The Maverick, based on the Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs, is the first-ever pickup truck to come standard as a hybrid. The base powertrain is a 191-hp hybrid four-cylinder linked to an eCVT and front-wheel drive. It can propel itself on electric power at low speeds and we got an excellent 37 mpg overall. The optional choice is a 250-hp turbo four-cylinder mated to an eight-speed automatic, with front- or all-wheel drive. This powertrain gives robust acceleration, can tow up to 4,000 pounds, and gets 23 mpg overall, but its tendency to lug along at low revs sends annoying vibrations into the cabin. The ride is civilized and handling is very secure. Maneuverability, access, and visibility are commendable, and the controls are super easy. However, the truck is loud (the hybrid is quieter) and the interior ambience is utilitarian. The bed measures just 4.5-feet-long, but it's deep enough to be practical and the Maverick's small size makes it very easy to access. FCW and AEB with pedestrian detection come standard. BSW and RCTW are available.

To learn about satisfaction, CR has collected survey data from our annual survey on more than half a million vehicles. Our subscribers provide great insights into their satisfaction by answering one simple question: If they had it to do all over again, would they definitely buy or lease the same model? In addition, respondents also rate their cars in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio, and climate systems. NA indicates that we did not receive a large enough sample size to provide data for a specific year. An X indicates that the vehicle was not manufactured for a specific year.
