The Maverick is a four-door compact pickup truck. It uses a modified version of Ford’s unibody C2 platform, which underpins both the Bronco Sport and Escape crossovers. Ford could have gone either way with the marketing — the Maverick straddles the line between crossover and truck — but the brand has embraced it as part of the “Built Ford Tough” truck family.
The Maverick comes with two engines: a 191-hp 2.5-liter inline-four hybrid (front-wheel-drive only) and a 250-hp 2.0-liter inline-four (FWD or all-wheel-drive). The former mates with a CVT, while Ford paired the latter with an eight-speed automatic.
