Ford Maverick Pickup?

If I was looking for a small truck I would also check out the new Nissan Frontier. It has a longer bed, but still a small truck. It also looks like a truck.

It's also the only smaller truck which still offers a V-6 engine.

The Nissan Frontier is considered a mid-size truck. The only "small" trucks currently available is the Maverick and Santa Cruz.

Yeah, but price wise, Nissian can still be had for like $32k, roughly in the range of the Maverick with a couple options. Size, it's a bit larger, but not that much.

The Honda Ridgeline is still available, and apparently slated next year (26? 27?) for a more truck like remodel, according to the "internet"

 

[paulsharvey]

That was my point a few lines up; If someone is in the market for the Maverick, because of price, the Nissian Frontier is worth looking at. If someone is looking at Maverick for ride quality, or size, then not so much.

A friend has a Maverick. He drives a lot so mpg is important. He uses the bed to haul gas jugs, garbage to the transfer station, and can put a deer back there when he hunts. Back seat room is a little less than my 2015 Tundra double cab. It works for him, and except for towing my dump and utility trialers, would work for me.

Seems small to me.

I think multiple transfers just under $10,000 would attract more attention than a big transfer. I wouldn't assume no one knows about it. I make several transfers of $10,000 to $100,000 every year and so far, no SWAT teams or black helicopters.

lol my mothers neighbor got arrested for it, it's called structuring in my state. As usual he knows nothing about it, they will report any kind of structured payment setup, especially in the short time frame he mentioned, doesn't remotely have to go over 10k. LOL

I started having problems with rent paid in cash yet every month for decades my business rental bank account is consistent.

I still have a 5 bedroom rented to students and each pays $450 every month in cash making $2250 collected…

I also require cash or wait for funds to clear for move in amounts after being burned on a phony cashiers check I took to let a family move in… it took the bank 9 days to tell me it was no good… then the eviction started with me not having a penny from the occupants…

It's about the same size as the last new truck I bought... an '84 F150.

I'd tread cautiously there given Nissan's somewhat precarious financial condition. Even if the company survives, there may be some paring of slower-selling vehicles. I believe their fullsize truck is already history.

I’m not in the market for a small truck, but I still like that better than the other small truck options.

I dont think i would be worried about that. Let's say the Honda Nissian Suzuki marriage happens, that's not going to affect a vehicle already produced by Nissian. Even if the new group stops making new Frontiers, parts will still be around for 10+ years; and it's not like you will ever take a vehicle back to the dealer for service. It's not like buying a "Montana" tractor, where it is orphaned

Since neither Honda or Suzuki produce a truck like the frontier, it’s doubtful that it would be discontinued.

If 50mpg is remotely possible it could drive sales…

$8 gallon predictions are forecasted as California refineries file to close…

California blend and decreasing supply plus already high cost and taxes…

California gas prices could top $8 a gallon by 2026, new study says

Pain at the pump? California gas prices, already the highest in the nation, could get even more expensive. Here's why.

Did a little Googling and was surprised to see the Frontier was the #3 selling midsize truck, behind the Colorado/Canyon and the tacoma. A bit surprising since I hardly ever see any on the road. Had nearly 2x the sales of the Ridgeline, so it would make sense to keep it should the merger ever happen.
Biggest surprise to me was how poorly the Ranger is selling...it's in last place.
All this was based on 1st Q 2024.

And that's surprising because the Ranger is a great truck. My nephew pulled my brothers 40HP JD cabbed tractor on a 20' steel decked trailer, loaded down with implements too and said the Ranger pulled it no problem.

This should be in the "towing wrong" thread. Pulling isn't the problem. Stopping is. That, and the scrawny frame.
