Power and Efficiency: Which Covers your Drive Better?

When you get behind the wheel of both Ford pickups, you’ll find quite the different drive with unique perks. For example, command the 2022 Ford Maverick, and you’ll ride with a 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain, loaded with 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft torque, helping you tow up to 4,000 lbs, which is enough strength for most powersport vehicles like dirt bikes and ATVs or moving a light utility trailer. Plus, with up to EPA-estimated 42 city mpg, gas station stops can feel like a rarity when you’re commuting around Clermont, FL, or taking a road trip.

By comparison, the 2022 Ford Ranger lets you ride with a 2.3L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder motor, which loads you with 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft torque, helping you tow up to 7,500 lbs to help you move light travel and teardrop trailers to help you prep for the ultimate weekend outing. Plus, with up to EPA-estimated 21 city mpg, you’ll get extra help in cruising with minimal gas station stops. So, the winner for you depends on whether you want boosted hybrid-tier efficiency or if you need the extra power.
