Lithia Springs Ford – Why Austell, GA Drivers See the 2026 Maverick Lobo™ as the Street-Smart Compact Truck to Beat
If you want a compact pickup that brings genuine truck utility with a sport-tuned edge, the 2026 Maverick Lobo™ stands out with hardware you can feel every time the road opens up. Its 2.0L EcoBoost® engine delivers brisk, confident acceleration, and the 7-speed quick shift transmission with paddle shifters lets you keep the powerband right where you want it. A torque vectoring capable twin clutch rear drive unit heightens cornering precision in a way you do not expect from a pickup this practical, while performance-tuned steering and suspension round out a chassis that is both lively and composed. Inside, the standard 13.2-inch SYNC® 4 display anchors a clean, intuitive cockpit, and the FLEXBED® Storage System keeps hauls tidy for projects and weekends around Austell, GA. The result is a pickup that is easy to park, big on capability, and eager for a winding backroad.
