Saw a Maverick up close and it looks small

[DeeZee]

When I said tiny it is because I have never sat in one. I have had plenty of small cars that were….small cars and others that felt big. Honda Element for example was HUGE inside

You guys think the Maverick is small?
Seems pretty big here!

Also was my first double wild sighting.

I have driven both Maverick and the Cruzes and the Maverick feels more open inside, specially compared to my Miata.

If the Maverick had paddle shifters I'd have already ordered one, hoping for an ST or ST-line to add them in the future and that my Dakota can last until then.

The cabin has more room than the Ranger.

That it is small is why I'm buying it. Fits better in the garage than the F-150 and the bed is big enough for 100% of what I need a truck for. The interior is nearly exact size of a Ford Escape, so if that is comfortable so to will be the truck We have a 2018 Ford Escape and the interior space is fine.

Was gassing up yesterday (1/2 tank @ $4.59/gallon=$38) and the guy behind me was filling his Ram 1500. He was asking all kinds of questions about my Maverick, gas mileage, etc. No regrets on purchase.

Walked by one in a parking lot today and it looks tiny. I am 6’2” and worried it will be like a clown car. However it could just be me‍. I am driving the same mid size SUV for 12 years for so it could be just an adjustment period

Any other tallish guys driving a Maverick?

I’m 6’1’ 200 lbs no problem

That's the benefit to an extended / crew cab. You can slide the seat back further. I'm not particularly tall, but have long legs. Driving a standard cab (old) Ranger is very uncomfortable, my knees hit the dash. Extended cab (old) Ranger and I'm fine.

The Maverick does kind of look small. But it is solid. I can barely lift mine off the ground.

I'm 6'3 and no issue with leg or head room and i have a sunroof. I will admit i was concerned when ordering my Lariat having never driven a Maverick that legroom (and other general driving things) would not be sufficient. The other concern was that I've always found that power seats seem to have slightly less leg room than the manual seat. Before I ordered my truck I sat in a new Bronco Sport to gauge the potential legroom as the Maverick shares the same build platform as the Bronco Sport and Escape models. I've read comments from 6'6 guys and they love "all the legroom". I'm not sure I agree, lol. But who knows, maybe there is a bit more legroom with a manual seat...

After 6 weeks in the XLT Maverick I would give the interior 4.5 / 5.0 stars. This is the only compact vehicle I have owned that does not squeeze you width wise. I'm 5'10" 240 lb. and my Lady friend and I are both of substantial size, our shoulders do not come close to each other. I mention this as there is considerable room for my right arm and shoulder also. You never feel cramped like most compact vehicles I have owned or looked at. I probably have 9" of headroom . The seats are fine for the journeys I have taken <200 miles but wish the fabric had a nicer feel, kinda feels like a burlap sack. The rear of the bottom cushion sinks more than I like. Lots of space behind me when I drive.

my 2¢

5-10.5 and 188 pounds, but I was worried about my size 14 feet. No problem. I've only had it a few days but the head room is really fine. My wife is 5-10 and has no complaints.
My friend wanted to drive it around the block, and I watched him leave an I noticed that although he is 5-11 and 200 pounds he did not look like a bullfrog in a jelly jar, which is what I was worried about. He looked like a regular dude driving an SUV or something.
I think because it is not on a truck chassis that the cabin has more height to it than I expected.
Very happy with it so far.

Same weight, more head, leg, and shoulder room than my 2014 328xdrive sedan. Wild stuff.

6' 3" and I found it comfortable when I was in one.

Wait, What? your Co-Worker is 6'2" (OP first post)

With Heels? or no?

 

[StillWaiting]

Same here. My first reaction when I saw my first Maverick in person (mine), was surprise at how big it was. I've owned small cars and trucks all my life....and this one doesn't qualify as small at all in my book. Inside...or out.

Yeah I parked my 2016 Colorado WT next to it and the only difference was the bed length and a couple inches shorter. It has way more room since it’s a super crew, and without seeing other trucks you wouldn’t even think it’s a “compact”
