The compact pickup of the Blue Oval looks very rugged and square-jawed.
One image of the 2022 Ford Maverick pickup was allegedly leaked from the company’s Hermosillo assembly plant. The first image was posted on the forum Maverick Truck Club.

It is reportedly based upon the Bronco Sports small SUV.

This lone, grainy photo is not official but it suggests that Ford is closer to confirming the Maverick rumor through an actual reveal. The Maverick should be equipped with the turbocharged 1.5-liter Inline-Three engine as the Bronco Sports. There is also an option for a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo. For those outdoorsy people who have to carry a mountain bike, camping gear or other equipment on weekends, the former should suffice. The latter would be more suitable for those who plan to do light off-roading and fill up the bed with dense gardening equipment.
The 2022 Ford Maverick should be available in its entirety sometime this spring. Consumer deliveries will begin by the end. Check out the Maverick, and all the other new cars, in our list future cars 2021-2025.
