Find yours at Folsom Lake Ford.

Power and Performance

Two powertrains offer distinctly useful personalities for the 2026 Ford Maverick. The standard 2.5-liter full hybrid system delivers 191 combined horsepower and is ideal for drivers who want high efficiency and smooth operation without the need to plug in. It pairs with front-wheel drive and an electronically controlled CVT.

For drivers seeking more power, the available 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine produces 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, this engine can be configured with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

Towing and Cargo

The 2026 Ford Maverick remains impressively capable for its size. When equipped with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, all-wheel drive, and the optional 4K Tow Package, it can tow up to 4,000 lbs-enough for small campers, boats, or landscaping trailers. The standard towing capacity is 2,000 lbs.

Its 4.5-foot FlexBed™ includes multiple tie-down points, a dual-position tailgate, and two available 12V pre-wired connections. With optional bed lighting and smart storage slots, the Ford Maverick balances utility and organization in a way most trucks its size can't match.

Technology Features

The function-forward technology in this new Ford truck brings convenience without overcomplication. The standard 8-inch center display integrates SYNC® 4 software, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and over-the-air update capability. Available upgrades include a digital instrument cluster and FordPass® Connect with Wi-Fi® hotspot support.

Interior innovations include the available FITS™ accessory system, which lets you slot in Ford-designed or 3D-printed add-ons for cupholders, storage dividers, or hooks. A power-sliding rear window is also available, adding fresh air and better access to the bed.

Safety Features

Advanced driver-assistance features help keep you alert in traffic and calm on longer drives. Standard equipment in the 2026 Ford Maverick includes:

  • Pre-Collision Assist® with Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Rear View Camera
  • Dynamic Brake Support

Available features include Blind Spot Information System® with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go.
