Ford Maverick vs the Competition

How Does The New Ford Maverick Compare To the Competition?

As one of the primary new Ford dealers serving drivers from Wauseon to Napoleon, OH, we understand that the demand for compact trucks that offer serious capability has never been greater. Luckily, the new Ford Maverick is here at our Archbold, OH location, and it's leading the way for this emerging segment of the truck market. Of course, when you're a trailblazer like the Ford Maverick, you have to contend with established rivals and in many cases, pale imitations. That's certainly the case with the new Toyota Tacoma and the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Take a close look at our competitive comparison and you'll see that the new Ford Maverick presents a stronger value proposition than its competitors on all fronts.

Fuel Economy

One of the things we see drivers around the greater Delta, OH area asking for year after year is a more efficient breed of pickup truck. The new Ford Maverick more than fits the bill on that front. With an EPA-estimated 42 mpg city and 38 mpg highway, the new Ford Maverick easily bests many other pickups on the market for fuel economy returns, making it perfect for day-to-day driving and long-distance road trips. By comparison, the new Toyota Tacoma barely manages up to 19 mpg city / 24 mpg highway. The Hyundai Santa Cruz is slightly more efficient, but still falls short, only achieving up to 22 mpg city / 30 mpg highway.

Hybrid Availability

One of the main draws to buying or leasing a new Ford Maverick at our showroom near Bryan, OH is the fact that it's the first Ford truck with a primary hybrid powertrain. That means that you'll enjoy the perks of hybrid-electric vehicle ownership right from the get-go, rather than having to pay extra for a hybrid powertrain as you would with the new Toyota Tacoma. In addition, the new Hyundai Santa Cruz doesn't even offer a hybrid engine option, so if you're in the market for a hybrid, the new Ford Maverick is the best option for you

Competitive Pricing

While pricing can vary depending upon the model and trim you opt for, but you can rest assured that our new Ford Maverick is one of the most cost-effective models on the market for Defiance, OH area drivers on a budget. With our competitive rates on new Ford financing and leasing and attractive new vehicle incentives available, the new Ford Maverick is more affordable than you might expect. By comparison, the new Hyundai Santa Cruz and Toyota Tacoma have a substantially higher starting price, not to mention the cost of upgrading to trims with comparable equipment to what the new Ford Maverick offers as part of its generous package of standard features.

Drivability

If you've driven around Defiance and Wauseon as much as we have here at Terry Henricks Ford, then you know that traffic can be quite hectic and streetside parking spaces are often hard to find, especially for larger trucks. Luckily, the new Ford Maverick is perfectly sized for city driving. With its effortless maneuverability and compact curbside footprint, the new Ford Maverick is perfect for jetting through rush hour commutes and helping you snag those compact spots that larger trucks simply couldn't manage. The new Hyundai Santa Cruz is similar in size to the Ford Maverick, but the new Toyota Tacoma is considerably larger, making it more of a hassle to maneuver in tight spaces.

Payload

On the payload front, the new Ford Maverick boasts a comparable payload capacity to that of the new Toyota Tacoma, despite being considerably more compact. However, with up to 1,500 pounds of payload capacity, the new Ford Maverick has much more muscle than the Hyundai Santa Cruz, which sits at just 1,411 pounds of payload capacity.
