Maybe an updated model, as long as it's also supplied to other markets like it's currently done with the Mirage made mostly in Thailand for export (and a limited production in the Philippines for the local market), would still be quite reasonable to keep some US-spec model available. Otherwise we'll never know if the real problem is lack of an actual demand for such cars there or lack of supply as it's easier for automakers to turn everything into some sort of fake SUV because of American regulations favoring them. Not to mention some other markets, even though each one with a lower sales volume than the United States, in the end may account for enough sales to sustain the demand for US-spec versions in countries where it's quite common to find US-spec models too.

The Maverick was supply limited from start of production and Ford increased capacity for both it and the Bronco Sport.

IIRC the Bronco arrived first in my country, and I still see a larger amount of it than the Maverick. Maybe the Ranger here having only Diesel engines may have something to do with it, as there would be a lower demand for a gasser truck...
