Yes. I want this truck...but with a 4 cylinder ice engine. Nothing fancy. No needed stereo or seat warmers or complicated anything. I want a small, simple, and affordable truck with good reliability. Before anyone asks, I can't drive the tiny Japanese trucks in my state. They are cool, but look too small when people are driving what are essentially container ships with wheels these days.

- fckgw 1y agoThe base model Ford Maverick XL exists and is the truck that 95% of most people need.
- 7thaccount 1y agoNo thanks. More expensive with garbage infotainment system that violates the user's privacy. Also I'd bet the engine won't hold up well in the long term
- Marsymars 1y agoFWIW, the Maverick works pretty much as expected if you pull the wires for the telematics control unit. (i.e. the infotainment system works minus the connectivity.) As far as the engine, I’d bet on the hybrid engine holding up better than the ecoboost long-term.
- rpcope1 1y agoKind of sounds like the Toyota IMV, but we'll probably never see that truck ever in the US, unfortunately.
