The Ford Maverick is getting significant price changes for the 2027 model year as the automaker prepares to expand its U.S. pickup lineup with the all-electric Fathom. According to a CarsDirect report, some Maverick models will receive price cuts of up to $4,270, while the turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine will be dropped from the base XL.
Ford Maverick Prices Drop for 2027
The upcoming Ford Fathom, an all-electric pickup based on the brand’s new Universal EV Platform, is expected to begin deliveries in fall 2027. Its arrival will expand Ford’s U.S. pickup lineup to four models alongside the Maverick, Ranger, and F-150.
Against that backdrop, some 2027 Maverick models are reportedly becoming less expensive. CarsDirect stated that the 2027 Maverick will see price cuts of up to $4,270, giving Ford more affordable pickup options alongside the upcoming Fathom, while the Ranger and F-150 occupy more of the $40,000-plus price range.
Base Maverick Drops the EcoBoost Engine
According to the report, Ford will remove the turbocharged 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine from the base XL for 2027, leaving the 2.5-liter hybrid as the trim’s sole powertrain.
The hybrid, which reportedly will not receive a price cut for the 2027 model year, prioritizes fuel efficiency and has a factory output of 184 horsepower. The EcoBoost engine produces 250 hp.
The Maverick XL Hybrid will start at $28,145, excluding destination. The Maverick XLT AWD will become the most affordable EcoBoost model, with a starting price of $30,745.
Upper Maverick Trims Receive Larger Discounts
Although the change raises the entry point for an EcoBoost Maverick by about $3,600, higher trims are receiving substantial price reductions.
The street-truck-inspired Lobo will have an MSRP of $32,155, about $3,775 less than the outgoing model. The better-equipped Lobo High receives the largest reduction, dropping $4,270 from $41,425 to $37,155.
The more premium-oriented Lariat will also lose the EcoBoost option altogether. Meanwhile, the off-road-focused Maverick Tremor, which comes standard with the turbocharged engine, will start at $37,155, representing a $3,490 reduction and bringing the model below the $40,000 mark.
How the Maverick Compares With Ford’s Other Trucks
Ford’s 2026 Ranger starts at $33,550 and rises to $57,665 for the off-road-focused Ranger Raptor. The larger 2026 F-150 starts at $39,585, while the standard Raptor begins at $79,005.
The wider price separation could be useful for buyers considering both the Maverick and Ranger. The upcoming Fathom will occupy a more distinct position with its all-electric powertrain and sub-$30,000 starting price.
Ford Has Not Given a Reason for the Price Cuts
The report did not state Ford’s reason for reducing Maverick prices. However, the changes include significant reductions on several trims, while no major reductions in standard equipment are apparent.
With the 2027 Maverick lineup receiving price changes and the Fathom expected to arrive in fall 2027, Ford is set to offer a broader range of pickup choices across different price points and powertrain configurations.
