Quote HistoryQuoted: The Ranger has a 2200lb-3000lb payload rating in the rest of the world. Ford nerfs the US version's payload to make the vastly more profitable F-150 look like more of an upgrade. You know what's funny? Up until 1996, the Mercury Grand Marquis/ Ford Crown Vic were rated at 5000lbs of towing capacity. In 1997, the rating was dropped to 2000 lbs. In 2003, it was dropped again to 1500 lbs. All this with the same engine and transmission available in the F150 at the same time, in a body-on-frame car. The only noticeable difference is that, in 2003, they went to a fully boxed and hydroformed frame, and a Watts-link suspension in the rear. The theory is that Ford downgraded the towing capacity to make the F150 look like a better alternative if you needed to tow something on a regular basis. |

Looks like every new truck in that the front bumper is lower and there is less clearance along the middle than the ranger. Of course that's due to aero and mpg requirements, but it really screws some of these trucks for getting off road at all. Especially since the wheelbase is longer than the longest old Ranger.

Air dams and even bumpers can come off pretty easily if off road clearance is really the priority but it’s just not for these rigs. They still have more than most people will ever need. |

update: no hybrids for the foreseeable future,
https://www.carscoops.com/2021/09/ford-pauses-production-scheduling-of-new-hybrid-maverick-models/ A parts availability issue has prompted Ford to pause the scheduling of new Maverick hybrid pickup truck orders. A notice issued to Ford dealerships by the automaker and shared to the Maverick Truck Club forum reveals that orders placed for the Maverick hybrid will not be selected for scheduling “until further notice.” I wonder if this translates to "literally no one wanted the hybrid, they all wanted the ecoboost"? This news comes roughly a month after a Ford dealership in Iowa revealed that hybrid Maverick models won’t be stocked on dealership lots and will only be shipped when ordered by a customer. Or maybe it translates to "this is how we met federal fleet standards for fuel economy". |

With all of the supply chain shortages it makes sense to focus production on the most profitable (high trim) configurations. |

I don't think they anticipated the number of orders for the cheapest entry level hybrid. I could be convinced to buy that, for under $20k.
$25k and up I'll get something else. |

No, the base trim is hybrid FWD. AWD costs like $3k more and only with the ecoboost. $19,995 for the stripped down FWD hybrid. I show $24,795 on fords website if all you add is the ecoboost and AWD. You can't get AWD in the hybrid. |
