This image at another thread does not seem right to me. It looks like photo trickery. Does another have other evidence in the way of a photo that shows the relative size? In the photo below if the Mav. is 6' wide, the truck on the right would be 11' wide. Doubtful.

If you really want to be sure, enlarge and sharpen and examine the reflections in the sides of the two big trucks. You should see the Maverick there.

That's a silly photo to begin with. Those are lifted SUPERDUTY trucks. The hood is stamped SUPERDUTY, the fender well can fit a whole second tire, and the dealer installed steps just so the driver can get into the truck. I remember in my USAF days, my squadron commander used to drive a monster truck. I parked my Miata next to it one day - and my roof was below the top of his tires. This was circa 1995 maybe. We both stood there and laughed.

I find it funny that one person posted a video rant about big trucks (and vehicles in general) earlier this week. Now YouTube is filled with copycat videos. When somebody gets clicks, everyone piles into that meme.

Those other trucks are really big, I think they are F250s, and F350s. Having been parked beside similar aged models of those trucks, yeah they are big!

Given that the photo was likely taken with a cell phone camera, image distortion is a possibility though.

Photographer is taking editorial license to a new level to stress the author's point. Makes one think that the Maverick is extremely small, but it's not. Or that the 2 full sized trucks are HUGE!

Just think of this. The Maverick is bigger than the 90s F-150s. Also the only trucks with more rear seat space are full size trucks.

Just think of this. The Maverick is bigger than the 90s F-150s.
Only in length compared to the shortest configurations. Most of the 90's F-150s were still right at the 79-80" limit before width marker lights would be required which puts them about 7" wider than a Maverick, and 3-4"+ taller.

Yup. The Maverick is really close to identical in size to a 90s Ranger
