If you’re searching for a pickup truck with excellent fuel economy but in a smaller package, our AutoTrader experts highly recommend another hybrid Ford truck: the Maverick.

Ford’s compact truck boasts real-world capability and can even go off-road despite riding on a unibody platform borrowed from the Escape SUV. The combination of the Maverick Hybrid’s 2.5L four-cylinder gas engine and electric motor makes 191 hp. Despite this impressive power, its drivetrain delivers 6.3 L/100 km fuel economy and the ability to tow up to 2,000 pounds. Although all-wheel drive (AWD) is available with the Maverick’s base 250-hp turbocharged 2.0L gas engine, the Hybrid’s power goes solely to the front wheels via a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

Like all Mavericks, the Hybrid only comes as a SuperCrew four-door cab with a 4.5-foot bed. Beyond its efficient power source, the Maverick Hybrid’s five-passenger interior is reasonably roomy. While the hybrid drivetrain was the standard option on the Maverick last year, it’s optional on all 2024 Maverick trims, starting at $33,600.
