How Much Is the 2027 Ford Maverick?

What Car Shoppers Need to Know

• The 2027 Ford Maverick is a compact pickup truck with a standard hybrid powertrain.
• Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine are available.
• Pricing starts at $29,990 with FWD and $33,385 with AWD (including destination fee).

The 2027 Ford Maverick is one of just two compact pickups you can buy, the other being the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Other than their wildly divergent styling — the Maverick looks like a pickup and the Santa Cruz like a Tucson merged with a first-generation Honda Ridgeline — the major distinction between them is their engines. Both are available with a turbo four-cylinder, but only the Maverick has a standard hybrid powertrain that returns nearly 40 mpg combined.

What’s Changed for 2027?

There are no equipment changes to the Maverick for the new model year, but Ford has reduced the number of available powertrain configurations. For 2026, both the hybrid and EcoBoost turbo four-cylinder engines were available with either FWD or AWD; for 2027, the turbo can only be had with AWD, and only the XLT trim level offers buyers a choice of engines. The XL and Lariat are powered exclusively by the hybrid powertrain, while the Lobo and Tremor come standard with the EcoBoost four.

Juggling Maverick powertrains has become an annual tradition for Ford. The same two engines have been available every year since the Maverick debuted for 2022, but they have regularly traded places as the standard and optional offerings, and AWD has been intermittently available or standard with either. If you’re shopping for a used Maverick and have your heart set on a particular combination of engine and driven wheels, know your selection will likely be limited to only a few model years.

Powertrain Specs and Fuel Economy

The Maverick XL, XLT and Lariat come standard with a hybrid 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine making 191 horsepower and teamed with a continuously variable automatic transmission. FWD is standard, with AWD available for $3,395 on the XL and $2,395 on the XLT and Lariat.

A turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder is optional on the Lariat and standard on the Lobo and Tremor. It makes 250 hp and 280 pounds-feet and comes exclusively with AWD. The EcoBoost — Ford’s branding for turbocharged engines — is paired with an eight-speed automatic in the Tremor and a seven-speed paddle-shifted auto in the Lobo.

Standard or Optional Features

The entry-level Maverick XL is rather basic, with 17-inch steel wheels, black cloth seats and air conditioning. It’s one of the few vehicles available today with manual exterior mirrors — the kind you roll down the window and poke at to adjust. It’s not all punishment and suffering, though, as the XL also includes LED headlights, a tilt/telescoping steering column, 8-inch digital instrument cluster, and 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with six speakers.

The Maverick’s standard safety suite is limited to just forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure steering assist and automatic high beams. Ford Co-Pilot360 is optional on the XL and XLT and standard on the rest of the lineup; it includes blind spot monitors, front and rear cross-traffic alert, emergency steering assist and rear parking sensors.

In addition to the XL’s equipment, the XLT includes 17-inch aluminum wheels, power-adjustable mirrors (no more freezing fingers in the winter!), keyless entry and start, and upgraded cloth upholstery in blue and gray. XLT buyers also get access to more options.

Think of the Maverick Lobo as a sporty compact car in a pickup body. Powered exclusively by the EcoBoost turbo four-cylinder, it squats over a lowered, sport-tuned suspension and features upgraded front brakes, retuned steering and a torque-vectoring rear differential. The Lobo wears a unique front bumper and grille and sports upgraded LED headlights with signature daytime running lights, LED taillights and black 19-inch wheels. Inside, it’s upholstered in black synthetic leather with blue and green accent stitching. In addition to the Co-Pilot360 safety tech, the Lobo also gets a standard power-adjustable driver’s seat.

Lariat means luxury in Ford pickups, and in the Maverick, that translates to brown and blue synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats (power-adjustable for the driver), a heated steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control. Exterior features include 19-inch wheels, heated exterior mirrors and remote start. The Lariat upgrades to Ford’s Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, which adds adaptive cruise control, lane-centering steering assist, blind spot intervention and a 360-degree camera system with front parking sensors.

The Lobo Premium piles all of the Lariat’s comfort features into the Lobo and adds a handful of further upgrades that are optional on the Lariat. These include a moonroof, power-sliding rear window and eight-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Aimed at a different sort of enthusiast, the Tremor is the off-road Maverick. It rides on a lifted suspension with a locking rear differential and 17-inch wheels wearing all-terrain tires. It’xs distinguished by orange accents outside and in, and otherwise gets all of the luxury features from the Lariat and Lobo Premium.

Versus the Competition

As mentioned above, the Maverick’s only direct rival is the Hyundai Santa Cruz. The pair are less expensive than mid-size competition (many of which use rear-wheel drive as their base driveline) but can’t tow as much. The Maverick can tow up to 4,000 pounds and the Santa Cruz 5,000 when properly equipped, while many mid-size trucks can tug upwards of 7,000 pounds. All figures in the table below pertain to base trim levels and configurations.
