Buyers in Long Beach and Diamondhead who are shopping for a truck because they want versatility and the capability of a vehicle that can handle larger items and offers exterior cargo space are sure to be intrigued by the 2026 Ford Maverick. While this truck is considered compact, it offers seating for five and an impressive amount of cargo and towing capacity. And buyers have the choice of several trim levels to ensure they are getting all the functions and features they want from their investment in the truck that has earned the MotorTrend Truck of the Year award for 2026.
The standard powerplant for the 2026 maverick is a hybrid setup that features a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and an electric motor that combine for 191 horsepower. The optional engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that boasts 250 horsepower. All-wheel drive and front-wheel drive are both options for this pickup.
Buyers in Slidell and Kiln love that the Maverick is a crew cab that features four doors and two rows of seating. The storage options are abundant, including some larger cargo spaces under the seats. Even the base model features a tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, remote keyless entry, and front seats with adjustable lumbar support. With five trim levels, buyers can select the amount of creature comforts they want to create the perfect truck. Interior options include:
The technology included in all Maverick models is generous, with a center dash touchscreen that measures over 13 inches. Other standard tech includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot. Optional features include satellite radio, a B&O stereo system, and wireless charging pad. The safety and driver assistance features are also very generous and include these standard tools:
With the 2025 maverick getting a complete refresh, the 2026 model saw very few changes. Most of the alterations for 2026 are cosmetic, like the addition of a few new colors and trim options like blacked-out logos.
Buyers who want the versatility of a truck are often shocked by the cost of a full-size F-150 or Super Duty. In addition, the footprint of a full-size pickup can be more than many drivers want to manage on their daily commute to Gulfport and Biloxi. The simple solution is the ultra-capable and very manageable size of the Maverick. Buyers in Waveland get the seating capacity and body size of an SUV, along with the added capability of the open truck bed, all at a very reasonable price.
