Your maverick isn't a real truck, I have a Nissan Frontier. Ha your Nissan Frontier isn't a real truck. I have Ram 1500. Pff that isn't a real truck I have an F350 super duty. Psssh it isn't a real truck, I have a Frightliner Flatbed... Never got the whole not a real truck thing. I have hauled 1500lbs of crap and it worked just fine. Good enough for me.

Edit: In PA has truck Plate. :)

Just to make things interesting, here in KY, if you bought your Maverick for personal and/or family use, you can put regular plates on it like all the cars have. If you bought your Maverick for business, you must have truck plates on it and if you own a farm and use it for farming, you can put Farm plates on it.

Pretty sure I got a truck license plate and not a car one in California. My plate only has 1 letter on it. Although that might just have to do with weight and not “type” of vehicle

Yup. All pickups in CA are "commercial." On the plus side, you can legally park in yellow zones :)

To all nay sayers the Maverick is a certified bona fide truck. My local Ford dealer had originally given me a license plate for a car, minivan, or SUV. Our Transportation Authority said that was in error because my Maverick (an XLT with the FX4 and tow packages) is a truck and must have a truck license plate. So, my latest mod is substituting for the truck license plate. Yes!
I tried to get a car plate (cheaper) here in the corrupt state of Illinois but couldn't because it's a truck.

When I lived in Calif my Sport Trac had passenger plated because it had a hard cover on the bed the day it was registered. With the cover off it was a truck. Gotta luv Calif DMV.

When I got my Mav, a co-worker with an F-350 asked if I was going to haul Styrofoam.
I have works beautifully about 8 inches thick sandwiched between two sheets of ply to keep it from getting hurt/airborne etc. my first real load a few weeks after owning.

Who cares? It's a Maverick, and that's good enough for me!

PS - it has the same payload as the "full-size" truck I used to own...

The only thing I care about is the money. Truck plates cost more and you have to get it inspected.

Here in Florida you can transfer plates from a car, truck, trailor, or anything else you have to any other vehicle, no questions asked! I've done it. Boat trailer, to car, to my Maverick.
