Chevy s10 is Chevy Colorado today Ford ranger is Ford Maverick today Both are under 30k, why do you think they aren’t selling and the ford f150 is? Gas mileage?

The Colorado and Maverick are both much larger than their ancestors. That's kind of my point. At least over here, the Maverick IS selling so well they can't keep them in stock, because... people can't afford an $80k-$120k truck.

  How long have they been out of stock and how do their historic sales relate to the larger f150, ram etc? Are ford et al ignoring demand for smaller trucks as you are suggesting, or does the data show a demand for ever larger trucks up until interest rates started dropping? What’s the time it takes to spin up extra production of different product lines of trucks do you think? This link seems to suggest the ford maverick is actually smaller than the ford ranger: https://www.autoblog.com/2021/06/08/ford-maverick-size-comparison-f150-ranger/ https://www.autoblog.com/2021/06/08/ford-maverick-size-compa... perhaps this is a reaction to more recent demand for smaller trucks and trucks in foreign markets which generally prefer smaller vehicles

  The requirements for cars and trucks have changed a lot as well. You need a lot more safety equipment which adds to size.

Ford can't build the Maverick fast enough. https://www.thedrive.com/news/ford-maverick-sales-jump-83-4-in-q3-as-deliveries-speed-up https://www.thedrive.com/news/ford-maverick-sales-jump-83-4-...

  Are you suggesting that ford is intentionally making the f150 in bulk knowing that the maverick would actually sell better if they manufactured that in bulk instead?

  The numbers are still a fraction of what the F150 sells.
