Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the towing stability still impresses passengers.

2026 Ford Maverick review
Ford Maverick: capability first, comfort close behind. Illustrative review
7.8/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Ford Maverick is a strong contender in its class. Cab is quiet at highway speed; strong tow and payload ratings for the class. Upper trims get expensive quickly and fuel economy drops sharply when towing, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $29,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

The towing stability is the standout. My only gripe is the fuel bill when towing, which I knew going in.
