Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the extended cab will be able to stretch out a lot more with the Ford Maverick than the Ford Ranger. The Ford Ranger offers just a little more head- and legroom than the Ford Maverick, making it a little roomier and more comfortable.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Ford Maverick will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Ford Ranger.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Maverick is much slimmer than the Ford Ranger, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Ford Maverick is slightly shorter than the Ford Ranger, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Ford Maverick has a smaller turning radius than the Ford Ranger, allowing you to more easily get in and out of tight spots.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Ford Ranger is clearly the choice over the Ford Maverick for pulling heavy loads. The Ford Maverick has a little less horsepower than the Ford Ranger.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Ford Maverick doesn't do as good a job transmitting horsepower to its wheels as the Ford Ranger.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit the same number of people in the Ford Maverick as you will the Ford Ranger. The Ford Ranger has a lot more cargo capacity for hauling lumber or gardening supplies than the Ford Maverick.
