Shop a Southwest Houston Maverick in four steps: trim, stock, trade, test drive
Start with the engine and trim you need, check which Mavericks are in stock, get an online offer on your trade, then drive the truck. Picking the engine and trim first keeps the rest of the visit on one truck, so the stock check, the trade and the financing all apply to the same Maverick. Our online new-vehicle inventory, trade tool and financing application are all online, so you can work through the first three steps before you visit.
What do the Maverick hybrid and EcoBoost engines each give you?
The 2.5L hybrid gives the better fuel economy, at 37 to 38 mpg combined under the EPA’s 2026 certification.
| Configuration | EPA combined mpg (2026) | Max towing, properly equipped (lbs) |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0L EcoBoost FWD | 26 | 2,000 |
| 2.0L EcoBoost AWD | 25 | 4,000 with 4K Tow Package |
| 2.5L Hybrid FWD | 38 | 2,000 |
| 2.5L Hybrid AWD | 37 | 4,000 with 4K Tow Package |
Payload is 1,500 pounds on the EcoBoost AWD and the hybrid FWD, and 1,400 pounds on the hybrid AWD (Ford Motor Company, 2026). Towing figures apply only when the truck is properly equipped, and both FWD trucks tow 2,000 pounds.
What does each Ford Maverick trim cost and include?
Ford’s starting MSRP for the 2026 Maverick runs from $28,145 for the XL to $40,645 for the Tremor. The XLT starts at $30,645, the Lobo at $35,930 and the Lariat at $38,090 (Ford Motor Company, 2026).
The XL comes with the 2.5L hybrid, front-wheel drive, 17-inch steel wheels, a 13.2-inch center display and a rear view camera. The Lobo adds 19-inch black painted aluminum wheels, LED projector headlamps and paddle shifters. The Lariat adds a Tough Bed spray-in bedliner, heated mirrors and steering wheel, a B&O sound system and Pro Trailer Backup Assist. The Tremor adds a 4WD lock, advanced 4WD and off-road tuned suspension with unique springs and shocks (Ford Motor Company, Order Guide, 2026).
Match the trim to the work and the roads you drive, then compare the price on that trim.

How do you get a trade-in offer on your truck before buying a Maverick?
Start on our Value Your Trade page, which takes a license plate, a VIN, or the make and model, then select Get My Price. A trade offer can be received online in minutes, and the Trade Appraisal tile on our home page leads to the same tool (Group 1 Ford of Southwest Houston website, 2026).
In an August 2026 Google review, Kristin wrote: “Great priced cars and fair trade in value made for a quick and easy car buying experience. Maybe one of the best ones we have ever had! And we change our vehicles often. Highly recommend!”
That is one customer’s account of the trade step. Compare the offer with the price on the truck you picked, then decide.
What goes into the price of a new Maverick in Texas?
The sticker price is the start: Texas adds sales tax and a documentation fee, and incentives may reduce the total. The state’s rule sets how the documentation fee works and what it covers, and we offer financing for all credit types as well as Ford leases.
Texas charges 6.25 percent motor vehicle sales tax on the sales price minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). Registration starts at $50.75 a year for a passenger truck of 6,000 pounds or less, plus local county fees (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).
Texas presumes a documentary fee of $225 or less reasonable, and a seller does not need to file a notification for it. Above $225, the seller must file a notification and a cost analysis, and the fee must reflect costs actually incurred in preparing and processing sale documents (Legal Information Institute, 2024).
Can you test drive and take delivery of a Maverick at home in Southwest Houston?
Yes. We offer home test drives and deliveries, so you can drive a Maverick before you decide to come in. We also ship cars out of state.
Plan the drive around the truck you chose in step one, so the test checks the engine and trim you picked. In a January 2026 Google review, Chih C. wrote: “Bought the vehicle with the sales Elvis. He’s very helpful and attentive. He made sure everything went smoothly with the finance department and all things are well taken care.”
That review describes one buyer’s paperwork, and it shows how the finance step went for that customer.
Frequently asked questions
What warranty comes with a new Ford Maverick?
The 2026 Maverick carries a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles, a powertrain warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles, and corrosion coverage for 5 years with unlimited miles (Ford Motor Company, 2026). Ask for those terms in writing on the exact truck you pick.
Which Maverick incentives should you ask a dealer about?
Ask whether any incentive applies to the exact Maverick you pick, and get the answer in writing before you agree on a price. Ask about each offer by name, so every quote you compare uses the same terms.
How do you compare Maverick quotes from two dealers?
Ask each dealer for the out-the-door price, which the Federal Trade Commission defines as the total price before financing, including options, taxes, DMV fees and the documentation fee (Federal Trade Commission, 2020). Compare two quotes on the same trim and options, and check the documentary fee against the Texas limits in the price answer.
How big is the Maverick bed and how much can it carry?
The Maverick bed is 42.6 inches wide between the wheel wells and 53.3 inches wide overall, with 33.3 cubic feet of total cargo volume (Ford Maverick specs FAQ, 2026). Payload ratings sit with the engine figures.
What does Ford certified pre-owned cover on a used Maverick?
Certified pre-owned Ford vehicles at our store carry a Ford-backed extended powertrain limited warranty and a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty. Ask for the written terms on the exact used truck before you sign.
