There’s no better pickup for work or play than the 2024 Ford Maverick. From its city-friendly design to its versatile bed and tailgate, this compact truck is the perfect choice for city dwellers, families, and adventure seekers. We bring you the innovative features of the new Ford Maverick.
4 Innovations in the 2024 Ford Maverick
1. City-Friendly Design
Whether you’re heading into Harrison on the daily commute or to run errands, the Maverick’s compact design has you covered. Measuring less than 200 inches, this small pickup is an advantage when navigating tight city streets or maneuvering into parking spaces, especially when parking is limited inside the city.
2. Mighty Haulage Ability
Despite its compact size, the Maverick has the strength to rival many larger pickups. The 53.3 x 54.3-inch truck bed has a 33.3 cubic feet capacity and a 1,500-pound payload. And, when you need more capacity for weekend getaways, your next tailgate party, DIY supplies, or work equipment, make use of the 4,000-pound towing capacity by hitching up a trailer.
3. Flexbed Storage Solution
Helping arrange everything in the rear is the FlexBed, Ford’s innovative storage system that turns the Maverick’s bed into a flexible space. Lower side walls make it easier to access the bed, and every item is within arm’s reach. Pocket doors integrated into the sides offer additional storage and are spacious enough to fit the equivalent of a 1.5-liter bottle.
Horizontal and vertical slots and grooves strategically positioned around the walls let you customize the bed’s layout by using 2×4 or 2×6 wooden boards to divide the rear into separate sections. And, six tie-downs ensure your cargo is securely tethered.
4. Multi-Position Tailgate
Ford’s multi-position tailgate is a true game-changer. Adjusted using two support cables, you can lock the tailgate in different positions depending on your needs. Lock the tailgate halfway to line it up with wheel wells and lay sheets of plywood, wooden planks, and other long items flat for transportation. Set the tailgate in the fully open position to create an extra-long bed. When flat, the tailgate also doubles as a useful work surface or a hub for tailgating, especially as the tie-downs feature handy bottle openers.
