The Impressive Stat Sheet

When properly equipped, the Ford Maverick can tow up to 4,000 lbs, a job made even easier by available technology like Prio Trailer Backup Assist® and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™. It can also accommodate up to 1,500 lbs of payload, which you’ll easily load and unload thanks to the FLEXBED® storage system. This truck even handles tough off-roading work with up to 9.4 inches of ground clearance and the available Trail Control™ with Trail 1-Pedal Drive.

Where the 2026 Ford Maverick Gets its Strength

Equipped with an available 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine, a seven-speed quick-shift transmission, and available 4WD, no task is too big for the Ford Maverick. If you plan to use your truck to consistently tow heavy loads, you should upgrade to the 4K Towing Package. This suite includes a Class III trailer hitch receiver with a four- and seven-pin connector, plus a trailer brake controller and an enhanced cooling system. It’ll even give you peace of mind every time you tow with Trailer Sway Control, which adjusts the brakes if your trailer moves side-to-side.
