Jim came out with a "Maverick Truckin" forum about time the maverick was released. I was thinking about buying one so I joined since IMO the Maverick was what the Ranger was supposed to be. 
I'm continually disappointed in the new "Ranger" they should have called it the F125. Bed is too high, not enough engine options, priced so high average Americans can't afford one. Unfortunately I'm a little under average.

Ford: Hey let's make the wheels 6 lug so nothing previous will fit and you have to buy 1500 worth of rims.

Yeah, I just cannot warm up to the new Ranger.  I know you can't keep something basically the same forever, but this "comeback" truck just missed the mark in so many ways.  As for the Maverick, I don't like it either, although I agree with you, it is much closer to what the new Ranger should have been.  I don't really consider the Maverick a truck... I think it should have been named the Ranchero...
