Explore the Features and Capabilities of the New Ford Maverick

The Ford Maverick is a compact pickup that is new to the lineup. It has a lot of exciting attributes and features, and the Maverick provides Danbury, CT shoppers with a compact truck that fits a lot of fantastic tech and comfort amenities into a low price point.

Interior and Exterior Design

The Maverick looks great from the outside. The lines and flow are generally similar to Ford's other trucks, but the grille is much more modern, with a beveled and angular surface that is cutting-edge and intriguing. This element of the design creates an immediate impression without compromising on the core needs of the design.

The interior is comfortable and provides Ridgefield drivers with a surprising amount of space for the Maverick's size. The materials and look continue the modern theme, so the overall feel of the Maverick is of a newly crafted model that is similar to its Ford F-Series cousins, but cut from a different cloth.

Performance

There are two drivetrain choices for the Maverick. The base choice is a hybrid, which pairs a four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor for a combined 191 horsepower. There is an upgrade option that turbocharges the four-cylinder, boosting the power to 250 but dropping the hybrid system. This version also offers Brookfield drivers optional four-wheel drive.

The hybrid uses a CVT, while the turbo has an automatic transmission. The lower horsepower of the hybrid model understates just how fast it is, as this drivetrain packs a lot more acceleration than you expect. However, the upgrade is still a bit faster and has the exclusive all-wheel drive upgrade.

Tech and Features

The Maverick has an 8-inch touchscreen with a clear and simple menu system. You can also navigate it with knobs and buttons. It has Wi-Fi hotspot capability, smartphone connectivity, USB ports, Bluetooth® and USB ports at base. That is a generous package, but Newtown shoppers can add in more, like wireless charging or navigation. The Maverick has plenty of attractive features outside of tech, as well, like remote keyless entry and cruise control. Other options allow you to add a moonroof, remote start and more comfort and convenience features.

Safety

The Maverick has strong ratings on its crash tests from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It also comes with a small collection of driver-assist features like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams and a rearview camera. Monroe shoppers can add on some more on the higher trim levels, like adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning, too.

Trims

The Maverick is much simpler than many other trucks. There is only one cab style and one bed length available, and there are three trims. Each of these trim levels comes standard with the hybrid engine but can be upgraded to the turbo engine. On top of that, there is a long list of performance and towing upgrades that are available for any trim.

The base trim is the XL. It comes with an array of standard features, including the Ford Co-Pilot360™ suite of safety features.

The XLT trim has a cargo compartment in the bed and a power tailgate. You can also add on remote start, a moonroof or a luxury package that contains several interior upgrades to enhance your New Milford travels.

The Lariat trim has the options from the lower trims, plus more inclusions like synthetic leather and dual climate zones. It has optional adaptive cruise control and its own exclusive luxury package.
