The New 2026 Ford Maverick

Finding a new Ford Maverick for sale means discovering a truck that punches well above its weight class. Ford has brought back the 2.0L EcoBoost FWD for the 2026 model year, giving buyers even more powertrain flexibility. The 2.0L EcoBoost with AWD is now available as a no-charge upgrade compared to the standard Hybrid FWD configuration. That turbocharged engine delivers 250 horsepower and an equally impressive 280 lb-ft of torque.

Fuel economy remains a standout feature of this compact pickup. The standard hybrid powertrain achieves best-in-class efficiency with 42 mpg in the city. That standard 2.5L hybrid engine combines gas and electric performance.

When it comes to getting work done, the Maverick refuses to be underestimated. Maximum available towing capacity reaches 4,000 pounds when you opt for the available 4K Tow Package. This package lets you hitch up and hit the road with confidence thanks to a Class III 2-inch receiver trailer hitch. It has both 4-pin and 7-pin connectors along with a trailer brake controller and upgraded cooling fan.

Payload capacity tops out at 1,500 pounds. Built Ford Tough capability runs through every aspect of this truck's DNA. You'll also appreciate the variety of drive modes available. These include Off-Road, Normal, Sport, Tow/Haul, Slippery, Eco, and the exclusive Maverick Lobo mode.

Step inside and discover a cabin that feels upscale for a compact truck at this price point. New for this year, the Lariat and Tremor series offer an optional power-sliding rear window. This feature extends to XLT and Lobo trims as well, though later this year.

The standard cloth bucket seats provide comfort and durability. ActiveX seating upgrades offer a premium look and feel. Seating for five means the whole crew can come along for the ride. An available power moonroof opens up the cabin to fresh air and natural light. Clever storage solutions are everywhere. You'll find under-seat compartments and accommodating door pockets.

The 2026 Ford Maverick for sale at our dealership turns heads with fresh styling options and practical design elements. Two new exterior paint colors debut this year, including Marsh Gray and the stunning Orange Fury Metallic Tri-Coat. A conventional spare tire now comes as a standalone option.

The FLEXBED Storage System lets you secure your gear exactly how you want it. Available Ford Accessories, combined with a multi-position tailgate, expand your possibilities even further. Many shoppers will appreciate the available Black Appearance Package. It features a black painted roof and mirrors, 19-inch black aluminum wheels, dark headlamps, and a Black Edition decal on the hood.

That cargo bed delivers 33.3 cubic feet of space for hauling everything from camping gear to home improvement supplies. Measuring 54.4 inches from the cab rear wall to the tailgate and 53.3 inches from sidewall to sidewall, you have plenty of room to work with. LED projector headlamps up front complete the modern look while providing excellent visibility.

Confidence on the road comes from knowing your truck has your back in every situation. Trailering becomes less stressful with features like Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist. The Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Coverage monitors your blind spots even when towing.

As for everyday driving, you can get Ford CoPilot360 Assist 2.0. It brings available driver assist technology like Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go and Intersection Assist. The available 360-degree camera displays its view on that generous 13.2-inch touchscreen we mentioned earlier.

Starting strong with essential features, the XL trim establishes an impressive foundation. You get the efficient 2.5L Hybrid engine paired with a 13.2-inch center display running SYNC 4 and an 8-inch cluster display. Five selectable drive modes adapt to various conditions while the FLEXBED Storage System keeps cargo secure.

Cloth-trimmed seats and carpeted floors create a comfortable cabin. Rear under-seat storage bins and front door storage bins maximize organization. Rolling on 17-inch steel wheels with Sparkle Silver covers and featuring a black mesh grille with black surround plus LED reflector headlamps, the XL looks sharp and performs admirably.

Moving up brings meaningful upgrades that enhance daily convenience. Intelligent Access with push-button start and approach detection means no more fumbling for keys. Wiper-activated LED headlamps provide improved visibility during inclement weather.

The available 4K Tow Package unlocks maximum towing potential. This model has the same-sized wheels but rolls on Carbonized Gray-painted aluminum wheels. A power tailgate lock and 2K trailer hitch receiver with 4-Pin connector round out the capability enhancements.

Inside, unique cloth-trimmed bucket seats and Ford Integrated Tether System kit console cupholders complete the practical upgrades.

Street performance meets truck utility in this exciting configuration. The performance-minded Maverick Lobo packs 250 horsepower along with the exclusive Lobo Mode and torque vectoring stability. Paddle shifters let you take control of gear changes. It has street-inspired ground effects and standard 19-inch turbofan-style black-painted wheels.

The Lobo changes to body color-painted rear bumpers, rocker molding, and door handles. These accents coordinate with the black-painted roof.

Inside, find ActiveX-trimmed seats with Grabber Blue and Lime accent stitching. Unique accent stitching appears on the steering wheel and seats. Performance-tuned steering and an 8-Way Power Driver's Seat round things out.

A rear drive unit lock and off-road tuned suspension with unique springs and shocks tackle challenging terrain confidently. Skid plates protect vital components from trail hazards.

Inside, the ActiveX-trimmed seats and steering wheel feature orange accent stitching that matches the unique grille accents. Instrument panel and floor console accents add visual flair. All-weather floor mats and all-terrain tires prepare you for any conditions.
