The Ford Maverick might be a compact pickup, but for many people it’s a better choice that a full-sized truck… or even a car. Affordable, fuel efficient and easy to drive, Maverick can replace the family car if you don’t need a lockable trunk. Tom Voelk checks out an XLT model powered by the 2-liter EcoBoost engine and finds that size matters. Just not the way you might think. Also, a quick look at Maverick’s only real competitor, the Hyundai Santa Cruz.

Editor’s Note- The Maverick is in short supply. Chances are dealers will charge over MSRP. We know that. You know that. The free-market economy giveth, the free-market economy taketh away.
