I review the Ford Maverick Mini Pick-up truck with the 2L Ecoboost engine, I discussing towing ability, max payload, pros and cons with the 2L ecoboost engine, the optional 2.5L hybrid engine and the impressive fuel economy. At the end of the day is this a REAL pick up truck and should you consider it when buying a truck?

Well I figured it was time to look at some smaller trucks and I figured it was time to start here with the ford maverick because I think it is an interesting truck.

My goal for this video was to determine if this little truck was indeed meant to be used as a pick up truck or if it was a gimmick. first off is the 2L ecoboost engine. I discuss the both the benefits and issues with this 2L ecoboost engine when buying one. but overall they are not bad engines.

I also talk about the hybrid options for these Maverick trucks and discuss the specs and power numbers associated with the 2.5L hybrid engine. I also talk about the awesome fuel economy and MPG numbers with the hybrid engine.

Next is the towing and payload numbers. the towing is pretty weak but the payload numbers around 1,500lbs is actually very impressive

the other thing I like about this small truck is how easy it is to use. I can access the bed very easily and I can also get in the truck nice and easily.

I think the biggest downfalls for this truck are if you need to tow anything or want some decent off-road performance this is not the truck right truck for you.

also the bed size roughly 4'5 X 4 is not very large so if you are needing to load up lumber or drywall this may not be the right truck for you and you may need to upgrade to a full size truck like an F150.
