Ford Maverick First Look: Competence, At Only $21K

        It's no secret that Ford are up to great things: First came the outstanding, fiery Mustang GT500. Soon after, the legendary Bronco returned, sporting an outstanding retro design. Around 1 month ago, Ford revived the Lightning moniker, and put it on a outrageously innovative version of the best selling vehicle in the country, the F-150. Now, Ford are making a truck for only $21K. Looking at the lush interior, I couldn't have imagined such a well-appointed truck going for so little. Although the front end doesn't particularly impress me, the rest of the vehicle screams "Bargain!" Glancing at the market, it seems the Maverick is aimed squarely at the Toyota Tacoma. Although the Tacoma is roughly the same size as the Maverick, and features a similarly powered engine, the Ford somehow is able to undercut the price of the 'Yota by $4K. Even though not much is known of the Mav at this point, it is shaping up to be a heck of a bargain, in all the ways possible. It admittedly isn't a show-stopper like the Ford Lightning, Tesla Cybertruck, or Rivian R1T, but is almost guaranteed to sell like crazy. The Ford Maverick is definitely one to watch going into the 2022 model year.
