Maverick gas tank size and range
The Maverick gas tank size depends on the powertrain: 13.8 gallons for the hybrid and 16.5 gallons for the 2.0L EcoBoost in the 2022 manual. Range is the tank times the EPA rating: about 520 miles for a 2026 hybrid FWD (13.8 gallons at 38 mpg) and about 430 miles for an EcoBoost FWD (16.5 gallons at 26 mpg). Your real range depends on weather and load. Plan a trip with the trip gas cost calculator.
| Years | Engine | Fuel tank | EPA combined | Range on a full tank |

| 2022 | 2.0L EcoBoost 4-cylinder | 16.5 gal1 | 25–26 mpg | about 410–430 miles |

Maverick tire pressure
Find the pressure on the tire and loading information label on the driver’s door pillar. Ford’s manual doesn’t list one number, because it depends on the tire size; the Tremor’s all-terrain tires differ from the street tires on an XL. Check them cold. For the warning light, see tire pressure light.
Check your owner’s manual, or the tire and loading information label on the driver’s door jamb.
Oil at a glance
The hybrid takes 0W-20 and the 2.0L EcoBoost takes 5W-30, each to its own Ford spec. The Maverick oil page has the capacities and why the 2.0L figure changed.
| Years | Engine | Oil | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2.0L EcoBoost 4-cylinder | 5W-301 | 5.5 qt (5.2 L) with filter |

Maverick towing capacity
Ford’s 2026 towing guide rates every Maverick at 2,000 lb. With the 4K Tow Package (code 53Q), the 2.0L EcoBoost (FWD or AWD) and the hybrid AWD are rated 4,000 lb; the hybrid FWD stays at 2,000 lb. The package adds a Class III hitch, a 4-/7-pin connector, and a transmission oil cooler on the hybrid or a radiator upgrade on the 2.0L. Check the window sticker or your dealer for the package before you hook up a 4,000-lb trailer.

Recalls: check by VIN
Maverick recalls usually cover specific build dates and powertrains. Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls; it is at the base of the windshield on the driver’s side. Ford dealers repair recalls at no cost to you.
What to record in your log
A hybrid’s mileage depends on trip length and weather more than a gas truck’s does, so one tank isn’t a fair test. A log shows your real average:
- Fill-ups with odometer and gallons; the MPG calculator turns two full fills into mpg.
- Oil changes with the grade: 0W-20 for the hybrid, 5W-30 for the EcoBoost.
- Bed loads and trailer trips, which change both mpg and maintenance.
- Tire rotations and pressure checks.
Keep the service side in a car maintenance log. Milealot for iPhone — coming soon — will track fill-ups, mpg, and service reminders by mileage and date.
