s.
Maverick reminds me of top gun.
Maverick is cooler

It should have been called Courier.

I owned a POS 1973 Maverick 4 door with landau top. I also owned a cool 68 Ranchero. I'm good with just the FORD on each end. At least it is not a B2300.

Honestly the name really turned me off this vehicle.
im old enough to remember what a Maverick was, and would prefer to forget those memories.
but 90% of potential buyers would need to Google it to know and likely wouldn’t understand…
I‘m still torn, is it a truck or did they build a sedan and forget the trunk lid (as I shop for tonneau covers)…
Ranchero seems like a good name to me but again it’s due to age and context, the majority of buyers probably wouldn’t understand or possibly identify with it.
as for Courier I just verped…
End of the day I looked at one, drove it and I’m placing an order on Monday for one so Maverick is good enough of a name for me.

Here's an idea. Since they reused the Maverick name from a car why not have a Maverick Country Squire Edition??? 
Imagine it just like this without the roof and rear windows over the back....

They’re closed.
not to worry, we’re communicating via email and my allotment is available.
albeit delivery (cross fingers) is March or April +/-.
Great thread.
I'm an old(er) guy of 50 now and the original Maverick brings back memories of early 70s crud cars, and smog-era gutless turds, so at first I didn't get using the Maverick name again.
My first car was a 67 Camaro, so 60s/very-early 70s cars are where it's at for me. Ranchero would've been a great name, as that was a beautiful looking vehicle. Buddy had an early 60s Ranchero with a Boss 302 engine in it that hauled.
But then I started to think about it more, and really the name doesn't matter much to me, it's what the vehicle can do. Hell, I drive a C-Max, one of the dumbest sounding names there is. I'm fine with Maverick, especially as others have said, it kinda goes against the grain. Could name it Yugo and I'd still buy one just because it's a nicely appointed smaller utility truck.

I would be all over something like this. Love me some 'wood' paneling. Here's the 88 Grand Wagoneer I'm putting back together in my garage now:Here's an idea. Since they reused the Maverick name from a car why not have a Maverick Country Squire Edition???

Wasn’t the Falcon Ranchero a lower budget predecessor to the Mustang for the sixties? What happened to that left front end there?

Reason in the 80s and 90s my dad had to but these. We just had four hauled off because at this point he is never gonna get them running again. Great vehicles
