The manufacturers can't make smaller trucks due mostly to government regulation. Requiring a MPG standard for them is overstepping enough for something the free market is more than willing to define, but the way they measure it is the killer. The trucks don't have to be more efficient in a way that makes them economically viable, they have to be more efficient as in so many MPGs per wheelbase and track width. In that instance, a small truck of yesteryear isn't as efficient, even though it gets more MPGs. Proof that everything the government touches turns to sh*t.

​@@HAL-dm1ehI'd argue the Maverick is a great counterpoint. It's essentially the size of those old trucks. The Hybrid for those that want a "truck" and the 2.0 4x4 for light truck duty. They don't have the tow capacity as these do sure, but I think they definitely could given slight chassis design modifications. Someone just put the 2.3 into a Maverick as well and it runs 11s in the quarter mile stock, I think the future iterations of the Maverick will be even sturdier. There's even rumors that Toyota will make a "subcompact" truck too. Yes, the simplistic build of old vehicles can't be redone, but technology allows us to cram more specs into smaller packages. Really, the only reason trucks are getting bigger is because people want them bigger, and are willing to pay.

@@jcat96The problem with the Maverick is that Fords dealers are adding $4k "market adjustments" on every trim. That pushes the better trims up into the realm of the mid-sized trucks. I ended up buying a Colorado Trail Boss for a couple grand more than a Maverick. I hope the Toyota Stout sinks the Mavericks demand and the rotten dealers have to offer cash back.

My favorite feature of the truck is the interior. The look is more rugged for sure.

agreed they are doing a legit job with their interiors and technology for sure. My only complaint( Not GM, all companies is this: see my message from above : This is what happens when the LEFT braindead in our government get involved and brainwash some of the American people. By all means, offer a 4 cyl as the base engine. But these fuel economy numbers are not impressive at all. If you offered the 5.3L naturally aspirated v8 with the 8 speed or 10 speed the economy numbers would actually be better let alone equal. See the government is a hoax as always. They are making people think the 4 cyl will save the earth and in reality it is just about them putting money in their pockets.

The thing that im a bit concerned with the the fuel economy, you get an average of 18.2, thats the average I get in my ram with the 5.7 Hemi. A large reason why people buy midsize is for an increased fuel economy

I know most are not fans of all these 4-bangers, but that’s where every single mid-size is going. Actually, they are all already there at this point, minus the Ford Ranger keeping the 6. I prefer a 6 myself, and wish there was more power to be had with the 4s. Seems these 4s across brands are consistent with the average being 310/430 in power. The only one that really stands out is Toyota’s i-Force Max with 326/465. I guess with basically everyone rocking the 4s now, we will find out real quick how they stand up to the off-road/tow beatings…

Way overpriced for a turbocharged four cylinder that will not last nearly as long as a naturally aspirated V6 engine for a much lower price. I'll stick with my 22 Frontier that I paid only $40,000 for because at least it will actually hold up!!!

I paid 39,900 for my 2018 crew cab 4x4 LTZ almost 4 years ago. This inflation really has gotten out of control. You will still be better off buying a used silverado over this hands down. Good looking truck though. Way over priced. IMO
