ADVENTURE
Ford Maverick

Adventures come in many shapes and sizes. They can be as big as remodeling your first home or as precious as spending a few nights camping under the stars. The Ford Maverick was engineered to let your dreams run wild, whether you stay on trodden paths or chart your own course.

Adventure Wildly

The Maverick has two engines: a mighty gas-powered titan and a fuel-sipping full-hybrid powertrain. Let your lifestyle decide.

  • 2.0L EcoBoost® engine: 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque
  • 2.5L FHEV (Full-Hybrid) engine: 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque

Either engine can tow up to 2,000 pounds with the proper equipment. So, if you have a jet ski, a pop-up tent camper, or a 4-wheeler at home, you can hitch it to the Maverick and adventure to your heart’s content. If you opt for the 4K Tow Package and the EcoBoost® engine, the towing capacity rises to 4,000 pounds.

Are you looking to leave your heavier items at home but still have gear to carry? The Ford Maverick has a 1,500-pound maximum payload capacity! Throw your mountain bikes, camping gear, or new garden furnishings in the back and feel confident knowing the Maverick can carry the load.

Built to Roam

The Maverick looks good on city streets and winding roads. It also looks good with a coat of dirt and grime! With the help of these standard and available features, you can take any terrain by storm:

  • All-Wheel Drive – Enjoy a balanced ride on smooth asphalt or loose surfaces.
  • Up to 7 Drive Modes – Watch the Maverick adapt on the fly with Normal, Tow/Haul, Slippery, Eco, Sport, and available Sand and Mud/Ruts modes.
  • TREMOR® Off-Road Package – Adds an off-road-tuned suspension, greater ground clearance, and steel skid plates.
  • FX4® Off-Road Package – Fortifies the Maverick with front tow hooks, skid plates, tuned shocks, all-terrain tires, and more!

Get ready to go confidently everywhere.

UTILITY
Ford Maverick

The Ford Maverick is compact, and it’s mighty in utility. Venture to the truck bed to discover how this pickup was engineered with you in mind.

Pick Up and Go

Do you need to help a friend move, transport firewood, or bring home a new appliance for your hobby room? The Maverick has got it from here. Its 4.5-foot cargo bed has up to 33.3 cubic feet of fillable space. Plus, the bed walls are shorter, letting you easily access the bed or the available passenger-side storage cubby without breaking a sweat.

Its Multi-Position Tailgate can be locked in an upright, mid, or flat position to help you secure and transport your materials or gear. Speaking of securing cargo, the Maverick comes with the FLEXBED® Storage System, which lets you add dividers and up to 10 cargo tie-downs, which double as bottle openers!

Power on the Go

Get the party started with the Maverick’s two standard pre-wired 12-volt electrical leads. You can set up LED lights that match your team’s colors or power a TV or mini fridge.

If you need a bigger power boost, opt for the two available 400-watt 110-volt outlets. These outlets are found in the truck bed and will be a sufficient energy source to charge your electric bike, blow up inner tubes and other water loungers, or charge your devices.

INTERIOR
Ford Maverick

Simplicity and practicality are common themes for the Ford Maverick, especially displayed in its cabin. From optimized storage to luxurious touches, this pickup truck proves the little things matter most.

An Organizer’s Daydream

At first glance, the Ford Maverick’s cabin looks like any other pickup’s. However, it hides convenience in plain sight with these standard storage solutions:?

  • Rear Under-Seat Storage – Flip up the rear bench seat to store tools or sports equipment.
  • Door-Pocket Storage – Do you have nowhere to put your reusable water bottle? The Maverick leaves a space in the door big enough for a 1.5-liter or 50-ounce bottle!
  • Ergonomically Designed Center Console – This is a great place to house valuables, charging cords, or emergency kits.

With the optional Ford Integrated Tether System (FITS) in place, you can personalize the Maverick with accessories like extra cupholders, trash bins, grocery hooks, storage dividers, and more. The Maverick’s cabin is your oyster!

Comfort and Tech

The Ford Maverick is available in three trim levels, each offering a different type of comfort.

  • The XL trim provides supple cloth seats.
  • The XLT trim treats you to unique cloth seating with orange stitching at high-traffic touchpoints.
  • The LARIAT trim serves a taste of luxury with its Desert Brown ActiveX-trimmed seats.

Manually adjustable seats are standard; however, you can opt for 8-way power-adjustable seats with power lumbar support and heating. If you need to cool off, roll back the available power moonroof!

Behind the wheel, a 4.2-inch instrument cluster will serve as your vehicle’s information center. To your right, you’ll find an 8-inch touchscreen that can be paired with the available SYNC® 3 suite. Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Bluetooth® provide wireless connectivity, helping to entertain and inform you as you adventure.
