What Is the 2022 Ford Maverick?
Have you recently heard about the upcoming release of the 2022 Ford Maverick? If so, then there’s a good chance that you have more than a few questions on your mind about this hybrid pickup truck, such as its MPG, features, and more. For this reason, the team at Gilland Ford is here to explain what this model is and what it’s expected to offer! If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us for additional information.
Standard Hybrid Performance
Perhaps the most distinct aspect of the 2022 Maverick is the fact that it’s the world’s first hybrid-standard pickup truck. Though other models, like the 2021 F-150, offer hybrid technology as an option, this Ford will have a standard 2.5L Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder powertrain with an EPA-targeted 40 MPG hwy1. Despite this remarkable efficiency for a truck, the Maverick is still expected to deliver the kind of power that you’re accustomed to, resulting in a 1,500-lb. payload capacity2 and a 2,000-lb. trailering rating2. And if you think you’ll need some extra muscle to tackle the task at hand, you can swap out the hybrid powertrain with a 2.0L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder system that provides up to a 4,000-lb. maximum towing capacity2.
Tech Features
There’s a whole lot more to love about the 2022 Ford Maverick, so let’s move on and examine the various innovations included within its cabin. Right in the center of the dashboard is a standard 8-inch touchscreen that houses your various media applications and places them right at your fingertips. As a result, you can make use of Apple CarPlay®3, Android Auto™3, and even Wi-Fi via FordPass™ Connect4 whenever you’re on the go! That way, streaming music, placing hands-free calls, and more can all be accomplished with just a few taps. Of course, if you’re hoping to enhance your drives to Ozark Travel Park, consider adding the available 8-speaker sound system to the equation.
Safety
Though most drivers don’t necessarily associate pickup trucks with intelligent safety, the Ford Maverick is quick to prove that it’s dedicated to promoting your well-being behind the wheel. Thanks to the standard inclusion of Ford Co-Pilot360™ driver-assist technology, you’ll have peace of mind whether you’re taking the kids to school or delivering a load to the jobsite. While the Pre-Collision System with Automatic Emergency Braking5 steps with stopping power if you’re at risk of an accident, the Automatic High Beam Headlamps adjust their brightness when an oncoming vehicle is detected to avoid blinding the driver. If you wish, you may also spring for optional safety features such as the Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Centering, and Evasive Steering Assist5.
