If you’ve been watching the Ford Maverick’s moves, you probably know it’s one of the smartest little trucks on the road, and 2026 isn’t going to mess with that formula. Yes, you’ll have to hang tight a little longer for the next model year, but it looks like Ford’s just letting the dust settle after last year’s big refresh. Let's break down the latest updates to the 2026 Ford Maverick pickup!
Key Takeaways
- Expect pricing to land between $30K and $44K depending on the trim.
- No major updates coming for 2026 after the 2025 refresh.
- You’ll see the 2026 Maverick on dealer lots early next year.
What’s New (or Not) for 2026
After all the style updates that hit for 2025, Ford’s not rolling out anything major for the 2026 Maverick. That means pricing and trims should stay about the same.
Estimated pricing as of June 30, 2025:
- XL: $30,000
- XLT: $33,000
- Lobo Standard: $38,000
- Lariat: $41,000
- Tremor: $43,000
- Lobo High: $44,000
Powertrains That Fit How You Drive
The Maverick gives you two solid choices under the hood. First, there’s the 2.5-liter hybrid setup that delivers a combined 191 horsepower. It pairs with a CVT and comes standard with front-wheel drive, but you can bump up to all-wheel drive if you need it.
If you’re leaning more toward power, go for the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. It pushes out 250 horsepower and comes with an eight-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive. The Lobo trim shakes things up a bit with a seven-speed transmission, paddle shifters, and standard all-wheel drive right out of the gate.
Just because the Maverick is small doesn’t mean it’s not ready to haul. Both hybrid and gas-only models can carry up to 1,500 pounds and tow 2,000 pounds without upgrades. Want to max that out? Add the tow package, and you’ll get up to 4,000 pounds of towing capacity.
Fuel Efficiency: No Surprises Expected
The 2026 EPA numbers haven’t landed yet, but based on last year, here’s what you can expect:
- Hybrid: 42 mpg city/35 highway/38 combined
- Gas-only: 22 mpg city/30 highway/25 combined
A Practical But Comfortable Interior
Every 2026 Maverick is a crew cab with four doors and usable rear seats. Even base models give you solid features like remote keyless entry, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with controls for audio, and front-seat lumbar support. Higher trims like the XLT and Lariat add in dual-zone climate, power front seats, and ambient lighting for a little extra comfort.
The truck's 4.5-foot bed is no slouch either—it fits 18 sheets of plywood with the tailgate down, and you’ve got a standard 12V outlet plus an optional 110V if you need to plug in gear or gadgets.
Ford doesn’t hold back when it comes to tech. Every Maverick gets a 13.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. If you want even more tech, you can upgrade to SiriusXM, a wireless charger, and a premium B&O sound system.
When Can You Get the New Maverick?
The new Maverick makes its debut at dealerships early next year. Whether you want the fuel-sipping hybrid, the turbo punch, or just a compact truck that gets the job done, the wait looks like it’ll be worth it. Contact us today for more information!
