Capability for the beach or the farm

---

Whether you’re running supplies to and from resort area attractions or hauling produce from a nearby farm, either the 2022 Ford Maverick or 2021 Ford Ranger will perform well.

The Maverick stands out as the first standard full hybrid pickup truck in the USA, while the Ranger holds its own as an efficient truck.

See some of the engine specs for each truck below to get an idea of their capabilities…

2022 FORD MAVERICK VS 2021 FORD RANGER ENGINES
	Maverick	Ranger
Available engines	2.5-liter FHEV (hybrid) 2.0-liter EcoBoost® (gas)	2.3-liter EcoBoost® I-4
Standard horsepower	191 (hybrid) 250 (gas)	270

In addition to the ample horsepower that you’ll enjoy on the road, you can drive easier and access gear shifting in a simpler way. In the Maverick, there’s a standard rotary gear shift dial that takes up less space than a traditional gear shift, leaving a little extra room to store your coffee or phone.

On the other hand, the new Ranger engine comes with standard Auto Start-Stop Technology. This saves energy by preventing the engine from revving when you stop the vehicle and take your foot off the accelerator and clutch.

Load up with ample capacity

---

Start your workday with confidence knowing the 2022 Maverick and 2021 Ranger have the space you need to pack up and get to work. The Maverick has a maximum payload capacity of 1,500 pounds, while the maximum payload capacity in the Ranger is 1,905 pounds.

If you need to tow a small camper or a trailer with extra bales of hay, the towing ability of the Maverick is pretty impressive. When properly equipped, the hybrid pickup can tow up to 4,000 pounds.

The Ranger can pull quite a bit more weight, though. It can tow up to 7,500 pounds when properly equipped. So, for larger campers and trailers carrying heavier items like stone or concrete, the Ranger will be the more solid choice.

Practicality and Safety go Hand in Hand

---

Safety comes first on the job, and it will in your Maverick or Ranger as well. Each truck has standard and available safety features that will help improve your alertness and reaction time when you face potential hazards on the road. For example, each comes with a standard Rear View Camera to give you a clear picture when backing up.

With Co-Pilot360™ Technology in the Maverick, you’ll get standard Auto High-Beams to make transitioning in an out of low visibility environments easier. You’ll also have Autolamp – auto on/off headlamps just in case you forget to turn your lights on when the sun goes down.

The Co-Pilot360™ Technology features that are available in the Ranger include BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with trailer coverage. This will give you critical extra visibility whenever you’re trailering. The truck also comes with standard Auto High Beam Headlamps and a Lane-Keeping System to help keep you and whatever you have in tow traveling in your intended lane.
