The strongest argument for this new 2026 Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid may be what it saves without asking you to give up. Its EPA-estimated 42 MPG city, 35 MPG highway and 38 MPG combined deliver outstanding efficiency, while the four-door cabin, flexible pickup bed and factory trailer hitch preserve the everyday utility buyers expect from a truck. Velocity Blue paint and 17-inch Carbon Gray aluminum wheels give it a distinctive appearance that stands out around Wesley Chapel and Tampa.

Fords 2.5L hybrid engine works with a power-split electronic continuously variable transmission to provide smooth, quiet and responsive performance. Front-wheel drive helps keep the Maverick light and easy to maneuver through traffic, parking garages and crowded shopping centers, while selectable drive modes allow its responses to adjust as conditions change.

The FLEXBED Storage System gives the cargo box more purpose than a traditional empty bed. Tie-down hooks help secure bicycles, coolers, tools, furniture and home-improvement supplies, while enclosed bed storage provides a separate place for smaller items. A power-locking tailgate adds security, and the factory trailer hitch expands its usefulness for light towing and recreational equipment.

The cabin offers another protected storage area. Flip up the second-row bench to reveal under-seat space for work gear, shopping bags, valuables or anything that should stay out of Florida rain. Lower the seat and the Maverick becomes a practical five-passenger vehicle for commuting, family schedules and weekend travel.

The Navy Pier and Aspen Gray interior gives the XLT cabin a more distinctive look than a basic work truck. The XLT Luxury Package adds an eight-way power drivers seat, while unique cloth bucket seats, cruise control, power windows and locks, dual USB connections, 12-volt outlets and an 8-inch cluster display support everyday comfort and convenience.

SYNC 4 uses a large 13.2-inch center display for compatible smartphone functions, entertainment and vehicle settings. The included connected package supports compatible Ford app features, while the 5G modem provides access to available connected services and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. SiriusXM with 360L includes a three-month trial.

Intelligent Access with push-button start simplifies entering and starting the truck. A rearview camera helps with parking and trailer positioning, while Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking can provide support when a potential frontal collision is detected. Safety Canopy side-curtain airbags, tire-pressure monitoring, a perimeter alarm and SecuriLock anti-theft technology add further confidence.

Velocity Blue paint is complemented by Carbon Gray wheels, black exterior accents and LED reflector headlights. Automatic high beams, wiper-activated headlights, power mirrors, daytime running lamps and a conventional spare tire add useful convenience for daily driving and longer trips.

Every new Ford Maverick at Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty.
