Remember your first mini truck from back in the day?

Huh?

If you put it through Google Translate with bullshat as the source, you get:

"Look at me, I'm clever and contrary, I enjoy the dichotomy of being a happy Maverick owner and at the same time pissing in everyone else's cheerios."

97 Nissan Hardbody 4x4. I loved this truck. Why don't they make a single cab small truck anymore?

Same question, I love the maverick, but if they made a 2-door with just a little more bed length I would love it more.

the market years ago proved that's not viable. it's the same reason we don't have a manual transmission ecoboost option- there are just too many people who want/need 4 seats and too few who can live with only 2.

That brings me back HRG,

I had a white one that was pieced together from two rusty ones I got from a pool cleaning company that got rid of them.

Your lawn was on point btw. Mow the lawn Saturday after work and take the boat out Sunday. Good times.

I love my Maverick, but I don't need the crew cab. The extra bed space would be good too.

To have the best of both worlds, I am holding on to my 1996 Ranger for now.

Is that a Starcraft I had one from the 80's with a 90 HP Johnson, great boat!

The details are a little fuzzy from 45+ years ago, but that may be the Starcraft SS160 I had. Followed-up by a 18' Smokercraft, then a 21' Sylvan. All basically the same, full windshield aluminum bowriders.

1988 Mighty Max Macro cab , mine was blue. Great truck for it's time. traded it in for 1998 S10

We are like soul brothers. I had a red 88 Mitsubishi Mightymax with the extended cab as my first pickup. It got stolen when I was in college so I bought a blue one with a regular cab. Both manual, both crank windows, thank god both had AC though. I put in my own stereos, and I replaced the steering wheel on one because the contacts for the horn button would wear out on those trucks and it would squeak. I traded mine up for a 1998 s-10 with a regular cab and 5 speed. No power anything. Put in my own stereo there too. It was amazing how easy and cheap it was to swap out a stereo back then.

My parents bought this new in 1985... It's been at my house for almost the last year. It's got 262k miles on it and it used to be our family vehicle. They put the topper on the back because I couldn't fit in the middle anymore.

My cousin bought a new 86 model of this... I remember her son sitting on the 'shelf' in the extra cab.

Wish I had photos of all my old trucks. Over the years I had 2 Mazda’s (B2000 & B2200, both pre ranger). Also had 2 S10’s and all 4 were manuals…miss those days

My FIL had an '86 B2000. I could get a 3rd-gear scratch taking off from a dead-stop and giving it some gas. Not much HP, it was just so light in the rear. Loved that truck.

I hear you. They were great little trucks. Mine was very similar to this:

1984 Mazda B2000. Bed rusted through in spots after 3 years but, other than that thought it was great. Followed up with used 1986 Jeep Comanche.

My first 'mini-truck' was also the last new truck I bought prior to the Maverick. A 1988 silver with maroon/red trim Jeep Comanche Pioneer 4x4. Manual tranny and hubs. Hand crank windows and a vinyl bench seat. Was a great hunting truck and hauled tons of fire wood over the years. My favorite vehicle ever till the Maverick Tremor.
