Fuel efficiency and spirited performance come together across both 2026 Ford Maverick engine options. The standard 2.5L inline four-cylinder (I4) hybrid engine delivers 184 combined horsepower through an electric continuously variable transmission (eCVT). Opting for the available 2.0L EcoBoost® I4 engine raises output to 250 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic or a seven-speed quick shift transmission in the street-tuned Maverick Lobo™. When properly equipped with the available 4K Tow Package, the Maverick tows up to 4,000 pounds.
Five drive modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, Tow/Haul, and Slippery) let you match the truck’s behavior to the conditions, and the Lobo adds an exclusive track-only mode. Trails call for the Maverick Tremor®, which pairs an advanced four-wheel drive (4WD) system with raised ground clearance, an electronic-locking rear differential, and Trail Control™ with Trail One-Pedal Drive.
