2026 Ford Maverick
2026 Ford
Maverick
When Ford launched the Maverick for model year 2022, it not only resurrected a beloved name from its history but also gave new life to a forgotten segment of the truck market. Today, the Maverick stakes claim to being the least expensive new pickup in the U.S. and Ford's entry-level model for its entire lineup. Following 2025’s significant refresh, the automaker has made a powertrain change for 2026 by bringing back a front-wheel-drive edition with the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. Performance and affordability go hand in hand: the Maverick Hybrid tops its class fuel economy by achieving up to 42 miles per gallon.
