300 HP would make it very UN-mundane, if it's considered mundane now. I think it's a pretty doggone nice little truck myself. And the 2.0 EB isn't boring.

Edgy posts drive clicks. Everyone that reads this post is going to click on the article. To look at all the other cars on the list Mazda 6, Honda Accord, and yeah they are mundane. One of the slides recommended putting a hellcat engine in a Pacifica. That wouldn't be mundane, psychotic maybe, but not mundane.

Mundane sells. Mundane gets the job done. Would it be interesting to put a Focus RS engine into a Maverick? yeah. Would I buy one? No.

Mav gets the job done with decent looks and decent performance. It still turns heads.

Talking to a guy driving a butt-dragger. I told him his truck looks stupid and everyone thinks so.

Him: "I don't really care what people think!"

My: "Yes you do. That truck screams 'LOOK AT ME!!!' If you really didn't care what people think, you'd get one of those." *pointing to my truck* "An non-compensating truck that likely does as much 'work' as you have ever done."

He left in a huff...

Yes, the Maverick is mundane. So are most of us Americans. Perfect fit.

Mundane? I am pretty pleased with my Lariat. I have the ecoboost and black package.

Trucks should be kind of boring. They're trucks.

What they do is more important than either style of stats.

Utilitarian is probably a better description. I've been driving pickup trucks since the early '70s and the Maverick is the first truck that I have been excited about in a long time.
If I want to see mundane all I have to do is look at the white Silverado double cab in the driveway.:facepalm:
100% on utilitarian, that is what trucks are supposed to be. Not the man jewelry many turn them into.
