Will those other companies be around the same $20K or will they have an additional 15K+ markup for a compact truck?

They certainly should.
A compact truck that actually gets compact gas mileage at a compact cost. Who'd have thunk? |

I have one on order from last year, so I've been paying close attention.
Theres another smiliar vehicle, the Hyundai Santa Cruz, it's a bit more expensive than the Maverick however. Dodge Ram has a small pickup in other markets, so I wouldn't be surprised if they brought something to the US market. |

The Maverick name was resurrected it looks like, because the picture is of a Maverick. It was a dud back in the 1970’s and it was as bad as a AMC car. That’s my recollection. I think that the one pictured is the 1970 model. |

I hope so. I'd love a small truck as my grocery getter and refuse transporter. The Maverick is about the perfect size for my needs, and the price is great. I just don't care for Fords too much.

Ford should not have recycled the name Maverick. It's previous incarnation was a shitty successor to the Falcon. Underpowered, terrible back seats, etc.

If companies make the same thing and add stupid price games to the mix, they'll fail. Ford may have knocked it out of the park with this one; let's just hope it's not just to skirt CAFE standards. |

Keeping my 10 yr old f150 for farm duty. Ordered a maverick xlt with options for under 26k. Perfect errand and commuter vehicle with AWD and all terrains for the gravel/mud/snow. Local dealer offered 3k under msrp for orders.
Nothing else in the market comes close. |

I could easily be in the market for a pickup truck, but not a $60k giant thing that can haul a billion pounds. I just need something that can haul some shit for garden projects and want to hose out the bed. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Would love to see the Dodge Dakota brought back. This was supposed to happen when the Gladiator came out sharing the same factory, but I haven't heard anything since. Jeep is probably complaining like Ram was that it will eat into sales. If Ram were to offer a regular cab or a slight extended cab with either no rear doors or the hidden suicide doors like older compacts I'd be in for one. As long as it doesn't look like shit, similar to the last generation of Dakota. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It opens the door. Not sure how much market that truck will carry but a sub 25-30k small light duty pickup would be a nice alternative For the price of a new compact car, you can have a decent gas mpg alternative for around town while your work rig doesn't rack up miles it doesn't need to. Great first time vehicle for teenagers if they are used in 5 years. Or even small part runs or other trades. |

It's the perfect work vehicle for a tradesman. Great mileage to chase jobs around, enough bed and payload for tools, locking tailgate, comfortable interior, cheap enough to not worry about gravel and mud.
Going to throw a diamondback on mine, if it ever gets here |

how about one with a bigger bed, forget the extended cab, just a old fashioned reg. cab for two and a stripped down list of equipment with a manual box, ought sell for about 15-17K.

From what I understand, the crew cab short bed is necessary due to it being unibody in order to keep the c-pillar where it's needed structurally. Ridgeline syndrome. XL is pretty bare bones as it is. Manual gearbox would probably cost more in this day and age. |

GM or Toyota could have one in a few months (they would just take an existing CUV and put a bed on it - literally it would take longer to make the bodywork dies then doing the engineering).
I think honestly Toyota should take a RAV4 Prime and do it. |

I have been eyeing the Maverick and the Santa Cruz to replace my hatchback in about a year.
The Hyundai looks great and seems more refined inside, but also had less power unless you want to pay real truck prices. If someone came out with a RWD base model similar to either of these with a starting price around $22k, I bet it would bring a whole new set of potential customers. |
