The verdict

What's good

Only compact pickup that returns city mpg better than its highway number
FLEXBED cargo system accepts dozens of Ford-approved snap-in accessories
Fits in most standard parking garage height restrictions full-size trucks can't
Comfortable daily-driver composure by compact truck standards

What's not

Bouncy, unsettled ride quality when the bed is empty
Interior plastics feel budget-grade even at mid-trim levels

The engine

2.5L FHEV I4

2.5L I4 Hybrid

A quiet, fuel-sipping Atkinson-cycle four that hands off seamlessly to its electric motor, prioritizing smoothness and class-leading economy over urgency.

Ford's full-hybrid system pairs a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four with an electronically controlled CVT, drawing on hybrid know-how Ford developed over multiple generations of Escape and Fusion hybrids.

The Maverick that uses it became the first pickup truck offered with a standard hybrid powertrain, launching at a base price near 20,000 dollars.
The hybrid's electric motor was designed in-house by Ford and manufactured by Toshiba.
The Atkinson cycle delays intake-valve closing so the engine expands gases more than it compresses them, trading a little power for a meaningful efficiency gain.
