What is the 2024 Maverick XLT MSRP?
The XLT has a starting price of about $26,315, which is music to the ears of buyers on a budget. The Maverick rolled off the factory line in 1970 as a sporty muscle car. It was reintroduced as a truck in 2022. Today, the Maverick is one of the most affordable compact pickups on the market. While prices have risen a bit, it remains a very inexpensive truck in comparison to its rivals.
What are the Maverick’s mighty engine specs?
The XLT is a feisty vehicle and features a Turbo 2.0L four-cylinder engine that generates a respectable 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. It’s paired with eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD), with the option of all-wheel drive (AWD). In 2023, the Maverick’s hybrid powertrain was standard— in 2023, it’s a $1,500 upgrade. This 2.5L four-cylinder hybrid engine delivers 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and FWD.
The Mav’s gas engine gets 23 mpg city/30 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined; its hybrid ramps things up considerably with 42 city/33 highway and 37 mpg combined. The “little pickup that could” has a 2,000-pound towing capacity, but reaches a whopping 4,000-pounds when properly configured.
What features are available in the Maverick XLT?
The Maverick XLT features the mighty Tremor configuration, which makes off-roading on rough trails much more safe and fun, thanks to its locking rear differential and extra lift.
