The Ford Maverick is a compact pickup truck produced by Ford. It was unveiled on June 8, 2021, as the smallest truck marketed by the company.[3] 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.[2] It is expected to go on sale in late 2021 for the 2022 model year.[4]
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,[5] 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 will receive the name Ford Maverick, which was once used for a compact car in the 1970s.[6]
The Maverick will be produced at the Hermosillo Stamping and Assembly in Mexico alongside the Bronco Sport for both the North and South American auto markets.[7][8]
Trim levels
The Maverick is available in three trim levels: XL, XLT, and Lariat, with a limited-production First Edition model also being available at launch based on the Lariat trim. Standard equipment on all models include the Ford SYNC 3 touchscreen infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration and an integrated FordPass 4G LTE modem, power windows, exterior side mirrors, and door locks, air conditioning, and a multifunction steering wheel. Optional equipment (depending upon trim level) includes a Bang and Olufsen premium eight-speaker audio system with an amplifier, a keyless access and entry system, heated front seats, a remote vehicle starter system, a trailer-tow package, cruise control, a manual sliding rear window, a power sunroof, SiriusXM satellite radio, and the Ford CoPilot360 suite of driver-assistance technologies.
The 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with a hybrid electric motor that produces a combined 191 hp (194 PS; 142 kW) and e-CVT gearbox is standard equipment on all Maverick models, while the 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine is optional. The turbo engine produces 250 hp (253 PS; 186 kW) and 277 lb⋅ft (376 N⋅m; 38.3 kg⋅m) of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. All Maverick models uses a rotary knob gear selector located in the center console. Front-wheel drive is standard on all models, with all-wheel drive optional only for the EcoBoost variants.
