The Dodge Rampage and Plymouth Scamp of the early '80s were also compact front wheel drive unibody vehicles with continuous body panel pickup beds sure didn't stay in production long.

that guy always gets to review cars before they come out. I'm not sure how he swings that. He's got 4 million car guys as subscribers He needs to cut back on the caffeine. He was hard for me to watch.

What was their tow and cargo capacity? What kind of ground clearance did they have?

What was their tow and cargo capacity? What kind of ground clearance did they have? Their load capacity was 1,145 lbs (which was half the 'curb' weight of the vehicle itself) and rated as a half ton. Can't find specs on ground clearance or tow cap.

I think we all agree it’s a pickup truck in name only.
The concept has been tried many times, from the venerable Volkswagen rabbit/pickup to the El Camino. The Baja, Brat, Sport Trac, etc, all tried it. The only ones that made it were a) cheap and b) had a pretty useable sized bed. Those old Volkswagen pickups, especially the ones with the 50 mpg diesels, ran around for lawn crews etc until the wheels literally fell off.
The ones like the Explorer Sport Trac, that had almost no bed (and/or it was stupid high) didn’t sell hardly at all. If this thing has a low enough bed a guy can just run a lawn mower in it so he doesn’t need to pull a trailer, when changing customers, there’s a market.

I had forgot about the Sport Trac based on the Explorer platform, I do recall their resale value was higher than the Explorer but those years the Explorer was garbage (and I assume the Sport Trac wasn't far behind with the no dipstick transmissions that cratered at 80K)

Now these were cool "pickups". Always wanted one. Way better looking than the present Escalade version. ![[Linked Image from blog.consumerguide.com]](https://blog.consumerguide.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2012/05/blues-brothers-cab.jpg)

When I think of a Maverick I think of the little cars from back in the 70's. Early "Economy" cars not all that handsome either. Seems like most of them were a light blue.

I noted in the other maverick thread, I think the market is prime for a mini pickup.
Look at all the full sized pu that are getting groceries at 18mpg. For what a big part of truck owners use them for,, I think these will sell well.
