| Sadly, trucks like these are like the automotive "small smartphone". At first it appears there is a large vocal market, especially if you read the comment section. Alas, nobody will buy it, just like nobody actually buys small smartphones. |

| A truck needs to have an 8 foot bed so you can haul plywood and lumber. I see this one does allow it by a “mid gate” and folding the rear seats but that’s still a bit cumbersome. And I prefer to have a metal wall between me and the 2x4s in case of an accident. |

| 40k with 300hp and 350 mile range? This sounds pretty awesome imo. |
| |
| ▲ | SoftTalker 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Insane price. We need something closer to a $15k S10 or Ranger compact pickup. Simple and utilitarian. | | |
| ▲ | laweijfmvo 4 days ago | parent [-] | | agree, but how much would an S10 go for today if they had just kept making them? probably $25k+. |
| |
| ▲ | Schiendelman 5 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | 40k will not get you a 350 mile range. There is no way they get to market at that price for that capability. | | |

| Kei trucks and the maverick seem to disagree. |

| ▲ | vachina 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | These cars are not mainstream and are typically used to circumvent vehicle classification regulations. | | |
| ▲ | Qwertious 4 days ago | parent [-] | | "Used to circumvent" translation: the laws are stupidly restrictive so they're normally (pointlessly) illegal. And the reason they're not mainstream is because they're illegal. |

| ▲ | beAbU 4 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Kei truck and the Maverick aren't even in the same universe of size comparison. A kei truck will give a VW Golf a run for it's money size wise! | |
| ▲ | laweijfmvo 5 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | the maverick is a few inches shorter than the ranger. it’s huge. |

| Sadly true: and I’m one of those who walks their talk wrt. small phones. I don’t need a ute, though, so I drive a cupra born instead |
