While full-size pickup trucks remain popular, compact trucks like the Ford Maverick are gaining fans for their unique combination of capability, efficiency, and affordability. Here are four reasons why a compact truck may be the ideal choice for your lifestyle.
1. Impressive Fuel Economy
The Ford Maverick sips fuel compared to thirstier full-size trucks. When equipped with front-wheel drive, the Maverick achieves an EPA-estimated 42 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. Even all-wheel drive models return a respectable 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. This efficiency means fewer stops at the pump and more money saved.
2. Easy Maneuverability
Measuring just under 200 inches long and 73 inches wide, the Maverick is a breeze to maneuver and park on crowded city streets where a full-size truck would be cumbersome. Yet it still provides a roomy, five-passenger SuperCrew cab and a versatile 4.5-foot bed for cargo.
3. Capable Performance
A 250-horsepower 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine and eight-speed automatic transmission give the Maverick plenty of pep. When properly equipped, it can tow up to 4,000 pounds and haul up to 1,500 pounds of payload. The available FX4 Off-Road Package adds more rugged capability.
5. Innovative Flexbed
The 4.5-foot bed features the Flexbed system with multiple tie-downs, a multi-position tailgate, and slots to use lumber to create customized storage solutions. Available bed lighting, a spray-in bedliner, and hard or soft tonneau covers add even more versatility.
