The 2027 Ford Maverick continues to blur the line between a truck built for projects and a vehicle you can comfortably use for everyday transportation. Find out what you should expect in this Ford Maverick guide for 2027.
Key Takeaways
- Ford keeps the recently updated Maverick largely business as usual for 2027. In short, there are no new changes.
- The standard 191-horsepower hybrid is available with front- or all-wheel drive.
- Every Maverick can carry up to 1,500 pounds of payload and tow at least 2,000 pounds.
What Did Ford Keep the Same in the Maverick for 2027?
Basically everything, since the Maverick received refreshed styling for 2025, followed by a smaller collection of refinements in 2026. This year it retains those changes without adding more.
How Do the Maverick's Two Engines Compare?
The Mav's standard powertrain combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor for 191 ponies and pairs with a CVT. Ford offers the hybrid with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive.
Buyers interested in more power can select a 250-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder instead. An eight-speed automatic pairs with this engine. The XL combines its turbo engine with front-wheel drive. On trims above it, this engine pairs with all-wheel drive.
How Much Can You Haul or Pull With a Maverick?
For a pickup this size, the numbers give owners plenty to work with. Payload capacity is 1,500 pounds. Max standard towing capacity is 2,000 pounds, but an available Tow Package raises that limit to 4,000 pounds.
Is the Bed on the Maverick Big Enough for Large Jobs?
It sure is! Car and Driver reports that it fits up to 18 sheets of three-quarter-inch plywood without positioning them diagonally. Ford includes a 12-volt outlet in the bed, while a 110-volt outlet is available for owners who want to plug in tools or other equipment.
What Are the Maverick's Cabin Features?
Every Maverick has four doors and a second-row seat, with space that's more accommodating for children than taller adult passengers. Useful standard features include remote keyless entry and adjustable lumbar support for the front seats. Drivers also get a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with integrated audio controls. Available upgrades add amenities such as power-adjustable front seating, dual-zone automatic climate control, and ambient cabin lighting.
Ford doesn't reserve the largest infotainment display for expensive trims. A 13.2-inch touchscreen is standard throughout, as are wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. SiriusXM wireless smartphone charging and a premium B&O Play audio system are optional.
Which Maverick Model Is the Most Efficient?
The front-wheel-drive hybrid takes the lead with ratings of 42 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 39 mpg combined. Buyers can add all-wheel drive without giving up much efficiency. That configuration is rated at up to 40 mpg city and 37 mpg combined.
With the 250-horsepower turbocharged engine, estimates reach 23 mpg in the city, 33 mpg on the highway, and 26 mpg combined.
Will the Maverick Find a Home in Your Driveway?
Numbers can tell you how much a compact SUV can tow or how little fuel it uses, but they can't tell you how it feels from behind the wheel. So, stop into Jarrett Gordon Ford in Davenport and experience the 2027 Ford Maverick for yourself!
