Introduction The Ford Maverick goes into 2027 flying solo with its now even more famous name, and as the only vehicle left in its segment. The only other compact truck was the Hyundai Santa Cruz, but production ends for that compact truck in 2026. This makes the Maverick the last pickup standing come 2027. The Maverick losing its competition makes it an easy year for Ford as the truck is going into the new year relatively unchanged. You can expect the same fun filled truck that is the perfect mix of everyday driveability, efficiency and utility. Inventory Contact Key Takeaways Ford has not discontinued the Maverick and continues to sell the popular Maverick in 2027. The compact truck is not going to change much in the new year, and will be available for order in Fall or early Winter of 2026? The 2027 Ford Maverick pricing should start around $30,000 and can be north of $45,000 depending on the trim, engine and any creature comforts you need in your truck. Did Ford stop production on the Maverick? No, Ford has not stopped production on the Maverick, and it will receive a 2027 model. One of the newer additions/returns to the Ford lineup, it has sold so well that it has outplaced sales from the Hyundai Santa Cruz. The Maverick will now be the only compact truck on the market as the Santa Cruz will cease production after 2026 ( Kelley Blue Book). With the Maverick continuing to sell so well, there is not much need to change the formula, and if they continue to respond to consumer requests, it will continue to sell well. Ford just listened to consumers when it added the all wheel drive option to the hybrid powertrain instead of having it only on the gas only engine. The hybrid powertrain outputs 191 horses and displaces 2.5 liters. For this engine the numbers you want to hear are that it gets 42 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway. The other engine available on the Maverick is a turbo 2.0 liter that puts out 250 horses but only gets 23 mpg in the city and 33 mpg highway. Whether you prioritize hybrid capability or a more powerful combustion engine, the Maverick has an option for you. When to order a 2027 Ford Maverick? Ford tends to open order banks for the Maverick in the fall, and if you want your 2027 Maverick right out of the new year, we recommend ordering as soon as it is available. While you cannot yet order a 2027 Ford Maverick, we have plenty of new 2026 models on the lot that you can test drive and take home! If you want the next year model you can hold off and just give the 2026 model a drive to see if the compact truck works for you. While it is the perfect vehicle for a specific niche, the back row can be a bit small, so this can give you a chance to see if the Maverick or the Ranger works better for you. Is the Ford Maverick expensive? The Ford Maverick is priced competitively starting at around $30,000 MSRP with more creature comforts and higher trims taking the price north of $40,000. Car and Driver listed the 2026 Ford Maverick at $29,990 MSRP starting and the 2026 Hyundai Santa Cruz at $31,350 ( Car and Driver). It is also comparable to some of its other competitors, such as compact crossovers with the Ford Bronco Sport, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV-4 and Mazda CX-50 all starting around $33,000, and north of $30,000 ( Car and Driver). This makes it an attractive option as it has a similar size to a compact crossover, with a bit more overall length due to the size of the bed. This makes the Ford Maverick a bit cheaper than alternatives in 2026, and the prices should not increase by much come 2027. The Ford Maverick might be small and comparable to compact crossovers, it can still tow up to 4,000 pounds and has a payload of about 1,500 pounds. This means you can tow a jet ski, small utility trailers, dirt bikes, and more. Although you most likely are not buying the Maverick for its towing capacity, it just continues to add to the utility of your new compact truck! If you are a business owner, the Maverick has also become a popular fleet vehicle for its utility, cost and low gas cost as well. It provides a functional utility vehicle at a low cost for a wide variety of applications and businesses. Summary As pickups, SUVs, and even hatchbacks continue getting larger, the Ford Maverick remains a refreshing alternative for drivers who value efficiency, simplicity, and everyday capability. Ford has created a truck for people who want the versatility of a pickup without feeling like they have to sacrifice their entire fuel budget for a little extra utility.
