Compared to other automakers, Ford has the most extensive lineup of trucks, ranging from the compact Maverick all the way up into full-size Super Duty land. But which one is right for you? In this video, Edmunds’ Emme Hall compares the 2026 Ford Maverick, 2026 Ford Ranger, 2026 Ford F-150 and 2026 Ford F-250 to help you decide which one is the best fit. Small or compact trucks like the Ford Maverick have great prices and will fit just about anywhere, but can they tow or haul enough for you? Midsize trucks like the Ford Ranger can do a lot, with more power and capability than small trucks, but they may not be flexible enough for your needs. Full-size or large trucks like the famous Ford F-150 are mighty capable and comfortable, but can also be expensive and may be overkill for your needs. Big heavy-duty trucks like the Ford F-250 have massive power and massive towing and hauling ability, but they also come with massive price tags and...they're just plain massive. So how much truck do you actually need?

A midsize is as big as pickups get in the rest of the world, so they can definitely do a majority of tasks

That Maverick would be so much better with just two doors, two seats, a longer bed, basic spec, and a $19,995 starting price. We're crying out for simple, affordable work trucks, but no one's selling them.

Ranger with 2"more rear leg room would be perfect for 90%of us. Though that lost 2" made me upgrade to the F150.

My 1990 ranger xlt is the same size as the maverick. I believe the older f-150’s are the same size as the modern rangers. For me the perfect size is the maverick/modern ranger.

I am driving an F150 xlt now and it's the best in my mind. I was born in China and pick up truck is kind of banned there. I dreamed to have a F150 when I was a child. For now I am living in Canada and I got myself an F150 for my thirty's birthday. Maybe I am gonna to have a Raptor at fourty.
