Impressively, every Ford Maverick comes with a payload rating of 1,500 pounds
– as much or more than some midsize pickups. The prospect of a 40-mpg hybrid that can haul an ATV or 37 bags of mulch in the bed may be tantalizing to many consumers who need good fuel economy most of the time, but also want to cross stuff off the honey-do list every Saturday and go play in the woods every Sunday.
The hybrid and EcoBoost can tow 2,000 pounds, which Ford says is enough for a pair of personal watercraft or a small tent trailer, but an available max-tow package on the turbo engine pumps that number up to 4,000, good for a small speedboat or 23-foot camper. Both the towing and payload ratings seem up to the standards of most average lifestyle shoppers, who are more likely to load up a gear hauler or fishing dinghy, rather than a sailing yacht or horse trailer.
Seriously would rock the crap out of this thing if it held three car seats...
So, tiny engine gets good mileage, but low power. Bigger ending drops fuel economy from 40 into the 20’s ?

How small is that ATV? The bed is only 54”, that’s 4 1/2 feet. My Silverado bed is 78” and my 1-up ATV barely fits. As in the tires touch the front wall and tailgate when it’s loaded in.
My bed is 67.2" and I was able to fit a sport quad in and close the tail gate. A utility quad would not fit in the Maverick.So, tiny engine gets good mileage, but low power. Bigger ending drops fuel economy from 40 into the 20’s ?

Yeah, I have a 2003 Yamaha Kodiak 450, a utility ATV.My bed is 67.2" and I was able to fit a sport quad in and close the tail gate. A utility quad would not fit in the Maverick.

It will be available in one body style, a four-door crew cab with a 54.4-inch cargo box.
Also earning Ford brownie points is a multi-function tailgate that can sit in a partially up position (level with the wheel arches), allowing 4x8 sheets of plywood or drywall to lie flat in the cargo box. Lowering the tailgate exposes a 6-foot bed floor, with tie-downs located on the upper rear bed corners, the front bed floor, and the tailgate itself, as well as movable tie-down cleats that slide on a track near the bed rail.
It does about 75% of what I would use it for, which is pretty close. I'd have a problem hauling my cruiser though (motorcycle). Currently, its back tire sits just past the middle of my tailgate, about where the bolts are for the handle. The interior stow options are pretty neat, like under the rear seat.6 foot bed floor would fit your atv.
it'd hang off the back past that a few inches but who cares.

Usually 5 or 6 times a riding season. The track bike and ATV are more frequent. Track bike is about 2" longer than the ATV.how often are you really hauling your cruiser though?
Towing & Payload in this thing is a home run. Ford gonna sell a billion.
