Efficiency is a hallmark of this pickup, boasting an impressive 42 city MPG and 33 hwy MPG. The Auto stop-start engine technology further enhances fuel conservation during frequent stops. Built on an Aluminum engine block with a Transverse mounted engine configuration, the mechanical layout is designed for durability and balance. Drivers will appreciate the Electric Power-Assist Speed-Sensing Steering and Hill Start Assist, which provide confidence when starting on an incline or navigating tight turns. With a 1500# Maximum Payload and a Class I tow rating supported by Trailer Sway Control, this Maverick is ready to haul your gear to the lake or transport equipment across the county with ease.
Technology & Connectivity
Inside the cabin, the Maverick XL keeps you connected to your world without distraction. The centerpiece of the dashboard is an 8 inch primary display featuring a Primary monitor touchscreen for intuitive control. With Smart device integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can seamlessly mirror your favorite navigation and music apps directly from your phone. For those long drives between rural hubs, the 6 speakers and Wireless audio streaming ensure your favorite playlists or podcasts come through with clarity.
The driver is kept informed by a 4.20 inch gauge cluster display and an Analog instrumentation display, featuring a Redundant Digital Speedometer and an ECO feedback display gauge to help you maximize your hybrid efficiency. Staying charged is simple with 2 USB ports, and the Steering wheel mounted audio controls allow you to adjust your media without taking your eyes off the road. Additionally, the FordPass Connect 4G mobile hotspot internet access provides connectivity for your devices, making the Maverick a mobile office or a hub for weekend adventures.
Comfort & Interior
The interior of the Maverick XL is designed for practical comfort, featuring Cloth front seat upholstery in a professional BLACK ONYX-MED DK SLATE TRIM. The cabin is thoughtfully laid out with Bucket front seats and a Full Folding Bench in the rear, providing a versatile Seating capacity of 5. Storage is a priority, evidenced by the 2nd Row Underseat Storage, Dashboard Storage, and Driver / Passenger And Rear Door Bins, ensuring there is a dedicated spot for your tools, gloves, and daily essentials.
The environment remains pleasant year-round thanks to the Automatic climate control and Rear under seat climate control ducts, which ensure passengers in the back stay comfortable during humid Illinois summers. Convenience features abound, including Power first-row windows, Power door locks with 2 stage unlocking, and Remote keyless entry. The Mini Overhead Console w/Storage includes 2 12V DC Power Outlets, perfect for powering accessories on the go.

Safety & Driver Assistance
Safety is paramount in the 2022 Maverick XL, which comes equipped with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assist technologies. This includes Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with Forward collision warning and Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, providing an extra set of eyes on the road. In the event of an incident, the Post Collision Braking system helps prevent secondary impacts. The vehicle is outfitted with 7 airbags, including a Driver knee airbag and Safety Canopy System curtain first and second-row overhead airbags, ensuring comprehensive protection for all occupants.
Maneuvering in tight spots is made easier with the Back-Up Camera, while the Regenerative 4-Wheel Disc Brakes w/4-Wheel ABS provide consistent stopping power while recharging the hybrid battery. Additional peace of mind comes from Brake Assist, Automatic brake hold, and the Tire Specific Low Tire Pressure Warning system. For families, the Manual rear child safety door locks and Airbag Occupancy Sensor provide essential security, making this truck a safe choice for both work and home life.
Exterior & Design
Presented in a sophisticated CARBONIZED Gray METALLIC, the Maverick XL sports a rugged yet refined aesthetic. The Black grille and Body-Colored Front Bumper with black accents give it a modern look that stands out in any setting. It sits on 17 inch Sparkle Silver Steel wheels with Wheel hub covers, designed for durability on gravel roads and paved streets alike. The functional exterior includes a Black Rear Step Bumper for easy access to the bed and Pickup bed-rail protectors to guard against wear and tear.
Lighting is handled by LED low and high beam headlights with Autolamp auto on/off control and Auto High-Beam functionality, ensuring maximum visibility during late-night drives through the countryside. The Standard style pickup box is complemented by a Tailgate with Manual lock, and the inclusion of a Full-size spare tire with steel wheel means you are prepared for the unexpected.
