Until recently, Poteau drivers who wanted a compact pickup truck from the Ford Motor Company had to wait more than a decade for a new model. The Ford Ranger did not fill this gap because it returned to production as a midsize truck, but now you have the new Ford Maverick, a compact model that combines the utility of a truck bed with the comfort of a crossover.
Performance
The new Ford Maverick is described as a lifestyle compact truck or an adventure vehicle; it offers a four-door cabin with a 4.5-foot bed and a cargo capacity of 33.3 cubic feet. You can choose two powertrains for maximum fuel efficiency: a 2.0-liter EcoBoost or a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle hybrid. If you go with the EcoBoost engine, you get all-wheel-drive plus 250 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, which are impressive specs for a compact truck built on a lightweight chassis platform. With the 2.5-liter hybrid Maverick, you get a maximum fuel economy of 40 MPGe, which translates into 500 miles with a full tank.
You can get a lot done in Poteau with the new Ford Maverick, designed to maximize versatility. While the focus on marketing has been to explore the great outdoors, the Maverick also allows you to haul supplies for a home improvement project, drive it as a daily commuter vehicle, go on grocery runs, load it with bikes, and more. The towing capacity can expand to 4,000 pounds with the EcoBoost powertrain and the 4K trailering system.
Drivers interested in off-road driving performance should check out the Tremor and FX4 packages available for the new Ford Maverick. The former package tunes the suspension and boosts the ground clearance; the latter includes tow hooks, all-terrain tires, skid plates, and an upgraded drive-select system with electronic traction control.
