Does the combination of "sport" and "pickup" sound strange? The new Ford Maverick Lobo proves that these terms can be combined. The Ford Maverick Lobo is based on the newly updated Ford Maverick pickup truck: a modified front bumper and headlights, a hybrid or turbo engine, and an enlarged 13.2-inch display in the cabin. Not bad, but somehow expected. Instead, the appearance of the Ford Maverick Lobo version is just that unexpected but pleasant surprise!
This pickup truck immediately attracts attention with its design: a painted bumper with black inset lines, a radiator grille with horizontal lines. And, of course, the dark 19-inch closed-type wheels are also notable.
However, the styling was not the only thing. The Ford Maverick Lobo pickup received a lowered suspension and other shock absorbers, powerful brakes from the Ford Focus ST, and an improved cooling system. And its 2-liter 253-horsepower EcoBoost turbo engine rotates all wheels - and the rear wheels even through an active gearbox, which makes it possible to change the distribution of torque between the right/left wheel.
The interior of the Ford Maverick Lobo is decorated with seats with the name logo and attractive yellow and blue stitching. One of the updates to the Ford Maverick was the introduction of a digital instrument panel. But only the Ford Maverick Lobo version adds its own driving mode to this list - it changes the engine and transmission settings, as well as the graphics of the dashboard screen.
Sales of the updated Ford Maverick in the United States will begin soon. But the sport version will have to wait: the start of sales of the Ford Maverick Lobo is scheduled for early 2025, although the price is already known - from $42 thousand.
