The Ford Maverick is the best-selling hybrid pickup truck in America — and it’s no wonder. With its convenient, compact size, exceptional versatility, and strong fuel efficiency, the Maverick is a practical choice for many Sumter drivers. If you don’t need or want a midsize or full-size pickup truck, the Maverick is an ideal alternative! Although official specs have not been released yet, the 2027 Ford Maverick is expected to bring some noteworthy updates. What's New for the 2027 Ford Maverick? According to Car and Driver, the upcoming 2027 Ford Maverick’s powertrain options have been rearranged in the lineup, so now shoppers have the following 2027 options to choose from: XL: Hybrid engine only XLT: Your choice of hybrid engine or turbocharged gas engine Lobo: Turbocharged gas engine only Lariat: Hybrid engine only Tremor: Turbocharged gas engine only For 2026, the XL, XLT, and Lariat offer the option of the hybrid engine or the turbocharged gas engine, while the Lobo and Tremor only offer the turbocharged gas engine. According to Car and Driver, the hybrid powertrain in the 2027 Ford Maverick, which pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, delivers a combined 191 horsepower. The available 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers 250 horsepower. The hybrid powertrain is matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), while the gas engine is matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Another update for the 2027 Ford Maverick is the addition of the available Bronze Appearance Package, according to Ford Authority. This package, which we’ll highlight below, offers striking bronze and black design elements for drivers who want their Ford truck to stand out even more. Ford Authority also mentions that the SecuriCode keypad makes a return as a factory-installed option. Not only that, the 4K Tow Package is now a standalone option for the entire 2027 Maverick lineup — so now you won’t have to also add the Ford Co-Pilot360 bundle like you would if you wanted the tow package in the 2026 Maverick. According to Ford Authority, the 4K Tow Package includes the following features: Trailer Brake Controller Class III Trailer Hitch with 2-inch Receiver 4-Pin Connector 7-Pin Connector Transmission Oil Cooler Upgraded Cooling Fan Conventional 17-inch Spare Tire Meet the New 2027 Ford Maverick Bronze Package We’re excited about the addition of the available Bronze Appearance Package.
