New Ford Maverick Spy Shots Reveal the Base FWD Model

This is the entry-level, basic version of the pickup.

Ford Maverick will come in many trim levels. These spy shots show the entry-level Ford Maverick, with a photo that proves it is front-wheel-drive.

The front bumpers of this Maverick are made from unpainted plastic and have halogen headlights. It is equipped with steel wheels and very narrow tires. The sliding rear window that was used in other development vehicles is missing from this model’s back.

The shot shows a closeup view of the rear bumper. There is no indication of a differential. This means that this Maverick is front-drive. The rear suspension has a twist-beam design. It is interesting to note the exhaust routing because the section just past the muffler curves upward and appears to be pushing the gases into the bumper.

According to reports, the entry-level Maverick will start at $20,000. These photos show that buyers are buying a basic vehicle for a low price. This layout may not be ideal for all consumers but it might be the best option for businesses that need a basic truck for their general tasks. This setup may also be available with all-wheel drive, but it is not known if this would be possible.

The Maverick rides on the exact same platform as the Bronco Sport, and Escape. According to reports, the Maverick also gets their engines. This means that buyers will likely be able get either a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder producing 180 horsepower (134 kilowatts), and 177 poundfeet (242 Newton-meters), or a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder producing 250 hp (373 kW) and 273 lb-ft (373Nm) of torque. The hybrid version might be available.

According to a rumor, the Maverick will begin production in July. They could be available in dealerships by late summer or early autumn if this rumor is true. They are manufactured at Ford’s Hermosillo factory, Mexico.
