Short answer: The 2027 Ford Maverick is not a redesign. Order guide reports show the XL and Lariat going hybrid-only, the EcoBoost limited to XLT AWD, Lobo and Tremor, and big cuts on Lobo ($32,155) and Tremor ($37,155), before destination. The XL hybrid stays at $28,145. Ford hasn’t published full 2027 specs.
The odd thing about the 2027 Maverick is that it got cheaper and more expensive at the same time. A Lobo reportedly costs thousands less than it did for 2026. The cheapest way into a turbo Maverick, meanwhile, costs thousands more.
Nothing mechanical appears to have changed. This year’s story is how Ford has reshuffled trims, engines and options, so the truck you want may now sit in a different spot on the price list. Here’s what we could verify, and what’s still unconfirmed. We haven’t driven a 2027, so everything below comes from published sources, listed at the end.
Key takeaways
- The XL can no longer be ordered with the turbo, and neither can the Lariat.
- The Lobo drops $3,775, the Lobo High $4,270 and the Tremor $3,490.
- Some of those savings are partly offset, because equipment such as the spray-in bedliner is now an extra-cost option.
- Caveat: these 2027 figures come from order guide reporting. Sources disagree on the XLT EcoBoost price, so check the window sticker.
What is confirmed and what is not
✓ Confirmed by Ford or the government
- All 2026 specs, from Ford’s spec sheet.
- 2026 starting prices, from Ford.com.
- 2026 fuel economy, from the EPA’s fueleconomy.gov.
- A 2027 Maverick owner support page exists on Ford’s site.
? Reported, not published by Ford
- 2027 prices, trim changes and option packages, all from order guide coverage.
- 2027 horsepower, torque, fuel economy and payload. A Ford dealer says the order guide lists these as preliminary.
- Ford’s reasoning. Its main Maverick page still showed the 2026 truck when we checked.
What’s new on the 2027 Ford Maverick?
The headline change is engine availability, and the rest is mostly packaging. Ford’s last real refresh came for 2025, with a new front end, a 13.2-inch center screen and hybrid AWD. According to Bowen Scarff, a Ford dealer summarizing the August 17 order guide, and Torque News’s look at the same guide, these are the 2027 changes:
- Fewer turbo choices: the EcoBoost stays on the XLT AWD, Lobo and Tremor only.
- A front-drive Lariat: a new FWD hybrid Lariat joins the lineup.
- Easier towing package: the 4K Tow Package no longer requires Co-Pilot360.
- FX4 changes: it now comes with the XLT EcoBoost and doesn’t need the XLT Luxury Package.
- Bronze Appearance Package: $1,595, with 19-inch bronze wheels and bronze accents, on the AWD hybrid XLT and Lariat.
- Keypad: the SecuriCode door keypad returns as a $250 factory option.
- Spare tire: a tire inflator and sealant kit is standard on XL, XLT, Lariat and Lobo, with a 17-inch spare optional.
- Colors: Neptune Blue, Gladwin Green and Glacier Gray are in. Azure Gray, Carbonized Gray, Marsh Gray and Space White are out.
How much does the 2027 Maverick cost?
The 2027 Maverick reportedly starts at $28,145 for the XL hybrid, plus a $1,845 destination charge. That base price matches the 2026 XL on Ford.com. All prices below exclude destination, options, taxes and dealer fees.

Why the XLT EcoBoost price needs a second look
Sources disagree on what the cheapest turbo Maverick costs. CarsDirect reported $30,745 for the XLT AWD with the EcoBoost, $3,600 above the $27,145 cheapest gas Maverick for 2026. Ford Authority repeated that figure.
But Bowen Scarff’s order guide table and Cars.com both attach $30,745 to the front-drive hybrid XLT. Bowen Scarff lists the EcoBoost XLT, code 302A with FX4 included, at $31,545. If that’s right, the jump from the cheapest 2026 gas truck is $4,400 by our math, though you also get FX4 hardware for it. CarsDirect also described its figure as $100 above the outgoing model, which is exactly the gap between Ford’s $30,645 start for the 2026 XLT hybrid and $30,745. So we lean toward the dealer’s number for the EcoBoost, but Ford hasn’t published either one. Ask for the sticker.
Watch our video on the price changes
Our video walks through who pays more, who saves and the options behind the price cuts. It was published September 26, so it uses the $30,745 XLT EcoBoost figure reported at the time. See the section above for the conflict we’ve found since.
Is there a catch behind the price cuts?
Partly, yes: some of what used to be included now costs extra, though the Lobo and Tremor still come out well ahead. Per the dealer’s order guide summary, the spray-in bedliner becomes a $525 option on Lobo, Lariat and Tremor. The $1,595 Lariat Luxury Package becomes optional on the Lariat, and the Tremor’s boxside and hood graphics are optional too.
Here’s our rough math, adding those listed options back:
- Lobo: $32,155 plus the bedliner is $32,680, still $3,250 under the 2026 start.
