This is after inflation has been added, but it’s close enough without any adjustments.
Many comparisons have been made to Hyundai Santa Cru since the Ford Maverick was introduced earlier in the year. It’s easy to compare them because they are the only two compact pickups available in the United States. But what about the Ford Ranger. We don’t refer to the current mid-size pickup, but rather the older-generation compact pickup which disappeared in 2011. After all, the Maverick is its spiritual successor.
Yes, they do exist. Very There are some differences between the pickup trucks, which we will discuss in more detail. But one thing stands out is the price. 2011 was the last year of the Ranger, and its starting price before destination was $18,160. This is comparable to the Maverick’s base price of $19,995 and it’s quite similar. doesn’t Ten years of inflation are taken into account. The 2011 Ranger would sell for approximately $22,600 today – significantly more than Maverick.
Destination charges are required and have increased significantly over the past 10 years. According to Ford Authority the 2011 Ranger included destination charges was $18,655 which equals a $495 surcharge. The Maverick’s destination fees are $1,000 more – $1495 to be exact – which reduces inflation-adjusted the gap between the Ranger & Maverick to approximately $1,700. The Maverick still has a significant price advantage.
This is where the magic happens. The MaverickXL quad-cab truck has room for five and a 2.5-liter fourcylinder hybrid powertrain that produces 191 horsepower (142kilowatts). It is sent to the front wheels via a CVT. Although technically the Ranger XL 2011 was a single-cab truck, the middle passenger would not be pleased with the manual transmission. Although it was two-wheel drive, the 2.3-liter four cylinder with 143 horsepower (107kW) sent power to its rear wheels. Although the Ranger did not have an infotainment system (although it did have air conditioning and an AM/FM stereo),
This is a fascinating comparison, and the Maverick is a great deal. We know that warm-blooded truck lovers will recall the Ranger, which was a body-on frame vehicle with a six foot bed. This is what many consider a pickup truck. The Maverick’s unibody construction and smaller bed are more car-like. The Maverick will be rugged enough to match the Ranger. It remains to be seen if Ford calls the Maverick a pickup truck, which makes it the spiritual successor of the OG Ranger.
