It is stubby and looks like a Pontiac G6 to me... Not terrible, but not low slung enough and sleek.
I'd consider getting one, maybe if they ever fix the headlights.
Wait, this is a Jaguar? I wondered why a Buick was shown with the tail out. Makes more sense now. But seriously, for those of us who don't frequent the news or this site as often as they'd like...how about a hint of the make? It's not in the JPG rollovers, nor is the marque distinguishable from the photographs. With squinting, it looked like the Cadillac emblem almost. I was lost without reading the comments for folks to tell me what it is.
ToolGuyFirst picture: I realize that opinions vary on the height of modern trucks, but that entry door on the building is 80 inches tall and hits just below the headlights. Does anyone really believe this is reasonable?Second picture: I do not believe that is a good parking spot to be able to access the bed storage. More specifically, how do you plan to unload topsoil with the truck parked like that? Maybe you kids are taller than me.
ToolGuyThe other day I attempted to check the engine oil in one of my old embarrassing vehicles and I guess the red shop towel I used wasn't genuine Snap-on (lots of counterfeits floating around) plus my driveway isn't completely level and long story short, the engine seized 3 minutes later.No more used cars for me, and nothing but dealer service from here on in (the journalists were right).
DoughboyWow, Merc knocks it out of the park with their naming convention… again. /s
DoughboyI’ve seen car bras before, but never car beards. ZZ Top would be proud.
BkojoteAllright, actual person who knows trucks here, the article gets it a bit wrong.First off, the Maverick is not at all comparable to a Tacoma just because they're both Hybrids. Or lemme be blunt, the butch-est non-hybrid Maverick Tremor is suitable for 2/10 difficulty trails, a Trailhunter is for about 5/10 or maybe 6/10, just about the upper end of any stock vehicle you're buying from the factory. Aside from a Sasquatch Bronco or Rubicon Jeep Wrangler you're looking at something you're towing back if you want more capability (or perhaps something you /wish/ you were towing back.)Now, where the real world difference should play out is on the trail, where a lot of low speed crawling usually saps efficiency, especially when loaded to the gills. Real world MPG from a 4Runner is about 12-13mpg, So if this loaded-with-overlander-catalog Trailhunter is still pulling in the 20's - or even 18-19, that's a massive improvement.
