There is something quietly rebellious about the 2026 Ford Maverick ®. It refuses to play the “bigger is better” game that has defined pickups for decades.

Tremor® transforms Maverick into a trail companion, adding advanced 4WD calibration, protective skid plates, and rugged suspension tuning built for Michigan’s less predictable terrain.
