Ford Unveils All-New Maverick – The First Standard Full-Hybrid Pickup Truck in America

Ford has taken the cover off the all-new 2022 Maverick, a standard five-passenger, four-door pickup, with a full-hybrid powertrain and a projected EPA-estimated rating of 40 mpg city fuel economy and 500 miles of range on a single tank of gas. It comes with a starting MSRP of $19,995.

It offers standard payload of 1,500 pounds and the volume to carry a standard all-terrain vehicle (ATV), plus it has the capability to tow 2,000 pounds.

Maverick features smart technology, including Ford Co-Pilot360 technology includes standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and Automatic High Beam Headlamps. Available options include Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Centering and Evasive Steering Assist.

The model’s interior offers a standard 8-inch centre touch screen features Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility so customers can have the experience they’re used to with their phones.

Maverick has standard FordPass Connect with embedded modem and Wi-Fi for up to 10 devices, while standard FordPass makes it easy to find the truck, check fuel level, lock and unlock the doors, and start or turn off the vehicle – all from your phone.

Todd Eckert, Ford truck group marketing manager, says: “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. 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.”

“One thing that’s non-negotiable is that Maverick is Built Ford Tough,” adds Chris Mazur, a third-generation Ford employee who led development of the all-new pickup as chief engineer. “Our engineers were unrelenting, putting it through a battery of vicious on-road, off-road, environmental and simulated customer use testing until we were satisfied. Ford trucks are Ford trucks – through and through.”
