The Maverick can tow 4,000 lbs - which is pretty prohibitive with a small bed and the weight of a trailer. You're better off getting a modern Tacoma, of which there is an entire subreddit of people who will gleefully show you they too can haul.
I mean, this isn't even hard to figure out: the F-150 is the best selling vehicle (not truck, but vehicle) in the U.S. for what, a decade or more?

It’s a Subaru with a truck bed

Owned an '86. It was a riot.
Think auto shops shuttling parts around, or needing to toss dirty parts in the back of the truck without needing the hauling capacity.
And the current F150 is much bigger than one from 10 years ago, so even an older F150 would be smaller than the current monstrosities.
> How many programmers do you see with MacBook Airs
The people working on some of the most complex projects of our times rely on compute that isn't available in a laptop, so they're perfectly fine taking an Air. I personally used an M1 Air for a couple of years.
