2027 Ford Maverick Preview

Introduction

The compact truck to outlast them all, the Ford Maverick will continue into 2027 alone in its segment. The only competitor it had was the Hyundai Santa Cruz and production will cease on this model by the end of 2026, making the Maverick the last compact truck standing. The 2027 model will not receive many updates, and the fun sized truck can be expected to house the same amount of versatility as the last model year.

Key Takeaways

• The Ford Maverick is continuing into 2027, having made the cut where the Hyundai Santa Cruz did not.
• The compact truck is not changing much in 2027 and should be available for order soon. If you don't want to wait we have multiple new 2026 models available for sale.
• The Maverick starts around $30,000 but can go higher than $45,000 for more creature comforts and capability.

Did Ford discontinue the Maverick?

No, Ford has not discontinued the Maverick. The Ford Maverick has actually done so well, it displaced sales for the Hyundai Santa Cruz, and as a result Hyundai is ending production on their compact truck in 2026 (Kelley Blue Book). This makes the Maverick the top "gun" in its class as the last man standing. While it is the only compact truck in 2027, it goes into the new year relatively unchanged, as Ford just recently updated the Mav with a major restyling in 2025 and had some work done in 2026 with a few minor updates.

The Ford Maverick does not need to do much more than it already does to sell itself, with two engines that please both niches of interested parties in the vehicle it can stand on its own two feet. The first engine offered in 2026 is a 2.5 liter four cylinder engine paired with an electric motor that makes for 191 horsepower. The other engine is a 2.0 liter turbocharged four cylinder that puts out 250 horses.

Both engines are now offered with AWD which makes these excellent commuter trucks in Colorado snow, for college students, or weekend trips to the Rockies. The hybrid engine gets 42 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway, whereas the punchier engine gets 23 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.

Is the 2027 Ford Maverick available for order?

The 2027 Ford Maverick is not yet available for order, but should be available for order in the fall. We will then get some models in the lot by the end of the year or sometime early in 2027. While your 2027 Maverick is still a while off, check our used inventory for used Mavericks, or test drive some of our new 2026 models still available. 2026 models should be fairly similar to the upcoming model year if you want to get a feel for whether the Maverick is right for you or your loved ones.

How much does the Ford Maverick cost?

Last year the Ford Maverick started at around $33,000 MSRP and up to the mid $40,000s depending on trim and engine choices. This compact truck is the perfect option for those who want the blend of a commuter SUV and pickup truck.

While larger trucks are great for what they are built for, with constantly fluctuating gas prices, they can get even more expensive quickly. The Ford Maverick saves you money up front, and if you get the hybrid engine, it saves you money down the line as well. This makes the Maverick an excellent choice for its practicality and value, offering a crossover sized vehicle with a fun sized truck bed that is capable for plenty of weekend warriors all over Colorado.

It will also come with all the perks of the larger fancier Ford vehicles, with a 13.2 inch infotainment system and the base model even comes with a hot spot. While the rear seats might be cramped for anyone over the age of 16, they fit kids just fine, or any extra gear you might need for straightforward adventures. The Maverick might be small, but it is dynamite! It does not take much to get you out onto the road and it will have plenty of space in the bed for your weekend adventures.

The Maverick is also a popular fleet vehicle. Many companies find them perfect for employees as it saves the company money and offers a quality bed for storage. The Maverick can tow 4,000 pounds and has a payload capacity of 1,500 pounds.

Is the 2027 Ford Maverick Worth Purchasing?
