Performance and Technical Specifications

The 2026 Maverick offers two distinct powertrain options: a standard 2.5L full hybrid system that delivers exceptional fuel economy, and an available 2.0L EcoBoost turbocharged engine for drivers prioritizing power and towing capability.

Hybrid Efficiency Meets Real-World Capability

The standard 2.5L PowerBoost full hybrid engine combines a naturally aspirated four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor to produce 191 total system horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain achieves an EPA-estimated 42 MPG city, 33 MPG highway, and 37 MPG combined, making the Maverick the most fuel-efficient pickup truck in America. The hybrid system pairs with an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT) and standard front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available on XL, XLT, and Lariat trims. Even with its efficiency focus, the hybrid Maverick delivers a 2,000 lb towing capacity and 1,500 lb payload capacity, proving you don't have to sacrifice utility for economy.

Horsepower

Up to 250 HP

Torque

Up to 277 lb-ft

Towing

Up to 4,000 lbs

Payload

Up to 1,500 lbs

MPG City

Up to 42 MPG

The available 2.0L EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission (or seven-speed Quick Shift on Lobo models). This powertrain is standard on the Maverick Lobo and Tremor, and available on XL, XLT, and Lariat trims. EcoBoost-equipped Mavericks achieve EPA-estimated fuel economy of 23 MPG city, 30 MPG highway, and 26 MPG combined with front-wheel drive, or 22 city/29 highway/25 combined with all-wheel drive. When equipped with the optional 4K Tow Package, EcoBoost Mavericks can tow up to 4,000 pounds, making them capable of handling boats, campers, and utility trailers with confidence.

The Maverick's compact dimensions—54.4 inches tall, 72.6 inches wide, and 199.7 inches long—make it easy to maneuver in tight spaces and park in standard garage bays, yet the 4.5-foot bed provides 33.3 cubic feet of cargo volume. Ground clearance ranges from 7.4 inches on the Lobo to 9.1 inches on the Tremor, with standard models offering 8.1 to 8.3 inches depending on powertrain. The truck's 121-inch wheelbase contributes to a smooth ride quality while maintaining agility. Drivers in the Saline area will appreciate how the Maverick's size makes it practical for both urban driving and rural adventures, whether you're navigating downtown Ann Arbor or exploring Waterloo Recreation Area.

Safety Ratings and Advanced Driver Assistance Features

The 2026 Ford Maverick comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360, a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies designed to enhance safety and confidence on every drive. All Maverick models include Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), which can detect pedestrians and vehicles ahead and automatically apply brakes if a collision is imminent. The system also includes Forward Collision Warning to alert drivers of potential hazards. A rearview camera with dynamic guidelines is standard across the lineup, helping drivers navigate tight parking situations common in Saline's downtown area.

BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert

Available on XLT (as part of Ford Co-Pilot360 Package) and standard on Lariat and Tremor, the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) monitors areas alongside and behind the vehicle, alerting drivers to vehicles in blind spots. Rear Cross-Traffic Alert warns of approaching traffic when backing out of parking spaces, particularly useful in busy parking lots.

Lane-Keeping System

Lane Departure Warning alerts drivers when the vehicle begins to drift from its lane without signaling, while Lane-Keeping Aid provides gentle steering corrections to help keep the Maverick centered. These features are available on XL and XLT with the Ford Co-Pilot360 Package, and standard on Lariat and Tremor trims, making highway drives less fatiguing.

Adaptive Cruise Control

Standard on Lariat models, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering maintains a set distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting speed in traffic and even bringing the Maverick to a complete stop when necessary. Lane Centering provides steering assistance to keep the truck centered in its lane, reducing driver workload on long trips.

Evasive Steering Assist

This advanced feature, standard on Lariat, provides additional steering support when the driver takes evasive action to avoid a collision. The system calculates the optimal steering angle and applies torque to help the driver maneuver around obstacles more effectively, potentially preventing accidents in emergency situations.

