One of the more iconic cars made by our brand is the compact Ford Maverick hatchback, which was available in North and Central New Jersey from 1969 to 1977. Well, Ford teamed up with actress Gabrielle Union to show-off the all-new 2022 version of this nameplate that's a lot different from its predecessor!
For starters, the 2022 Ford Maverick marks our brand’s return to the compact truck market. Also add the fact that it’s the first-ever standard full-hybrid pickup with the use of a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder powertrain that’s projected to provide superior city fuel economy when compared to a Honda Civic.
2022 Ford Maverick Performance
The hybrid powertrain above not only delivers 191 hp & 155 lb/ft of torque, but is mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that allows for fuel economy rated at up to an EPA-estimated 40 mpg city and full-tank driving range of up to 500 miles. You'll also get enough power to handle 1,500 lbs of payload (or a standard ATV) and tow up to 2,000 lbs (enough for a pair of personal watercraft or a pop-up camper trailer).
Looking for more capability? Select 2022 Ford Maverick models coming to our Union County NJ dealership location will come with a 2.0L EcoBoost gas engine under the hood that delivers 250 hp & 277 lb/ft of torque and is paired with 8-speed automatic transmission and either FWD or AWD. The optional 4K Tow Package allows you to trailer up to 4,000 lbs or enough for an average 21-foot boat.
There are also 5 standard drive modes to choose from to enhance the performance of your vehicle based on your current driving conditions including Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery and Tow/Haul. Optional modes like Mud/Rut and Sand are available to accommodate all of your driving needs on or off the road.
