The Ford Maverick pickup was designed to deliver versatility. So whether you’re navigating city streets, exploring a national park or anywhere in between, you’ll find a drive mode that’s engineered for the terrain you find yourself driving on.

  • Normal: Made for everyday driving, this is the perfect setting for getting around or away.
  • Tow/Haul: This mode helps you can stay in control while you’re towing and wherever you’re hauling.
  • Slippery: Switch to this mode to take on wet and icy roads with confidence. This mode can also be used for crossing terrain where a firm surface is covered with loose, wet, or slippery material. Slippery mode lowers throttle response and optimizes shifting for slippery surfaces.
  • Eco: This mode monitors changes in shifts and speeds, then adjusts the engine and transmission performance to encourage efficient driving.
  • Sport: This mode increases accelerator pedal response and provides a sportier steering feel. The powertrain system holds onto lower gears longer for enhanced acceleration.

The available FX4® Off-Road Package gives you access to these additional drive mode/s, which work by engaging the AWD lock:

2025 models

  • Off-Road: This mode helps the vehicle in low-speed off-road environments. Use this mode for driving through mud, sand, rough and uneven off-road terrains.

2024 models and older

  • Mud & Ruts: This mode helps enhance vehicle performance to traverse muddy, rutted, or uneven terrains.
  • Sand: Engage this mode for off-road driving on soft, dry sand, or deep snow.

Take performance to the track with Lobo Mode only available on Maverick® Lobo™.

  • Lobo Mode: Adjust gear ratios, throttle response, and handling characteristics to maximize your control and help you keep your line.* Engaging Lobo Mode also controls the twin-clutch rear drive unit to enable torque vectoring,** which can shift torque between the drive wheels to improve cornering performance and reduce understeer.

*Closed-course use only.

**Intended for track use only. Do not use on public roads. See Owner’s Manual for important operating instructions.

Always consult the Owner’s Manual before off-road driving, know your terrain and trail difficulty, and use appropriate safety gear.
