I think it was my first time seeing a Maverick. I only saw it for a couple seconds, but I was surprised by how large it was. I think it's bigger than old Ford Rangers. Looking at this comparison, I think the Maverick might actually be bigger than old Rangers. Considering how gargantuan the current Ranger is and how not much smaller the Maverick is compared to it, there might be something to that idea.
2022 Ford Maverick vs Ranger and F-150 size comparison: How big is it?
This isn't the second coming of the Ranger. This is just another big dick American truck that happens to be made in Mexico. I mean, it seems okay, but it's hardly anything noteworthy other than being a front wheel drive crossover in truck clothing. Granted, it wears the truck clothing well, but it doesn't differentiate itself enough from the Ranger until you get under the hood.
