Is Anything New in the Mav for 2027?
Which Powertrain Fits Your Lifestyle?
It could be that your lifestyle favors the Mav's standard hybrid, which pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor to produce 191 horses. It pairs with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and comes with either FWD or AWD. But if more power is more your style, there's also an available turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivering 250 horsepower via an eight-speed automatic. The XL trim offers the turbo engine with FWD, while higher trims pair it exclusively with AWD.
A Small Truck with Big Capability
Don't let the Maverick's compact footprint fool you--the model can carry up to 1,500 pounds in payload, and standard towing capacity is 2,000 pounds. However, adding the available Tow Package increases that figure to an impressive 4,000 pounds.
The Mav's truck bed also maximizes its size. Ford says it can accommodate up to 18 sheets of three-quarter-inch plywood without loading them diagonally. A standard 12-volt outlet adds even more convenience, while an available 110-volt outlet makes it easier to power tools or equipment.
A Comfortable Interior with Plenty of Tech
Every Maverick is a four-door crew cab. While rear-seat legroom is better suited for kids than adults, the cabin makes smart use of its available space.
Even entry-level models include remote keyless entry, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, and adjustable lumbar support for the front seats. Moving up in trims adds available amenities like dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient lighting, and power-adjustable front seats.
Tech is another highlight. Every trim features a 13.2-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Buyers can also add SiriusXM, wireless phone charging, and a premium B&O Play sound system.
Impressive Efficiency for a Pickup
Fuel economy continues to separate the Maverick from many traditional trucks. FWD hybrid models get up to 42 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 39 mpg combined. Choosing AWD results in only a slight drop to 40 mpg city and 37 mpg combined. The turbo engine delivers more power while still returning an EPA-estimated 23 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined.
Will You Drive a Maverick Off of Our Lot?
The 2027 Maverick offers a combination of features that's hard to beat. With no major changes for this coming year, buyers can look forward to another model that balances capability and efficiency without sacrificing comfort. Stay tuned for more from Alan Jay Ford in Sebring about the 2027 Maverick.
