The 22 Ford Maverick is being called a compact truck because it is small compared to current full size trucks. It is easy to forget that true compact trucks were being sold in the US back in the 1970's. The 1972 to 1980 Chevrolet Luv was one such truck.

Comparison:
22 Maverick
200" long
73" wide
69" high

72-80 Luv
173" long
63" wide
61" high

In the 1970's, the 22 Maverick would be at least a midsize truck.
