We tested both variants of the Maverick in Nashville, Tennessee to see if this new baby pickup is still "Built Ford Tough." We've never tested a pickup truck quite like this, and with a starting price under $20,000 (not including destination charge), it's easy to see how Ford could have a sales hit on its hands. Buyers who want more power and more capability can opt for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost, sending 250 horsepower to the front wheels or optional all-wheel drive. Ford's approach is interesting here, offering a 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid as the base powertrain, driving the front wheels through a CVT. The Maverick arrives in a brand-new compact truck segment, which also includes the recently-introduced Hyundai Santa Cruz. This formula won't sway traditional, towing/hauling-obsessed truck lovers, but Ford is setting its sights on a new market with the Maverick, and hopes to get many buyers into their very first truck. Essentially picking up where the previous generation Ranger left off, the Maverick arrives as a genuinely small unibody truck for urban dwellers and active lifestyle shoppers who don't need the size or capability afforded by a mid-size or full-size truck. No, not the compact coupe/sedan Ford sold in the '70s, this one is a pickup truck. Pickup trucks seem to grow larger with each passing year, but we can feel the winds of change shifting in the opposite direction with the new 2022 Ford Maverick.
