For those who are looking for a powerful hybrid truck with a high payload capacity and sedan-esque fuel efficiency, the 2023 Ford Maverick is finally here. While rival trucks may stop at heavy load capacity and powerful engines, Ford took care to go above and beyond with a comfortable cabin and smooth handling you won’t find elsewhere. There’s no shortage of things to love about this newest hybrid Ford, so let’s dive into some of the most exciting and desirable features.
3 Things You Should Know About the 2023 Ford Maverick in Mabank, TX
1. It Has a Refined Drive
The hybrid Maverick truck has all kinds of tricks up its sleeve (and under its hood) that produce a balanced drive with ample power and control. The suspension has been tweaked for another inch of ground clearance and the transmission has an upgraded cooling system. Both of these make it an off-road champion. The rear slip differential has also been refined with a dual-clutch system that lets you toggle between locked/unlocked for various terrains.
The standard engine combines a powerful electric motor with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder one. This grants an impressive horsepower of 191 that pairs nicely with the continuously variable automatic transmission. You have the option to supercharge your Maverick with the available 2.0-liter four-cylinder eight-speed transmission engine that produces a whopping 250 horses. Drivers find themselves impressed with the smooth traveling despite the immense cargo weight capacity.
2. It Can Carry All Your Cargo (and Then Some)
All Maverick trims are pre-equipped to easily handle 1,500 pounds of cargo weight and 2,000 pounds represent the maximum trailering capacity. There is an additional towing package you can get that buffs up the Maverick so it can pull an impressive 4,000 pounds behind it. The towing package comes with a seven-pin wiring connector, a hitch receiver, and a more beefy cooling system in the powertrain.
3. Customization Is Easy With the Available Packages
In addition to the towing package, there are several feature bundles you can add to make the Maverick uniquely yours. The Lariat Luxury pack includes implemented power outlets, heated seats and steering wheel, upgraded infotainment and sound system, and evasive steering/adaptive cruise control safety features. The FX4 Offroading pack includes all-wheel drive with hardy all-terrain tires, skid plates, implemented front tow hooks, and the Hill Descent Control system.
Our favorite package is the Ford Co-Pilot360 pack, which gives you a host of safety features. The Blind-Spot Monitoring system keeps you aware of any vehicles or objects in your blind zones and helps you change lanes safely. The Lane-Keep Assist program will help you by gently steering you back to the center of your lane if it senses unintentional drifting over the road lines.
