Ford created something special with the Maverick: an affordable, efficient, and genuinely useful small truck. The standard hybrid powertrain makes it one of the most efficient trucks ever built.
Hybrid Standard
Unlike most vehicles, the Maverick’s most efficient powertrain is the base option. The 2.5-liter hybrid produces 191 horsepower and achieves an incredible 42 MPG city. Yes, that’s a truck.
Practical Size
The Maverick is based on the Escape platform, making it easy to drive and park. The 4.5-foot bed is perfect for home improvement projects, bikes, or small loads. The FITS system offers clever storage solutions.
Value Proposition
Starting under $25,000 with the hybrid powertrain, the Maverick offers incredible value. You get a new truck with excellent fuel economy for less than many used vehicles.
Daily Driver Appeal
The Maverick drives more like a car than a truck, with a comfortable ride and responsive steering. It’s equally happy on the highway or running errands around town.
