2027 Ford Maverick: Engines and Specifications of Every Version

The 2027 Ford Maverick continues to demonstrate that a compact pickup can be economical, practical and genuinely capable. Its manageable dimensions make it easy to use in urban settings, yet its five-passenger SuperCrew cab, useful FLEXBED and available all-wheel-drive systems give it the versatility expected of a truck.

The powertrain range centres on two four-cylinder choices: a 2.5L full-hybrid system and a turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost engine. The important difference between Maverick versions is not simply the amount of power. Each model combines its engine with a particular transmission, drivetrain and chassis mission, moving from efficient everyday transportation to street performance or trail-focused capability.

2027 Ford Maverick lineup at a glance

Ford’s Canadian consumer site was still transitioning its principal Maverick specification page from 2026 to 2027 when this guide was prepared. The core engine outputs and capacities below are the latest figures published by Ford Canada; final equipment and availability should be verified for a specific 2027 vehicle.

2.5L full hybrid: efficiency without giving up truck utility

The 2.5L hybrid combines an Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine, an electric motor and a power-split electronic continuously variable transmission. Total system output is 191 horsepower. The electric component contributes immediate response at lower speeds, while the transmission delivers power without conventional stepped gear changes.

Front-wheel drive provides the simplest, efficiency-oriented configuration, while available all-wheel drive expands the Maverick’s appeal for Canadian winters and unpaved roads. Hybrid AWD can also be combined with the available 4K Tow Package in eligible configurations, a significant advantage for owners who want efficiency during the week and added trailer capability on weekends.

Key reasons to consider the hybrid include:

• Smooth operation in stop-and-go traffic
• Available all-wheel drive for four-season confidence
• Seating for five in every version
• Up to 1,814 kg (4,000 lb) of towing when properly configured
• The useful dimensions and versatility of the standard FLEXBED 

2.0L EcoBoost: stronger acceleration and specialized capability

The available turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder develops 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. In most applications it works with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. This is the choice for drivers who prioritize stronger acceleration, robust passing response or the specialized hardware found on the Lobo and Tremor.

The Lobo uses the EcoBoost with a seven-speed quick-shift transmission and Advanced AWD. Its lower 127-mm ride height, torque-vectoring capability and dedicated Lobo drive mode give it a distinctly street-oriented personality. It is a compact pickup designed to feel engaging on pavement while retaining the Maverick’s everyday usefulness.

The Tremor takes the same turbocharged engine in the opposite direction. Advanced 4WD, greater 231-mm ground clearance, all-terrain tires and trail-focused chassis equipment make it the natural option for drivers who regularly travel beyond maintained pavement.

Useful truck specifications shared across the range

Every Maverick uses a four-door SuperCrew body with seating for five and a single compact cargo bed. Ford lists approximately 943 litres of bed volume. The bed measures about 1,382 mm long, with 1,082 mm of width between the wheel housings, providing a practical space for renovation supplies, sports equipment or camping gear.

Standard maximum towing capacity is 907 kg. Properly equipped Maverick configurations with the available 4K Tow Package can tow up to 1,814 kg. Maximum available payload reaches 680 kg, although the precise figure varies with the vehicle’s engine, drivetrain, passengers and installed equipment.

Choosing the right Maverick version

The XL emphasizes value and the fundamentals that make the Maverick useful. The XLT opens the door to broader equipment and powertrain combinations. Lariat adds comfort and technology without abandoning the efficiency of the hybrid system. Lobo is for drivers who want a sharper street character, while Tremor is engineered for more demanding trails.

That variety is the Maverick’s central strength. Buyers do not have to choose between an efficient commuter and a practical pickup; they can select a version that leans toward efficiency, premium comfort, paved-road performance or off-road ability. Reliable Ford can confirm the final Canadian-market equipment, towing package and drivetrain combination for each incoming 2027 Maverick.
