2024 Ford Maverick

Price Range: $18,990 - $35,998

Average

If utility on a budget is a priority, the 2024 Ford Maverick is a solid choice. It offers up either hybrid or turbocharged engines, a good-size bed, and lots of interior space. The downside is that even though it's a car-based vehicle, the ride and handling are a little too trucky for some.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Alex Nishimoto

Updated: 5/8/2026

The 2024 Ford Maverick is a compact pickup truck and the most affordable vehicle the Blue Oval brand sells. Like the other entrant in the emerging compact truck category, the Maverick forgoes the traditional body-on-frame construction of larger trucks in favor of a unibody setup — in its case, one derived from the Bronco Sport's platform. It might not be a truck your grandfather would approve of, but it has a reasonably sized bed and impressive towing and payload figures for a small trucklet.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Travis Langness

Average

7.4

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Ford Maverick on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Maverick drive? We tested both Maverick engines: the base engine 2.5-liter hybrid as well as the optional turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. Our test truck, equipped with the latter, zipped from zero to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds. That's quicker than any midsize pickup truck and just a smidge quicker than the Hyundai Santa Cruz. The automatic transmission shifts quickly when you're accelerating, and it doesn't hunt around for gears on long uphill grades thanks to abundant power from under the hood. The Maverick with the base hybrid powertrain is a bit slower to 60 at 8.4 seconds, but it's a trade-off we'd make given the improved fuel efficiency.

Steering and handling aren't as satisfying, however. The Maverick feels more like a traditional truck in this sense. You don't get much feel for the road through the steering wheel, and there's a significant amount of body roll when going around turns. The Maverick is a bit stiffly sprung so midcorner bumps will upset its handling a bit too.

Off-roading isn't a strong suit for the Lariat trim level, which is what we tested, but there's a decent 8.3 inches of ground clearance and all-wheel drive to be had. Plus, you can get the optional FX4 package if you want to go even farther off the beaten path.

Comfort

6.5/10

How comfortable is the Maverick? When it comes to comfort, the Maverick embraces more of the truck vibe than its Hyundai Santa Cruz rival. Over broken or bumpy roads, it has a choppy ride quality that never seems to go away. The seats are firmly padded but supportive, and they hold up over long trips. But there are hard plastic door panels right next to your knees, and they're uncomfortable to brace against when navigating down curvy roads.

There isn't much noise from the engine on the highway, but it's a bit unrefined at idle and under full-throttle acceleration. We also noticed a strikingly loud drivetrain noise coming from beneath the rear floor that we couldn't identify. These traits are a bit of a harder pill to swallow on the top-trim Lariat.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? You'll love the Maverick if you like your truck interiors simple. There aren't a lot of frills or buttons, but finding the controls you need is very easy. Getting in and out requires some ducking of heads for most, but once you're inside there's a decent amount of headroom all around. The driving position is relatively upright, and the driver's seat and steering wheel don't offer much adjustability. Legroom is limited in the rear seat, as is the space under the front seats for feet.

The Maverick's boxy cab, however, provides excellent visibility. Big, squarish windows mean that you can see well in every direction, and while they're a bit on the small side, we like Ford's useful integrated blind-spot mirrors.

Technology

6.5/10

How’s the tech? There's not much tech to play with inside the Maverick. You do get an 8-inch touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and it's quick and easy to connect, but that's about where it ends. The standard stereo is pretty underwhelming when it comes to output volume. Additional driver aids such as adaptive cruise control are available but only come standard on the top Lariat trim. The rival Santa Fe comes with more of these features as standard equipment.

Towing and Storage

8/10

How are the towing and storage? The Maverick's party piece is the massive number of cubbies and interior storage areas. The doors can accommodate huge water bottles, the rear underseat storage is relatively large, and there are all sorts of useful dividers in the large center console. The Maverick has mastered small-item storage.

Loading in a large car seat will be a bit difficult because the top tethers are located behind the folding rear seats. Plus, the underseat storage is accessed by lifting up the entire rear seat bottom, so you'll have to remove any child seats to get underneath. What a pain.

The Maverick's maximum towing and payload capacities are impressive for such a small vehicle: 4,000 and 1,500 pounds, respectively. The Maverick also offers a four-pin and seven-pin connector and an integrated trailer brake controller, the latter of which is missing in the rival Hyundai Santa Cruz. So while the Santa Cruz ultimately has a higher overall towing capacity, the Maverick is better equipped to tow straight from the factory.

