The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motor produce an impressive 191 horsepower while delivering greater than 40 MPG city. The other thing worth calling out is the truck's standard hybrid powertrain. And it can even haul more than a dozen 4x8 sheets of plywood. The design team brought a wide selection of strollers into the design lab to make sure they would fit. One at the back of the bed is specifically designed so that a 5th-percentile female could reach in and access groceries or whatever other cargo they might need to put back there. But the Maverick is a bit more intentional about those slots. But Ford has also released CAD designs for the mounting point so people can 3D print their own or design new creations.įor decades, pickup trucks have included places to mount 2x4 pieces of plywood to reconfigure the truck bed. There are removable cupholders, a trash can, a wrap for charging cables, and a few other things. Fordįord sells a set of accessories to add functionality to the back of the center console for rear-seat passengers. You can buy things like cargo rails or bike racks from Ford (for a pretty penny). This means the Maverick has a much smoother, car-like ride than larger trucks like the Ranger and the F-150. It ditches the body-on-frame design used for all of Ford's other trucks in favor of a modern spaceframe.
Maverick is built upon the same platform as the Ford Escape and the Bronco Sport (that's the little one).
I expect these Maverick innovations will take hold in next-generation versions of Ford's other pickups as well. It's hard to explain how excellent these door pockets are, but once you see them, you'll wonder how it took so long for them to exist. And if you have really huge water bottles, you can tuck them horizontally into an extended cubby hidden in the doors. Ford designed them to securely hold water bottles from Nalgene and Yeti, though they do an equally adept job of keeping Evian, Fiji, or Perrier in place. The door pockets in particular are worth calling out. Sixteen, in a car that carries four people comfortably (or five somewhat uncomfortably, but you lose four cupholders in the process).
