Behind a paywall, but the Maverick was the vehicle that Ford was talking about that they got done very quickly last year, they shaved 20 months off the development cycle.

If I remember correctly, CX758 was also included in this fast development process

It’s a shame that the utility was dumped so late in the program, Ford clearly wanting

Maverick pickup to have as much product room as possible, I think the pair could have

worked well as counterpoints to Bronco Sport without spoiling its sales because yeah,

I still believe that Maverick Ute would be different enough to BS and Escape to work.

And I think that the BS, the Maverick and CX758 would make a profitable trio for Camaçari* and South America - without having to spend so many billions to compensate tax incentives and breaking of contracts... Not to mention the damage to the brand which could have been spared.

 

*Mexican production is not feeding well our region. Ford volumes are extremely low.
