Bigger doesn’t always mean better. The 2024 Ford Maverick delivers tough performance in a compact package, and it feels at home on city streets and off-road trails.
5 Versatile Features of the 2024 Ford Maverick
The Maverick is a compact pickup truck that can seat up to 5 passengers. Horsepower ranges between 191 and 250 depending on your engine setup, and you can potentially tow up to 4000 lbs with the required add-ons and equipment. With a slimmer profile compared to other trucks in the market, the Maverick is a great choice for city dwellers who need to haul bulky loads, tow a trailer, or bring along the kayaks for a weekend adventure.
1. Choose Your Perfect Powertrain
A 250-horsepower 2.0L EcoBoost engine and 8-speed automatic transmission comes as standard, or you can upgrade to the hybrid powertrain consisting of a 2.5L FHEV and electronic continuous variable transmission. Front wheel drive is standard on the hybrid powertrain, and you can upgrade to all-wheel drive on the EcoBoost powertrain. Regardless of your choice, you’ll have electric power-assist steering and an electric parking brake as standard.
2. Fit the Tray Your Way
Outside, the Maverick’s truck box can accommodate up to 33.3 cubic feet of cargo volume and is fitted with Ford’s Flexbed system for creating your perfect storage set up. Available upgrades include 4-pin or 7-pin trailer hitch, bed tie down locking rails, bed tray liner, and bed extender for managing more bulky cargo.
3. Room for Everything and Everyone
In the Maverick’s cabin, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to storage. Roomy storage bins are located under the rear fold-down seat, perfect for keeping small equipment items or bags. Everyone can fit a water bottle inside their door cubby and the middle front console has neat dividers for keeping small items in their place.
4. Tech That Works for You
An 8.0-inch touchscreen console comes as standard with Bluetooth connection for easily linking your devices. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto makes it easy to use your phone remotely while driving. The premium LARIAT trim comes with Ford’s SYNC 3 system, giving you additional voice control and in-built navigation.
5. Co-Pilot 360: Your Safety Sidekick
Pre-Collision Assist comes as standard on the base Maverick XL trim, along with a handy rear view camera for navigating tight spaces. You can choose to add on other Co-Pilot features, such as Ford’s Lane Keeping System, and Blind Spot Information System. Other trims give you access to additional features like Hill Descent Control, and Adaptive Cruise Control.
