What’s the difference between the 2024 Ford Maverick XL and XLT?
The Maverick XLT builds on the base XL’s features with modern conveniences, including a power-locking tailgate and a rear center armrest with cupholders. The XLT also comes with upgraded seating upholstery, enhancing your everyday comfort with a softer touch. And while the base model comes with steel wheels, the XLT is more stylish, with standard 17-inch Carbonized Gray-painted aluminum wheels.
Perhaps more importantly, the mid-range XLT is available with more options than the base Maverick. If you don't want to shell out the extra cash needed to purchase the top-trim Maverick Lariat, you can save money by building a pretty luxurious version of the XLT. Options include remote ignition, heated front seats, and a power moonroof!

With the Maverick’s base engine, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost, you’ll enjoy maximum power (250 horses) and towing capabilities (up to 4,000 pounds). It’s also the only Maverick engine available with all-wheel drive, an upgrade you’ll appreciate on the trail. Depending on configuration, the Maverick’s 2.0-liter engine helps you earn up to 26 mpg combined (23 city/30 highway).
If you’re shopping for the thriftiest truck on the road, on the other hand, you’ll find it in the 2024 Maverick with the optional hybrid powertrain. So equipped, Ford’s compact truck earns 37 mpg combined (42 city/33 highway)! The hybrid Maverick’s tow rating maxes out at 2,000 pounds. No matter which Maverick engine you select, though, you’ll be able to haul payloads of up to 1,500 pounds.
The 2024 Ford Maverick XLT is available with your choice of two powertrains. Specs include:

Is the 2024 Ford Maverick worth the extra cost?
Compared to the 2024 Maverick XL (from $23,920), the Maverick XLT (from $26,420) is well worth the upgrade. That’s especially true for drivers who want access to the optional features, such as the Power Moonroof or Remote Start System, that aren’t available to the base XL!
