Ford finally made it official this morning. It’s newest pickup truck, the Maverick, will hit showrooms in the U.S. market later this year. Ford officially unveils the truck on June 8th on the TikTok and Instagram channels of the actress Gabrielle Union. It will also be on Ford’s social media outlets and on Hulu. We’ll get more details then, but here’s what we’ve already reported. The Maverick is made at Ford’s plant in Hermosillo, Mexico, which is where the Bronco Sport is made. Base price: just under twenty grand. Four-cylinder, front wheel drive, with all wheel drive optional. Based on the same platform as the Bronco Sport, which itself is off the Escape. It’s not a work truck. It’s a lifestyle truck. Translation: it’s for carrying bikes, motorcycles, camping equipment and that sort of stuff. Look for it to hit showrooms by the end of the summer.
