2022 Ford Maverick Lariat: All You Need To Know

2022 Ford Maverick Lariat: All You Need To Know! The 2022 Ford Maverick and the 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz kick off a new class of compact pickup trucks.

Finally, the nation’s premier truck manufacturer has returned to the compact pickup market, with Ford unveiling its Maverick pickup.

Ford’s new one, which launches in 2021, sits beneath the Ranger medium-size truck and F-150 full-size truck in the Ford lineup.

Analyzed Review

Ford’s new delivers truck-like capabilities without the enormousness of a full-size F-150 or a Chevy Silverado.

Visibility is excellent, and maneuvers that would be strenuous in larger pickups, such as getting in between two parked cars or parallel parking, are easier on the Maverick. Behind the wheel of Fords newest vehicle, you drive along with traffic instead of looming above it.

Handling is definitely good on the Maverick pickup. Things are a bit less rosy with all-wheel-drive, EcoBoost versions of the Ford Maverick, such as the Lariat I drove, but this is far from a disaster.

The 2022 Ford Maverick is the only truck for sale with the standard four-cylinder, 2.5-liter Hybrid Electric Motor.

2022 Ford Maverick Types

The Ford Maverick comes in three trim levels–XL, XLT, and Lariat–and each one can come equipped with a hybrid four-cylinder configuration or the EcoBoost turbocharged engine.

Our 2022 Ford Maverick First Edition has an updated 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo EcoBoost engine making 250 horsepower, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.

2022 Ford Maverick Lariat Features

Our 2022 Ford Maverick First Edition had all of the upgrade goodies, such as the impressive Bang & OIufsen eight-speaker audio system, active-x vinyl (not leather) seats, larger 6.5-inch (versus 4.2-inch in the base model), a sunroof, and wireless charging.

The bright red paint, black 17-inch wheels, and black accents of the First Edition package added a bit of pizzazz, but the 2022 Ford Maverick is still a truck that wants to do truck things.

Its 1500-pound cargo-hauling capability and 4,000-pound hauling capability make the midsize truck, whose maximum hauling capability is rated at 7,700 pounds, feel like a world-class towing machine.

Power Eight-way Adjustable Seat with power lumbar driver and six-way adjustable manual passenger seat feature.

 You can enjoy the comfort and style of these desert brown ActiveX premium vinyl seats, standard on the Maverick Lariat

18-inch Bright Aluminum Wheel

 Standard on the 2022 Ford Maverick Lariat

 6.5 Inch Instrument Cluster Screen

You can have this feature enjoyed while you upgrade your instrument cluster with the LARIAT model or FX4 Off-road package on the XLT model

2022 Ford Maverick Lariat Pricing

What is impressive about Ford’s pricing strategy is that the range from a $19,995 base Ford Maverick model all the way up to a Lariat is a little more than $6,000.

Both the base and the high-end Ford Maverick models are priced lower than not only the Hyundais Santa Cruz lineup but all the other trucks on the market.

The subcompact pickup truck segment is not actually a thing just yet, but Ford’s newest Doe has some competition in the form of the equally-new Hyundai Santa Cruz.
