A front wheel drive unibody "truck" is a slap in the face to the small trucks of old. A dent in the bed and you either total it or replace a rear tire ever 6 months do to unfixable alignment issues.
right, so you buy a f150 instead and bitch there are no small trucks.
lose lose
you can go buy a used small body on frame truck. just expect to pay 30-40K for one, because they are highly desirable.
You're right it's a lose lose. Personally I'm in the camp of not wasting money on a poorly thought out truck (maverick) and just go rent one for the 1 time in 5 years I'll need a bed. I had a big truck that was just enough to tow my RV (lived full time to save money for a home) and now that I don't live in an RV full time that bitch was sold. Hello New world of tiny EV. :)
