The all-new 2022 Ford Maverick is a new kind of pickup, compact and efficient and packed with features. The Maverick is the truck for people who never knew they wanted a truck.

Starting with an MSRP of $19,995, the all-new Ford Maverick is a compact truck with a unibody design and the first pickup in America with a standard full-hybrid powertrain. It comes as a standard five-passenger, four-door pickup, with a full-hybrid powertrain and a projected EPA-estimated rating of 40 mpg city fuel economy and 500 miles of range on a single tank of gas.
