Here's one, but you can see the rack has room for two. How is the Maverick different?

Thanks. Actually looks pretty good....once you remove the tonneau. Eh. I'd probably just leave it off at that point. Only other problem I see is how would I fit all that fun in that tiny little bed. 🤣🤣
The built-in cooler is underneath the bed.

In reality? Not much different. But the SC is a "love it or hate it" look for most. I don't find it all that bad, and would be interested in one if it didn't get worse gas mileage than my wife's full-size Impala. And the Impala might just have the larger "trunk" of the two! :ROFLMAO:

For me, I don't mind the back half of the SC, but the front looks stupid IMHO. I sat in one at a dealership, and it has an SUV feel to the interior. I like how the Maverick feels like a truck on the inside and looks like a truck on the outside. Plus the cost of the SC, the smaller bed and the MPG are a big NO for me. For the lower price, larger bed and MPG, I can wait for the Maverick.

Right there with you, though I don't find the SC all THAT bad-looking. It's a trucklette derived from an SUV, both running gear and styling. Kind of like the old Subaru Baja and/or Brat. But like you, I prefer the Maverick stying. I like trucks, and it may be derived from the Escape running gear, but the styling says "truck" to me.

Settling down for a looooong wait for my Maverick – and even longer for my wife's, since we won't change the color on the 2nd order until the first is confirmed for build. (As if that really means anything these days...)
