2027 Ford Maverick Gets Price CutBrian Vance - MotorTrendFord is shaking things up with the 2027 Maverick. As first reported by CarsDirect, the subcompact pickup's base price is expected to remain at $29,990, but Ford is making meaningful changes to which trims get which engines. At the same time, several higher-end versions, including the Lobo, Lobo High, and Tremor, are reportedly getting sizable price cuts.For starters, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine is being dropped from the XL trim, meaning the XL and Lariat will now be hybrid-only. The 2027 Maverick XL is expected to continue starting at $29,990 with the hybrid powertrain, which is good news for buyers who want the most efficient version of Ford's little pickup truck without paying more than they do today.That also means the cheapest way into an EcoBoost-powered Maverick will now be the XLT AWD, which is expected to start at $32,890. For buyers who prefer the stronger turbocharged engine, the change effectively raises the entry point and pushes them into a more expensive trim.Brian Vance - MotorTrendThe good news continues further into the lineup. The 2027 Maverick Lobo is reportedly set to start at $34,000, which would represent a $3,775 price cut compared to today. The Lobo High, which now sits in the mid-$40,000 range, is expected to drop to $39,000.AdvertisementAdvertisementThat could make the Lobo family considerably more appealing. The street-oriented Maverick already stands out from the rest of the lineup with its lower stance, sportier suspension tuning, and more aggressive styling; a lower price could make it easier for buyers to justify choosing one over a more conventional XLT or Lariat.The off-road-focused Maverick Tremor is also expected to get cheaper. Its price is reportedly dropping by $3,490 to $39,000, putting it right alongside the Lobo High despite the two trucks targeting very different buyers. The Tremor is aimed more at light trail use and rugged styling, whereas the Lobo takes a more pavement-focused approach.The changes suggest Ford is trying to create clearer separation between the Maverick's different personalities while keeping the entry-level hybrid attractive. The XL remains the value play, and the XLT becomes the starting point for EcoBoost buyers, and the specialty Lobo and Tremor trims become more attainable.Ford hasn't confirmed these prices, but we've reached out to the automaker and will update this story when we hear back.Photo credit: Brian Vance - MotorTrendPhoto credit: Brian Vance - MotorTrendPhoto credit: Brian Vance - MotorTrendPhoto credit: Brian Vance - MotorTrendAdvertisementAdvertisementPhoto credit: Brian Vance - MotorTrendPhoto credit: Brian Vance - MotorTrendPhoto credit: Brian Vance - MotorTrendPhoto credit: Brian Vance - MotorTrendAdvertisementAdvertisementPhoto credit: Brian Vance - MotorTrendPhoto credit: Brian Vance - MotorTrendPhoto credit: Brian Vance - MotorTrend
