Trucks are the obvious choice for people who need maximum utility from their daily driver. However, they're not always practical due to their fuel-thirsty engines, sizable space requirements, and higher price tags. That's why Ford created the Maverick. A true compact pickup, the Ford Maverick provides all the advantages of a truck—like an open cargo bed, multi-position tailgate, and a higher view of the road—in a more conveniently sized and fuel-efficient package. It's the truck for those who never knew they wanted one. And drivers from Dawsonville to Murphy, NC, can get the new Ford Maverick here at Blue Ridge North Georgia Ford.
Performance
The Ford Maverick's multiple powertrain options allow you to select the ideal blend of power, efficiency, and value for your Dahlonega drives. The standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine sends 191 horsepower to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission and enables towing and payload ratings of 2,000 and 1,500 pounds, respectively. It's perfect for small businesses, hobbyists, or anyone seeking everyday utility for light-duty tasks. And with an EPA-estimated 42 mpg in city driving, it boasts better efficiency than many small cars.
If you need something with more motivation under the hood, the Maverick offers an available 2.0-liter turbo-four (250 hp, 277 lb-ft) with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a 4,000-pound max tow rating. Turbocharged models can also equip an all-wheel-drive system for more surefooted control in low-traction situations.
Versatility
The Ford Maverick features a unique FlexBed™ cargo box. This handy organizational system lets you configure the bed to suit many purposes, with slotted rails, up to ten tie-downs, and multiple power outlets. The multi-position tailgate adds to the bed's versatility and offers an available bed extender, increasing its usable length from 4.5 to 6.0 feet.
Though technically a "compact" model, the Maverick's cabin is quite roomy. It sports a streamlined and modern aesthetic, spacious and comfortable passenger accommodations, and intuitively arranged controls. You'll also have several small-item storage solutions, including numerous bins and cubbies and lots of rear under-seat storage.
Technology and Safety
Ford equips all Maverick models with an 8-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Its seamless smartphone integration provides convenient and intuitive access to features like hands-free calls and messages, streaming and stored media, Google or Apple Maps, your phone's virtual assistant, and more. And no matter which trim you choose for your Blue Ridge travels, you'll enjoy enhanced confidence from driver-assist technologies like Forward Collision Warning, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, and a Rear View Camera. More Co-Pilot360™ driver aids are available depending on the trim level or package, including:
- Blind Spot Information System
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Lane-Keeping System
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go
- Lane Centering
- Evasive Steering Assist
