With this high level of efficiency, the 2022 Ford Maverick can travel up to 500 miles of range on a single tank of gas.**
To keep you comfortable while you’re on the go, heated seats and 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seats are available for both trucks. Once you’re on the road, place your smartphone on the available wireless charging pad to keep it powered up for the entire drive.