Fuel Economy

9/10

How’s the fuel economy? With the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and all-wheel drive, the Maverick gets an EPA rating of 25 mpg combined. That's a respectable number that we were able to easily achieve in the real world. On our evaluation route, our test Maverick returned 27 mpg in mixed highway and city driving. On the same route, a Santa Cruz actually topped that by 2 mpg, but if fuel efficiency is a top concern, the real trump card here is the Maverick's hybrid powertrain. The hybrid Maverick gets a segment-topping EPA estimate of 37 mpg combined. That beats most non-hybrid compact sedans. In the real world, we regularly saw over 40 mpg combined during testing, which is promising.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Maverick a good value? At its entry price, there's no denying the Maverick's appeal. Even a decently equipped Maverick will undercut the price of a midsize truck. The cabin's materials are nothing special, however, and you have to opt for the top trim level to get all of the truck's advanced driver aids, such as adaptive cruise control, as standard. A three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty are pretty typical among trucks, and that's what the Maverick gets. But the Santa Cruz blows it out of the water with a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The Maverick is relatively nondescript. It accomplishes its mission of looking like a truck, and therefore it goes mostly unnoticed. We give it some credit for its efficient hybrid engine, along with its no-frills interior and low starting price. Pair that with a functional and easy-to-use bed, and you've got a unique offering but not one with a ton of personality.

2024 Ford Maverick trim level differences

The 2024 Ford Maverick is a compact crew-cab pickup available in three main trim levels: XL, XLT and Lariat. Each trim comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that produces 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque and is paired with an eight speed-automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is available. Optional is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a hybrid system to produce a combined 191 hp and 155 lb-ft of torque. This combo is mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and is only available with front-wheel drive. Keep reading for our breakdown of the Maverick's significant standard features and options. Compare the 2024 Ford Maverick trim levels in-depth.

Which Maverick trim does Edmunds recommend?

If having choices is important to you, we recommend going with the midlevel XLT model over the base XL. It gets you only a few extra features like alloy wheels and unique cloth seats, but it opens up possibilities with add-on features like the Tremor Off-Road package and XLT Luxury package.

Competitors to consider

The Ford Maverick currently has only one direct competitor, the similarly car-based Hyundai Santa Cruz. However, depending on configuration, the Maverick might also go toe to toe with midsize trucks like the Ford Ranger, Honda Ridgeline, Chevrolet Colorado, Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma. Take a look at our Expert Rating below to see how the Maverick stacks up against those larger competitors.

Edmunds spotlight: Changes for 2024

Introduced in 2022, the Maverick still feels pretty fresh. Last year, Ford added a Tremor Off-Road package to bolster the four-wheeling chops of the XLT and Lariat. The small truck continues to be offered exclusively as a four-door crew cab with a 4.5-foot bed. For this year, Ford has taken the unusual step of switching the roles of the Maverick's powertrain offerings. The same turbocharged 2.0-liter that was optional last year is now standard, and the same 2.5-liter hybrid that was standard last year is the added-cost option now. Regardless, your choice still comes down to whether you want the extra grunt of the turbo engine or the higher fuel economy of the hybrid.

Ford Maverick vs. Hyundai Santa Cruz

The Hyundai Santa Cruz doesn't look like every other truck on the market — and it isn't trying to. The Santa Cruz defies convention with its radical styling and feature-rich bed that adds more utility than you might expect from a lifestyle vehicle. The Santa Cruz is more expensive than its chief rival, the Maverick, but it makes up for it with a well-designed cabin that's packed with tech and convenience features. Plus, since it's a Hyundai, it has one of the best powertrain warranties in the business: 10 years/100,000 miles.

Ford Maverick vs. Nissan Frontier

Completely redesigned for 2023, the Nissan Frontier is now a much more competitive offering in the midsize pickup truck class. It drives better, has more standard and available tech, and looks like something that was designed in this century. As a body-on-frame truck, the Frontier has higher capabilities than the Maverick. Its max towing capacity of 6,720 pounds far exceeds the Maverick's max of 4,000 pounds. You'll pay a few grand more for the Frontier, however, and the most efficient Frontier still lags behind even the most powerful and off-road-ready variant of the Maverick.

Ford Maverick vs. Ford Ranger

The Maverick's bigger sibling, the Ford Ranger, is freshly redesigned for 2024. We haven't had a chance to drive the new truck yet, but the refresh appears to have addressed many of our complaints with the rough-riding last generation. Capable of towing up to 7,500 pounds or carrying 1,805 pounds in the bed, the Ranger is vastly more capable than the Maverick. But with prices starting about $10,000 higher than the smaller truck, you'll want to seriously consider your needs before choosing between the two.
