2026 Ford Maverick XLT: The Smart Choice for Bountiful Drivers

The 2026 Ford Maverick continues to redefine what a compact pickup truck can be, and for drivers in Bountiful, the XLT trim level represents the perfect blend of value, functionality, and style. If you are looking for a highly capable vehicle that can handle the daily commute and weekend mountain adventures without draining your wallet, the Maverick XLT is your answer.

At Performance Ford Bountiful, we believe the XLT is the smart buyer’s choice, offering key upgrades over the base XL model that significantly improve the daily experience.

Key XLT Trim Highlights

The Maverick XLT steps up the game with thoughtful enhancements that elevate both style and functionality:

Elevated Style

The XLT replaces the base model’s steel wheels with attractive 17-inch Carbonized Gray aluminum wheels, giving it a sharper, more polished exterior look that stands out on Bountiful’s streets.

Convenience Features

Enjoy seamless entry and startup with Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start, a feature that adds a premium feel to this workhorse and makes daily driving more convenient.

Enhanced Bed Utility

The innovative FLEXBED® system is improved on the XLT with an increase to 10 total bed tie-downs (four more than the XL) and the addition of a useful bed cubby storage compartment on the passenger side for organizing smaller gear.

• 10 Total Bed Tie-Downs: Four more tie-down points than the base XL model for superior cargo management
• Bed Cubby Storage: Passenger-side storage compartment keeps smaller items organized and accessible
• FLEXBED® System: Innovative bed features that maximize utility and versatility

Power, Efficiency, and All-Wheel Drive Capability

The XLT is versatile, offering both of the Maverick’s excellent engine options, including the crucial choice of All-Wheel Drive (AWD)—a must-have for snowy Bountiful winters.

Standard Hybrid Powertrain

The XLT comes standard with the efficient 2.5L Hybrid engine, delivering 191 horsepower and targeting impressive fuel economy ratings, making it a fantastic commuter vehicle. Crucially, the Hybrid is now available with AWD, providing confidence in all weather conditions. It boasts a standard 2,000-pound towing capacity, perfect for hauling recreational gear up the Wasatch Front.

Optional 2.0L EcoBoost

For maximum capability, you can opt for the 250-horsepower 2.0L EcoBoost® turbo engine. When equipped with the 4K Towing Package, this setup provides a robust 4,000-pound maximum towing capacity, perfect for hauling recreational gear up the Wasatch Front.
