And the trip to Chili's gave spy photographers an opportunity to bring us some fresh spy photos of the Maverick test prototypes.
Maverick and Ranger Nose-To-Tail
The Maverick will take its place in the Ford lineup below the Ranger, with a less robust unit-body platform that is an adaptation of Ford’s C2 Compact platform that underpins the Ford Escape.
These new shots give a better sense of the Maverick’s size in relation to the Ranger. The Maverick is noticeably lower. Overall length and cabin sizes look similar.
Detailed Look Under The Box
Some close-up shots of the rear suspension beneath the rear bumper. We can see the structural elements, coil springs, and the placement of the Maverick’s truckish shock absorbers. The spare tire can be seen tucked up beneath the truck bed. The rather odd, low-slung routing of the exhaust system suggests that, out-of-the-box, the Maverick is not intended for serious off-road duty.
