Lasco Ford - What to Know About the 2026 Ford Maverick
The 2026 Ford Maverick distills what drivers love about trucks into a smart, city-friendly footprint. It blends hybrid efficiency with real capability, offers trims for performance and off-road enthusiasts, and adds thoughtful tech that simplifies every drive. At Lasco Ford — serving Grand Blanc, Brighton, and Hartland — we help shoppers cut through the noise with a clear, needs-first look at how the Maverick fits daily life, weekend projects, and everything in between.
Performance starts with choice. The standard 2.5L hybrid powertrain delivers impressive efficiency for commuting and errands without sacrificing utility. For extra punch, the available 2.0L EcoBoost turbocharged engine steps up acceleration and confidence at highway speeds. All-wheel drive is available for added traction in rain and snow. If you want a sport-tuned feel, the Maverick Lobo adds a quick-shifting transmission with paddle shifters, advanced torque management, and chassis tuning that makes cornering genuinely engaging. When towing or hauling is on the agenda, the Maverick’s strong chassis, smart cooling, and available tow technology offer a confident setup for small campers, utility trailers, and weekend toys.
Trims are straightforward. Maverick XL is value-focused with the core essentials and the versatile FLEXBED system. Maverick XLT brings convenient features and popular appearance upgrades. Maverick Lariat adds upscale comfort and advanced driver assistance. The Lobo model is the choice for drivers who love a sharper steering feel, athletic design cues, and performance-oriented hardware. For off-road travel, Maverick Tremor adds upgraded suspension components, underbody protection, and enhanced traction technologies designed for rutted trails and loose surfaces.

Inside, the Maverick focuses on smart usability. A standard 13.2-inch center display brings a clean interface, intuitive menus, and connected features you’ll actually use. Available Ford Co-Pilot360 technologies add confidence with features designed to help with lane-keeping, blind spot awareness, and parking. On higher trims, features like a 360-Degree Camera simplify low-speed maneuvering in tight lots and around gear.

- Match the terrain: Everyday roads, rough winters, or Tremor off-road capability

FLEXBED is a standout for DIY practicality. Pre-molded slots in the bed walls accept dividers and shelves you can build from off-the-shelf lumber, so you can compartmentalize tools, coolers, or camping gear. Low bed sides make loading easier, and available in-bed power supports small tools, air pumps, and tailgate projects. For cycling, paddle sports, or home improvement runs, the Maverick works like a rolling utility belt that never gets in the way.
Our team makes the selection process simple — from pinpointing the right trim to demonstrating features like selectable drive modes and trailer backing aids. Whether you value long-term running costs, off-pavement durability, or the Lobo’s responsive handling, we guide you to a configuration that fits your routine, your hobbies, and your budget plans without guesswork.
When you are ready to experience it firsthand, schedule a test drive to compare the hybrid and EcoBoost powertrains back-to-back. We can walk you through accessory solutions for bike racks, bed extenders, and protective liners, plus discuss packages that add capability for towing or weekend trails. The goal is a Maverick that feels custom-built for how you live.
