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!

uhhhh!!!! you are in Puerto Rico. Not necessarily the same as mainland USA. Given that even states have leeway in what they call vehicles. Some say a trailer is a vehicle some do not. So it is officially a truck in Puerto Rico.

Grateful for the confirmation. Quite a number of times on this forum, as well as in various YouTube videos, it is referred to as a "car." Please spread the word.

Here in Illinois we got B plates. That's a truck plate in Illinois. So as far as the State of Illinois is concerned it's a truck.

Ya know what? Who gives a shit how it's plated? As far as I'm concerned it's a truck.

Picked mine up today and they said I had to register it here in PA as a Class 1 Truck.

I don't care what others think. Whoever at Ford thought this truck up is a genius. I wasn't even in the market.

I was in the market for a Tacoma or Ranger, and ended up with neither.
