Here's The Autopian's guess at how the size compares between the Maverick and the EV pickup.

Here’s Our Best Guess At How Much Smaller The $30K Ford EV Pickup Is Than The Maverick

Here's their calculated guess at the dimensions:

Length: 192.4 inches (vs. Maverick's 199.8 - 200.9 inches)
Height: 64-65 inches (vs. Maverick's 67.7 - 69.4 inches)

Anyone who wants a small nimble runaround pickup is in for a treat. Hopefully also means it gets good range.

Interesting, I'm not quite sure I trust the numbers, but if so, that's decidedly shorter than the Slate Truck, which is my only point of comparison size-wise, since I sat in one at one of their live events.

Length wise that looks fine, but the height does seem surprisingly short, though not in a bad way at all. The more I see/read about this pickup, the more excited I get.

It sure seems like Ford, as vague as they have been about the specifics, has intentionally and consistently implied the EV truck was NOT as small or smaller than the Maverick. And they have been asked size questions over and over by the press, yet responded with "mid-size" vs "compact".

Having said all that, visually, I admit that it is far more Maverick than Ranger. So I don't understand why the effort to deflect away from compact

Probably for the same reason Subaru calls the BZ Woodland an SUV instead of a wagon, despite it being called an e-Outback in the global market. Sometimes marketing sells more than reality. If they can focus the attention on the cab size, comparing it to a RAV4, and calling it midsize, then some people may be willing to buy vs if it was called a "compact"

195" with a usable bed would be amazing. I hope it still fits 4'-wide panels in the rear though, otherwise we're going to have a lot of people carrying things tilted. The Maverick got the bed size right.

The Flexbed is awesome. Using the divider slots it means you get separated cargo areas and support for wide sheets. And the distance from the rear divider to the tailgate is perfect for smaller loads like groceries or luggage. The distance between the front divider to the rear divider turns out to fit two 6' folding tables (folded) perfectly.
