Interestingly the Maverick has been reborn as a pickup truck, Ford works in mysterious ways.Well, IF we're going to get technical about naming Ford cars, the Mustang and Maverick were both based on the 1960 Ford Falcon platform. The 1971 Maverick came in a 4-door sedan body style. The word "Mustang" originates in Spanish as a term for wild, feral horses left over from the Spanish Conquistadors.
Maverick is an unbranded range animal, so near the same meaning regarding wild, free-range animals as is the Mustang horse. Maverick also is a term for an independent-thinking, non-conformist person, so perhaps the Mach-E should have been called the Mustang Maverick. That would have brought it full circle and inclusive of 1960's Ford history and vehicle legacies.
