2022 Ford Maverick: A Car in a Pickup’s Skin!

What’s interesting

• Starting at just under $20,000, this is one of the most affordable pickups.
• Although it is significantly longer than a midsize car like the Camry or Accord, it still seats five people and includes a 4.5-foot bed.

Prices and Trims

As noted above, the base model 2.5 liter hybrid front wheel drive layout starts just under $20,000, while a fully optioned out top end Lariat with the 2.0 liter ecoboost and AWD with all packages would cost the folks more than $30,000.

Availability

The Ford Maverick is now available in all states, and its popularity is skyrocketing. Many dealers and the manufacturer are providing financial and cash back incentives for the ford pickup truck. You can check for incentives at the bottom of this article.

Performance and Handling

• Independent front suspension provides a comfortable and well-handling ride.
• It has a 40-foot turning radius.
• It has effective braking with minimal fade thanks to its four-wheel disc brakes.
• The Maverick handles like a car since it is a unibody truck.
• You can confidently hurl it around corners because of its low center of gravity.

Despite having a powerful ecoboost engine, it lacks highway performance. It is, however, a pickup truck, and it handles considerably better than most other pickup trucks on the road.

Towing Capacity

The payload capacity of the Maverick base trim with the hybrid engine is only 1500 pounds and it has a towing capacity of 2000 pounds. Yes, that's the maximum weight it can carry! However, if you upgrade to a larger engine with the $745 4K package, it can tow up to 4000 pounds, which is impressive for a four-cylinder unibody truck.

Hyundai Santa Cruz, on the other hand, can tow up to 5000 pounds, making it more capable but also more expensive. Maverick also has an optional $800 FX4 off road kit.

Interior

Cabin Space

• The cabin is spacious and bright. Although the materials aren't of the highest quality, Ford has designed it to look unique rather than boring.
• They chose brighter materials in place of dark plastics. Recycling materials have been employed extensively to offer the Ford a sense of environmental friendliness.
• The optional sunroof brightens the interior, although also reduces headroom. Talking about the room, the front seats are spacious, but taller people in the back may feel crowded.
• Each door has a unique bottle holder and doorbins.
• Aside from the storage under the armrest, the center console itself has 5 different storage compartments for various applications. There is also extra storage behind and to the right of the center screen and under the back seats.

Infotainment and Connectivity

An 8-inch LCD touchscreen is standard across the board. The user interface is straightforward, and the display is bright and clear. Because Ford elected to save money by making Android Auto and Apple CarPlay standard, it lacks navigation and other functions.

The XL and XLT come standard with a 4.2-inch driver display, but XLT owners can upgrade to a larger 6.5-inch digital driver display, which is standard on the Lariat.
