Steering and handling aren't as satisfying, however. The Maverick with the base hybrid powertrain is a bit slower to 60 at 8.4 seconds, but it's a trade-off we'd make given the improved fuel efficiency. The automatic transmission shifts quickly when you're accelerating, and it doesn't hunt around for gears on long uphill grades thanks to abundant power from under the hood.
That's quicker than any midsize pickup truck and just a smidge quicker than the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Our test truck, equipped with the latter, zipped from zero to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds. How does the Maverick drive? We tested both Maverick engines: the base engine 2.5-liter hybrid as well as the optional turbocharged 2.0-liter engine.

Check out our test team's Expert Rating to get our full evaluation of the new Maverick's performance, capabilities and more. This is a compact pickup for towing and hauling with confidence - just at a smaller size and lower price point than other trucks on the market. From the way it drives to its few-frills interior, the Maverick feels like a truck first and foremost. The Ford Maverick may be small, but it's no city runabout. Maximum towing capacity is up to 2,000 pounds with the hybrid powertrain and as much as 4,000 pounds with the turbo 2.0-liter engine and optional towing package. Tow ratings are impressive too, at least when you consider the Maverick's small size. That's respectable even by midsize-pickup-truck standards. If you're looking for more power and a more traditional driving experience, there's an optional turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 250 hp.Īnd what about doing pickup-type stuff? Well, there's a 1,500-pound payload across the lineup regardless of engine. The EPA estimates this Maverick will get 37 mpg combined (42 city/33 highway), which is considerably better than other pickups. It comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor to produce a combined 191 horsepower. This makes the Maverick a solid choice if you want the versatility of a pickup but don't need all of the capability offered by a midsize or full-size truck.Īlso of note: The Ford Maverick can be a hybrid. It also has lower pricing and a more nimble size than its larger siblings. Its unibody construction differs from the Ranger's and F-150's classic body-on-frame construction, but the Ford Maverick pickup still delivers some impressive tow ratings.
