They can praise Maverick all they want but most American women with children don't like small trucks. They like Minivans, Explorers or F-150 sized vehicles. That's really where the market limit lies. If your wife doesn't want the Maverick, it's a non-starter.

Thankfully when my wife heard "truck. 40mpg." she wanted one.

Want and need are two very different things and need is coming out on top more and more. You are right though the majority are still going with what they want at an incredible cost.

You nailed it:
" If your wife doesn't want the Maverick, it's a non-starter. "

Funny, I actually read that this morning. There really is no competition at this point. I mean the Chevy Colorado and its twin are a size up and to me they just don't look nearly as good. I don't know. I feel like they're still trying to have the big truck sort of macho Butch off-road look about them But that look doesn't work on a smaller truck. It's too busy. The Maverick looks a lot cleaner And more honest looking I guess

Yeah the young moms do like minivans, when I was younger I liked them as well, they were kind of like a hotel on Wheels you know

Most people do not want larger and larger trucks. The CAFE standards imposed by the EPA impose unreasonable fuel efficiency standards on smaller vehicles, so the corporate response is to make them larger and larger. This is either the Law of Unintended Consequences in action, or a corrupt and/or incompetent government meddling in something that should be left to the free market.

It's more like "if it's a non-starter, my wife doesn't want it"!

The size was fine, but I needed reliability. I had to go back to a larger truck, because the Maverick has no competition.

Or they could slightly raise CAFE standards in larger vehicles or include them in the fleet but ease the overall standard. Obviously if you make a standard then have exemptions they'll try to convince people to buy the exemption that's easier to engineer and build

Good point!

I can always get a new wife and kids...

I am curious at times why you're still here. No offense, but I just don't get hanging around on forums I don't own the product for.

Where did you get that data from?

My wife loves my Maverick, and can’t wait for an excuse when she “needs” to drive it! It is an exceptionally nice vehicle to drive.