Additional safety features available across the Maverick lineup include rear parking sensors (standard on Lariat), automatic high-beam headlights, rain-sensing wipers, and a SecuriCode keyless entry keypad. The Maverick's high-strength steel safety cage and strategically placed crumple zones provide structural protection in the event of a collision. While official NHTSA and IIHS crash test ratings for the 2026 model year are pending, previous Maverick generations have earned strong safety scores. Visit Briarwood Ford to learn more about how these safety technologies work together to protect you and your passengers.

The rear bench seat features flip-up cushions that reveal under-seat storage bins perfect for tools, tie-down straps, or valuables you want to keep secure. XL and XLT models feature durable cloth upholstery designed to withstand work-truck duty, while Lariat models upgrade to ActiveX vinyl-wrapped seats that are easy to clean and maintain. Heated front seats are standard on Lariat and available on XLT, providing welcome warmth during Michigan winters. The Lariat's eight-way power driver's seat includes lumbar support for long-distance comfort.

Advanced Infotainment and Connectivity

All Maverick models include an 8-inch center touchscreen with SYNC infotainment, featuring standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for seamless smartphone connectivity. The system includes voice recognition, Bluetooth audio streaming, and two front USB ports for device charging. Lariat models upgrade to SYNC 3 with enhanced graphics, faster processing, and a more intuitive interface. The available B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen delivers premium audio quality through eight strategically placed speakers. FordPass Connect with 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability (supporting up to 10 devices) keeps passengers connected on the go. Lariat models add a wireless charging pad for compatible smartphones, eliminating cable clutter.

Practical Storage and Power Solutions

Door panels feature bottle holders and additional storage pockets. The instrument panel includes a 4.2-inch digital display on XL and XLT models, upgrading to a 6.5-inch screen on Lariat and Tremor for enhanced information display.

Distinctive Exterior Design and Functional Features

The 2026 Maverick's exterior design combines bold truck styling with aerodynamic efficiency, featuring distinctive lighting, versatile bed features, and trim-specific design elements that set it apart from traditional compact trucks.

Bold Front-End Styling

The Maverick's front fascia features a distinctive grille design that varies by trim level—XL models include a black mesh grille with black surround, XLT adds a gray grille bar, Lariat features a silver bar for a more refined appearance, and Lobo showcases unique black styling with performance-oriented details. All models include automatic LED headlights with signature lighting elements and automatic high-beam functionality. The sculpted hood and pronounced wheel arches give the Maverick a muscular stance despite its compact dimensions. Fog lamps are available on higher trims, enhancing visibility in adverse weather conditions common in Michigan.

Innovative FLEXBED System

The Maverick's 4.5-foot FLEXBED is engineered for maximum versatility with features that set it apart from conventional truck beds. Standard equipment includes six tie-down points (ten on XLT and above), two pre-wired 12-volt electrical leads for accessories, and a multi-position tailgate that can be opened traditionally or dropped flat for easier loading. The bed features integrated slots that accept 2x4 or 2x6 lumber for creating custom dividers and organizers. XLT and higher trims add a passenger-side cubby storage compartment perfect for securing smaller items. The available spray-in bedliner protects against scratches and dents, while the optional tonneau cover keeps cargo secure and dry. Lariat models include a power-sliding rear window for improved ventilation and communication with the bed area.

Wheel and Tire Options

The Maverick offers a range of wheel designs to match different trim levels and capabilities. XL models come standard with 17-inch steel wheels with Sparkle Silver painted covers, while XLT upgrades to 17-inch Carbonized Gray-painted aluminum wheels. Lariat features distinctive 18-inch machined-face bright aluminum wheels that enhance the premium appearance. The performance-focused Lobo rides on 19-inch turbofan-styled black-painted aluminum wheels that complement its sport-tuned character. Tremor models feature unique 17-inch machined-face tarnished dark aluminum wheels with orange-painted pockets and all-terrain tires designed for off-road traction. Tire sizes range from 225/65R17 on base models to 235/65R17 on Tremor, with all-terrain rubber available on FX4 and Tremor packages for enhanced grip on unpaved surfaces.

