Review and specifications

2026 Ford Maverick

The Maverick, based on the Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs, was the first-ever pickup truck to come standard as a hybrid. The base powertrain is a 191-hp, 2.5-liter hybrid four-cylinder linked to a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive. The non-hybrid version uses a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with an eight-speed automatic and 4,000-pound tow capacity. It is available in front- and all-wheel drive. This small crew cab pickup has just a 4.5-foot bed. Three trims, plus an off-road package, allow this truck to span from thrifty, basic truck to a powerful, well-equipped model. The Maverick comes standard with FCW and AEB. BSW, RCTW, and other systems are available. A 2025 refresh brought a larger center screen and updated infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The climate controls were moved into the touch screen. A ll Maverick models received refreshed styling, with updated headlamps and a redesigned front bumper and grille. All-wheel-drive became standard on the non-hybrid models. The optional Tremor off-road package began being offered as a standalone trim, while a new, performance oriented Lobo trim was added, bringing the total number of non-hybrid trims offered to five. LDW and LKA became standard.
