5 Reasons Why You Need the Ford Maverick

Ford MaverickAs far as pickup trucks go, the Ford Maverick is a hard one to beat. With its impressive handling and response time, performance, and impeccable style, there’s a reason why so many Western Michigan drivers love the Ford Maverick. 

If you’re interested in learning more about it, then we welcome you to come visit our dealership, just an easy 30-minute drive from Hudsonville. In the meantime, here are the top 5 features we love about the Ford Maverick. We think you’ll love them, too. 

1. The Engine 


No discussion about the Maverick is complete without mentioning the engine. The Maverick offers two engine options for you to choose from. The first is the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, which offers 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. 

Your other available option includes the 2.5L Hybrid engine, which is paired with a CVT (automatic continuously variable transmission). Whichever you choose, you’re in for a dynamic driving experience. This even includes your ability to tow large hauls weighing up to 1,500 pounds. 

2. Smartphone Connectivity


Another feature you’ll love on the Maverick is that it comes with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Compatibility. With these, you can sync up your smartphone to send text messages, stream your favorite music, make calls, and get directions. This is all made possible through the available SYNC 3 technology that works with voice recognition. 

Plus, speaking of smartphones, you’ll also be able to use a wireless charging pad so your battery always stays full. With the Maverick, staying connected in and around Holland has never been easier. 

3. Ford Co-Pilot360


The Maverick comes with an advanced safety system through Ford Co-Pilot360. These features include the following: 

  • Evasive Steering Assist
  • Rear View Camera
  • Hill Descent Control 
  • Lane-Keeping System
  • Adaptive Cruise Control 
  • Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Pro Trailer Backup Assist
  • Automatic High-Beam Headlamps
  • Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Coverage

These systems enable you to have greater peace of mind as you travel throughout Northern Shores, Muskegon, and Coopersville. 

4. Flexible Storage System


Do you need to store camping gear? Recreational items? Tools for a job all the way over in Ludington? Well, the Maverick makes it easy to store whatever gear you have. 

This is due to the FLEXBED Storage System. It includes under-the-seat storage in the rear, pocket doors that can conveniently hold a 1.5L water bottle, and dividers to keep everything neat. 

There’s also the Cargo Management System, which not only lets you customize how you store your gear but comes with 10 available cargo tie-downs to keep things snug as you travel to and from the Great Lakes. 

5. Versatile Truck Bed



The truck bed is one of the main reasons why you purchase a truck like the Maverick, so you’ll be pleased to learn that this model comes with an incredibly versatile bed. 

Not only can it hold a lot of heavy stuff, but when you equip it with a Bed Extender, you can get up to 2 extra feet of enclosed cargo space. Best of all, this offering is available on every trim. 

This isn’t the only cool thing about the Maverick’s truck bed, though. It has the option to be power-locked; when you lock your truck, you also lock your truck bed. In between doubling as a work surface when you need it and the ability to tie down bulky items like 4x8 lumber flat, there’s so much drivers of Western Michigan can appreciate about the Maverick.
