The Classic Ford Pickup Has Gained A Hybrid Version That Is Already Available In The Brazilian Market, However, The High Price Draws Attention
Despite the new hybrid version of the Ford Maverick having an almost identical appearance to the conventional FX4 version, even featuring a discreet emblem on the bed that indicates hybrid propulsion, the new Ford pickup comes with a fully turbocharged version in the Brazilian market. Thus, behind this discretion, the first hybrid pickup launched in Brazil delivers a remarkable feat: solid performance combined with low fuel consumption, according to the Vrum website.
Although it has a slightly higher price compared to the Fiat Toro Ultra, the most sophisticated monocoque pickup from the competition, the Ford Maverick Hybrid is offered at the same price as the conventional FX4 version. It is up to buyers to assess their priorities before purchasing the Ford hybrid pickup. Check the price:

Regarding the technical specifications of the pickup, it is worth noting that the hybrid propulsion technology is not of the plug-in type. It is a conventional system where the combustion engine drives the wheels and recharges the lithium-ion battery. Thus, the pickup operates in fully electric mode only in low power demand situations, such as parking maneuvers or traffic jams.
