The Maverick seems like the perfect size and price for a truck (for me). I hardly ever carry sheet goods so the small space is OK. Here's my dilemma, I understand the Maverick is based on a car platform. I've had really bad experiences owning Ford cars (my understanding is their trucks are better built). After owning a focus that put my mechanic's kids through college should I say away? Heir really isn't anything else in this size to compare it to (I'm not buying a hyundai). As always I look forward to hearing your opinions and thanks in advance.
