silvrsvt Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I dunno I don't think the cap looks terrible at all...the black line around the bottom-well not much you can do about that-unless you want an Escape or a Transit Connect ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed- after all, its for added utility. Probably tall enough to fit a couple of bikes standing up a la bronco sport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also seems to be aerodynamic and that small uplift probably creates some down force to the Maverick's light rear end at 70mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 It’s another one for the OCDs who prefer clean straight profile but once again, the small size of a compact Utes dictates function over form. had the door frames and roof line been higher, the canopy would have matched.

buddysystem Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) https://www.motortrend.com/news/ford-maverick-st-sport-truck-render/ This!

T-dubz Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Honestly I’m surprised to see this even offered. I rarely see these on full-size trucks, and I couldn’t tel you the last time I saw one on a midsize or smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They passed on Escape ST and seems to be in no hurry to make a Bronco Sport 2.3 either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Wondering about the panel van version (Transit Connect) and what roof line it will have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford obviously used the TC’s door frames but they were reskinned with a higher belt line but Maverick obviously has a a lower profile roof than the TC (van is ~3” higher Maverick). If Maverick used the thicker van roofline, the canopy would work but it would look like a Van, this is where economising with too many parts leads to design conflicts in other areas. Ford is now stuck with a compromised design that’s hard to fix without a major change. (a graduated increase in roof height from front to back may have fixed the problem) bzcat, One change requested by customer feedback has been a high roofline option for TC, it’s something that Ford Europe refused to entertain, this could add significant sales Edited June 26, 2021 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blksn8k2 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Looks disconnected, like someone parked an old SUV beside it and then snapped a pic. I never realized how bad the diaper/bumper looked either until I saw this. Looks like it's already carrying a load. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzcat Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Ford trademarks "Rattler" name which some publications reckons is the performance version of Maverick. Makes sense that Ford will not use the Raptor name on Maverick... you can't make Maverick capable off road worthy of the Raptor name so better to use another name. And "ST" doesn't quite fit the image of Maverick either. I imagine 2.3 EcoBoost and AWD combo from Corsair will make the Maverick Rattler quite a performance machine... Should hold its own against Civic Si, Golf GTI, or Impreza WRX. https://www.autoblog.com/2021/07/02/ford-rattler-trademark-application/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyes opened now that some performance vehicles doesn’t have to be called Raptor or ST or even GT, things like Warthog and Rattlesnake are clever and hard for competitors to counter.
