The pickup truck battle for supremacy rages on, and now it features pintsized competitors like the Ford Maverick. The Maverick is a unique contender in the Ford lineup and the pickup truck market. It packs the power and durability that Ford trucks are known for, but it wraps it all up in a compact truck frame. See how the Maverick shakes things up and how it compares to one of its greatest rivals, the Hyundai Santa Cruz.
Interior Design
Both trucks offer a comfortable environment that feels a lot more like an SUV than a truck. Storage solutions are what make the Maverick stand out, however. You'll discover plenty of cubbies and a neat center console for your smaller items, and the backseat offers ample room to hold more of your stuff.
When it comes to clever storage for personal items, the Santa Cruz lags.Versatility and Capability
The Maverick truck bed is about the same size as that of the Santa Cruz, but it sits a bit lower. The lower load floor makes it easier to pack equipment into the truck bed and carry it with you on your next adventure. The Maverick can also tow up to 4,000 pounds, which is not quite as much as the Santa Cruz, but it offers better control over trailers with an available trailer brake controller. The Santa Cruz lacks this feature.
Performance
The Maverick is a unique pick because of its standard hybrid powertrain. It's designed to give you the muscle you need to tackle your adventures and help you save fuel along the way. The Santa Cruz doesn't offer a hybrid option, let alone a standard hybrid powertrain.
