If you’re eyeing the Maverick for its no-nonsense versatility, you're not alone. And there's good news—For is sticking with what works for 2026. There’s a bit of a wait before they land at dealerships, but don’t expect sweeping changes this time around. Here's what you should expect in new features in Ford’s compact pickup!
Key Takeaways
- 2026 Maverick prices will span from $30,000 to around $44,000, depending on the trim.
- Following the big 2025 refresh, there will likely be minimal changes for the new model year.
- The new Maverick should be in our showroom in early 2026.
What Do the Maverick's Trim Prices Look Like?
Because the Maverick just got a redesign, 2026 models should stick close to last year’s trim prices.
Here’s where things stand as of June 30, 2025:
- XL: $30,000 (est.)
- XLT: $33,000 (est.)
- Lobo Standard: $38,000 (est.)
- Lariat: $41,000 (est.)
- Tremor: $43,000 (est.)
- Lobo High: $44,000 (est.)
Choose the Powertrain That Works for You
Ford gives Maverick buyers two solid engine options—the hybrid setup pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor to deliver 191 horsepower total, using a CVT and front-wheel drive (or optional all-wheel drive if needed.) Prefer to skip the hybrid and go for more punch? The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine offers 250 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic, with all-wheel drive standard.
The Lobo is the only trim that changes up the formula a bit. It swaps in a seven-speed automatic with paddle shifters, and AWD comes standard.
Towing Capability You Can Count On
Despite its size, the Maverick has some serious towing numbers behind it. You’ll get a standard 1,500-pound payload across the board, plus 2,000 pounds of towing whether you choose hybrid or gas. Upgrade to the available tow package, and that number doubles to 4,000 pounds.
Fuel Economy Should Match 2025 Numbers
While we’re still waiting for 2026 ratings from the EPA, there’s no reason to expect major changes from 2025:
- Hybrid: 42 city/35 highway/38 combined
- Gas-only: 22 city/30 highway/25 combined
Comfort, Utility, and Top Tech Inside
Every Maverick is a four-door crew cab with smart space built in. You’ll get under-seat storage in the back, clever interior bins, and a rear bench that folds up for hauling gear instead of people.
Base models offer practical perks like keyless entry, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, and front seat lumbar support. Move up the ladder to trims like the XLT or Lariat, and you’ll unlock features like ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control, and power-adjustable front seats.
Need real truck utility? The 4.5-foot bed can handle 18 sheets of plywood with the tailgate down and includes a standard 12V outlet, with the option to add a 110V outlet for tools or gear.
Every Maverick now comes with a 13.2-inch touchscreen featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a Wi-Fi hotspot. You can add SiriusXM, wireless phone charging, and a premium Bang & Olufsen stereo if you want to upgrade your drive even further.
What’s the ETA for the Maverick's Arrival?
You can expect to see the Ford Maverick in dealerships sometime early next year. It's shaping up to be one of the most well-rounded compact trucks once again, so keep in touch, and we'll keep you informed.
