The Best Truck Ford Maverick Expert Review @ford

Ford is eager to point out the Maverick is the first pickup in America with a standard hybrid powertrain. The base truck will feature a hybrid setup—a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and electric motor that combine for an output of 191 hp and 155 lb-ft of torque. Pairing it with a CVT automatic and front-wheel drive, Ford targeted 40 mpg city and 500 miles of range—figures it actually exceeded with the Maverick's official EPA rating of 42 mpg city, 33 mpg highway. That makes it the most fuel efficient pickup on sale. It's certainly not the quickest, though; in our testing 0-60 mph acceleration took 7.6 seconds. Although you can't get a hybrid AWD Maverick for 2022, we can safely assume that option is on the way. There's also the possibility for a future electric variant.

That said, if you're in need of a bit more power and capability, Ford has you covered. The Maverick can also be ordered with a 2.0-liter turbo I-4 kicking out 250 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque, and that powertrain works with an eight-speed automatic for FWD or available AWD. We tested an AWD FX4 model with this engine accelerating to 60 mph in 7.0 seconds. Fuel economy as rated by the EPA is 23/30 mpg with FWD, and 22/29 with AWD.
