Many buyers mistakenly assume that a compact, highly efficient truck cannot handle real work. The 2026 Ford Maverick towing capacity proves that smart engineering can replace sheer size. For drivers in Canton, Texas, this vehicle offers the pulling power required for weekend recreation combined with a footprint that is incredibly easy to park at busy local events.
Let us examine the concrete figures and advanced technologies that make this compact pickup a standout performer.
| Engine Option | Drivetrain Options | Max Horsepower | Max Towing Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5L Hybrid | FWD or AWD | 191 hp | Up to 4,000 lbs |
| 2.0L EcoBoost | FWD or AWD | 238 hp | Up to 4,000 lbs |
| The biggest revolution in the Maverick lineup is the availability of All-Wheel Drive on the standard 2.5-liter Hybrid engine. Previously, buyers had to choose between the incredible fuel efficiency of the hybrid or the wet weather traction of the gas engine. Now, you get both. The hybrid powertrain delivers 191 horsepower and instant electric torque, providing smooth acceleration whether you are merging onto Interstate 20 or navigating city streets.
If your daily routine requires rapid highway passing power, the available 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged engine generates a robust 238 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. |

By default, the truck offers a standard towing capacity of 2,000 pounds, which is plenty for a small utility trailer or a riding lawnmower. However, when you equip the vehicle with the available 4K Tow Package, the maximum towing capacity doubles to 4,000 pounds.
Crucially, the 4K Tow Package is now available on both the EcoBoost engine and the Hybrid AWD configuration. This package adds a trailer brake controller, a Class III trailer hitch receiver, and upgraded engine cooling systems. This allows you to safely tow a small camper, a pair of jet skis, or a bass boat to Lake Fork without overheating your engine in the Texas summer. |

To make hitching up your trailer completely stress free, Ford offers Pro Trailer Hitch Assist. This system uses rear cameras and sensors to automatically steer the truck and align the hitch ball directly beneath your trailer coupler, eliminating the need for a second person to guide you.
