Flexible Performance Options for Your Driving Needs
The Ford Maverick’s powertrain options make it adaptable to how you drive. The standard 2.5L PowerBoost® hybrid engine provides excellent fuel efficiency of 22 city and 30 highway MPG, while still delivering sufficient power for daily commuting and light hauling. For drivers seeking additional performance, the available 2.0L EcoBoost® engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission in the Tremor and Lobo models offers 250 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft of torque, providing responsive acceleration and confident handling.
Front-wheel drive is standard on the hybrid, making it ideal for city driving and fuel-conscious buyers. In contrast, available all-wheel drive adds traction and stability for tackling more challenging conditions, whether that’s wet roads near Hendersonville or gravel paths in Asheville.
Towing Capability for Work and Recreation
One of the Ford Maverick’s standout features is its towing flexibility. Standard towing capacity reaches up to 2,000 pounds, giving you room for small trailers, boats, or recreational gear. For heavier tasks, the available 4K Tow Package doubles that capacity to 4,000 pounds, allowing drivers in Brevard or Asheville to confidently haul larger equipment or travel trailers.
This combination of towing capability and manageable size makes the Maverick a practical choice for first-time truck owners or anyone who wants a pickup that can handle both daily life and weekend adventures. It strikes a balance between work-ready strength and everyday drivability.
Utility and Cargo Space for Every Task
The 2026 Ford Maverick is designed to make hauling simple. Its single 4'5" long cargo bed provides 33.3 cubic feet of total cargo volume, with a width of 42.6 inches between the wheel wells and an overall width of 53.3 inches. This layout is ideal for carrying tools, sporting equipment, or weekend supplies while remaining easy to park and maneuver in city or suburban environments.
With seating for up to five passengers, the Maverick ensures that you can bring friends or family along on outdoor trips or daily errands around Hendersonville. The combination of a functional bed, roomy cabin, and smart dimensions makes the Ford Maverick a truck that adapts to your lifestyle rather than forcing you to adapt to it.
