The Ford Maverick compact pickup returns for 2026 with its winning blend of rugged capability and eye-catching good looks. Let's take a closer look at some of the exterior highlights of this impressive pickup.
Across all trims, the 2026 Maverick comes well-equipped with stylish and functional exterior features. Auto high beam headlamps provide excellent visibility, while a rear view camera makes backing up and navigating tight spaces a breeze. The 17-inch wheels are standard on most trims, with a compact spare tire stored conveniently underbody. Front tow hooks and a trailer hitch receiver with four-pin connector are also available for your towing needs.
Moving up from the base XL to the mid-range XLT and luxurious Lariat, you'll find some notable exterior upgrades. The XLT sports 17-inch Carbonized Gray-painted aluminum wheels for a bolder look. The Lariat impresses with standard 19-inch machined-face painted aluminum wheels, LED projector headlamps, and body-colored power heated mirrors. A power moonroof is optional on XLT and Lariat to let in extra light and fresh air.
The 4.5-foot bed is ready for workday hauling or weekend getaways. An available spray-in or drop-in bedliner protects against scratches and dings, while a manual retractable hard tonneau cover or soft folding option keeps cargo out of sight. The tailgate locks for added security and includes tie-downs for securing your gear. On the Lariat and up, box lighting makes it easy to load up after dark.
