A pickup earns its place by carrying more than cargo. This new 2026 Ford Maverick XL Hybrid carries a workweek, family schedules and weekend projects in one Oxford White truck that is easy to park around Wesley Chapel and efficient enough for daily travel across Tampa Bay. The 2.5L hybrid engine and power-split electric CVT are EPA-rated at 42 MPG city, 35 MPG highway and 38 MPG combined. Front-wheel drive keeps the setup simple, while selectable drive modes let the Maverick adjust as traffic, weather and road conditions change between Tampa, New Tampa and Lutz. When the day shifts from driving to hauling, the FLEXBED Storage System and cargo-box tie-down hooks help organize tools, home-improvement supplies, outdoor equipment or furniture. A locking tailgate helps protect the bed, and the factory 2K trailer hitch receiver adds flexibility for compatible light-duty towing. Every new Ford Maverick at Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. Parks Plus adds paint and fabric protection, cabin sanitizer and antimicrobial protectant, rain repellent, headlight protection, nitrogen tire service, anti-theft VIN etching, stolen-vehicle assistance, roadside assistance and collision loyalty benefits. The second row carries more than passengers. Its flip-up bench reveals under-seat storage for bags, emergency supplies, tools or valuables that should remain hidden inside the cab. Navy Pier and Black/Slate cloth seating accommodates five, making this Maverick useful for errands in Land O' Lakes, commuting from Odessa or taking the family across town. A 13.2-inch center display with SYNC 4 brings compatible smartphone functions, entertainment and vehicle settings together. An eight-inch cluster keeps key information ahead of the driver, while cruise control, dual USB ports, remote keyless entry, power windows and locks and a tilt-and-telescoping steering column support everyday use. The connected package includes one year of compatible Ford app features, and SiriusXM with 360L includes a three-month trial. A 5G modem and 12-volt power points help keep information and devices ready during longer drives toward Zephyrhills, Brandon or destinations beyond Tampa Bay. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking adds support when traffic changes quickly. A rearview camera helps when backing toward a trailer or into a tight parking space, while four-wheel anti-lock brakes, Safety Canopy airbags and tire-pressure monitoring provide additional confidence. Oxford White, a black mesh grille, black door handles and LED reflector headlights give the XL a clean, straightforward appearance. Automatic high beams and automatic on/off lighting help as Florida conditions change, while the conventional spare tire provides reassurance away from home. This Maverick is designed around a different kind of ownership: hybrid efficiency for the miles driven most often, five-passenger flexibility for everyday life and a real bed and trailer hitch for the moments when a car is not enough. 42/35 City/Highway MPG Price includes $1,395 dealer added accessories.
