2022 Ford Maverick For Sale

For some buyers, the dimensions of a standard full-size pickup truck just don’t make sense. Even if those individuals like what a pickup has to offer, the size of the vehicle simply isn’t practical for their day-to-day needs.

If that sounds like the situation you find yourself in, consider the 2022 Ford Maverick. This compact pickup is fully capable of doing many different kinds of work, yet it won’t take up as much of the road – or use as much fuel – as a bigger truck. To see this model for yourself and to see how it compares to other trucks on the market, come see us at Lafayette Ford right away.

What is the Ford Maverick?

This member of the Ford pickup truck lineup slots in as the smallest of the group. The F-150 is the iconic full-size pickup that has been the most popular vehicle on the roads for decades. The “Super Duty” class of trucks, including the F-250 and F-350, are larger and more powerful. Going down from the F-150 in size, you have the Ranger, and then the Maverick.

A compact pickup truck is appealing for many reasons. It offers the open bed design that marks a pickup, which is endlessly useful for carrying cargo and other hauling tasks. And, even with a compact size, it still offers seating for as many as five, so it’s highly practical. Over the years, compact pickups from various manufacturers have proven to be popular, and the Maverick is continuing that tradition.

Considering Your Power Options

As you explore whether or not a Maverick is right for you, one of the first areas to look at is under the hood. This is a small truck, so it will not deliver the power that comes with a larger vehicle, of course. However, the two powertrain options should not be overlooked for the work they can do and the fun they can offer.

The standard powertrain included with the Maverick is an industry first for a truck – it’s a hybrid design. As you would expect, the hybrid layout of the Maverick offers outstanding fuel economy at roughly 40 MPG in the city. Not only that, but it also delivers a base towing capacity of 2,000 pounds and a standard payload capacity of 1,500 pounds. That’s a lot of capability for a compact truck and its 4.5-foot bed.

If the hybrid version of the Maverick isn’t quite right for you, the optional 2.0L EcoBoost engine may be the better choice. You’ll bump up your horsepower to 250 with that upgrade, and all-wheel drive is available, as well. This is likely to be the preferred configuration for those who want to explore the world beyond the end of the pavement.

A Beautiful Interior

Anyone who hasn’t been inside a pickup truck for a while might be surprised to find just how modern and comfortable they are today. The inside of the Maverick is a beautiful place to spend your time, with nice materials and a thoughtful design throughout. There is also plenty of technology included to make your travels as convenient – and entertaining – as possible.

The look and feel of your truck’s interior is largely determined by which of the three available trim packages you select. The XL, XLT, and Lariat are the three options, in ascending order of features (and cost). Even the base XL comes nicely equipped as a modern vehicle but going up to the popular XLT level adds touches like cruise control, keyless entry, power mirrors, and more.

A Functional Bed Design

While the bed in your Maverick truck will be a little smaller than in an F-150, it can still do a lot for you thanks to the FLEXBED design. This includes a tailgate that can be placed in multiple positions, an available 110V outlet, 10 tiedown points, and more. The open bed is one of the biggest advantages and selling points of a pickup truck, after all, so it only makes sense to get the most out of this space.

The Maverick, along with the Ranger and F-150, is a Ford truck that is certainly worthy of your attention and consideration. It’s not a matter of figuring out which truck is “best”, but rather which one is the best match for what you plan to do. The team at Lafayette Ford is ready and waiting to show you the trucks we have available and set up test drives for the ones that grab your interest. Thank you for stopping by!
