The Ford Maverick has never followed the traditional pickup formula. For '27, it still gives truck shoppers an alternative to larger, more expensive pickups without sacrificing the bed or capability that made them consider a truck in the first place. Here are all the details you need when shopping for the latest Maverick models.
Key Takeaways:
- There are no new changes for the 2027 Maverick.
- Hybrid models achieve up to 42 mpg in the city with FWD.
- With its available tow package, the Maverick has a towing capacity of 4,000 pounds.
Are There Ford Maverick Changes for 2027?
Ford gave Maverick models updated styling for '25 before making several additional refinements for '26. As a result, there isn't another extensive round of changes for the 2027 model year.
What Engines Are in the 2027 Maverick?
A 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid is standard. Working with a single electric motor, it generates 191 horsepower and pairs with a CVT. Buyers can choose either front- or all-wheel drive.
There is also an available turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder delivering 250 horsepower. It mates to an eight-speed automatic. Drivetrain availability varies by trim when selecting the turbo. The XL uses front-wheel drive, while higher trims use all-wheel drive.
What Can The Compact Maverick Tow and Haul?
Payload capacity reaches 1,500 pounds, and every model is rated to tow up to 2,000 pounds in standard form. Add the available Tow Package to increase that figure to 4,000 pounds.
Car and Driver found that the Maverick can hold as many as 18 sheets of three-quarter-inch plywood without loading them at an angle. A standard 12-volt outlet provides another useful feature in the bed, and buyers can add a 110-volt outlet when they need a power source for tools, equipment, or accessories away from home.
What Is It Like to Spend Time Inside the Maverick?
Every Maverick uses a four-door crew-cab configuration. There's room for passengers in back, although children will generally find the rear seating more accommodating than taller adults.
Ford includes remote keyless entry even on the base model, along with adjustable front-seat lumbar support. The steering wheel tilts and telescopes and incorporates audio controls. Moving farther up the lineup adds power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and ambient interior lighting.
A 13.2-inch touchscreen is standard across the board and features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. SiriusXM satellite radio, wireless phone charging, and a premium B&O Play audio system are available.
How Far Can You Go on a Gallon of Gas?
Fuel economy is one of the hybrid Maverick's biggest advantages. With front-wheel drive, ratings reach 42 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 39 mpg combined. Adding all-wheel drive lowers ratings slightly to 40 mpg city and 37 mpg combined.
The turbocharged Maverick gets up to 23 mpg city, 33 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined.