The 2026 Maverick is available in a diverse color palette including Oxford White, Iconic Silver, Carbonized Gray, Velocity Blue, Hot Pepper Red, Cactus Gray, Alto Blue, Area 51, and Cyber Orange Metallic Tri-Coat. Certain colors are exclusive to specific trims—for example, Cyber Orange is available only on Tremor models. The Maverick's compact exterior dimensions (199.7 inches long, 72.6 inches wide, 68.7 inches tall) make it easy to park in standard garage spaces and navigate tight urban environments, yet the 121.1-inch wheelbase provides a stable, comfortable ride. The approach angle ranges from 17.5 to 20.5 degrees depending on trim, while departure angles span 20.4 to 22.9 degrees, with the Tremor offering the best angles for off-road clearance. These specifications make the Maverick equally at home on Saline's streets and Michigan's trails. Explore available colors and configurations at our online inventory.

How the 2026 Maverick Compares to Competitors

The 2026 Ford Maverick occupies a unique position in the compact truck segment, offering capabilities and value that distinguish it from both traditional midsize trucks and car-based competitors.

Maverick vs. Honda Ridgeline

The Honda Ridgeline represents the Maverick's closest competitor in terms of unibody construction and car-like driving dynamics, but the two trucks target different buyers. The Ridgeline is larger (210 inches long vs. 199.7 for Maverick) with a 5.3-foot bed compared to the Maverick's 4.5-foot bed, and it seats five with more rear legroom (38.4 inches vs. 35.9). However, the Ridgeline starts at approximately $38,800—nearly $15,000 more than the base Maverick XL—and achieves only 18 MPG city with its standard 3.5L V6 engine compared to the Maverick hybrid's 42 MPG city. The Ridgeline offers more towing capacity (5,000 lbs standard) and a more powerful engine (280 HP), but for buyers prioritizing fuel efficiency, affordability, and urban maneuverability, the Maverick presents compelling advantages. The Maverick's FLEXBED system also offers more customization options than the Ridgeline's in-bed trunk.

Maverick vs. Hyundai Santa Cruz

The Hyundai Santa Cruz is the Maverick's most direct competitor, sharing similar dimensions (195.7 inches long), unibody construction, and a focus on lifestyle versatility. The Santa Cruz offers a 2.5L four-cylinder engine (191 HP) or an available 2.5L turbo (281 HP), with the base engine achieving 19 MPG city—less than half the Maverick hybrid's efficiency. The Santa Cruz starts at approximately $27,200, about $3,400 more than the Maverick XL, and its 4.3-foot bed is slightly shorter than the Maverick's 4.5-foot bed. The Santa Cruz offers a more car-like interior with premium materials and a larger standard touchscreen (8 inches), but it lacks a hybrid option entirely. Maximum towing capacity is 5,000 lbs for the Santa Cruz compared to 4,000 lbs for the Maverick with the 4K Tow Package. For buyers seeking maximum fuel economy and value, the Maverick hybrid is unmatched; for those prioritizing interior refinement and turbo performance, the Santa Cruz merits consideration.

Maverick vs. Toyota Tacoma

The Toyota Tacoma represents the traditional body-on-frame midsize truck segment, offering greater off-road capability and towing capacity than the Maverick but at the cost of efficiency and affordability. The Tacoma starts at approximately $29,500 for a base SR model with a 2.7L four-cylinder engine producing 159 HP and achieving just 20 MPG city. The Tacoma is significantly larger (212.3 inches long for the Double Cab) and offers a 5-foot bed, but its size makes it less maneuverable in urban environments. The Tacoma's maximum towing capacity of 6,800 lbs (with the V6 engine) exceeds the Maverick's 4,000 lbs, and its body-on-frame construction provides greater durability for serious off-road use. However, for buyers who don't need maximum towing capacity and prioritize fuel economy, daily drivability, and lower cost of ownership, the Maverick offers a more practical solution. The Maverick Tremor provides surprising off-road capability that satisfies most recreational users without the Tacoma's size and fuel consumption penalties.

The Maverick's unique combination of hybrid efficiency, affordable pricing, compact dimensions, and genuine truck utility creates a value proposition that no competitor can match. It's the only truck in its class offering a standard hybrid powertrain, the only one achieving over 40 MPG city, and one of the most affordable new trucks available in America. Visit Briarwood Ford to compare the Maverick against competitors and discover why it's earning accolades as an innovative segment leader.
