Impressive Performance and Towing Capability

The 2022 Ford Maverick is an affordable compact pickup truck with impressive payload and towing capability thanks to its fuel-efficient powertrain options. Ford equips the base model with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with a mild hybrid system. This powertrain delivers 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque, along with an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 42/33 MPG. This engine can tow up to 2,000 pounds.

The second powertrain is the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engine that delivers 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Buyers can choose this powertrain with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The EPA-estimated fuel economy on the two drivelines is 23/30 and 22/29 MPG respectively. The standard Ford Maverick truck towing capacity with the EcoBoost engine is 2,000 pounds whether equipped with front-wheel or all-wheel drive.

Three Rugged Trim Choices

Along with a pair of powertrain choices, the Maverick comes in three rugged and utilitarian trims. All Maverick models have a 4-foot 6-inch truck bed with a payload capacity of 1,500 pounds. On the inside, all models have seating for five with cloth seats, plenty of headroom, and several available features. Standard infotainment features on the Maverick include an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, a Wi-Fi hotspot, two USB ports, and six speakers.

The XL trim is the base trim. Buyers can add a sliding rear window, a power moonroof, and the Ford Co-Pilot360 package with additional safety features. The mid-range trim is the XLT, and it comes with a keyless entry, a power-locking tailgate, and 17-inch wheels. Ford offers the Lariat as the top trim. It comes with 18-inch aluminum wheels, a spray-in bed liner, and an in-bed lining.

The Convenience of a Higher Towing Capability

Drivers who need a higher towing capacity can add the 4K Tow Package, but only on the Maverick trims with all-wheel drive and the EcoBoost engine. The package includes a trailer hitch receiver, a 7-pin wiring harness, an integrated trailer brake controller, and engine upgrades that include an external transmission oil cooler and a larger radiator.

Having a higher towing capacity on a truck like the Ford Maverick gives drivers the ability to do more with their affordable compact truck. A 4000-pound towing capacity opens up options to tow gooseneck trailers, boat trailers up to 22 feet, most single-axle utility trailers, and horse trailers that carry two horses around Pineville, Missouri.
