The 2022 Maverick pickup truck is a hybrid that boasts some 40 mpg in the city.
Pickup trucks are one of the best selling vehicles in America. It’s easy to see why—they offer excellent visibility and unmatched utility no matter where they’re driven. But trucks have gotten so bloated and expensive that many buyers have chosen to go the route of the crossover instead. But perhaps not anymore.
The Maverick is far from a normal truck. For evidence, simply look under the hood and you’ll find a hybrid powertrain which uses an electric motor to power the truck in conjunction with its gasoline-powered 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The pair deliver 191 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque and sends power to the wheels via a continuously variable transmission .
All Mavericks will be offered in the same body configuration: a crew cab with a 4.5-foot bed in each of its three trims—XL, XLT, and the top-tier Lariat.From the outside, the Maverick can be configured to blend in with the crowd or stick out like a sore thumb—a nod to the younger buyers Ford hopes to attract with the compact pickup. A total of 11 different paint jobs are available depending on the trim, including a number of fun Ford hero colors like Velocity Blue, Rapid Red, and Cyber Orange.
The 4.5-foot bed isn’t the biggest pickup box on the market, and it wasn’t meant to be. Still, it can hold up to 1,500 pounds or a four-by-eight foot sheet of plywood. As an aside, the top of the bed is trimmed with plastic bed rails to avoid scratching the Maverick’s loudly-painted body as cargo is loaded and unloaded.
