The 2022 Ford Maverick Phoenix is coming soon, and pickup truck enthusiasts are wondering how it differs from the Ford Ranger. Here’s what we know so far. Feel free to contact us with your questions.
What’s the Difference Between the 2022 Ford Maverick and the Ford Ranger?
First, let’s answer the questions on every person’s mind who hears about the new smaller Ford truck. Is it just the pricetag? No, there are other differences. However, the Maverick’s MSRP is just under $20,000 while the Ranger’s MSRP starts off just over $25,000.
Second, is the Maverick really Built Ford Tough? Absolutely. The Maverick may be compact, but it has a sturdy unibody construction. Compact, it has the tightest turning diameter of any midsize truck. If you are regularly darting in and out of busy Phoenix streets, you’ll find this truck is easier to maneuver.
Maverick vs Ranger Truck Engine Output
The 2022 Phoenix Maverick will be the first pickup truck in America to have a STANDARD hybrid powertrain. The 2021 Ford Ranger comes with one of the most powerful engines in a midsize truck today, but it is still remarkably fuel efficient. So you can definitely say that they have efficiency in common.
The Ranger boasts one of the lowest, if not the lowest, ownership costs among midsize trucks. That’s due to its money-saving fuel economy. It earns 21 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. Now the Maverick hybrid can claim the best ownership costs with its 40-mpg fuel economy. That’s a 500-mile range for the 2022 Ford Maverick Phoenix owner.
The standard Ranger engine generates 270 horsepower whereas the Maverick will be offering a hybrid powertrain that generates 191 horsepower. If you make some comparisons, you’ll find that the new truck’s horsepower surpasses some gas-powered midsize trucks by other manufacturers. Find out more about Ranger pricing.
For the Maverick, you can also choose a standard EcoBoost engine that generates 250 horsepower. While the Ranger’s torque rate is 310 pound-feet, the Maverick’s will be 277 pound-feet as its most capable. Ford is making it possible for you to reserve a Maverick now.
Maverick vs Ranger Pickup Truck Capability
The Ranger tows up to 7,500 pounds while the Maverick can tow either 2,000 pounds or 4,000 pounds depending on the powertrain. Either truck would need the Trailer Tow Package to get maximum capability. The standard payload limit is 1,500 pounds.
The Maverick’s 4.5-foot bed is smaller than the Ranger’s standard 5-foot bed. To make the most of the space, the Flexbed system comes with six or ten tie-down spots, depending on the trim level. Find out more about the Maverick price.
Maverick vs Ranger Pickup Truck Trim Levels
Both trucks will come in XL, XLT and Lariat trim levels, but this does not mean that the standard lists are the same. Safe to say, there will be plenty of high tech infotainment on both vehicles, and many amenities will be the same or similar. However, the Maverick price point rules out some amenities. For instance, the Ranger Lariat comes with leather seats whereas the ActiveX Desert Brown seats in the Maverick Lariat are made of premium vinyl.
With all of this in mind, we can heartily recommend the 2022 Ford Maverick. It represents a new way to drive Ford Tough. Just as the Ranger made waves a few years ago, we expect the Maverick to set new standards of what a smaller truck can do. When will the Maverick be available? Click Here.
