Fairly substantial price increase. I will admit a major draw of this small truck was the affordability. I think some trims are up as much as $2k. Wonder what kind of effect this will have on demand and the order banks.

      You’re not unless you order it. Although I suspect you might see better availability starting this model year.

      I think the point here is that the Maverick is quite a bit cheaper than a minivan. I think a more fair comparison, speaking of price only, is a half ton like a Tacoma or Ranger.

      But I wholeheartedly agree with your point that many people would be better off with a minivan than a truck. A minivan provides the functions needed for most people much better than trucks do, and come with better MPG and a comfier cabin.
