The newly-introduced 2022 Ford Maverick is set to be the smallest truck in Ford’s pickup lineup, which is good news for a certain niche of consumers—but the compact size inevitably creates some compromise on other features, like towing capacity or cargo space. Today, I’m going to walk you through a spec-by-spec comparison of all the trucks in Ford’s lineup so you can get a sense of what might be right for you.
Each of these trucks serve a different purpose and aren’t necessarily interchangeable, so this comparison isn’t designed to compare different vehicles in a similar class (). Instead, this is designed to be a helpful way to evaluate what truck may be the best for you, especially if you’re new to the whole Truck Thing.
For reference, all specs are base-model unless otherwise specified.
