An oversized truck won’t do the trick when you need a pickup that’s as comfortable handling city traffic and tight parking spaces as it is capable of heading off-road and hauling heavy loads. Enter the aptly named Ford Maverick.
This compact pickup has capabilities that belie its size. To become acquainted with the latest model year of the Maverick, read this review from the Town & Country Ford team. Then, contact us when you’re ready to test it for yourself near Louisville, Shepherdsville, Jeffersontown, and Shively, KY.

Let’s start by addressing the obvious: As a pickup truck, the Ford Maverick has a small footprint. Turns out, that’s a huge benefit for your everyday drives—and your off-road adventures. With some recently added trim levels, it becomes clear why the Maverick can stand tall and proud next to any other pickup.
Are you heading into the city? Narrow streets and alleyways, curb-to-curb traffic, and tight parking spots are no match for the Maverick. Plus, the 360-Degree Camera with split-view display makes it easy to maneuver in confined areas where larger trucks fear to tread.
Even with its compact frame, the Maverick’s crew cab comfortably seats five riders. This gives you and your crew enough room to stretch out and still have space to stow your gear in the various bins and cubbies (including under the rear seat). Power front seats with adjustable lumbar, dual-zone automatic climate control, and other standard and available amenities make every ride a joyride.
Within the Maverick stable are five trim levels, including the most recently added models: the Maverick Lobo and the Maverick TREMOR. Each one displays unique features and distinctive aspects that up the ante in the pickup game:
- Maverick Lobo – This performance trim is differentiated by its lowered height, assertive grille, specially tuned steering, brakes, and shocks, and track-only Lobo Mode.
- Maverick TREMOR – This adventurous trim is ready to head into the rough, thanks to its off-road suspension, lockable rear differential, elevated ground clearance, and trail-focused tech.
Along with trim-specific features and upgrades, each is distinguished by its grille and interior colors and materials. Still, no matter if you choose the core XL, the next-level XLT, the luxurious LARIAT, or one of these latest additions, you’ll enjoy a pickup that’s BUILT FORD TOUGH.®
With two powertrain options and available all-wheel drive, the Ford Maverick’s versatility helps you work smarter, not harder. Its capabilities far exceed expectations, proving once again that great things really do come in small packages.
Even the base engine of the latest Maverick is anything but basic. . .

The hybrid nature of the Ford Maverick means you can enjoy greater fuel economy to the tune of up to an EPA-estimated 42 city/33 hwy MPG. Available all-wheel drive enables you to venture out in all types of road and weather conditions with only a slight decrease in efficiency, yielding an EPA-estimated 40 city MPG.
It would be a big mistake to underestimate the Ford Maverick. Between its flexible bed, supportive tailgate, and payload capacity of 1,500 pounds, you can do even more than you might imagine. Whether you’re loading up gear for a camping weekend, hauling mulch, carting boxes on moving day, or transporting a mountain bike to hit the trails, the Maverick can handle it all.
- FLEXBED® Storage System – This convertible stow-and-go space features 2-tier sidewall pockets, tie-downs, and a 110V outlet. It can be compartmentalized using 2x4 and 2x6 boards.
- Multi-Position Tailgate – As part of the FLEXBED® system, this versatile tailgate can be locked in multiple positions depending on your cargo. It can easily accommodate longer items like 4x8 sheets of plywood and furniture.
The Maverick’s standard towing capacity is 2,000 pounds; adding the optional towing package doubles that to a maximum towing capacity of 4,000 pounds. The available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist (standard on the Lariat and TREMOR trims) make it easy to line up and hitch a small camper, your fishing boat, or a utility trailer.
Connectivity is key when navigating a crowded urban setting or in a remote wooded area. You want to be able to stay in touch and in tune—with others and your surroundings. The Maverick provides the means to remain connected and protected mile after mile.
For the latest model year, Ford has equipped the Maverick with infotainment technologies often found standard only in luxury cars or available with top-of-the-line trims. Among the Maverick’s many standard features are:
- SYNC® 4 with connected navigation
- 13.2-inch touchscreen
- Wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™
- Built-in 5G modem
- Enhanced Voice Recognition
It’s worth noting that the Maverick boasts the largest standard touchscreen in its class. When it comes to standard in-vehicle technologies, the Maverick is large and in charge.
Another area where the Maverick delivers in a big way is the safety department. Its standard Ford Co-Pilot360™ suite of driver-assistance systems includes:
- Pre-Collision Assist
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane-Keeping Aid
- Rear View Camera
- Auto LED High-Beam Headlamps
Thanks to these and many other safety features, you’ll enjoy greater peace of mind whenever you take the wheel.
