The Ford Maverick is a compact pickup truck produced by Ford Motor Company. It was unveiled on June 8, 2021, as the smallest truck marketed by the company, slotted below the Ranger.[6] The Maverick is based on a front-wheel drive-based unibody platform shared with the Ford Escape and Bronco Sport, and offered with a hybrid powertrain as standard and a conventional turbo engine as an option.[5] All-wheel drive is available only with the conventional turbo engine option. It went on sale in late 2021 for the 2022 model year.[7]

History

Ford first announced plans to launch a compact pickup truck based on Ford's C2 platform used by the Ford Focus in January 2019,[8] simultaneously with the appearance of the first pre-production prototypes. In July 2020, a photo of the tailgate was leaked from the production plants, confirming at the same time that the truck would be named the Maverick, which was once used for a compact car in the 1970s.[9] However, Ford explained in an interview that the truck was not named after the 1970s Maverick, but rather because they thought the "Maverick" name would resonate well with younger customers with more active lifestyles.[10]

The Maverick is being produced at the Hermosillo Stamping and Assembly plant in Mexico alongside the Bronco Sport for both the North and South American auto markets.[11][12] Production began on September 2, 2021.[13]

In January 2022, Ford took the unusual step of suspending customer orders due to a backlog in vehicle production. The company told dealers it intended to resume taking orders for the 2023 model later in the year. The strong demand for the Maverick was said to indicate consumer support for a more affordable pickup truck.[14]

Configuration

The Maverick has a four-door, five-passenger "crew cab" configuration. Unlike Ford's larger pickups, it is not offered in any other configuration.

The load bed length is 4.5 feet (1.4 m). With the tailgate lowered halfway, the Maverick can carry a stack of 4' by 8' sheets resting on the wheel wells.

Powertrain

A hybrid engine with an e-CVT gearbox is standard equipment on all Maverick models. A 2.5-liter Duratec Atkinson cycle inline-four gasoline engine paired with an electric motor produces a combined 191 hp (194 PS; 142 kW). The engine produces Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value). of torque, and the hybrid system produces Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value). of torque.[15]

A 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine is optional. This engine produces 250 hp (253 PS; 186 kW) and Lua error in Module:Convert at line 1851: attempt to index local 'en_value' (a nil value). of torque, and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Front-wheel drive is standard on all models, with all-wheel drive offered only with the EcoBoost engine.

The Maverick can tow 2,000 lb (910 kg) standard, with an optional upgrade to 4,000 lb (1,800 kg) when equipped with the optional EcoBoost engine, all-wheel drive, and 4K Tow Package option (which includes more robust cooling for the engine and transmission, a trailer brake controller and lower axle gear ratios).[16] Also optional only on AWD models is an off-road package featuring additional traction control modes, hill descent control, skid plates, tow hooks and all-terrain tires.[17]

All Maverick models use a rotary gear selector knob located on the center console.

The Maverick is available in three trim levels with the same designations as all Ford trucks: base (XL), mid-level (XLT), and top-tier (Lariat).[18]

Front-wheel drive is standard on all models. Four-wheel drive is an option, but only if the optional 2.0L EcoBoost gasoline engine is ordered.

Standard equipment on all trim levels includes a touchscreen infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration and 4G LTE capability, a rear-view camera, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, auto-on headlamps and auto high-beams, a multifunction steering wheel, and air conditioning. Options available on all models include a power/tilt moonroof and the Ford CoPilot360 suite of driver assistance technologies.

The base (XL) trim comes with silver-painted steel wheels, black exterior trim, a six-speaker audio system, and cloth seating surfaces. Notably, cruise control and power mirrors are not available as options on the base (XL) model.

The mid-level (XLT) trim adds features to the base trim, including cruise control, power mirrors, aluminum-alloy wheels, color-keyed exterior trim, higher-grade cloth seating and interior trim, a larger (4.2") full-color LCD instrument cluster display, and remote start. An optional package adds heated and power-adjustable seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and other features to the mid-level trim.

The top-tier (Lariat) trim adds features to the mid-level trim, including leather-trimmed seating surfaces and leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front bucket seats, powered seat adjustments, push-button ignition, a powered sliding rear window and others. Optional features available only on the top-tier trim level include adaptive cruise control, a Bang & Olufsen premium amplified audio system, SiriusXM satellite radio, and GPS navigation.

A First Edition Package was available at launch based on the top-tier trim with options, including the 2.0L EcoBoost engine and eight-speed automatic transmission. It featured unique aluminum-alloy wheels and painted exterior trim. It was only available for a limited number of units in the 2022 model year (for which orders are now closed).
