In memory of my 95 extended cab
Why can't they make the Maverick a 2 door!

Sales figures don’t support it. There is some demand, but not enough to redesign the platform to support 2-door. That’s a consequence of unibody design, 2 door is a completely different engineering from 4 door.
2 door trucks are barely available for consumers these days, you practically have to get them off the fleet lots.
Small electric trucks are coming. Slate is marketing like crazy to drive up demand. Telo is struggling to get to market. CAFE killed small gas trucks. That’s probably OK, electric is more suited for small trucks anyway, just need truck people to understand how much better electric is on small platforms vs 4cyl.
I'd buy a electric truck with a full bed and a single cab if they made one. There are no options that don't have stunted beds that I've seen.
The Slate is the currently the only modern option for a mini-truck (if it releases).
Telo is also struggling to get to market and will be a much better choice than Slate if they make it. They’re not nearly as well funded though.
The Telo is also quite a nice small size, but unfortunately double the MSRP, with the base model costing 41k. It's targeting a different market segment. The Slate's theoretical low cost is a big draw, despite it being less featured (that's actually what makes it appealing, IMO).

I look forward to it. It's roughly the same price as my 95 Ranger, inflation adjusted.
So today's 'trucks' have just slightly more storage space than my old Mini Cooper did. Neat. Like can you legit fit like a bike or 4-wheeler in that?
You need a more aerodynamic cover for the bed, then you've invented the hatchback
Red is peak truck for me.
Back then I was told the extended beds suck because they had more leverage and the frame was more likely to snap with a real load and you should use a gooseneck trailer anyways
No Idea how true this is but Hay if the extra length is harmful anyways then might as well shrink it more.
