Ford Maverick vs. Hyundai Santa Cruz
Both the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz are smaller trucks with carlike driving and plenty of value. However, the Maverick still tops the Santa Cruz thanks to its unique features and capabilities.
The Ford Maverick Offers More Fuel Efficiency: Thanks to its hybrid engine, the Maverick provides an EPA-estimated 42 MPG in the city, 35 MPG on the highway, and 38 MPG combined.
The Hyundai Santa Cruz Can Tow 1,000 Pounds More: Expect the Santa Cruz to tow up to 5,000 pounds with its optional turbocharged engine. The Maverick provides up to 4,000 pounds of capacity with its optional Tow Package.
The Ford Maverick Has a Longer Bed: The truck bed is one of the key components of any truck, and the Maverick has a 4.5-foot bed in the back. The Santa Cruz offers a 4.0-foot bed.
Ford Maverick vs. Jeep® Gladiator
The Ford Maverick and Jeep® Gladiator are similarly-sized trucks with different purposes. While the Maverick is well-suited for narrower city streets, the Gladiator excels out in the wilds around Hannibal.
The Ford Maverick Offers All-Wheel Drive: All-wheel drive is a game changer in cities during harsh weather and out in the rural fields on bumpy roads, and the Maverick offers it with its available powertrain. The Gladiator does not offer all-wheel drive.
The Jeep® Gladiator Offers More Ground Clearance: The Jeep® brand remains the ruler of dirt trails and rough roads with its 10.0 inches of ground clearance. Expect a good 8.1 inches of ground clearance from the Maverick.
The Ford Maverick is More Efficient: It should come as no surprise that the Maverick easily trumps the Gladiator's EPA-estimated 17 MPG in the city, 22 MPG on the highway, and 19 MPG combined, with its 42 MPG in the city, 35 MPG on the highway, and 38 MPG combined.
Ford Maverick vs. Ford F-150
The Ford Maverick and Ford F-150 may be cousins within the Ford truck lineup, but their differences really stand out around Pittsfield. While the Ford F-150 can go anywhere, it cannot go everywhere as easily as the Ford Maverick can.
The Ford Maverick is Smaller & More Suited to Urban Environments: While many may believe the larger the truck, the better, consider how the F-150 has a tougher time in urban environments due to its size. It is 232 inches long and 95.7 inches wide, making it not ideal for city traffic or short, narrow streets. The Maverick, however, is only 199.8 inches long and 83.5 inches wide, making it ideal for transitioning from the city to the farmlands and back.
The Ford F-150 Offers More Towing Capability: The difference in size and available powertrains leads to a sizeable difference between the two. The F-150 offers 13,500 pounds of max towing capacity compared to the Maverick's max of 4,000 pounds.
The Ford Maverick is More Efficient: Like many of the Maverick's opponents, the F-150 falls behind in efficiency. Even with a hybrid engine, the F-150 receives an EPA-estimated 23 MPG combined. The Maverick provides 38 MPG combined.
