Ford Maverick Overview: Trims, Engines & Features
The Ford Maverick is a compact pickup offered in XL, XLT, Lariat, the street-styled Lobo, and off-road-oriented Tremor trims, with pricing that starts under $30,000. It comes with a standard 2.0L EcoBoost engine or an available hybrid powertrain rated at approximately 42 MPG combined, one of the best fuel-economy figures of any pickup sold in the U.S. The versatile FlexBed offers tie-downs and clever configurable storage, and an available 13.2-inch touchscreen anchors a tech-equipped cabin that seats up to five.
Why the Maverick Fits Life in Fullerton
Fullerton is North Orange County's college town, anchored by Cal State Fullerton's roughly 40,000 students and staff, layered with established family neighborhoods like Sunny Hills and Raymond Hills, and topped off by a downtown built around Harbor Blvd and the historic Fullerton Transportation Center, where restaurants and nightlife spill onto the sidewalks most evenings. That mix creates two very different parking problems in one city: tight, metered spots and shared student housing near campus and downtown, and driveways, garages, and HOA rules in the family neighborhoods on the east and west sides. A full-size pickup is a poor match for either scenario — hard to squeeze into a campus-adjacent lot, awkward in a downtown parking structure, and often oversized for a suburban driveway built decades ago. The Maverick's compact footprint solves both problems at once, while its FlexBed still handles a student's move-in haul, a family's home-improvement run, or gear for a CSUF tailgate.
And because Huntington Beach Ford sits at the opposite end of the very road that runs through the middle of Fullerton, getting here for a test drive or service appointment never requires touching a freeway — just Beach Blvd (CA-39), start to finish.

Figures current at the time of publication.
The Hyundai Santa Cruz is the Maverick's closest rival, and it makes a real case of its own: a noticeably plusher cabin and, with its available turbocharged engine, a higher maximum towing rating of around 5,000 lbs versus the Maverick's more modest tow rating. Both trucks start under $30,000, so price alone doesn't separate them.
Where the Maverick pulls ahead is efficiency and everyday utility. The hybrid's approximately 42 MPG combined rating leaves the Santa Cruz's approximately 25 mpg base rating well behind, and the Maverick backs that up with a longer FlexBed, a higher maximum payload rating, and a larger available 13.2-inch touchscreen. For buyers cross-shopping the two, the choice largely comes down to whether towing capacity or fuel economy and cargo length matter more.
For Fullerton's students, faculty, and commuters — who are far more likely to be running Beach Blvd daily than towing a trailer — the Maverick's mpg advantage, tighter footprint, and longer bed make it the stronger everyday fit for this city's use case.

Popular Maverick Configurations for Fullerton Shoppers
The XLT hybrid is the sweet spot for CSU Fullerton commuters and young professionals who want the best fuel economy and a low monthly payment, while the Lariat adds comfort and tech for downtown Fullerton buyers who want a nicer daily driver without stepping up to a full-size truck. Buyers who want more power lean toward the 2.0L EcoBoost, and the street-styled Lobo and off-road-oriented Tremor appeal to drivers in Fullerton's established neighborhoods who want a more distinctive look.
