Ford Maverick Lobo

Inspired by the lowered sport-truck era of the 1990s and early 2000s, the all-new Maverick Lobo is built purely for street performance. This trim sits lower to the ground (by half an inch in the front and over an inch in the rear) and uses a specialized 7-speed quick-shift automatic transmission. Paired exclusively with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, the Lobo features an advanced AWD system with a twin-clutch rear-drive unit for incredible torque-vectoring cornering grip. If you want a truck that handles like a performance car, the Lobo is in a class of its own.
