Thread 28595174

Price went up $8,000, they think it's a Tacoma.

isn't this what people who hate trucks want? why do they still seethe at regular trucks.

>>28595174 (OP)
Because it's one of the only options right now for the crazy demand for light trucks.
The BIG BOOMER trucks are fun for suburban wannabe rednecks and middle age managers who commute to their office jobs, but they're stupid and impractical for actually doing truck stuff.

Chevy makes this fucking thing and sells it everywhere except US/CA. I used to have a little S-10 and I miss mini trucks so bad bro

>>28595183
The average pickup truck owner uses the bed of their truck once per year. Truck guys are just LARPing as useful men, like walking around your house wearing a toolbelt all day for no reason lmao

>>28595187
>something that is body on frame, comes with a way larger bed, and can move much heavier loads is impractical for truck stuff
>what's practical is a crossover with a bed
what is the point of psyops like this?

>>28595196
so you spend your life seething at them because you don't think they use their property how you want them to?

>>28595202
I understand the practical application of a crossover with a bed. Easy to drive while still being able to handle some dirty shit in the back. Would I ever buy one? No, but it does ring for a decent amount of people.

>>28595202
If you're working on a farm and hauling pallets around those are very important features to have. But I can tell you aren't because you're shitposting on 4chan on a saturday afternoon.

You're pretending to be a man you'll never be

>>28595183
The maverick is still too big for me. And why is it lifted at all?
Why can't we go back to old style trucks?
And I don't understand the new people on /o/ who defend modern trucks. Truck design has been a joke here for over a decade.

I want a Subaru brat, el camino, Chevy luv, holden ute.

Not this ugly useless junk

>>28595211
they're also important things to have if you want your truck to actually last and hold value. why buy a miata tesla is more practical for 99% of people? miata owners don't track their cars, or drive them in any way that you couldn't do with a tesla.

why do they get to pretend to be something they'll never be and no one seethes that they should all buy teslas instead?

>>28595228
Cause modern trucks are very nice to be in and use. If you told someone 20 years ago that one ton trucks would pull 35k on the highway with ease they would laugh at you. Old trucks while cool are not as good as people like to make them out to be.

>>28595231
Modern trucks suck. Just lame luxury cars now. Can't wait for all that shit to break
>>28595230
Miatas just aren't a problem

>>28595231
new trucks are just bad and everyone's laughing at you on the highway

>>28595232
I have both types and new ones are pretty damn good and have given me zero problems.

>>28595231
Everyone's sick of your trucks man. They just don't do anything.

>>28595232
>Miatas just aren't a problem
why are trucks that last and hold value a problem?

>>28595235
>>28595238
TDS is coming in strong today it seems

>>28595239
They're an eyesore and take up too much room. Plus they sell in way greater numbers. They killed sedans in this country. They killed wagons.
I hope the government steps in to kill this industry

>>28595235
>Women Say They're Most Attracted To Guys Driving Pickups
they redditors are laughing while the guys driving the trucks who don't even know you exist are getting laid.

I don't get why thinking new trucks look bad makes me a leftist or something. This board is so gay now.
I wish we had utes.

>>28595245
i think all of the imported and slammed JDM shit is an eye sore, and an ear sore. they tend to be some of the obnoxiously loudest vehicles on the road. why can't we ban those?

also, trucks didn't kill sedans and wagons. crossovers which are raised sedans with hatches like wagons, killed wagons.

>>28595250
But you have neither a truck or sex.

>>28595254
I never said anything about banning though dude.
And those are modified cars so there's nothing to be done.
What are you even saying

>>28595230
>why buy a miata tesla is more practical for 99% of people?
Because a Miata is way cheaper, still practically the same weight they've always been, the drivetrain will last for 200k+ and ev batteries gradually shit themselves over the course of 5 years, are not sustainable to manufacturer, and automatics are boring

>>28595252
Anyone who's mad just has no taste. A ranger or taco from the 90s is all you need
>>28595254
The real eyesore is seeing my neighbors park their big ugly trucks in the driveway because they can't fit the bloated things in their messy two car garage.

Every modern truck is a luxury car now. There's no cheap truck for the working man who just needs to get shit done. It's all just luxury boat haulers.
That's it. That's the problem. I don't care about the existence of other trucks. I don't know why wanting a small cheap truck implies im somehow offended by the big ones or want them banned.
Fuck every God damn thread with this shit

>>28595265
Here you go, queerbait.

