2027 Ford Maverick
The 2027 Ford Maverick gives buyers an alternative to choosing between a fuel-efficient daily vehicle and genuine pickup utility. Its compact dimensions make everyday driving easier, while a four-door cabin and usable pickup bed handle passengers, tools, home projects and outdoor gear. Hybrid and EcoBoost powertrains, available AWD, properly configured 4K towing capability, street-focused Lobo and off-road-focused Tremor configurations give Maverick several distinctly different personalities.

What If You Need a Truck but Do Not Need an F-150 Every Day?
That question explains much of Maverick's appeal.
Many truck owners need an open bed for mulch, tools, furniture, bicycles, fishing gear or weekend projects.
They may tow a utility trailer or compact boat occasionally.
But most of their mileage is still commuting, running errands and carrying people.
Maverick is designed around that combination of everyday use and lighter-duty truck capability.
Why Consider Maverick?
A Small Truck Can Solve a Surprisingly Large Number of Problems
Daily Commuting
Compact dimensions and available hybrid power make Maverick practical for drivers who accumulate everyday mileage.
Home Projects
Keep mulch, lumber, tools and dirty cargo outside the passenger compartment.
Light Towing
Properly configured models can tow up to 4,000 pounds with appropriate equipment.
Outdoor Recreation
Bikes, fishing gear, camping equipment and coolers fit naturally into pickup ownership.
2027 Maverick Lineup
The 2027 Powertrain Choices Become Easier to Understand
Current 2027 model-year information indicates Ford is simplifying which engines pair with which Maverick trims.
XL moves toward a hybrid-only role. Lariat becomes the premium hybrid-focused Maverick. XLT remains the flexible middle of the lineup and becomes the mainstream starting point for an EcoBoost AWD configuration.
Lobo remains the street-performance Maverick, while Tremor remains the off-road-focused model.
Because final public 2027 specifications may continue to develop, verify configuration details for the exact truck before purchase.

2027 Maverick Engines
Hybrid Efficiency or EcoBoost Performance?
Choosing the engine should start with how the truck will be used most of the time.
Efficiency-Focused
2.5L Full Hybrid
The Maverick hybrid combines gasoline and electric propulsion automatically and does not require external charging.
Available AWD expands its usefulness for Missouri weather and light-trailer configurations while retaining the efficiency-first personality that made Maverick distinctive.
Performance-Focused
2.0L EcoBoost
The turbocharged EcoBoost represents the performance side of the Maverick lineup.
It provides the foundation for conventional XLT AWD performance, pavement-focused Lobo and off-road-focused Tremor.
Hybrid or EcoBoost?
Buy Around the Other 95% of Your Driving
If you tow occasionally but commute every weekday, it may not make sense to choose the entire truck around the few weekends a trailer is attached.
Start with daily mileage, required traction, trailer weight and the type of performance you actually value.
Hybrid is the natural starting point for efficiency. EcoBoost is the natural starting point for stronger acceleration and specialized performance models.
Maverick Towing
Up to 4,000 Pounds When Properly Configured
Maverick is intended for lighter trailer duty rather than replacing an F-150.
Properly configured compatible Maverick models can tow up to 4,000 pounds with the available 4K Tow Package.
That may make Maverick suitable for certain small boats, utility trailers, powersports trailers and lightweight campers.
Always compare the exact truck's rating with the trailer's actual loaded weight.
Before Choosing a Tow Configuration
- Know actual loaded trailer weight
- Know tongue weight
- Check vehicle payload
- Include passengers and bed cargo
- Verify required drivetrain
- Verify required tow package
Two Very Different Performance Mavericks
Lobo or Tremor?
Choose Lobo for Pavement
Lobo uses EcoBoost power, specialized AWD hardware, performance suspension, upgraded braking and a lower street-focused stance.
Explore Maverick LoboChoose Tremor for Rougher Terrain
Tremor turns EcoBoost power toward off-road use with specialized 4WD, trail hardware, all-terrain tires and off-road suspension.

Let the Job Pick the Maverick
Instead of starting with the most expensive trim, start with how the truck will actually be used.
How far do you commute? Do you tow? Do you own acreage? Are most of your miles paved? Do you need AWD? Is efficiency the priority? Is performance?
