Ford has announced an all-new hybrid pickup truck with a starting MSRP of under $20,000, further defying everyone’s expectations. The 2022 Ford Maverick is a completely new compact pickup truck that offers a full-hybrid powertrain as standard and will soon be available at Canby Ford located near Portland, OR. The targeted EPA-estimated fuel economy should be around 40 mpg city, and up to 500 miles of range on a single tank of gas means it will have better fuel-economy efficiency than many vehicles in the compact sedan segment. 

For those who may be wondering if this new compact truck can actually handle actual pickup duties, however, the bed can handle a standard payload of up to 1,500 pounds and enough space to hold items like a standard-sized ATV. The Maverick also offers a towing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds which opens up plenty of options for additional toys or a decent-sized pop-up camper. 

For those that love the size of the compact Maverick, but need even more capability and options, ask the team at Canby Ford about upgrading to the 2.0-liter EcoBoost® gas engine delivering 250 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft. of torque. The optional engine upgrade comes with additional options like all-wheel drive or the optional 4K Tow Package. 

Despite its surprisingly low MSRP, the Maverick offers a ton of great standard features and tech including Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®, both of which pair nicely with the standard 8-inch center touch screen. The Maverick is also equipped with standard FordPass™ which allows you to find the truck, check the fuel level, lock and unlock the doors, and start or turn off the vehicle – all from your phone. When on the road FordPass™ allows passengers to connect to onboard Wi-Fi. 

“One thing that’s non-negotiable is that Maverick is Built Ford Tough,” said Chris Mazur, a third-generation Ford employee who led the development of the all-new pickup as chief engineer. “Our engineers were unrelenting, putting it through a battery of vicious on-road, off-road, environmental, and simulated customer use testing until we were satisfied. Ford trucks are Ford trucks – through and through.”