>>28595276
Too big and expensive
Must be under $20k single cab

>>28595279
>I'm devastatingly poor
lol

Then just buy used, dicksuck.

>>28595276
Still unnecessarily tall for what it is and barely gets better mpg than a full size truck with a v8 15 years ago. Plus the bed is a whole 6 inches longer than a maverick. The ridgeline is the best midsize overall but the maverick still makes more sense than most of these bloated midsize trucks.

>>28595311
>it's too tallll
Shut the fuck up. You're such a little bitch, good lord.

>>28595260
>Because a Miata is way cheaper,
they aren't. they start at 30k whereas a tesla starts at 35k. you're paying 5k less for way less car.
>weight
something only benchracers care about.
>the drivetrain will last for 200k+ and ev batteries gradually shit themselves over the course of 5 years
same tired meme.
>not sustainable to manufacturer,
they're more sustainable than sports cars.
>and automatics are boring
so are non-trucks for a lot of people.

not seeing a lot of reasons why we should have miatas, or any sport car around that aren't used for any sporty driving.

Those are perfect for almost everything, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing with my life if I don't buy one. OP btw and I'm not a faggot

>>28595365
They're really not bad. And they actually have some real power. 2.7L turbo 4 cylinder, which isn't ideal for heavy duty usage, but it puts out 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque which is no joke.

Imagine hearing that every time you made a thread about those cars. the /o/ equivalent of a manlet on /fit/ saying he could bench press more shit than any of the taller guys around him. which ironically comes off as more insecure than the perceived truck guys.

SUVs are far more offensive than trucks.

>>28595470
As long as your idea of fun is spending a few evenings a month in the garage blasting rock music and drinking beer while wrenching on it, it really is.

All you idiots are missing the real goldmine of light trucks. You can currently buy year 2000 Kei trucks.

I have seen what happens to those things in a collision and shudder to think what would happen to my legs if I hit a deer at 55 mph. In order to be willing to DD one I'd have to fab up a bullbar right off the bat. I think after that I'd be OK with one.

Doesn't really matter since it is the exact same as the used ones which have been crashing in price due to them having issues later in life

>>28595228
All of the shit you just listed is actual junk you idiot lmao, enjoy zero towing and useable payload capacity
>but I won’t ever use the bed much for anything that heavy anyway
>but I don’t tow anything
Then stop pretending to want a "small" pickup when you ignore virtually every decent option instead of literal trash like a Subaru brat. Why are anti truck zoomers this insufferable? You don’t even know what you want.

>>28595228
>Why can't we go back to old style trucks?

Just buy a good old truck and learn to wrench. One cannot be considered a vehicle enthusiast while being a wrenchlet. Buying new trucks is idiotic unless you're already debt-free, hold the deed to your home and the acreage it's on, and maxed out your retirement investments such that you could quit working today with little consequence.

>>28595231
Still a poor financial choice vs. putting that money towards land and home. No wonder this country is in debt up to its eyeballs. If you want greater load capacity and a simple vehicle go up in weight class. Not hard which is why many toy haulers are done that way.

>>28595228
Why do you not have the vehicles you list?

>>28595245
SUVs are the successors to station wagons which in the proverbial day also used truck drivetrains like the 460/C6 in my wrecker which I slew a useless Lincoln to harvest.
You are perfectly free to buy a classic wagon then daily that.

>>28596792
A lot of things are poor financial decisions. At least these can provide some value and also hold value. They help accentuate value of land.

>>28595265
>There's no cheap truck for the working man who just needs to get shit done.

Those guys buy USED anyway to save the waterfall of wasted fees and property tax hit for which they get nothing. If newer vehicles break which like any machine they will, the repair bills are absurd because consoomers are groomed to accept that.

I have no problem maintaining my Fords and Chevys none of which are newer than 2000 by my choice. The cost per year is so low I don't notice it yet I have three trucks tagged and driven frequently plus spares. Ford Truckanon has even more than I do because it's so easy to do.

Any so-called working man is a helpless faggot if he doesn't wrench because he's throwing away money. The wise ones do and instead of handing out thousands in labor they keep that money. Buying goods, not services is the path of wisdom (and you can easily gorge on vehicles if you wish).

Why are most Anons such helpless little troons?