- Tremor: $37,155 plus the bedliner is $37,680, still $2,965 under the 2026 start, before any graphics.
- Lariat AWD: $37,155 plus the bedliner and Luxury Package is $39,275. That’s $1,185 more than the 2026 start.
Treat those as estimates, since other content may have moved too. Autoblog saw no major reductions in standard equipment, and for many Lobo and Tremor buyers that seems fair. The Lariat looks like the exception: it’s cheaper on paper only if you skip what used to come with it.
Also expect real trucks to cost more than these starting prices. Listing tracker Visor counted 506 new 2027 Mavericks for sale on November 1, with median asking prices of $30,960 for the XL, $36,512 for the XLT and $42,463 for the Lariat.
What engines does the 2027 Maverick have?
It keeps the same two engines: a 2.5-liter hybrid and a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo. The figures below are Ford’s 2026 numbers, used as a reference. The dealer’s summary notes no mechanical changes for 2027, but final ratings aren’t out, and fueleconomy.gov listed only 2026 trucks when we checked.

For most people the choice comes down to fuel. The FWD hybrid’s 38 mpg combined on regular beats any EcoBoost, and the turbo’s 250 hp comes with a recommendation for premium. If your driving is mostly commuting and errands, the hybrid is the easy pick. If you want the Lobo’s quicker-shifting street character or the Tremor’s off-road hardware, the turbo is your only option anyway.
How much can the 2027 Maverick tow?
Expect 2,000 pounds as standard and 4,000 pounds with the 4K Tow Package on eligible AWD trucks, if 2026’s ratings carry over. Ford hasn’t published a 2027 towing guide that we could find. Ford’s 2026 sheet gives both engines the same 4,000-pound maximum, so needing to tow doesn’t force you into the turbo.
The package is reportedly $995 for 2027 and available on the AWD XL hybrid, AWD XLT and AWD Lariat. It’s not on that list for the Lobo or Tremor, which Ford rated at 2,000 pounds for 2026. Those two also had the lowest 2026 payload ratings, so a sporty-looking trim can be the wrong truck for hauling. Our video’s towing section covers this too, and your door-jamb label has the final word on payload.
What features does each trim get?
Every Maverick shares the 13.2-inch center display with SYNC 4 and the FLEXBED storage system, plus an 8-inch digital cluster and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Above that, here’s how Ford describes the 2026 trims, with reported 2027 changes noted:
- XL: the basics, with 17-inch steel wheels. For 2027 it reportedly gains a standard perimeter alarm.
- XLT: adds Intelligent Access with push-button start, a 2K trailer hitch receiver and 17-inch aluminum wheels. The FX4 Off-Road Package brings upgraded suspension, skid plates and all-terrain tires.
- Lobo: the street truck, with paddle shifters, performance-tuned steering and suspension, and a torque-vectoring rear drive unit. It sits lower than a standard Maverick.
- Lariat: 19-inch wheels, a 360-degree camera, heated seats, mirrors and steering wheel, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist on 2026 trucks. Check which of these now depend on the optional Luxury Package.
- Tremor: advanced 4WD, a locking rear drive unit, off-road suspension and skid plates. For 2027 it reportedly includes the Lariat Luxury Package, which helps explain why it looks like strong value on paper.
Should you buy a 2026 or wait for a 2027?
You may not have to wait: Visor’s data shows 2027s listed since September 10 and most of them already on dealer lots. The better question is which deal fits the truck you want.
- You want the cheapest turbo, or a turbo Lariat: look at leftover 2026s. Those combinations are reportedly gone for 2027, and CarsDirect suggests the same for cheap gas-model shoppers.
- You want a Lobo or Tremor: price a 2027 first, then compare discounted 2026s. Ford.com showed $2,500 cash back on a 2026 Tremor when we checked, but that still leaves it at $38,145, above the reported 2027 start. Offers vary by ZIP code and change often.
- You want an XL hybrid: the starting price didn’t move, so go with whichever truck has the better deal and equipment.
- You want a Lariat: add up the options you’d actually order before calling the 2027 a saving.
One more check for any 2026: NHTSA lists seven recalls for the model year, including a park-module software fix and a front lower ball joint repair. Not every truck is affected, so run the VIN on NHTSA’s recall lookup before you sign. Repairs are free. NHTSA gives the 2026 AWD a 5-star frontal crash rating and a 4-star rollover rating, with no overall score and no side crash rating listed.
Who should consider this truck?
The Maverick makes the most sense if you want a truck bed without a full-size truck’s size or fuel bill. Think commuters, homeowners making hardware store runs and people towing a small trailer now and then.
It’s a weaker fit if you tow near the limit every week, need more than five seats or plan to carry heavy loads in a Lobo. And if an XL with a turbo was your plan, the 2027 lineup has reportedly moved on without you.
