With the 2022 Maverick, Ford delivers a new kind of truck -- a full-hybrid pickup that is fuel-efficient and packed with clever technology and features.

Maverick is a 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.

Its 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder hybrid powertrain delivers 191 horsepower when combined with the electric motor, and 155 lb.-ft. of torque mated to a CVT driving the front wheels.

Maverick offers payload of 1,500 pounds and the volume to carry a standard ATV, plus it has the capability to tow 2,000 pounds -- enough for a pair of personal watercraft or a good-sized pop-up camper trailer.

Those who want more capability can upgrade to a 2.0-liter EcoBoost gas engine delivering 250 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft. of torque with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. Equipped with the optional 4K Tow Package, conventional towing doubles to 4,000 pounds.

FITS -- Ford Integrated Tether System -- is a clever multitasking solution for rear seat passengers. There's a FITS slot at the back of the front console that accommodates different accessories for endless personalization.

Maverick really goes all-out when it comes to functionality with its unique FLEXBED, which is packed with standard features and opportunities to transform the cargo box into a complete maker-space. People can create segmented storage, bike racks, and other DIY solutions by sliding 2x4s or 2x6s into slots stamped into the side of the bed.

Maverick is upright and squared off for space efficiency, but it looks youthful and athletic -- clean, not overdesigned. Maverick is offered at three trim levels - XL, XLT and Lariat. An FX4 package available for all-wheel-drive XLT and Lariat trucks adds more off-road capability with rugged all-terrain tires and suspension tuning, additional underbody protection, and off-road-focused drive modes.
