Overview
Pros
- Low Starting Price: With base pricing coming in at less than $35,000, the Ford Maverick is a viable option for budget-minded consumers seeking a reliable, fuel-efficient truck. Granted, the Ford Maverick is a bit lackluster in some areas, including comfort and steering, but the hybrid model and reliable performance, combined with a lower price point make it a worthy contender.
- Fuel Efficiency: The hybrid engine offers exceptional fuel economy, making it an attractive choice for eco-conscious, fuel-conscious consumers.
- Turbocharged Engine Option: The turbocharged engine option is a nice plus. The engine delivers 238 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque.
Cons
- Lackluster Steering: Where other trucks in this category prioritize smooth steering and handling, the Ford Maverick has more of a retro feeling to its steering, which isn’t a good thing. It handles a little rougher, and the steering feels somewhat disconnected from the road.
- Below Average Comfort: Overall, the Ford Maverick could do better where passenger comfort is concerned. The ride is choppier than you’ll find with other compact or midsize trucks. The seating is mid-range for comfort, and legroom could be improved.
- Limited Towing Capacity: The Ford Maverick is considered a compact pickup truck, so it makes sense that the towing capacity isn’t as robust as some of its competitors. Still, it’s worth noting that this truck offers a towing capacity of only 1,814 kg braked and 907 kg unbraked.
