Evidently, the mechanical bits and pieces haven’t changed much. As such, the 191-hp 2.5-liter engine retains the CVT transmission while the peppier 2.0-liter model gets an eight-speed auto ‘box.
Moving on to colors and packages, there’s a smorgasbord to choose from.
There are fourteen shades to choose from. Interestingly, Alto Blue ($495), Area 51, Carbonized Gray, and Cyber Orange cannot be had in conjunction with the Tremor Package. We’d opt for Hot Pepper Red ($495), as it underscores the adventurous and playful demeanor of the baby Ford truck.
The FX4 ($800) and Black Appearance ($1,645) packages both introduce a bevy of accessories to the Maverick. Both are only made available on the XLT and Lariat models, but the former must be specified in conjunction with all-wheel drive. If you’ve selected advanced four-wheel drive, the $2,995 Tremor Off-Road package is automatically specified and, therefore, the aforementioned options can’t be selected.
