Ford Maverick Claims 2022 Truck of The Year Award

The Ford Maverick has earned rave reviews – and now, top honors. Named the North American Truck of the Year, the 2022 Ford Maverick surges ahead of the pack as an affordable, expertly equipped model that leaves nothing to be desired.

An independent panel of automotive journalists from the United States and Canada voted on the winner, casting their ballots for “all-new” or “substantially redesigned” vehicles. The winners, according to folks in the know, excel in driver satisfaction, handling, safety, design, innovation and value.

Offering incredible drivability for your dollar, the Maverick’s base trim rings up under $20,000! Drivers can’t keep quiet about the unmatched cabin comfort, with a 8-inch touchscreen display as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. They also enjoy top performance – without the high price tag!

Two Powertrains with Impressive Performance

This compact pickup was designed with both fuel efficiency and performance in mind, proving you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other! The 2022 Ford Maverick comes standard with a hybrid powertrain and front-wheel drive, boasting an estimated 42 mpg in the city, 33 mpg on the highway and 37 mpg combined. Plus, it has a 500-mile driving range!

The 2.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine pairs seamlessly with an electric motor to produce an impressive 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque – a massive feat for a hybrid engine. Traditional gas models equipped with the EcoBoost engine and front-wheel drive lose some fuel efficiency, achieving 23 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway and 26 mpg combined.
