Why You Should Choose the Ford Maverick

The Ford Maverick is an interesting vehicle as it is pretty much alone in its market segment. Indeed, it is sized smaller than traditional compact pickups such as the Ford Ranger, while offering more utility than other comparably-sized models. Here are some of the reasons you might want to choose a Maverick as your next pickup.

A practical size

Pickup trucks have been getting bigger and bigger over the past decades, so much so that intermediate models are now the same size as full-size half-ton trucks from twenty years ago. This means that even “small” pickups are now more difficult to drive and park in congested cities, making them more intimidating for drivers who are used to smaller vehicles. The 2024 Ford Maverick reverses this trend by being one of the smallest trucks on the market in terms of length and width, making parking and maneuverability just as easy as in a compact SUV. Despite this, the Maverick offers lots of interior and cargo space.

The advantages of a pickup

Even if it is smaller than other pickups, the 2024 Ford Maverick benefits from a 4.5-foot-long bed which can be extended up to 6 feet with Ford accessories. This means that bikes, skis, surfboards, gardening equipment, tires, and almost anything else you might want to carry will be able to fit back there. Another advantage of choosing a Maverick over a small SUV is that you don’t have to worry about your cargo damaging the interior or getting it dirty.

Impressive capabilities

The 2024 Ford Maverick now comes standard with a powerful 2.0L EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD. When properly equipped, this gives the ability to tow loads weighing up to 4,000 pounds. This means that the Maverick can easily tow ATVs, construction supplies a travel trailer, or even a small boat, among many others.

Available hybrid power

Something that makes the 2024 Ford Maverick truly stand out on the market is its available hybrid powertrain. Using a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, electric motors, and a CVT transmission to power the vehicle makes the Maverick hybrid more efficient than many subcompact hatchbacks and sedans, with an official city consumption figure of only 5.9 L/100 km. This is great news for buyers who might not have wanted to choose a pickup in fear of increased fuel consumption figures and emissions over a small SUV.

All of the convenience features you want

Since the 2024 Ford Maverick is based on the popular Escape and Bronco Sport models, it is not surprising to find it offers many of the same features drivers want, either standard or available, such as the latest version of the Ford SYNC infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Ford Pass connected services, a 400 W power outlet in the cargo bed, the Ford Co-Pilot 360 Assist suite of driver assistance systems, and a B&O premium audio system.
