The 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid is one of the most important trucks of 2021. Why? The Ford Maverick Hybrid is changing everything we thought we knew about trucks. Trucks don’t have to be hulking gas guzzlin’ powerhouses. The Maverick is teaching us that trucks can also be compact and fuel-efficient, and America is digging it.

America is showing love to the 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid

The 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid is essentially the opposite of what people consider as the quintessential truck. Compare the Maverick to best-selling trucks like the Ford F-150 or the Ram 1500. The Maverick is small, less comfortable, and less powerful than most great pickup trucks.

Instead of trying to be something it’s not, the Maverick focuses on its appealing factors and brings something new to the truck vehicle class. Aside from the Hyundai Santa Cruz, even most compact trucks aren’t comparable to the Maverick.

The Maverick is a unicorn in the automotive industry because of its size and standard hybrid powertrain. Despite all its differences, America is embracing the Blue Oval’s tiny hybrid pickup truck. According to Road Show by CNET, orders for the hybrid pickup truck are already nearly filled. The Maverick is expected to be sold out in early November, and won’t be available after that until the summer.

Why do people like the 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid?

Yes, the 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid is unconventional, but that’s what makes it so great. The Maverick boasts amazing fuel economy because of its standard hybrid powertrain. It gets a whopping 42 miles per gallon in the city and 33 miles per gallon on the highway.

Its fuel economy is just one of the few reasons why consumers are flocking to the Maverick. The new Ford truck is perfect for crowded cities because of its unique size. It is 200 inches long, 73 inches wide, and 69 inches high. It’s perfect for squeezing into tight parking spaces. Los Angeles and San Francisco account for a huge percentage of Maverick pre-orders, so other major American cities are likely to embrace the Maverick as well.

The Ford Maverick also provides amazing utility in the form of its customizable truck bed the Flexbed. The Flexbed uses pre-threaded holes as well as vertical and horizontal slots to help owners make their own bed setups. The Flexbed is perfect for carrying a bike, lumber, or anything else you want to carry in the bed as securely as possible.

Are American truck buyers ready to go hybrid?

Judging by the Maverick’s stellar pre-orders and current sales numbers, a small portion of Americans are in favor of hybrid trucks. The Maverick has been receiving overwhelming support despite being so unconventional compared to other trucks produced by the Blue Oval.

The Ford Maverick Hybrid and the Toyota Tundra Hybrid are the first of many new hybrid trucks in the automotive industry. The Maverick is likely to continue to enjoy great sales and convert new buyers into truck drivers because of its unique features and capabilities.
