First of all, it was not spied. Ford left it out for publicity

When I worked at Troy Truck and Bus (GM), there was always a cameraman across the parking lot waiting for a chance at a picture.

When we were getting close to finishing up a prototype, we'd just move it outside to clean the garage.

The picture would be on the local news that night.

We’re likely looking at an off-road-focused trim right here, as it’s rocking chunky Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires. Though its ground clearance looks compromised in front with the under bumper spats. The C-shaped headlights are a definite go, and both the size and shape remind of the big F-150.

I am not seeing anything special there. And as a member of the Cattle Clan, I am offended by the name. Ford needs to be cancelled or at least give my tribe a few hundred million dollars....

Seems like a good vehicle for a 16 year old girl.

Front wheel drive, and unibody? That isn't a truck. Period.

Reminds me of that abortion that GM called the Blazer. Epic fail.

Are you forgetting the Vega? Yeeeow, what a colossal fail. These so called Mavericks are rebadged Explorers. Unibody POS.

Just my opinion but if you can't lay a full sheet of plywood flat in the bed and close the tailgate... it's not a real truck.

Ford had a mid size truck a while back called the Explorer Sport Trac but it was built on a frame, this might be a revamped version.

that paint job raided the value by how much?
and how much would it cost to have it repainted?

not for me

The Black and White scheme is just stickers.....
We have a whole case of the Bronco ones at work.....
And probably a half case similar to the ones shown
