2022 Ford Maverick Model Review in Dallas, GA
Pickup trucks are changing. They no longer have to be relegated to the role of construction-site brute. They can be built for daily driving, weekend work, and year-round road trips. No model embodies this evolution more than the 2022 Ford Maverick. With a standard hybrid powertrain, the agility of a car, and the adventurous potential of an SUV, it may be easier to discuss what this truck isn’t capable of. Nevertheless, Hardy Family Ford is here to discuss what the Maverick will bring to the market!
A Standard Hybrid Powertrain Drives the 2022 Ford Maverick
The days of hybrid vehicles being regarded as glorified go karts are long gone. The 2022 Ford Maverick is out to prove what hybrids can do, boasting a 1,500-lb. payload capacity and up to a 4,000-lb. towing capacity. All that from a truck with a targeted 40-mpg city fuel economy! With an EPA-estimated 500 mile-range, the Maverick is in it for the long haul. This versatile vehicle won’t just change the perception of pickup trucks, it will make getting around and getting the job done easier than ever!
The 2022 Ford Maverick vs. The Competition
As the first standard hybrid truck to grace American streets, it’s tricky to find another pickup quite like the 2022 Ford Maverick. But there are a couple other models that offer truck functionality with car-like maneuverability. Let’s take a look and see how the Maverick stacks up against other petite pickups!
The 2022 Ford Maverick vs. The Hyundai Santa Cruz
Perhaps the closest competitor to the Maverick is the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz. This crossover-esque pickup provides a similar blend of ruggedness and practicality. These compact pickups may be similar in stature, but they’re different in price. The 2022 Ford Maverick starts at a fiercely affordable $19,995 while the base Santa Cruz will cost at least $23,990. Despite the price, Hyundai’s foray into the truck market lacks a hybrid option and sports a slightly smaller bed than the Maverick. The Santa Cruz may lure in adventurous drivers with unique styling, but it’s really just a pickup truck on paper. The 2022 Ford Maverick proves its worth on the road!
The 2022 Ford Maverick vs. The Honda Ridgeline
While the Maverick and Santa Cruz are newcomers to the pickup truck market, there is another truck that’s been an industry staple for years. The Honda Ridgeline appeals to shoppers looking for the potential a pickup truck provides without sacrificing fuel efficiency. Despite it’s larger size, the Ridgeline only boasts a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds and a maximum payload of 1,600 pounds. Compare that to the Maverick’s towing/hauling capacities of 4,000 and 1,500 pounds, and it’s hard to justify opting for the Ridgeline that starts at over $36,000! There’s just no other hybrid compact pickup like the 2022 Ford Maverick.
Technology Reigns Supreme in the 2022 Ford Maverick
Whether you’re looking under the hood or through the windshield, you’ll find nothing but innovation in your line of site. A standard 8-inch touchscreen provides easy access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which could be streaming audio through an available 8-speaker B & O sound system. Add in an in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot and you’ve got a truck that can keep you as connected to the world as you want to be. The 2022 Ford Maverick is built to suit your mood with however you want to move.
Configure Your 2022 Ford Maverick However You’d Like
From sitting in the back seat to loading gear into the bed, the 2022 Ford Maverick will fit your needs. Ford’s Flexbed design accommodates multiple configurations—whether you need a bike racks or double-divided toolbox—so your cargo can enjoy the ride as much as you. Standard rear-seat storage carves out some extra room on the interior while seating 5 passengers comfortably. Last but not least, the lucky driver can enjoy an available 8-way power driver’s seat to steer all that precious cargo in customizable comfort.
