2026 Ford Maverick

The 2026 Maverick lineup includes XL, XLT, Lariat, Tremor, and the street-focused Maverick Lobo. XL keeps a clean, work-ready look with 17-inch steel wheels (with covers), a black mesh grille, LED reflector headlamps, and the FLEXBED storage system. XLT steps up the curb appeal with 17-inch painted aluminum wheels, adds items like a power tailgate lock and a 2K trailer hitch receiver, and lists options like a Black Appearance Package and wiper-activated LED headlamps. Lariat moves into a more premium exterior stance with 19-inch machined-painted aluminum wheels, LED taillamps and fog lamps, black-painted mirrors, and a Tough Bed spray-in bedliner. Maverick Lobo stands out with 19-inch turbofan-styled black-painted wheels, body-color exterior accents, a black-painted roof, and LED projector headlamps with signature lighting. Tremor is clearly the trail-minded choice, pairing all-terrain tires with unique wheel styling, an approach-angle-focused front bumper design, and orange-accent exterior details.

XL, XLT, and Lariat are listed with a 2.5L hybrid engine as standard equipment, while the 2.0L EcoBoost turbo gas engine is available on those trims and is standard on Maverick Lobo and Tremor. With the 2.0L EcoBoost, Ford lists 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. Hybrid models are shown with a power-split electronic CVT, and EcoBoost models list an 8-speed automatic, with Maverick Lobo also calling out a 7-speed quick-shift setup tied to its performance orientation. Drivetrain options include front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive with either engine, while Advanced 4WD is noted for EcoBoost configurations. The hybrid is described as a gas-and-electric-driven setup, while EcoBoost is the turbo gas option. Maverick is also listed as a unibody SuperCrew compact pickup with seating for five.

Selectable drive modes let the Maverick adapt to the road, with modes listed including Off-Road, Normal, Sport, Tow/Haul, Slippery, and Eco, and Maverick Lobo adds Lobo mode. For drivers who plan to tow, the available 4K Tow Package is described with equipment such as a Class III 2-inch receiver, connectors, a trailer brake controller, and upgraded cooling components. Tremor is built around trail-focused hardware, calling out off-road-tuned suspension, Trail Control with Trail 1-Pedal Drive, and a rear drive unit lock. Ford also positions Tremor with an elevated ride height as part of its off-road capability approach. Maverick Lobo leans into on-road performance feel with paddle shifters and torque vectoring paired with a twin-clutch rear drive unit. Capability figures shown on the page include towing up to 4,000 lbs with the available 4K Tow Package and payload up to 1,500 lbs on select trims.

The Maverick cabin is designed around smart space, with seating for five and storage that’s meant to be used every day. Ford highlights additional under-seat storage beneath the rear seat for items like tools or sports gear, plus door pockets shaped to fit most water bottles. Up front, a standard 13.2-inch center display keeps key controls and apps easy to reach. SYNC 4 is listed with enhanced voice recognition and wireless connectivity for compatible phones via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Trim personality shows up in the materials and stitching, including ActiveX-trimmed seating themes shown on performance- and off-road-oriented models like Lobo and Tremor. For an open-air feel, a power moonroof is listed as available.

Driver-assist technology is a major part of the Maverick feature set, starting with Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technologies shown as available depending on trim. Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 is described with features such as adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane centering, predictive speed assist, and intersection assist. A 360-degree camera is also listed as available to improve visibility around the truck while backing up. On Lariat, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane centering, and predictive speed assist are listed, along with a 360-degree camera. Lariat also lists Pro Trailer Backup Assist, which can be especially useful when you’re working with a trailer. Availability depends on model and package, so it’s important to match the safety and assist features you want to the trim you choose.
