Meet the all-new Ford Maverick, a truck built to meet the demands of the DIY’er, the weekend
adventurer, the urban dweller.
The original Maverick was a compact, fuel saver, and an adjustment for the times, and
this all-new model from Ford is appropriately named as it is compact and a hybrid fuel saver
with up to 40 miles per gallon as we look towards the alternative fuel future.
The SUV turned truck is not a new concept as the Ford Explorer Sport Trac was a capable
weekend warrior as well as a people mover.
This new Maverick takes the needs of those who don’t need a full-size truck and those
who didn’t know they actually needed a truck and meets in the middle.
Let’s learn more!
The Maverick is based upon the Escape and Bronco Sport, a size that is perfect for urban
environments, with downtown parking, parking garages, and the like.
The Maverick is modern and fresh with styling that feels new and expressive.
The Exterior borrows from the Bronco Sport with its boxy exterior, power dome hood, and
wide, powerful stance.
There is seating for up to 5 with plenty of head and legroom allowed by its boxy exterior
styling.
Rear seat storage comes standard and can fit gear including fully inflated basketballs.
Additional storage in the Maverick is aplenty with deep door pocket storage that can fit
multiple water bottles, tablets, laptops, and more as the armrest is split.
This also allows you to grab the handle from multiple angles.
The interior features two 12 volt power ports, USB ports, and a 110 volt for powering accessories
on the go.
The Maverick is capable with a 1,500lb standard payload capacity.
This is getting into the mid-size truck range!
The 4.5-foot long bed extends to 6 feet with the tailgate down and with its width of just
over 4 feet allows this bed to be used in a variety of ways and can even fit full sheets
of plywood.
The new Flexbed technology allows you to be the ultimate DIY’er as the Maverick encourages
the owner to make their own accessories to make the bed even more flexable!
There are 10 tie-down points, a 110volt outlet, and two 12 volt wires that allow you to wire
in your own accessories such as LED lights, a mini-fridge, tv, and much more!
This bed works for weekend adventures or trips to the hardware store and everything in between.
Mini trucking is back as this small compact truck harkens back to the size of the original
Ranger.
Although this new truck is packing plenty of power.
The Maverick comes standard with a fully hybrid powertrain with a 2.5L delivering 191 horsepower
and 155 ft. lbs. of torque.
This engine will net up to 40 miles per gallon and get up to 500 miles of range out of a
single tank of fuel!
The Maverick comes standard with front-wheel drive.
And with this set up you can tow 2,000lbs!
For those who want even more power, an available 2.0L EcoBoost is optional and will net 250
horsepower with 277 ft. lbs. of torque.
Stepping up to this engine allows for all-wheel drive and gives you double the towing capacity
to 4,000lbs.
You can also equip the FX4 off-road package to this setup allowing for confidence in off-roading
adventures featuring all-terrain tires, off-road suspension, and adjustable drive modes including
mud/rut, sand, and additional hill descent control support.
All of the technology that Ford offers comes with the new Maverick making life connected
and easy with the safety and confidence for the road ahead.
Co-Pilot 360 with features such as Auto High-Beam Headlamps, a Rear View Camera, BLIS blind-spot
monitoring, the lane-keeping system, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and
Forward Collision Warning with Dynamic Brake Support, adaptive cruise control with stop
and go and lane centering, and evasive steering assist.
The tech doesn’t stop there, Ford Pass an app for your smartphone keeps you connected
to your Maverick wherever you are with, remote start, lock and unlock, fluid levels, service
intervals/scheduling, and so much more.
And when you are on the go the SYNC 3 infotainment system offers hands-free voice communication
and you can hook up Apple Car Play and Android Auto and then power that phone up with wireless
charging.
And crank up the B&O sound system for a powerful listening experience!
The Maverick is a low-cost option to get the capability of the truck with compact SUV pricing.
The XL model starts under $20k with the XLT coming in at the low 20’s and the Lariat
