What’s New for the 2026 Ford Maverick in Richardson, TX?
The 2026 Ford Maverick continues to redefine what a compact truck can be, combining efficiency, versatility, and technology in one smart package. Following last year’s updates, the 2026 Maverick carries over with the same winning formula that Texas drivers love. Whether you’re commuting through Richardson, hauling gear across Dallas County, or exploring off-road trails, the Maverick is built to handle it all with ease.
Ford keeps the lineup familiar with five trims: XL, XLT, Lobo, Lariat, and Tremor. Each offers its own balance of comfort, capability, and customization — perfect for everyone from first-time truck buyers to seasoned Ford enthusiasts.
How Does the 2026 Ford Maverick Perform?
The 2026 Maverick delivers impressive performance that blends fuel efficiency with utility. Two powertrain options are available to suit your driving style:
- The standard hybrid powertrain pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor to produce 191 horsepower — ideal for city driving or long commutes around North Texas.
- The available 2.0-liter EcoBoost® turbocharged engine cranks out 250 horsepower for quick acceleration and confident towing.
Select trims offer additional upgrades like:
- All-terrain tires and off-road suspension tuning for rugged performance
- Hill Descent Control and Trail Controlâ„¢ for precision off-roading
- Advanced AWD system and locking rear differential for maximum grip
From daily errands to weekend adventures, the Maverick proves that compact doesn’t mean compromise.
What Design and Exterior Features Stand Out?
The 2026 Ford Maverick blends utility with bold style. Its high-stance hood, raked windshield, and strong front fascia give it a sporty, modern appearance. The signature grille features a column-style mesh framed by comma-shaped LED headlights that illuminate every Texas back road.
Higher trims such as the Lobo and Tremor enhance the Maverick’s rugged aesthetic with details like skid plates, tow hooks, unique badging, and available 17- or 18-inch wheels. You can also outfit your truck with a spray-in bedliner, roof rails, and a trailer hitch package for added versatility.
What Interior Comfort and Technology Does the 2026 Maverick Offer?
Step inside the 2026 Ford Maverick, and you’ll find a cabin that’s as functional as it is comfortable. Even the base XL trim is well-equipped, featuring:
- 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration
- Cloth seating and a 6-speaker audio system
- Ford Co-Pilot360® safety suite, including lane-keeping assist and forward collision mitigation
As you move up the trims, the Maverick’s interior gets even more premium. The Lariat and Tremor models offer:
- Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Voice-activated navigation system with real-time traffic
- 360-degree camera and adaptive cruise control
- B&O® premium audio system with enhanced clarity for your favorite road-trip playlists
The Maverick’s compact footprint hides a remarkably spacious interior, offering clever storage options and seating flexibility perfect for everyday Texas living.
