• Ford brings back Maverick as unibody pickup
• May share powertrain/interior with Bronco/Escape
• Will fall below Ranger in pickup truck lineup

Do you recall Ford’s compact car, the Maverick, produced in the early 1970’s? You know the one produced to compete with the gas-saving imports of its day? Yes, that’s the one! Ford is bringing it back reincarnated as a compact unibody pickup truck. It will fall just below the Ranger in terms of size within the lineup. It is rumored that it may share a lot of its platform with the Bronco and Escape due to their similar size.

With a smaller size, comes a smaller price tag. We can expect it to land somewhere around $26,000 for a starting MSRP. Unfortunately, there is no concrete word on powertrain configurations, but since it will be a similar size to the Bronco and Escape, we can almost be sure that we may see a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder and/or a turbocharged 2.0-liter. We also cannot be sure if it will share it’s styling with the Bronco or take on its own persona, but we are excited about the official unveiling.

We may be lucky enough to see it later this year in 2021 and with great anticipation. Since the Ford Maverick will be built on such a small-scale it will be perfect for simple daily tasks. After research concluding that it will be offered in a full four-door cab, it will work well for a daily driver and taking the kids to school. The bed will offer convenience for camping on the weekends, dump runs, gardening, and other homeowner-type tasks. The Ford Maverick may be the ideal pickup truck for the average homeowner looking for an eye-catching pickup truck that will save on gas but remain functional for daily use.
