Ignore the trim badge and judge this new 2026 Ford Maverick XL Hybrid by what it delivers: a pickup bed, seating for five, an EPA-estimated 38 MPG combined rating and a footprint that is easier to place in Tampa Bay traffic, garages and parking lots than a full-size truck. Space White Metallic, a black mesh grille and black exterior details give it a clean appearance.

Fords 2.5L hybrid engine works with a power-split electric CVT and front-wheel drive to achieve an EPA-estimated 42 MPG city and 35 MPG highway. Travel between Wesley Chapel, New Tampa, Lutz and Tampa becomes less dependent on frequent fuel stops without giving up pickup utility.

The FLEXBED Storage System and cargo-box tie-down hooks help organize home-improvement supplies, outdoor equipment or work materials. A locking tailgate helps secure the bed, while the factory 2K trailer hitch receiver adds flexibility for compatible light-duty towing.

Useful storage continues inside. The rear bench flips upward to reveal a hidden compartment for tools, bags or valuables. Navy Pier and Black/Slate cloth seating provides passenger room without sacrificing protected storage, making the Maverick practical for commuting and weekend errands around Land O Lakes or Odessa.

Every new Ford Maverick at Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. Parks Plus adds paint and fabric protection, cabin sanitizer and antimicrobial protectant, rain repellent, headlight protection, nitrogen tire service, anti-theft VIN etching, stolen-vehicle assistance, roadside assistance and collision loyalty benefits.

The cabin avoids the stripped-down feeling often associated with an entry trim. A 13.2-inch center display with SYNC 4 manages compatible smartphone functions, entertainment and vehicle settings. An eight-inch cluster, cruise control, dual USB ports, power windows and locks, remote keyless entry and a tilt-and-telescoping steering column support everyday use.

The connected package includes one year of compatible Ford app features, and SiriusXM with 360L includes a three-month trial. A 5G modem and 12-volt power points help keep information and devices ready during workdays or trips beyond Zephyrhills.

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking can provide support when a possible frontal collision is detected. A rearview camera helps when backing toward a trailer or into a tight Tampa parking space. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes, Safety Canopy airbags and tire-pressure monitoring add confidence.

LED reflector headlights, automatic high beams and automatic on/off lighting improve visibility when Florida weather changes quickly. A conventional spare tire adds reassurance on longer drives, and selectable drive modes allow the Maverick to adjust as road conditions change.

This Maverick XL is defined by what it delivers: hybrid efficiency, five-passenger flexibility, a configurable bed, hidden storage, connected technology and a factory trailer hitch. It gives compact-truck buyers practical capability without asking them to manage more truck than the day requires.
