The Maverick features the FLEXBED system, which provides 33 cubic feet of total cargo volume and is designed for high levels of user customization. The bed measures 53.3 inches in total width, with a width between the wheel wells of 42.6 inches, allowing it to accommodate standard building materials. Ford engineered the bed with specific pockets that allow business owners to use 2x4 or 2x6 pieces of lumber to create DIY dividers, tiered storage, or custom bike and tool racks without needing expensive aftermarket hardware.

Standard 12V electrical leads are pre-wired into the bed, providing a power source for additional lighting or small electronic tools. This feature is particularly useful for service providers who need to work late into the evening or in poorly lit areas, as it allows for the easy installation of LED bed lighting. The bed also includes multiple tie-down points and D-rings, which are essential for securing pressurized tanks, compressors, or loose equipment during transport across town.

For businesses that require extra protection for their cargo, we offer several factory-installed options. The Tonneau Pickup Box Cover - Soft Folding is available for $600 and offers a lightweight solution for keeping debris and rain out of the bed. For those who frequently leave equipment in the truck overnight, the hard-shell options provide an extra layer of security. The cargo area's 4'5" length is optimized for a compact footprint while still providing enough depth to hold large storage bins or professional-grade coolers.

Choosing the right powertrain is a decision between the high-efficiency 2.5L I4 hybrid and the higher-torque 2.0L I4 EcoBoost engine. The standard hybrid powertrain, paired with an Automatic transmission on the XL or a CVT on the XLT and Lariat, delivers an EPA-rated 40 city / 34 hwy MPG. For a small business in Kent with a high-mileage urban route, these fuel economy figures can lead to significant reductions in operating costs over the life of the vehicle.

The 2.0L I4 EcoBoost engine, found in the Lobo Standard, Lobo Premium, and Tremor, is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. While the hybrid excels in stop-and-go traffic, the EcoBoost is better suited for businesses that frequently tow near the 4,000 lb limit or operate in hilly terrain where extra torque is required. The Lobo Standard, priced at $37,990, offers 22 city / 32 hwy MPG, providing a balance of performance and reasonable efficiency for highway-heavy work schedules.

Reliability is a core component of the Maverick's value, backed by a New Vehicle Limited Warranty of 3 years / 36,000 miles and a corrosion warranty on aluminum panels for 5 years / unlimited miles. This manufacturer support provides peace of mind for business owners who cannot afford vehicle downtime. For operations in colder climates, adding the Engine Block Heater for $190 ensures the truck is ready to start immediately on freezing mornings, protecting the engine from unnecessary wear during cold starts.
