The 2022 Ford Maverick's innovative Flexbed is ready for action

With tie-downs, a multi-position tailgate, easy access to 12-volt power and more, the Flexbed makes the Maverick more versatile than some trucks twice its size.

Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or behind a keyboard. When not hosting videos or cranking out features and reviews, he's probably out in the garage working on one of his project cars. He's fully restored a 1936 Ford V8 sedan and then turned to resurrecting another flathead-powered relic, a '51 Ford Crestliner. Craig has been a proud member of the Automotive Press Association (APA) and the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).

The Flexbed was designed with DIYers in mind, as you can custom build all kinds of cargo-management devices out of inexpensive materials.

The Maverick is less than 200 inches from bumper to bumper and its bed is just 4.5 feet in length, meaning this truck should be super maneuverable.

The Flexbed also offers enclosed storage cubbies, easy access to 12-volt power and even threaded holes in the sidewalls so you can bolt stuff right in.
