Nope. . .I'm glad Ford did not make it look like a Bronco Sport or stylized like the Cruz. Great Job Ford you kept the design department in check. (Only on the exterior
I'm glad that Ford stayed with the design cues from the larger F series trucks. It was one of the things that drew me to the Maverick in the first place...it looks like a truck.
I think that had Ford tried to make it look too much like a stylized SUV with a small bed that it wouldn't have appealed to so many people. I don't see a ton of Santa Cruzes or Ridgelines running around. I think Ford will sell as many Mavericks as they are willing to make for the next few years.
Ford sold out and has not run any advertising and no inventory on the lots. Imagine what they could sell if they had 20-30k nicely equipped trucks available on the lots.
I have a 3/4 ton diesel that I am keeping to cover the 10% of truck stuff the Maverick won't handle. For everyday use from a running cost and ease of use the Mav just makes way more sense.
I would not have been interested if it did not look like a truck.
