The pickup truck market has spent decades convincing buyers that more size is always the answer. Then the Ford Maverick® arrived and challenged that thinking. The result? One of the most popular trucks on the road today. For drivers in Eveleth, MN, the 2026 Ford Maverick® offers something many full-size pickups can't: genuine truck capability wrapped in a package that's easy to live with every day. It's practical, efficient, versatile, and surprisingly capable when work needs to get done. Two Powertrains, One Smart Approach The 2026 Ford Maverick® gives buyers a choice of powertrains designed around different priorities. The standard 2.5L Hybrid powertrain delivers impressive efficiency while maintaining the utility truck buyers expect. For those wanting additional performance, the available 2.0L EcoBoost® engine provides stronger acceleration and enhanced towing capability. When properly equipped with the available 4K Tow Package, the Maverick® can tow up to 4,000 lbs. Payload capacity reaches up to 1,500 lbs., making it more than capable of handling home improvement supplies, recreational equipment, and everyday work duties. It's proof that capability doesn't have to come with a full-size footprint. more A Bed Designed to Work Hard The Maverick® may be compact, but its cargo box is designed with real-world usability in mind. The standard FLEXBED® system provides approximately 33.3 cubic feet of cargo volume and includes multiple tie-down points, available storage solutions, and customizable features that allow owners to tailor the bed to their needs. If you're hauling lumber, camping equipment, tools, bicycles, or weekend project materials, the Maverick® offers flexibility that many larger trucks struggle to match. For many Minnesota drivers, that's exactly the right amount of truck. Technology That Fits Modern Life Inside the cabin, the Maverick® feels much more sophisticated than compact trucks of the past. A standard 13.2-inch touchscreen serves as the centerpiece of the interior, providing access to navigation, entertainment, connectivity, and vehicle settings. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility come standard, making smartphone integration simple and intuitive. Available Ford Co-Pilot360® technologies add another layer of confidence through features designed to support driver awareness and convenience. The Maverick® demonstrates that practical doesn't have to mean basic. Sized for Everyday Minnesota Driving One of the truck's biggest advantages is something that doesn't appear on a specification sheet. Its manageable size makes parking easier, navigating tight spaces less stressful, and daily driving considerably more enjoyable than many larger pickups. Yet it still provides four full doors, comfortable seating, and the utility buyers expect from a truck. That balance is a major reason so many drivers throughout Eveleth, Virginia, Hibbing, and the Iron Range continue to take a closer look at the Maverick®. Recognition That Reinforces Its Reputation The Maverick® hasn't earned attention solely from shoppers. Industry experts have consistently praised the truck's innovative design and practical approach to capability. Awards such as North American Truck of the Year and MotorTrend Truck of the Year helped establish the Maverick® as one of the most important truck introductions of the decade.

The 2023 Ford Maverick is a unique pickup that combines versatility and comfort in a compact design. Its smaller size gives it an advantage over other trucks, as it can easily maneuver in small spaces, and its tech features are sure to impress. With excitement growing over its recent release, here's a look at what you can expect to find in this rugged yet stylish pickup. more Performance With two engines to choose from, a gas and a hybrid option, the 2023 Maverick offers impressive performance with variable horsepower. The gas engine is a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter that pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the hybrid is a 191-horsepower 2.5-liter that gets an estimated 500 miles of combined driving range. For off-road excursions, Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is available, which automatically optimizes traction when detecting terrain changes. Towing a trailer or hauling cargo is also simple with this truck, thanks to its 4,000-pound maximum towing capacity and 1,500-pound payload rating. Design Many stylish amenities are available for the Maverick's spacious cabin, from Desert Brown ActiveX-trimmed seats to a Navy Pier-themed interior. You can also opt for an eight-way power driver's seat and six-way power passenger seats, which come standard with the Lariat trim. Outside the truck, you can stylize the exterior to your needs, such as by adding 18-inch machined aluminum wheels, steel skid plates, tow hooks, or all-terrain tires. With the FLEXBED option, you can extend the length of the bed when you need extra space for things, and the tailgate has a multi-position function that allows you to keep it halfway open if you need to. Technology As for technology, this pickup comes with the innovative SYNC infotainment system, which gives you hands-free control over music, videos, and other media while allowing you to connect your smartphone to the system through a wireless Bluetooth connection. If music is your passion, you'll love the premium eight-speaker B&O sound system, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot is also available for anyone who needs to access the Internet while out on the road. Safety The Maverick's safety features use advanced technology to avoid collisions while making every drive less stressful. Take the Adaptive Cruise Control feature for instance, which has a Stop-and-Go function to keep the truck at a specific distance from other vehicles on the road while also keeping you centered within your lane. When driving off-road or down steep slopes, Hill Descent Control limits the vehicle's speed so you can maintain control at all times, while BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert can warn you on highways when other vehicles are getting too close to yours, including those that are crossing your lane from behind. The 2023 Maverick offers a one-of-a-kind design alongside strong performance and stunning technology inside and out.
