What's new for the 2027 Ford Maverick?
The 2027 Ford Maverick will arrive as a carryover model that uses its recent refreshes to instead focus on stability. The exciting Lobo trim returns alongside options for front- or all-wheel-drive powertrains, and hybrid/turbocharged powertrains continue to feature.
Properly equipped models retain a maximum towing capacity of up to 4,000 pounds, while payload capacity reaches approximately 1,500 pounds. With the Lobo, Tremor, hybrid, and conventional configurations all serving different buyers, the 2027 Maverick should continue emphasizing versatility rather than dramatic year-over-year changes.

Will the 2027 Ford Maverick offer hybrid all-wheel drive?
For 2027, the Ford Maverick is confirmed to offer hybrid All Wheel Drive! The hybrid system pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for approximately 191 horsepower, routed through an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT). AWD models are capable of reaching 60 mph in roughly 6.7 to 7.0 seconds, giving the hybrid surprisingly strong acceleration for a powertrain primarily designed around efficiency.
Choosing AWD requires relatively little sacrifice at the pump. The Maverick Hybrid AWD is expected to return approximately 40 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 37 mpg combined, compared with roughly 39 mpg combined for the front-wheel-drive hybrid. AWD also opens the door to greater capability, with properly equipped hybrid models offering a maximum towing capacity of up to 4,000 pounds when fitted with the appropriate towing package.
That combination of AWD, strong fuel economy, and useful towing capacity makes the 2027 Maverick Hybrid an unusually versatile choice for buyers who want truck utility without the fuel costs and dimensions of a traditional midsize or full-size pickup.
Which 2027 Ford Maverick trims will be available?
The 2027 Ford Maverick is set to come in five distinct trim levels: the budget-friendly XL, the popular XLT, the Lariat, the off-road Tremor, and the street truck-inspired Lobo. The entry-level XL emphasizes affordability and utility while still providing LED headlights, cloth seating, and a standard 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen. The XLT is the value-focused step up, adding features such as alloy wheels, upgraded interior materials, and additional convenience equipment. For buyers prioritizing comfort and technology, the Lariat moves the Maverick further upmarket with features such as dual-zone climate control and an available or included Bang & Olufsen premium audio system, depending on final 2027 specifications. The five-trim lineup is consistent with current expectations for the 2027 model.
Is the 2027 Ford Maverick Worth Looking Into?
Overall, the Maverick looks to be a really strong competitor for the upcoming 2027 model year, and if you're looking to see what it could do for you, make sure to keep Jarrett-Gordon Ford Winter Haven in mind as we're sure to have the 2027 Maverick when it hits lots later this year!
