2022 Ford Maverick trim level and feature content breakdown
The 2022 Ford Maverick will be available in three trim levels that should be familiar to any current or former Ford pickup owner: XL, XLT Lariat. All have the same cab size, bed length and standard hybrid powertrain, so the situation is considerably simpler than choosing among Rangers and F-150s.
Here is a breakdown of what you can expect from each Maverick trim level, and no, there isn’t a King Ranch.
The 2022 Ford Maverick XL, which starts at $19,995 ($21,490 including its $1,495 destination charge), comes standard with a 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain, front-wheel drive, steel wheels, black plastic exterior trim (mirrors, door handles, grille bar), a compact spare tire, automatic headlights, forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, power windows and locks, keyless entry, air conditioning, a height-adjustable driver seat, cloth upholstery, a flip-up rear bench seat, an 8-inch touchscreen, two USB ports (USB-C and USB-A), in-car WiFi and a six-speaker sound system.

The XLT Luxury package adds a full-size spare, bed tie-down rails, a spray-in bedliner, LED bed lighting, a trailer hitch receiver and four-pin wiring harness, heated mirrors, windshield wiper de-icer, an eight-way power driver seat, manual passenger seat height adjustment, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, 400-watt AC outlets in the back seat and bed, and back seat USB ports.
