2024 Ford Maverick Engine Specifications

Choose between two potent inline four-cylinder (I4) engine options for the 2024 Ford Maverick. Standard with each trim is the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This gas engine makes 250 horsepower and can get up to 30 MPG on the highway when you pair the model with front-wheel drive (FWD). For additional traction, the EcoBoost engine is also available with all-wheel drive (AWD) or advanced four-wheel drive (4WD).

Your other option is the 2.5L hybrid engine — a combination Atkinson cycle I4 engine plus a 94-kilowatt permanent magnet electric traction motor paired with an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT). Fuel economy with the Maverick hybrid rockets up to 42 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway. Unlike the EcoBoost engine, FWD is the single drivetrain option for the hybrid.

2024 Ford Maverick Tow Capacity

Put the 2024 Ford Maverick to work with confidence in its robust towing capacity. In their standard configurations, the EcoBoost and hybrid engines can both tow up to 2,000 pounds. Boost the towing capacity of your Maverick up to 4,000 pounds by adding the available 4K Tow Package to models equipped with the EcoBoost engine and AWD.

Among the key features in the available 4K Tow Package, you get:

• Trailer brake controller
• Trailer hitch receiver with seven-pin connector
• Transmission oil cooler
• Higher capacity radiator
• Upgraded cooling fan
• Upgraded drive ratio

See the towing capacity for each Maverick engine in the following chart.

2024 Ford Maverick Payload Capacity

Need it? Bring it in the 2024 Ford Maverick. Make use of the 33.3 cubic feet of bed cargo space to haul up to 1,500 pounds of payload with either the EcoBoost or hybrid engine. When you equip a gas engine-powered Maverick with the optional Tremor® Off-Road Package, the maximum payload capacity drops slightly to 1,200 pounds.

2024 Ford Maverick Productivity

The engine you pick for your truck is only part of the equation when it comes to getting stuff done. That’s why Ford engineered the 2024 Maverick with a wide range of productivity-enhancing features. Every trim comes with two 12-volt pre-wired connections in the bed. Additionally, higher trim levels offer two 110-volt/400-watt outlets — one in the bed and one in the cab — so you can plug in your laptop or rechargeable power tools before, during, and after your workday. The power for these outlets will work whether you have the truck’s engine running or with the accessory position enabled on the key. And for those early mornings or late nights as you finish up your projects, the available LED box lighting provides a helpful touch.

2024 Ford Maverick Versatility

Whether you use your truck for towing, hauling, or outdoor adventures, the 2024 Ford Maverick is designed to thrive. Inside the cabin, you can keep all your gear organized with large door pocket storage compartments and rear under-seat storage with 2 cubic feet of space in the hybrid models and 2.6 cubic feet with the gas engine.

Turning to the truck bed, the Maverick features the innovative FLEXBED®. Among the highlights of this versatile design are slots molded into the bed that allow you to create customized do-it-yourself bed dividers. The multi-position tailgate, which opens both fully and halfway, allows you to accommodate a wider range of cargo items in the 4.5-foot bed. Six cargo tie-downs are standard, and ten are available. The tie-downs in the tailgate work as bottle openers, too. Tuck straps or other essential gear into the available cubby storage on the passenger’s side of the bed.

The adventures don’t have to end in the 2024 Ford Maverick when the road does. Consider adding optional packages like the Tremor Off-Road Package for an off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, and skid plates. Or, go with the FX4® Off-Road Package for all-terrain tires, off-road tuned shocks, beefy skid plates, and a performance suspension.

When you add either of these packages, your drive modes include:

• Normal
• Tow/haul
• Slippery
• Mud and ruts
• Sand
