Awhile back I posted about the ford bronco as a daily driver being I could get a base model with stick shift. $28k was the buy in on that. My current daily driver is a 2008 chevy HHR LS 5 speed. I just found out about a compact hybrid unibody pickup that ford will begin selling in the fall. Called the Maverick, its base drivetrain is a 2.5L gas engine with hybrid transaxle that's been used in the ford escape for a few years. Base model XL decently equipped is $20K , then theres the XLT and Lariat packages. The hybrid will haul up to $1500 lbs in the bed, and can pull up to 2000 lbs behind it. The 2.0 turbo ecoboost is available in 4wd and can pull up to 4000 lbs. I'm looking at the hybrid since I have a full size pickup to pull larger stuff, but this should pull a small boat trailer or pop up tent trailer just fine. An optional 400W AC power port is available to plug into for power tools. I been playing with the option sheets, and it's looking like the XLT has the best bang for the buck at $25K. The XL you cannot get cruise control. I use that a lot, so to get it, i would need to step into the XLT to get it. Full size spare tire is also available as an option, or with certain packages.
