Should You Buy a Ford Maverick Hybrid?
Always consider your needs and budget when deciding which vehicle to buy. With prices starting under $29,000, the Maverick hybrid is a versatile choice that offers the utility and capabilities of a full-size pickup on a smaller scale. This hybrid pickup is an attractive option if you want a vehicle that can handle urban commutes with commendable fuel efficiency and light-duty hauling with reduced environmental impact.
However, it may not be the best choice if you need to move heavier loads. The maximum Maverick payload is 1,500 pounds and it can tow up to 4,000 pounds. If you need to haul heavier loads and still want better fuel efficiency, consider a hybrid full-size pickup truck instead.
