Key Specifications of the 2026 Ford Maverick
What are the Engine Options Available on the Ford Maverick?
There are two engines available for the Ford Maverick across different trim levels: the 2.5L PowerBoost full-hybrid engine and the 2.0L EcoBoost turbocharged inline-four engine. Both offer drivers the option to prioritize economical driving and standard responsiveness for higher power output.
What is the Towing and Payload Capacity of the Ford Maverick?
The Maverick’s towing capacity varies depending on the engine and configuration. Models equipped with the hybrid powertrain or the EcoBoost engine typically offer a base towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. However, Ford’s available Max Trailer Tow Package significantly boosts this capability to a maximum of 4,000 pounds on select trims like the XL, XLT, and Lariat. This package includes enhancements such as:
- Class III 2-inch trailer hitch receiver
- Integrated trailer brake controller
- Upgraded cooling systems to maintain performance during heavy towing.
For buyers who need to haul trailers, boats, or utility equipment, this package transforms the Maverick into a genuinely capable compact truck.
Similar to towing capacity, payload is dependent on engine and trim level. Hybrid engines carry 1,500 pounds. The Lobo and Tremor trims, with the EcoBoost engine, all-wheel drive, and specialized suspension tuning, have 1,045 to 1,140 pounds.
