What Makes the Ford Maverick Unique?

At Erinwood Ford, our team has seen how the Ford Maverick stands out as a compact pickup with advanced tech and smart design. It brings the flexibility of a small truck to drivers in Mississauga, while offering practical features that no crossover or SUV matches.

Compact size with full-size capability

Our team at Erinwood Ford knows the Ford Maverick offers true versatility. This compact pickup measures only 507 centimetres long but still handles big jobs. The Maverick’s spacious cargo bed easily fits camping gear, tools, or home improvement supplies.

Its small footprint helps you maneuver city streets and squeeze into tight parking spots.

Despite its size, the Maverick can tackle full-size tasks. You get a truck that hauls loads and tows trailers using impressive towing capacity for its class. Customers appreciate how this unibody build saves fuel without sacrificing strength or space in the cabin or trunk area.

The flexible design suits both daily commutes and bigger projects around Mississauga or anywhere in Canada.

Hybrid powertrain option

With a compact size comes another major benefit: the Ford Maverick offers a strong hybrid powertrain option. The 2.5-litre hybrid engine delivers a combined output of 191 horsepower and uses an automatic continuously variable transmission for smooth city driving.

Real-world fuel consumption impresses many drivers who want to save money at the pump in Canada. The Ford Maverick Hybrid achieves about 5.6 L/100 km in city traffic, while highway rates are around 7.1 L/100 km.

This level of fuel efficiency often beats most traditional pickup trucks and even rivals many smaller sedans like the Hyundai Ioniq or Kia Niro PHEV hatchback.

The available hybrid drivetrain makes this truck perfect for everyday errands across Mississauga as well as weekend adventures outside the city limits. Many shoppers pick this model for its impressive mileage without sacrificing cargo space or capability found in bigger pickups like the Ford F-150 or GMC Sierra.

At Erinwood Ford, our team sees more customers choosing the Maverick Hybrid every year since it hit Canadian showrooms because it blends value with true utility on any road—city or country—to fit your lifestyle with confidence.

Affordable starting price

The Ford Maverick starts at an attractive price for the base XL trim. This gives you a new compact truck that fits many budgets in Canada. For this price, you get features like Apple CarPlay, automatic emergency braking, and a hybrid powertrain with impressive fuel economy—up to 6.3 L/100 km in city driving.

This affordable entry point lets more drivers enjoy great capability without stretching their wallets. Our team at Erinwood Ford helps qualified customers access easy financing options on approved credit, so you can drive home your next pickup today.

You get real value and modern tech in every Ford Maverick we offer, says Dave Raymond.

Let’s take a closer look at the performance and efficiency of the Ford Maverick lineup for Canadian roads.

Performance and Efficiency

Our team at Erinwood Ford knows drivers want both strength and savings. The Ford Maverick’s powertrains deliver quick acceleration, smooth automatic transmission, and fuel efficiency that beats many other trucks in Canada.

Engine options: Hybrid and EcoBoost

Ford Maverick models in Canada feature two strong engine choices. The standard hybrid powertrain pairs a 2.5-litre Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder with an electric motor, giving drivers a combined system output of 191 horsepower and a peak torque of 210 Newton-meters.

This setup delivers excellent Ford Maverick fuel economy for city driving, making it one of the most fuel-efficient trucks on the market.

For more power, choose the available 2.0L EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine. It boosts your drive to 250 horsepower and comes paired with an advanced eight-speed automatic transmission.

Drivers can select either front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive for better handling on Ontario roads. Both engines offer standout performance compared to other compact trucks like the Toyota Highlander or Bronco Sport competitors in their class.

Impressive fuel economy ratings

Our team at Erinwood Ford sees real value in the Maverick’s fuel savings. The hybrid model leads its class with 5.6 L/100km in city driving, which equals 5.6 L/100km and helps lower your gas bills across Canada.

On the highway, it reaches about 7.1 L/100km, making it stand out from other compact trucks.

EcoBoost engine options also deliver strong fuel numbers for shoppers who want more power without losing efficiency. Our Mississauga customers find this mix of performance and economy hard to match in rivals like the Ford Ranger or Rivian R1T.

These ratings give you fewer stops at the pump and help you save money long-term behind the wheel of a Canadian Ford Maverick from Erinwood Ford.

Smooth handling for city and highway driving

The Ford Maverick’s curb weight helps it feel stable and easy to steer on city streets or highways. The suspension absorbs bumps well, even when carrying groceries or tools in the bed.

With a strong shifter and tight steering, parking is simple, and turning feels secure at any speed.

The 2.0L EcoBoost engine gives plenty of power for quick passes and merging into fast traffic. This compact truck moves from 0 to 100 km/h in just about 5.9 seconds, making it agile in busy areas around Mississauga, Ontario.

All-wheel drive models offer extra grip on wet or snowy roads common across Canada.

“Every Maverick sold at Erinwood Ford balances comfort with confidence behind the wheel,”—Dave Raymond
