Ford Maverick Lightning 2023

The brand-new 2024 Ford Maverick Lightning is reportedly on the way. It is an all-electric version with more power and more luxury. This small pickup became an instant hit thanks to its affordable price and efficient hybrid powertrain. Now, it is time to introduce a fully electric variant. Blue Oval already filed a trademark for the Maverick Lightning name, which is great to hear. Of course, we expect a similar setup like in the F-150 Lightning model. On the other hand, some parts of the pickup will have to depart from the F-150 truck. While we are waiting for the official debut, here’s everything you need to know about this model.

As this model is not official yet, styling will remain a mystery for some time. The 2024 Ford Maverick Lightning has been rendered recently. The renderings are plausible, as the regular Maverick is a brand-new model. Surely, the electric version will gain a couple of improvements, but it won’t depart from the original idea.

We are waiting to see things such as new wheels, a closed-off grille, and a new lighting signature. Like the base version, this one will also feature exterior colors such as Area 51, Cyber Orange, and Velocity Blue. So far, we have seen electric pickup trucks, but Maverick Lightning will be smaller, which is another highlight. The regular Maverick pickup has a 121-inch wheelbase and is 199.7 inches long. And while Maverick is an affordable pickup, its interior is very impressive. The upcoming 2024 Ford Maverick Lightning should feature even more luxury, per reports. The current version provides a very functional cabin with user-friendly high-tech features, including a standard 8-inch touchscreen. Like any other EV, this one will also gain more technology.

Although the nameplate originally was used on a less-than-stellar compact car line in the 1970s, Ford has revived the Maverick name for its new small pickup truck and has slotted it into the lineup below the mid-size Ranger. This time, the Maverick is an impressive package worthy of an Editors’ Choice award. Instead of sharing parts and mechanicals with the Ranger, the Maverick rides on the same chassis as the Bronco Sport compact crossover. The standard powertrain is a hybrid setup that consists of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, an electric motor, a continuously variable automatic transmission, and a front-wheel drive. Ford also offers all-wheel drive, but only with the optional nonhybrid turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. All models sport the same four-door crew cab body style with a 4.5-foot bed. The Maverick is part of a new class of small pickup trucks that Hyundai is also entering with the upcoming Santa Cruz. Ford offers the Maverick in three trims—XL, XLT, and Lariat—with the XL being the best choice for keeping the price down as low as possible. It lacks basic creature comforts that most buyers consider necessities, but would be good for use as a work truck. Going with the XLT adds 17-inch aluminum wheels, cruise control, a power lock for the tailgate, power exterior mirrors, and more, making it a value-oriented model. Rather than start with the Bronco Sport’s turbocharged three-cylinder engine as the standard powertrain, Ford has gone hybrid with the Maverick’s base powertrain. All trims come standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that’s assisted by an electric motor for a combined 191 hp. This setup only comes with a front-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic transmission. Buyers can opt for a nonhybrid powertrain as well, which swaps in a spunky 250-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder and eight-speed automatic transmission; all-wheel drive is optional with this powertrain. On the road, the Maverick feels downright peppy with the optional turbo four and at our test track, it reached 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. The hybrid powertrain is less perky and needed 7.7 seconds to reach 60 mph in our testing, but it nonetheless gets the job done. To provide its impressive payload capacity, the Maverick’s suspension is fairly stiff which leads to a somewhat rough ride over broken pavement. Once we get a chance to test the Maverick at our test track, we’ll update this story with results even with the base hybrid powertrain, the Maverick offers 1500 pounds of payload capacity and 2000 pounds of towing capacity. With the turbocharged four-cylinder and the optional Towing Package, the Maverick can tow up to 4000 pounds. Looking to tow even more with a small pickup? The Santa Cruz is rated to tow up to 5000 pounds.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

The EPA estimates that hybrid variants of the Maverick are good for 42 mpg city and 33 mpg highway; the nonhybrid is rated for 23 mpg city and 30 mpg highway with front-wheel drive and 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway with all-wheel drive. On our 75-mph highway, fuel economy route, our all-wheel-drive XLT Fx4 model with the nonhybrid powertrain matched its 29 mpg EPA rating, but the hybrid was off the EPA’s mark with only a 30 mpg result.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

All Mavericks are crew cabs, which means four full-sized doors and a fairly roomy back seat. Ford has incorporated many storage cubbies and bins throughout the cabin, including some large areas under the rear seat. Base models are far from plush, but do offer standard niceties such as a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, remote keyless entry, and adjustable lumbar support for the front seats. More features are offered as standard or part of option packages on the XLT and Lariat trims and include dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient interior lighting, and power front seats. Ford says the Maverick’s 4.5-foot bed can fit up to 18 sheets of 4x8-foot three-quarter-inch plywood without having to load them at an angle. The bed also features a 12-volt power point, with a 110-volt outlet offered as an option. An 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system is standard on all Maverick trims. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard features and even the base model comes with an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot. Options include SiriusXM satellite radio, an upgraded B&O Play stereo system, and wireless smartphone charging capability. The Maverick offers several driver-assistance features but many of the most sought-after items will require an option package or springing for a more expensive trim.

 Key safety features include: The Maverick offers the same standard warranty package as other new Fords, which is fairly basic and offers no complimentary scheduled maintenance program. Most likely, a bigger screen will be on offer, along with Ford’s Blue Cruise hands-free system. We don’t know anything regarding the trim levels, but Maverick Lightning will surely provide a high level of comfort in each trim level. Cargo space is impressive for compact pickup and the EV variant will provide even more space. Most likely, a bigger screen will be on offer, along with Ford’s Blue Cruise hands-free system.