>>28595174 (OP)
it does seem legitimately retarded. I'd rather have a stripped down ranger than a optioned up maverick for the same money.

>>28596462
yeah because they're all gone or never existed here to begin with

>>28596845
The Maverick gets 38 MPG, the Ranger gets 23 mpg. The Maverick also has more interior room.

They both have their purposes.

>>28596877
Yeah the maverick shows you're a broke faggot who cannot afford a real truck.

>>28595174 (OP)
I'm considering one of these for my next vehicle. But the bed is so small. I'm thinking you can unironically fit more stuff in an SUV with the rear seats down if you ever need to more anything.

>>28597324
But that's a Hyundai and comes with major reliability concerns. Maverick hybrid would get twice the MPGs. And the bed is even smaller than the Maverick. It's basically a cooler. The more I think about it, these 'mini-trucks' are just complete memes.

>>28597353
Hyundai is more reliable than Ford

>>28597055
They're quite a bit bigger than a crossover. People call them a "compact truck" but it's actually bigger than an Explorer.

>>28597385
Nah, they actually seem really small when you see them. No bigger than a CRV. Maybe a little longer.

>>28597385
It uses the same unibody chassis as the explorer and bronco sport. It’s not big.

>>28597385
Length wise similar to the explorer, but it has a much smaller presence

>>28597395
>>28597402
>>28597399
"looks" and "presence" don't matter when it comes time to park or put it in the garage or drive down a narrow street...
Physically literally in the real world they're very big cars.

>>28597410
Looks very small to me, same with the bronco sport.

>>28597241
you can buy any US truck as a 2-door. so no, it doesn't.

>>28597414
No it's not the same with the bronco sport. The bronco sport is actually a compact crossover. The maverick is almost 2.5' longer. You can keep saying what you think it "looks" like but numbers don't care about what you think.

>>28597410
>they're very big cars.

>>28597441
Yes it is a small truck. Compared to other trucks. But anon was comparing it to a crossover. And compared to a crossover it's pretty big.

>>28597476
this looks like ass

>>28597476
Sure is a good thing that all garages are the same standardized size. That way if a car fits in your garage that means it fits in every other garage on the continent.

>>28597530
it is bigger, I would not say pretty big.

>>28597536
How small we goin

>>28597536
bike for size comparison

>>28597530
here it is next to a Mitsubishi Mirage

>>28597554
You can say that if you want. An F650 isn't big either. I can say that as well. I mean it's bigger, sure. That's objectively true. A cargo ship isn't really that much bigger than a breadbox either.

If youre comfortable driving and parking a minivan, then you should be fine in a maverick.

They don't sell them here because Chebby wants you to buy their Silverado 500000 with 15L vee-ayte and 23 wheel drive for 11 million dollary-doos with optional .50 cal gun turret for mowing down protestors.

It's not. But,

>Colorado tow capacity is 6,000 lbs - 7,700 lbs and payload of 1,200 lbs - 1,700 lbs.

So a Colorado is smaller and more capable than an old half ton. Lmao.

>>28598765
It's not intended for heavy duty usage. It will still tow 2,000 lbs - 4,000 lbs and has a payload of 1,500 lbs. And it gets 38 MPG with the hybrid and 26 MPG with the ecoboost. Perfect for general usage.

And they're still selling. Over twice as many Mavericks as Rangers. My nearest dealer has 7 they're putting miles on as loaners, but you can still buy them. Or they have 11 in transit (who knows how many of those are customer orders). Sounds like they can bump the price up some more and still sell 'em.

This is the most embarrassing thing I have ever read. Maverick has got to be the worst vehicle available at the moment

>>28599105
40 mpg tho

>>28598753
The hybrid numbers don't include the electric motor numbers. I don't know why ford does it like that but it only shows the 2.5l na 4 banger numbers. The 2025 awd hybrid has a 0-60 time of 7 seconds, which as a reminder is a full second faster than an automatic brz despite weighing 1000lbs more. If it was actually 190hp it would be nowhere near those numbers.

>>28599147
Only relevant for poorfags and libtards

>>28599105
Nah it's actually awesome. It's great for just tossing some mulch or concrete bags in. While also getting 38 mpg when you're not hauling or towing. An anon said he was cross shopping a Maverick with a civic. That's how you should be looking at. Not comparing it to a half ton.
