There are many ways to begin an eco-friendlier life. Will you dive right in with an all-electric vehicle, or paddle toward the end goal with a hybrid truck? The F-150 Lightning and the Maverick will help you get started; but first, you must pick the model that serves your lifestyle’s demands better.
The Ford F-150 Lightning reinvents Ford’s flagship model in a new, electrifying way. Instead of a gas-fueled powertrain, this truck runs on battery power. Not just any battery, but dual permanent magnet synchronous motors that will have your heart racing.
Its standard-range battery generates 462 horsepower, while its extended-range battery delivers a heart-thumping 580 horsepower. Across the board, drivers will experience the instantaneous thrill of 775 lb-ft of torque.
We’ll let the numbers do even more talking. When properly equipped, the F-150 Lightning can tow up to 10,000 pounds. Go on, elevate your next vacation with a camper or boat. This model will fit in at any jobsite, too, thanks to its maximum 2,235-pound payload capacity. Say hello to your new 4-wheeled co-worker!
Are you wondering where the Ford Maverick got its name? It all starts under the hood. This truck is the epitome of a maverick since it’s the first pickup with a standard full-hybrid powertrain! Plus, it achieves a range of 500 miles on a single tank of gas!
So, what fuels this standout truck? A 2.5L hybrid engine buzzes under the hood and produces 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque. Drivers looking for more energy can opt for the available 2.0L EcoBoost® engine, which generates 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque.
This compact, hybrid truck can tow up to 2,000 pounds with its hybrid engine and 4,000 pounds with its EcoBoost® powertrain. Its 1,500-pound payload capacity means you can use this truck’s bed in several ways. Go on, explore the possibilities.
Beyond their enhanced efficiency, versatility is another major draw to the F-150 Lightning and the Maverick. These trucks come with useful cargo beds and storage compartments, so your time at work and at play can be equally successful.
In the back of the Maverick, you’ll find a FLEXBED® system. This allows you to add dividers and up to 10 cargo tie-downs to the bed, helping organize and secure your bikes, toolboxes, or other cargo. The bed itself is 4.5 feet, which gives you 33.3 cubic feet of storage space!
A multi-position tailgate is part of this FLEXBED® system. Leave the tailgate open as a workstation or party spot, in mid-position to haul longer items, or closed for item security.
The Ford F-150 Lightning tackles cargo a little differently. Its 5.5-foot bed delivers 52.8 cubic feet of space for whatever you need to carry from jobsite to jobsite or to your next adventure destination. Four cargo tie-downs come standard, so you can lock your larger items in place!
By removing the engine, the F-150 Lightning now has a Mega Power Frunk under its hood. This front trunk features four Pro Power Onboard 120-volt outlets and two USB ports, so you can power tools, a microwave, a laptop, and more.
When you’re not using this compartment as a power bank, you can use it for cargo! Dirty items are welcome, too, since the frunk has a drain. You can hose it down and watch the muck wash away. Here’s another idea! You can fill the frunk with ice and use it as a cooler at your next tailgate.
As you enjoy mile after mile behind the wheel of these efficient trucks, you can listen to your preferred entertainment. Whether that includes calling your best friend with the latest gossip, tuning in to your favorite podcast, or rocking out to your most recent playlist creation, the F-150 Lightning and the Maverick will keep you entertained.
Both trucks offer a SYNC® infotainment system, which will serve as your digital copilot. The F-150 Lightning comes standard with SYNC® 4, which comes with Enhanced Voice Recognition. The Maverick is available with the SYNC® 3 suite.
Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard on both models, so you can easily pair your phone to the central display.
Speaking of central displays, let's discuss these trucks’ offerings! The Maverick has an 8-inch touchscreen, while the F-150 Lightning has a 12-inch touchscreen or an available 15.5-inch display.
So, what are the benefits of a larger screen? One, the screen icons are bigger and easier to click on while driving. Two, you’ll experience better visibility. No more eye strain or second-guessing the information you’re seeing. Last is the wow factor. When people get into your truck, they’ll ooh and ahh at your infotainment screen’s vastness!
