Many truck drivers think they need a massive truck when they need serious towing strength. However, the 2026 Ford Maverick Hybrid shouldn’t be overlooked even with its smaller footprint. Folsom Lake Ford shares what makes it practical for towing.
Robust Powertrain
The 2026 Ford Maverick Hybrid is powered by a 2.5-liter PowerBoost® full hybrid powertrain, which delivers up to 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque. It also includes selectable drive modes, so you can customize your power. It features Normal, Off-Road, Sport, Tow/Haul, Slippery, and Eco modes, when you need enhanced traction, efficiency, or towing power.
Towing Capacity
With standard power, the compact truck can tow up to 2,000 pounds. However, with the available 4K Tow Package, it’s even stronger. The package increases the truck’s towing capacity to an impressive 4,000 pounds and includes the following:
- Class III trailer hitch
- Two-inch receiver with 4-pin and 7-pin connectors
- Trailer brake controller
- Upgraded cooling fan
Smart Trailering Technology
To make the new Ford Maverick Hybrid even more practical, it’s equipped with smart trailering technology. Pro Trailer Hitch AssistTM displays guidelines on the cabin’s 13.2-inch center display to help you hook up with ease. After setting up your trailer measurements, Pro Trailer Backup AssistTM controls your steering wheel while you reverse and all you need to do is simply rotate a knob in the direction you choose. The truck also features BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Coverage), to help you confidently change lanes with your trailer in mind.
