What Are the Pricing and Updates for the 2026 Ford Maverick?
The 2025 refresh brought sharper styling, trim updates, and a few key improvements, so there's not much that's new for 2026. Ford keeps pricing steady across the lineup, with the Maverick continuing to deliver the mix of value and versatility that made it so popular.
Here’s a look at estimated pricing by trim for 2026:
- XL: $29,840
- XLT: $32,340
- Lobo Standard: $37,625
- Lariat: $39,785
- Tremor: $42,340
- Lobo High: $43,120
Maverick Powertrain Options That Fit Every Driver
The 2026 Maverick offers two powertrains designed to balance efficiency and performance.
The standard 2.5-liter hybrid generates 191 horsepower through a CVT and front-wheel drive, with available all-wheel drive. For drivers who want a little more oomph, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder cranks out 250 horsepower and pairs with an eight-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive. There is a minor change for the Lobo trim in a seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, which adds a sportier feel and quicker gear changes.
The Mav Is a Small Truck with Big Capability
Don’t let its size fool you—the Maverick can handle serious work. Both powertrains manage up to 1,500 pounds of payload and 2,000 pounds of towing capacity without add-ons. With the available towing package, those numbers jump to 4,000 pounds, giving you enough pull for a small trailer, boat, or camper.
Fuel Economy Remains the Maverick's Major Strength
Official EPA estimates aren’t out yet for the 2026 model, but you can expect numbers similar to 2025. The hybrid should get 42 mpg city, 35 highway, and 38 combined, while the gas-only turbo should average around 22 city, 30 highway, and 25 combined.
Comfort, Storage, and Tech in the 2026 Maverick
Every Maverick comes in crew cab form, so you get full-size access with room for adults in the rear. The base XL trim includes thoughtful touches like remote keyless entry, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and driver’s seat lumbar support. Stepping up to the XLT or Lariat adds premium features like dual-zone climate control, power front seats, and ambient lighting.
The 4.5-foot bed is one of the Maverick’s best features—drop the tailgate, and it can fit 18 sheets of plywood. Ford even built in a 12-volt outlet, plus an optional 110-volt outlet for tools or camping gear.
Every 2026 Maverick includes Ford’s latest infotainment system with a 13.2-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. Optional upgrades include SiriusXM, a wireless charging pad, and a B&O premium audio system that gives the small cabin a big sound.
