This isn’t the Ford Maverick you remember. When most of us hear the words: Ford Maverick, usually a compact, sporty, mass-produced, little Ford comes to mind; definitely not a pickup truck. Ford decided to bring back the old nameplate for a new fully hybrid pickup truck.
“The Maverick product proposition is like nothing else out there. It’s a great-looking truck featuring four doors with room for five adults, a standard full-hybrid engine with city fuel economy that beats a Honda Civic***, plenty of towing and hauling for weekend trips or do-it-yourself projects, and it starts under $20,000,” said Todd Eckert, Ford truck group marketing manager. “Maverick challenges the status quo and the stereotypes of what a pickup truck can be. We believe it will be compelling to a lot of people who never before considered a truck.”
