From Then to Now: Explore the Maverick's History
Five years after the premiere of Ford's iconic Mustang, the Maverick joined the lineup as a compact car first released in April 1969. The initial design featured an elongated hood and front end with a small deck, or trunk lid. The Ford Maverick also sported a super cool fastback roof. In 1970, a muscled-up model of the Maverick debuted. The Maverick Grabber lasted five years and featured a spoiler and exclusive graphics. Under the dual dome hood sat a 4.9-liter V8 capable of 210 horsepower. In 1971, Ford added a four-door model of the Maverick. Ford discontinued the Maverick in 1977.
Even though the 2022 Ford Maverick's bed and cab come as a single unit, the Ford truck looks sharp. The Maverick has a variety of available options and plenty of convenience features with its base level. All Ford enthusiasts in and around Holdenville can contact or visit Seminole Ford for information on reserving your new Ford Maverick.
New Ford Maverick Offers Ambitious Performance
Your new Maverick comes equipped with one of two engine choices. The standard engine is a 2.5-liter, fully-hybrid four-cylinder capable of up to 191 horsepower. The first-ever fully-hybrid American pickup truck features a continually variable transmission for smooth and seamless shifting. With the hybrid motor, Ford projects an estimated 40 miles per gallon while driving in the city and around Wewoka.
The alternative engine choice is a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder with the same transmission. This engine option offers a bit more power, delivering 250 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. Both powertrains in the Maverick lineup will provide Prague drivers with a 1,500-pound payload. However, the gas-powered EcoBoost models equipped with the available tow package can tow up to 4,000 pounds. Without the package, the max tow weight for the Maverick is still a respectable 2,000 pounds.
Interior Amenities of the Ford Truck
Premium cloth covers seating for five inside the Maverick's cabin. The backseat has a standard storage area beneath the easy-to-lift bench seat. Have you ever lost your phone in the backseat of a friend's car? The design for the Maverick's cushions reduces the chance of that scenario.
Ford Maverick Flexbed - A Welcoming Space
Despite being one of the smallest beds on the Shawnee market, Ford Maverick Flexbed allows for the convenient configuring of payloads. So, dependent upon your recreational pursuit or work commitments, certain elements and dimensions allow for stowing of coolers, pallets, bikes and lengths of cargo strapping.
At 4.5-feet long and 53.3-inches wide, there's also depth of 20-inches. These measurements provide for 33.3 cu.-ft. of storage. Bed lighting makes optional storage cubbies easily accessible at night outside Holdenville. Fixed and moveable tie-down points make anchoring of equipment and gear efficient and safe. And the sprayed-in bedliner lends a layer of protection.
Towing Opportunities Myriad
Powered by an EcoBoost, four-cylinder engine, up to 250 hp and 277 lb.-ft. of torque are generated with ease. This ensures the hauling of up to 4,000-lbs. through rolling hills is accomplished with little hesitation. This stems from an eight-speed automatic drivetrain and an integrated trailer-brake controller helping to reinforce driver confidence.
Emergency braking is standard as are twilight-sensing headlamps featuring automatic high beams. Additional driver assistance is found with upper trim levels.
Built Ford Tough Affordability
With Ford Maverick, the sense of affordability comprising a redefined pickup is something to note. And in this one smaller truck package, you've got a comfortable cab and fuel economy of 48 mpg earned from a hybrid powertrain.
While shorter than both Ford Ranger and Ford F-150 pickups, Ford Maverick will easily fit into Wewoka garages and Prague drive-thru lanes. Though, competitor Hyundai Santa Cruz comes smaller than Ford Maverick by four inches.
In all, Ford Maverick presents a different view of things when considering a pickup. And it's almost unbelievable those elements contributing to this remarkable, new Ford truck design as an indicator of things to come.
