Why Are Small Pickup Trucks so Popular?
Small pickup trucks are quickly gaining steam. The Ford Maverick and the Hyundai Santa Cruz are some of the most anticipated new trucks in the automotive industry. Trucks like the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma are popular, now even smaller trucks are gaining large audiences.
The Ford Maverick is paving the way for small pickup trucks
The Ford Maverick is the smallest pickup truck that Ford has ever produced. The Ford Ranger is almost a foot longer and several inches taller and wider than the 2022 Ford Maverick. The Maverick isn’t only small, it’s also a standard hybrid.
Pickup trucks are changing and adapting to the evolving automotive industry. The Ford Maverick definitely isn’t your grandpa’s truck. Even larger full-size Ford models are changing. The Ford F-150 Lightning is proving that great trucks can have electric powertrains.
The Ford Maverick has yet to release and has already accumulated over 100,000 total preorders. This proves that America is ready for subcompact pickup trucks. The Ford Maverick starts under $20,000, making it easily attainable for most drivers.
The Ford Maverick is popular because it combines the utility of a truck with great fuel economy and the convenience of a small vehicle. The Maverick may be revolutionary but it is just the first of many small pickup trucks.
The Hyundai Santa Cruz is even smaller than the Ford Maverick
