The 2027 Ford Maverick continues to anchor the compact unibody pickup segment, blending daily city maneuverability with genuine utility. Following its mid-cycle styling and infotainment overhaul, the 2027 model year introduces focused packaging adjustments, streamlined drivetrain pairings, and refreshed cosmetic options.
Key Updates for 2027
- Drivetrain Streamlining: Front-wheel drive (FWD) is now exclusive to the hybrid powertrain. The 2.0L EcoBoost gas engine drops the FWD configuration entirely and is now locked to All-Wheel Drive (AWD) on select upper trims.
- Base Trim Powertrain: The entry-level XL trim transitions to a hybrid-only setup. Standalone Towing Option: The 4,000-lb (4K) Tow Package is unbundled from higher-tier tech suites, making heavy-duty cooling and gearing more accessible.
- Appearance & Colors: A new Bronze Appearance Package joins the XLT and Lariat trims. New exterior paint options include Neptune Blue, Gladwin Green, and Glacier Gray Tri-Coat.
