How Much Horsepower Is Seen From the 2024 Ford Maverick?
In 2024, the Maverick remains feisty, with its Turbo 2.0L four-cylinder engine delivering a respectable 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. Also included is eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD), with the option of all-wheel drive (AWD). Last year, the Maverick’s hybrid powertrain came standard; this year, it’s a $1,500 upgrade. This option is a 2.5L four-cylinder hybrid engine delivering 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft and includes continuously variable transmission and FWD.
The non-hybrid engine Maverick gets 26 mpg combined (23 city/30 highway), while the hybrid ramps things up with 37 mpg combined (42 city/33 highway).
Towing Capacity and Off-Roading
The Maverick is a beast when it comes to off-roading. Its Tremor configuration, available in higher trims, offers a locking rear differential and more lift. This allows for more get up and go when taking to a bumpy trail.
Admittedly, this mini-pickup doesn’t tow as much as its counterparts, so if you tow frequently heavy loads, you may want to set your sights on one of Ford’s other truck offerings. The Maverick has a 2,000-pound capacity, but it can reach 4,000-pounds with the 250 hp 2.0-liter EcoBoost.
What Technology Is Seen in the 2024 Ford Maverick?
Both years of the pickup feature an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system offering Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and six-speaker sound system. Ambient interior lighting, two tone cloth or leather upholstery and dual-zone climate control are available at higher trims. At the Lariat trim, you can boost your tunes with an eight-speaker Bang and Olufsen sound system.
No matter the trim, the Maverick is spacious on the inside and has four doors, making getting in and out easy for all occupants. The bottom trim, while a reliable work truck does not come with power mirrors or cruise control; however, they are available in the XLT and the Lariat. The bed of the Maverick is still 4 1/2 feet long with an electrical outlet inside (this can be upgraded to 110-volts.) Most cargo, therefore, should be easy to transport.
