Back in the day, a truck was a truck, built solely for work. Body-on-frame, burly, able to haul horses and hay without breaking a sweat. Right? Given the intense one-upmanship in the half-ton pickup space, and the equally impressive size and capabilities of the "mid-sizers," you'd be forgiven for thinking this has continued to be the case. But utility has always been a spectrum, and we once were offered smaller pickups in a variety of shapes and sizes that paired surprising payload capabilities with great affordability. The compact truck is back, and its name is Maverick—and the way the 2022 Ford Maverick hybrid's "base" powertrain behaved in our testing should make you sit up and rethink all your assumptions about what a pickup can and should be.

If there's only one thing you take away from this first test, it's that the 2.5-liter I-4 and permanent-magnet electric motors are more than up to the challenge of the work this truck will be asked to do. It even pulled a light trailer with shocking confidence and ease. And the planetary continuously variable transmission is no buzzkill, either, providing smooth and linear power delivery that enabled the little truck to post some solid test numbers.
