"Small pickups are back, and at the center of this emerging trend is the 2024 Ford Maverick, which has found its way onto our 10Best Trucks and SUVs list again this year. Based on the Escape crossover's mechanicals, it shoulders its way into the Ford pickup-truck lineup below the mid-size Ranger. When properly equipped, the Maverick can tow up to 4000 pounds and can handle as much as 1500 pounds of payload in its compact bed. Its cabin is well laid out, and most models offer a generous list of equipment that makes it feel more upscale than its affordable price would suggest. Overall, the Maverick is a compelling small pickup truck with exceptional practicality baked in."
