The all-new 2022 Ford Maverick is the baby of the Ford pickup family and it features a unibody design and a standard hybrid powertrain. Smaller than the Ford Ranger, it is still capable for most pickup truck buyers.

Interior
The 2022 Ford Maverick will give you the best of both worlds – compact on the outside, but still big enough on the inside to seat five and store the stuff you need. A 4.5-foot bed, multi-position tailgate, and available smart storage solutions will support all your big projects. There is ample leg room for front and rear passengers with its unibody design and by minimizing the center front console. A mix between robust, tough-looking surfaces in high traffic areas and hard, hollow plastic, where they should be, helps keep Maverick’s price lower.
