2026 Ford Maverick Trims Comparison

Which 2026 Maverick trim does Edmunds recommend?

Ford hasn't released official information on the 2026 Maverick as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's Maverick, we recommend the XLT trim level for most Maverick buyers. Its pricing is within the realm of reasonable, and besides its extra standard features, it's available with a number of options you can't get on the base XL.

2026 Maverick trim level differences

[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's Maverick. We expect the 2026 model will have a similar lineup and we'll update this section once we have complete information.] The Ford Maverick is a compact crew-cab pickup available in five trim levels: XL, XLT, Lobo, Lariat and Tremor. The XL, XLT and Lariat come with one of two powertrains. You can pick between a 191-horsepower hybrid powertrain or a 250-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine (Ford calls this the EcoBoost engine). Get the hybrid for better mpg or the EcoBoost engine for quicker acceleration. The hybrid is available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive; the EcoBoost has standard all-wheel drive. The Maverick's Lobo and Tremor trim levels come with the EcoBoost engine only. Keep reading for our breakdown of the Maverick's significant standard features and options.

XL
This base trim comes standard with:

  • Continuously variable automatic transmission (hybrid) or eight-speed automatic (EcoBoost)
  • LED headlights
  • 17-inch steel wheels
  • Cloth upholstery
  • 13.2-inch center touchscreen
  • Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Six-speaker stereo
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Maverick back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)

XLT
Adds a few extra features, such as:

  • Alloy wheels
  • Upgraded upholstery
  • Rear center armrest with cupholders
  • Power-locking tailgate
  • Trailer hitch receiver

Lobo
The Maverick Lobo, new for 2025, is meant to be an homage to the lowered sport compact pickups of the 1990s. It mostly has the same convenience features as the XLT but upgrades the truck's performance by way of:

  • Lowered sport-tuned suspension for better on-road handling
  • 19-inch black-painted alloy wheels
  • Performance brakes
  • Sport-tuned steering
  • Special grille and front-end styling
  • Lobo-specific synthetic leather upholstery
  • Seven-speed automatic transmission
  • Torque vectoring all-wheel drive (helps to improve cornering performance and stability)
  • Ford Co-Pilot360 (see below)

Lariat
This top-of-the-line trim adds to the XLT's equipment with:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Spray-in bedliner
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Power-sliding rear window
  • Heated seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Household-style power outlet

The Lariat also has:

  • Navigation system with voice control
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad
  • Eight-speaker B&O premium sound system
  • Ford Co-Pilot360 (see below)
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Maverick and the car in front)
  • Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

Tremor
The Tremor is based on the Lariat. It enhances the Maverick's off-road capabilities with:

  • Off-road-tuned suspension with elevated ground clearance
  • 17-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires
  • Trail Control (low-speed cruise control for off-roading)
  • Underbody skid plates
  • Upgraded transmission cooler
  • Full-size spare tire
  • Locking rear differential
  • Additional terrain drive modes
  • Unique exterior styling elements and badging

Some of the Lariat's extra features are available on the XLT and Lobo trims through option packages. Other key optional packages for the Maverick include:

Ford Co-Pilot360

  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Evasive steering assistance (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Intersection collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision during a left turn and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

4K Towing package

  • Trailer hitch receiver with seven-pin trailer wiring harness connector
  • Integrated trailer brake controller (allows adjustment of a trailer's brakes from the cab)
  • Upgraded powertrain cooling

FX4 Off-Road package (requires all-wheel drive)

  • All-terrain tires
  • Exposed front tow hooks
  • Hill descent control
  • Skid plates
