Test drive: The 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid is a cheap little truck ... in a good way

The Ford Maverick Hybrid pickup may be the most appropriate vehicle you’ll find in any automaker’s lineup today.

The brand is all-in on trucks and SUVs and going big on electrification, so it makes perfect sense that its new entry-level model would combine those things.

At a starting price of $21,490, the Mexican-made Maverick isn’t just the lowest-priced Ford, but also the lowest-priced pickup and lowest-priced hybrid currently on sale. So think of it as a three-for-one deal.

I was surprised to see the valuation so low but if you've been to a Del Taco lately they have fallen in terms of product quality.
