The 2026 Ford Maverick XLT pairs a 2.5L I-4 hybrid with all-wheel drive and a CVT, and that combination makes it a quick, eager small truck around town. A 2.91 axle ratio sits in the driveline, and AWD sends power to the pavement when you lean on the throttle out of a corner or a wet on-ramp. You still get 40 city and 34 highway MPG, so the fun does not cost you at the pump.
The chassis is where this truck earns its keep for people who like to drive. Four-wheel independent suspension and both front and rear anti-roll bars keep the body flat when you turn in. Speed-sensing steering firms up as you go faster, and four-wheel disc brakes with brake assist give you confident stopping power. Traction control and electronic stability control back you up on slick roads. The 17-inch carbonized gray painted aluminum wheels fill the arches, and the rear step bumper and body-color bumpers finish the look.
Inside, the unique cloth front bucket seats hold you in place, and the tilt and telescoping steering wheel lets you set up your driving position just right. Audio controls sit on the wheel. SYNC 4 runs the screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and SiriusXM with 360L plays through six speakers. The Ford Connectivity Package comes with a 5G modem and one year included. Safety tech includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Intersection Assist, a lane-keeping system, auto high beams, and a rear-view camera.
