2026 Ford Maverick

NEW 2026 FORD MAVERICK XLT HYBRID FWD A pickup that gets an EPA-estimated 42 MPG in the city changes what a truck can be used for. This new 2026 Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid FWD gives you a real truck bed, a comfortable four-door cabin, and outstanding everyday efficiency in a size that is easy to park, easy to drive, and easy to live with around Tampa Bay. Velocity Blue gives this Maverick a bright, energetic look, while the Navy Pier and Aspen Gray interior keeps the cabin modern and inviting. The XLT trim adds the comfort and convenience most drivers want without making the truck feel oversized, overcomplicated, or expensive to operate. The 2.5L hybrid engine pairs with a power-split electric CVT for smooth, quiet acceleration and impressive fuel economy. EPA estimates come in at 42 MPG city, 35 MPG highway, and 38 MPG combined. That makes this Maverick a strong choice for daily commutes through Wesley Chapel, New Tampa, Lutz, and Tampa, especially for drivers who want useful truck capability without the fuel expense of a traditional full-size pickup. The FLEXBED Storage System is designed to make the most of the Maverick's compact bed. Cargo-box tie-down hooks, enclosed bed storage, a power tailgate lock, and a trailer tow hitch give you practical options for tools, coolers, bicycles, landscaping supplies, home projects, or lightweight recreational equipment. A conventional spare tire is also included for added peace of mind on longer drives. The Maverick's smaller footprint is a major advantage in real-world use. It fits naturally into garages, driveways, and standard parking spaces, yet the four-door cab still provides seating for passengers and useful interior storage. The second-row bench flips up to reveal hidden under-seat storage, giving you a secure place for bags, emergency gear, work items, or anything you want kept out of sight. Inside, unique cloth bucket seats and the Navy Pier and Aspen Gray color combination create a cabin that feels more finished than the typical entry-level work truck. Intelligent Access with push-button start, cruise control, power windows and locks, dual USB ports, 12-volt power points, air conditioning, and an 8-inch digital cluster display support comfortable everyday driving. A large 13.2-inch center display with SYNC 4 keeps compatible smartphone features, entertainment, communication, and vehicle settings easy to reach. Selectable drive modes allow you to adjust the truck's response for different conditions, while the rotary gear selector keeps the center area clean and uncluttered. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, a rearview camera, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, electric power-assisted steering, tire-pressure monitoring, Safety Canopy airbags, a perimeter alarm, and LATCH child-seat anchors add confidence for commuting, errands, and family use. FordPass Connect and the Ford app provide supported features such as remote start, remote lock and unlock, vehicle health information
