Ford debuts the all-new 2022 Ford Maverick
The all-new 2022 Ford Maverick debuted in June and will go on sale at Ford dealerships across the country in the fall. According to Ford’s truck group marketing manager Todd Eckert, “Maverick challenges the status quo and the stereotypes of what a pickup truck can be.” While other carmakers focus on providing a bigger and better truck, Ford caters to customers who want a compact truck that’s light enough for city driving and spacious enough for weekend getaways. Truly, a dream truck for many Albertans.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur needing to haul merchandise, have an active household, have projects on the go, or need extra space without the heavy-duty features, the Ford Maverick is a top contender in your search for the perfect light-duty pickup truck. While you’re waiting to test drive a Maverick at your Ford dealer in the fall, check out what this compact truck has to offer.
