It's been through this and has hauled heavier loads...

Yea ! I use it for real truck stuff . hauling stuff for around the homestead . bricks , cinder blocks , bicycles (for rehab) wagons (for rehab) , hay bales , lawnmowers , and ECT . I have a habit of trash picking and recycling into green .

So how long until they all grow a size up so that the ranger is F-150 size and the Maverick is ranger size so they have to make a new smaller truck?

The Maverick is about the size of my old F-150.

I have to just add in that I am a bit disappointed. Mine is a company truck that I didn’t pay for, but also use for personal use. I put a 500lb item in the bed and the rear dropped considerably.

Drop does not matter as long as you have travel left.
Not having drop or squat is just for appearance. Doesn’t have any real effect on whether it hauls well or not. Nothing to be disappointed about

Just wanted to demonstrate that a Maverick is, in fact, a truck and can do truck things! There's a lot of naysayers out there that say otherwise. They make comments like, "That's not a man's truck!" or "It's just an Escape with a bed!" or like this one that I actually got from a Youtube comment, "lol drives like a car because it is a car! I’d be embarrassed to drive that ugly thing! It’s a car with a truck bed. Food stamp version of a truck." FYI, I just hauled twenty huge bags of mulch in this thing. Something that an F-150 or even a Ranger can accomplish that the Maverick just accomplished with no fuss.

And just last weekend, I used it to load up my brother's old entertainment set to the dump. I forgot to take a picture but trust me, it was a real b**** to load and unload and took up more than the length of the bed but it's just proving my point even more. The Maverick is a real truck no matter what the haters say, it's just minimized. I guess they're just jealous that they can't achieve over 40 mpg, can park it easily wherever they go, or have the comfort of a sedan or crossover.

My father always told me It's not the truck that makes the man it's the man that makes the truck. That being said. I love my Maverick and all others can... well you know the rest.

Wish I would have taken pictures of my Maverick Hauling 10 sheets of T111

I would never consider buying a vehicle that I couldn't park in my garage. My Maverick fits nicely with room to walk around all sides and lower the tailgate when the door is closed. Ranger, Ridgeline, or Tacoma would fit, but that extra ~10-12" of length would take away the ability to walk around the front, or rear and the tailgate would definitely have to stay closed. Once you get up to a full size truck, anything with a crew cab definitely wouldn't fit.

I also like the average of 27+mpg that I've gotten over the last 11,000 miles.

EDIT: This past weekend saw me haul 20 bags of mulch as well, but I split it over two trips because I underestimated how much I needed. 10 bags at time and you couldn't even tell there was a load.

And was your F-150 a truck???

That might start with the 2025 models from some of the rumors I've seen floating about. I really hope not though. Mav needs to stay the size/price it started with.

Maverick will stay the same size though at least 2027.

Sounds more like you need bigger garage. Lol
