Are there any updates to the 2026 Ford Maverick?
Absolutely! This new compact truck sets itself apart from previous models with new paint colors (Orange, Fury, Marsh Gray), tech updates, and a discounted 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine. Plus, the luxurious Lariat and rugged Tremor trim models are now available with a power-sliding rear window!
What exactly do those tech updates include, you ask? Well, every trim model now comes standard with a one-year subscription to the Ford Connectivity Package. It transforms your Maverick into a Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing you to browse the web on up to 10 devices at a time! You can even stream movies from your truck’s central touchscreen, alleviating boredom at rest stops.
Interested in a little more power? Check out the Maverick’s available 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine (optional for the XL, XLT, and Lariat, and standard for the Lobo and Tremor). For 2026, this compact truck delivers 250 horsepower at a $1,000 discount. Factor in the EcoBoost engine’s standard all-wheel drive, and you’re essentially paying $0 for a very sporty upgrade (compared to a front-wheel-drive XL or XLT model)!

The available EcoBoost engine (standard on the Lobo and Tremor, optional for the XL, XLT, and Lariat) is even more impressive, appealing to fun-loving drivers with 250 horses and standard all-wheel drive.
