What’s New for 2026

The 2026 Ford Maverick is back and better than ever, giving Arkansas drivers a truck that’s compact, capable, and incredibly efficient. At Crain Ford of Little Rock, we’re excited to introduce Ford’s latest generation of the small pickup that changed the game. The 2026 Maverick introduces new design updates, advanced technology, and multiple powertrain options, including a fuel-saving hybrid setup. Whether you’re commuting through Little Rock, tackling projects in North Little Rock, or heading out for a weekend in Conway or Benton, the Maverick is built to work hard and play even harder.

Ford continues to evolve America’s favorite compact pickup with several upgrades for the 2026 model year. The 2026 Ford Maverick now features a refreshed exterior design, enhanced cabin materials, and the return of its efficient hybrid powertrain. Ford also introduces the new Lobo trim, adding a bold, street-inspired style to the Maverick lineup. Updated safety tech and infotainment enhancements make this truck even more user-friendly, while bed versatility remains one of its strongest features.

For Little Rock truck shoppers looking for power, flexibility, and value, the 2026 Maverick delivers it all in a smart, right-sized package.

Design & Interior

The 2026 Ford Maverick strikes a balance between toughness and everyday comfort. On the outside, the Maverick features an updated grille design, available LED lighting, and a more sculpted body that gives it a rugged yet modern look. Inside, Ford redesigned the dashboard with better materials and added storage for everything you need to keep close at hand.

Every Maverick trim offers comfortable seating for five, clever storage compartments, and premium features such as a leather-wrapped steering wheel, power-adjustable seats, and dual-zone climate control. The FlexBed system remains a standout feature, giving drivers the freedom to organize tools, camping gear, or weekend project supplies however they want.

With its practical design and comfortable interior, the 2026 Maverick fits both work and family life across Central Arkansas.

Hybrid Option

One of the most exciting features of the 2026 Ford Maverick is the return of its hybrid powertrain. Combining a 2.5-liter engine with an electric motor, the hybrid Maverick delivers impressive fuel efficiency—perfect for daily driving around Little Rock and North Little Rock.

This system offers smooth acceleration, low emissions, and reduced fuel consumption. The hybrid Maverick remains one of the most affordable and efficient pickups on the market, offering up to 40 MPG in city driving. For drivers who require additional towing capability, Ford also offers an available turbocharged gasoline engine that enhances performance without compromising efficiency.

The 2026 Maverick gives you the freedom to choose—efficient hybrid or powerful turbo—so you can match your truck to your lifestyle.

Performance & Safety

Despite its smaller size, the 2026 Ford Maverick delivers big on capability. With a standard front-wheel drive layout and available all-wheel drive, it’s ready for both weekday commutes and weekend adventures. The Maverick can tow up to 4,000 pounds when properly equipped—enough for small trailers, ATVs, or boats.

Ford’s Co-Pilot360 safety suite comes standard, giving drivers confidence on every road in Arkansas. Features include Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane-Keeping System. Available Adaptive Cruise Control and Evasive Steering Assist add even more protection and convenience.

From downtown Little Rock to winding backroads near Bryant and Sherwood, the 2026 Maverick is engineered to keep you safe, capable, and in control.
