Key Features of the 2026 Ford Maverick

2.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid

The available 2.5L PowerBoost® Full Hybrid powertrain pairs smooth, near-instant torque with an automatic continuously variable transmission for a calm, confident drive. The hybrid’s seamless operation is ideal for in-town errand loops and longer highway stretches alike, and the front-wheel drive layout maximizes space efficiency while keeping the Maverick easy to maneuver. Ford engineered the system with everyday practicality in mind, so you get the benefits of refined power delivery without complicating ownership. The hybrid pairs especially well with the Maverick’s standard 13.2-inch center display, letting drivers keep tabs on drive data, navigation, and audio with simple, smartphone-like interactions. If your priorities include refined response, fewer stops at the pump, and a pickup that feels just as happy on a neighborhood grocery run as it does on an all-day drive, the hybrid is a compelling heart for the platform.

2.0L EcoBoost® Engine

For drivers who love a more spirited punch, the available 2.0L EcoBoost® is tuned to deliver the confident acceleration you want when merging, passing, or heading for the hills. It is offered with an 8-speed automatic and, in select configurations, advanced AWD hardware that enables precise power distribution. Opt for the Maverick Lobo™ and you step into a performance-forward setup with a 7-speed quick shift transmission with paddle shifters, a torque vectoring capable twin clutch rear drive unit, and performance-tuned steering and suspension. That combination sharpens response in corners and enhances traction when the surface turns loose. The Maverick® Tremor® pushes in a different direction — off-road — with advanced 4WD, a rear drive unit lock, off-road tuned suspension with unique springs and shocks, and protective skid plates. Between EcoBoost® tuning, specialized driveline tech, and those model-specific upgrades, this compact pickup confidently spans daily driving, canyon carving, and trail exploration.

FLEXBED® Storage System

The FLEXBED® Storage System turns the Maverick’s 4.5-foot bed into a seriously useful workspace. With a bed length of 54.4 inches and a width of 53.3 inches, it is sized for everyday projects yet cleverly designed for customization. You can create segmented storage, secure bikes or kayaks, and integrate accessories to support tasks from gardening to weekend camping. Tie-down points and available bed outlets support both cargo management and light-duty power needs at the site. The Maverick’s tailgate is engineered for multi-position use, which helps you carry longer items securely. It is the kind of bed that rewards creativity, whether you are organizing tools for a project day or bringing home supplies for a DIY upgrade. Ford made the FLEXBED easy to adapt, so owners can reconfigure it as needs change without special tools or complex parts.

Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist 2.0

Available Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist 2.0 layers driver-assist intelligence to boost confidence. The suite can include helpful systems for busy commutes, highway miles, and those moments when your hands are full and the street is full of surprises. Pair it with the available 360-Degree Camera and you can see more of your surroundings during parking and low-speed maneuvers, reducing stress in tight lots and trailhead spaces. On tow days, available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ in the lineup helps simplify tricky backing scenarios by letting you steer the trailer with a dial, while the truck automatically manages steering inputs. The combination of clear camera views, intuitive controls, and software that supports you behind the wheel reflects Ford’s approach to tech — add features that feel natural and make driving easier without getting in your way.

13.2" Center Display with SYNC® 4

Standard across the Maverick lineup, the 13.2-inch center display with SYNC® 4 is both the digital heart of the cabin and the user experience you will touch most. It is crisp, quick to respond, and thoughtfully laid out to minimize distraction. The large screen size makes it easier to see what matters — from navigation to camera feeds — and the modern interface supports your favorite apps and features with the clarity of a tablet. Pair that with available interior upgrades like ActiveX®-trimmed seating surfaces, available heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel on select trims, and you have a cabin that stays comfortable in daily use and road-trip ready when the calendar opens up. The Maverick’s interior philosophy is consistent: easy to live with, easy to keep clean, and cleverly designed so small details add up to a big difference.
