2026 Ford Maverick
2026 Ford
Maverick
Since Ford expanded its truck lineup with the crowd-pleasing Maverick a few years ago, the nameplate has been an undeniable draw for drivers who want a pickup’s practicality without compromising on fuel economy or affordability. The versatile FLEXBED storage system lets buyers customize the Maverick’s 33.3 cubic feet of bed space to suit their needs, and its standard hybrid powertrain achieves up to 42 mpg. That edge on efficiency certainly helps to lift this small truck above the competition. And with a starting price under $30,000 – virtually unheard of for a pickup – the Maverick provides clear value for a modest payment. For the 2026 model year, Ford has expanded the powertrain options with an available 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine/front-wheel drivetrain combination, which was previously reserved for the 2.5-liter hybrid drive unit.
