It can also accommodate up to 1,500 lbs of payload, which you’ll easily load and unload thanks to the FLEXBED® storage system.

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.
