Also super useful for delivery services that need to handle a single pallet load. Electrics and Hybrids are perfect for short trip start/stop city delivery driving. Expect small box bodies for your doughnut runs ?Quote

Looks like a Ford Flex in pickup truck form. 40mpg and power to tow. Could be appealing to city slickers not wanting a full sized Ford Lightning.

I would buy this instead of the Lightning if it were electric.
Currently driving a Geo Tracker so used to the shorter bed.

I believe the story says an all electric version is down the road.

Is this a problem of technology, or just taste?

“ 40mpg and power to tow “
The 40 mpg model can only tow 2000 lbs.
“CVT”
They’re getting better all the time.

That might be a symptom of a problem rather than a side-effect of CNG as a fuel. To be clear, you mean "lag" as in there's a distinct pause between pressing the throttle and any discernible increase in speed or engine noise rather than that the vehicle is slow or underpowered across the board, right?Quote

At work we have a CNG car. The lag on that piece of crap is deadly on a busy merge.

I think it's unfortunate to recycle the Maverick name.
Well, maybe disappointing is more accurate, as the name itself probably won't deter any buyers.

This looks great. Man that 4.5' bed is tiny though.
Yeah, I've never understood the move to smaller beds in pickups. I know it's a result of the whole crew cab thing, but still... it's a eff'ing truck!

Small pickups are very popular outside of the US. I wouldn't be surprised to see this become a global model.

This is why I always buy regular cab trucks (that, and reg. cab GM trucks have a 34 gallon tank).
I WANT the 8' box! If you need more passenger space, go buy yourself a minivan and leave our pickups out of it.

I have a crew cab.
It has an 8' bed.
Some of us not only build stuff so that people with button up shirts have somewhere to go during the day, we also have families we like to take places on the weekend. Soccer games and grocery stores too!
Bed length dictates fuel tank size, not cab. Regular cab with a shortbed still has a small tank. At least for body on frame models.
Explorer SportTrac?

Ford doesn't make cars anymore... so its designed to replace a car, or its an Escape with a bed. =)
Once drive reviews are in late this year, if its nice -- as in power is OK, comfort is fine, etc, Id consider one as an around town driver. And no one has really ever said that about a "truck" =)
