Ford Unveils a $20,000 Hybrid Pickup, The Model S Plaid Gets Delivered (Sort of), and a Manual Civic Hatchback is Coming
This week in car news
As Covid restrictions ease up and the world gets back to some sort of version of normal, automakers are making sure that as we cruise into the Vaxx Summer of… well not love.. maybe just fun, we’re all reminded that buying a car is freedom and freedom is for sale at your local dealer.
The cheap and awesome Ford Maverick
One of the worst-kept secrets in a while, the Ford Maverick was finally unveiled and with a starting price hovering around $20,000 for a front-wheel-drive hybrid unibody compact pickup, it looks like Ford might have a winner on its hands.
Sure people love the big trucks but maybe, just maybe most people want the utility of a truck without the feeling of driving a locomotive-sized vehicle down the road especially if they live in any sort of urban area. Ever try to park a Ford F-150 Raptor in San Francisco? Yeah, it sucks.
So we have the Maverick now with its seating for five, a cool bed with cool nooks and crannies that let you set it up to haul 4x8 sheets of plywood flat and they even have a sweet how-to to build your own bike rack.
