Predecessor to our Mavericks?

Copied this from Facebook: Ford Model-T Truck hauling 8,000 pounds of hay down a paved country road in 1921. The dried fodder seems to overwhelm the small truck, yet the driver gamely travels along. Model Ts were popular for transporting harvest crops. They had earned a tough reputation among farmers who knew the vehicles could handle hard work.

Model Ts were body-on-frame vehicles, therefore it's a true truck.

Crown Vics were body-on-frame vehicles, therefore it's a true truck.

Well, accounting for inflation the Mav is the cheaper truck. But did Model T drivers have music & A/C???

The GPS was having only three roads available at the time and a/c was the window down.

That makes about as much sense as the post you are quoting. LOL.

Exactly.......

The model T was practical and affordable. So is the maverick. There are similarities in how it is positioned in the market and it's a very good thing.

That is, in fact, the joke.

Ranchero is the descendent of the Maverick.

Similar in many ways. The Model T was revolutionary in that it made owning a vehicle affordable for the average American. Because more Americans owned autos, more people could travel and more roads were built to accommodate.

That old Model T is pretty cool! IMHO, the Maverick is what the Ranger should have been when it returned to the North American market. And I do like the current Ranger, it's a good truck. Maybe should have just been called the F-100 or something.
