The 2024 Ford Maverick is built to impress. Not only does this nimble, compact truck continue to turn heads with its latest model, but it has also introduced a hybrid engine, allowing drivers to utilize exceptional fuel efficiency. With the ability to tow up to 4,000 lbs, it adapts easily to changing conditions, and it is just as happy to cruise on I-285 as it is to navigate downtown Atlanta. This is a truck ready to meet any moment. Here at Jim Ellis Ford, we’re impressed with the Maverick’s versatility. It’s not just built to please multiple types of drivers; it’s built so that each driver can use it for multiple purposes. The Maverick is a truck for all seasons and all missions. Whether you’re planning a day of recreation or labor, the Maverick will have your back.

Our customers have consistently been impressed by all their Maverick lets them do. In fact, some have even told us that they feel their automotive horizons have expanded, with their pickup truck’s capability surprising them, allowing them to enjoy more than they previously thought they could. We’re going to dive into why the Maverick stands as such a smart purchase for drivers in the Atlanta area. After that, we’ll be waiting for you here at Jim Ellis Ford to show you firsthand everything this compact truck has to offer.

An Efficient Drive for Your Daily Commute

Almost any travel out of Atlanta will require some time on the highway, so you’ll be happy to know that your Maverick is sure to excel. Not only is the ride going to be smooth and steady, even at the highest of speeds, but your Maverick will keep you on the road longer with great fuel efficiency. While trucks are not known for their fuel economy, the Maverick has an impressive 30 MPG rating on the highway. If you go for its hybrid powertrain, you can do even better at 33 MPG. The hybrid is a smart choice for those who commute around Atlanta because it provides outstanding fuel efficiency in urban areas, earning a city mileage rating of 42 MPG. You’ll have a lot more room in your budget thanks to fewer trips to the gas station, which will be quite a welcome relief. People don’t normally associate pickups with solid mileage, but the Ford Maverick is changing that.

A Pickup Truck Ready for Off-Roading

Whether you go for the 2.0L EcoBoost or 2.5L hybrid engine, your Maverick is ready to rumble. Available all-wheel drive can give you a better sense of control and improved traction when conditions are less than ideal. Match that with the TREMOR Off-Road package or the FX4 Off-Road package, and you’ll be ready to tackle anything Mother Nature throws at you. The TREMOR package will increase your ground clearance, which is useful if you foresee yourself traversing rocky ground or areas with drastic ditches. The suspension also gets tuned specifically for the off-road, meaning driving over bumps won’t cause a worry.

The FX4 adds more fun with Hill Descent Control, a system that helps you when you’re going up or down an incline by preventing rapid acceleration. It also comes with sturdy skid plates, all-terrain tires, and two more drive modes. You can enjoy splashing through mud, cutting through snow, or driving through hills. No matter the terrain, the Maverick is ready to meet the challenge head-on. If you’re someone who thirsts for adventure or wants to become a master of the Great Outdoors, the 2024 Ford Maverick should be the next vehicle you take for a test spin.

Capable of Tackling Tough Tasks

Pickup trucks are always ready to work. The Maverick is no exception. With its available tow package, it can tow 4,000 lbs, which equates to more than what the Maverick itself weighs. If you’re moving lawn equipment or towing a trailer filled with building supplies, it’ll be smooth sailing for you, thanks to the Maverick’s capabilities. In addition to its fantastic towing capacity, it is also able to carry a 1,500-lb payload.

The cargo bed has a length of 54.4 inches and a width of 53.3 inches, which means not only can you haul heavy cargo, but you can store a diverse range of cargo without it becoming stuck or not fitting. This will give you peace of mind that your truck’s bed is up for whatever surprises the day throws your way. The bed can also be equipped with a 110V outlet to power tools and other equipment, even if you’re in a remote area (the truck’s cab can also get a 110V outlet). The multi-position tailgate can also be reconfigured so it acts as a workstation or a place to lay tools or a laptop, resulting in your Maverick turning into a home office or a work site, depending on the situation. If you’re an entrepreneur looking for a leg up or a laborer who wants to stand out at the work site, then the Maverick will serve you well.

Packed With a Variety of Great Tech

If a vacation is in the plans, then the Maverick will get you and the family there in style and safety. You can make sure the driver’s seat is ready for those long treks if you go with the power-adjustable and heated driver’s seat. You’ll feel you’re in the right position for a lengthy journey so that your back doesn’t cramp; fatigue is a danger, so a driver’s seat that keeps you well positioned is imperative. You’ll be able to keep the kids occupied with music or podcasts by connecting your device to the 8-inch touchscreen via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. The truck’s Wi-Fi hotspot will allow you to stay connected to the digital world, so you’re able to stream, as well. Traveling to your destination will never be a bore, and your kids will likely remember the truck ride there just as much as the destination itself.

Another reason the Maverick is so family-friendly is its extensive safety system of standard features. The Ford Co-Pilot360 suite provides you with a slew of programs that keep an eye on the road and alert you to any problems, ranging from straying out of your lane to detecting an object ahead of you. From standard tools like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking to the Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, your Maverick will always be looking out for you on the road.
