2024 Ford Maverick REVIEW | 2024 Ford Maverick OVERVIEW |


The 2024 Maverick is at the epicentre of this resurgence of compact pickups. It enters the Ford pickup truck lineup below the mid-size Ranger using the mechanical foundation of the Escape crossover. It may not have been constructed on a truck base like the F-150 and Ranger, but it still has a strong payload and towing capacity. Front-wheel drive and a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder are standard, but all-wheel drive and a fuel-efficient hybrid drivetrain are also available. When correctly equipped, the Maverick can carry up to 1500 pounds of cargo in its small bed and tow up to 4000 pounds. Its well-designed interior and wide list of standard features give it a more premium appearance than its low price would imply. However, the base XL trim is fairly sparse and is best used for fleet and job site activity. Overall, the Maverick is a tiny pickup truck that is fascinating and incredibly useful. In the years to come, there will undoubtedly be more compact pickup trucks on the market, but for the time being, the Maverick only competes with the more expensive Hyundai Santa Cruz in a class of two vehicles.
