The EcoBoost is a bit more expensive than the hybrid version at 40 mpg.
Ford unveiled the Maverick earlier in the summer. One of its most notable features was its 40-miles per gallon highway rating. This is possible with the hybrid powertrain. However, fuel economy details regarding the other engine remain elusive. A new MaverickTruckClub.com post reveals a window sticker of a 2022 Maverick equipped with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost and the 4,000-pound (1,814-kilogram) tow package that shows its fuel economy rating. The document states that the Maverick equipped with an upgraded engine and tow package will achieve 22 mpg in cities and 29 highway.
These are not yet EPA-certified, so they may change as Maverick production starts later in the year. According to the poster, these look similar to Ford’s targets. These are still solid numbers for the new truck, even in its most capable configuration. EcoBoost Mavericks without the Tow Package may also break the 30-mpg highway limit.
The entry-level Maverick is no slouch. can tow up to 2,000 lbs (907kgs). This is enough to transport a pair or small tent trailer. The Maverick’s 1,500-lb (680 kg) payload rating makes it a tempting choice. Ford’s Maverick truck is a combination of affordability and practicality, making it one of the most durable in its lineup for over a decade. Ford has received approximately 80,000 reservations so far for the compact pickup. It is expected to be one of the most affordable and most affordable hybrids on the market. Maverick production will begin in the fall. However, the coronavirus pandemic and ongoing chip shortage mean that new vehicle production is not optimal.
