A Maverick is almost exactly the same size as a mid-'90s Ranger, which is a compact pickup. The only difference is that it's got more cab and less bed.
(Source: I parked my Ranger next to a Maverick once.)
That is literally the problem.
The only difference is that it's got more hat and less cattle.
I remember driving my dad's mid 90's extended cab ranger and it felt huge. I have a core memory of trying to do a U-turn on a mildly busy street in it and how stressful that was for teenage me.
I should clarify: a Maverick is roughly the same length as my regular-cab, short-bed Ranger.
