Image for article titled How The Ford Maverick Stacks Up To The Rest Of The Ford Truck Lineup

The newly-introduced 2022 Ford Maverick is set to be the smallest truck in Ford’s pickup lineup, which is good news for a certain niche of consumers—but the compact size inevitably creates some compromise on other features, like towing capacity or cargo space. Today, I’m going to walk you through a spec-by-spec comparison of all the trucks in Ford’s lineup so you can get a sense of what might be right for you.

Each of these trucks serve a different purpose and aren’t necessarily interchangeable, so this comparison isn’t designed to compare different vehicles in a similar class (). Instead, this is designed to be a helpful way to evaluate what truck may be the best for you, especially if you’re new to the whole Truck Thing.

For reference, all specs are base-model unless otherwise specified.

The Verdict

The Ford Maverick is best for people who might need more space or towing capacity than a sedan or SUV but who want something reasonably sized.The Ford Ranger is best for people that don’t need a massive truck but still need to go out and do truck stuff, like haul a lot but who don’t need anything too fancy.

The Ford F-150 is best for anyone that wants a customizable, full-size truck experience but who don’t need to do anything crazy like haul an entire house.The Ford Super Duty is best for anyone who does heavy-duty towing or hauling, or who wants the most luxurious and customizable experience Ford offers.
