The 2027 Ford Maverick lineup spans five distinct trims across two engine families, and picking the wrong one means either overpaying for features you will not use or missing capabilities you will wish you had. This guide breaks down every trim - from the entry XL hybrid through the Lobo and Tremor - so Nassau County shoppers can make a fast, confident decision before arriving at Levittown Ford.
Bottom Line: The 2027 Maverick spans five trims: hybrid-powered XL, XLT, and Lariat for efficiency; the EcoBoost-powered Lobo for street performance; and the EcoBoost-powered Tremor for off-road capability.
- XL, XLT, and Lariat use the 2.5L hybrid with power-split CVT in FWD or AWD
- Lobo uses a 7-speed quick-shift transmission with twin-clutch AWD for sport-tuned street driving
- Tremor uses the 8-speed automatic with advanced 4WD, raised suspension, and all-terrain tires
XL: The Entry Hybrid That Punches Above Its Price
The XL is the value leader in the Maverick lineup and more capable than its price suggests. Every XL gets the 2.5L hybrid with a power-split electric CVT, a 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a full suite of standard driver assistance features including lane keeping, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, and a rear camera.
The XL’s FLEXBED storage system and six cargo tie-downs make it genuinely practical for home projects in Levittown or quick supply runs for contractors in East Meadow. For 2027, the perimeter alarm is now standard on the XL, and the tire inflator and sealant kit replaces the mini spare - a conventional 17-inch spare is optional, and it comes included with the 4K Tow Package.
Buyers who want additional safety features can add the Ford Co-Pilot360 package, which brings BLIS with cross-traffic alert, exit warning, and rear cross-traffic braking. The XL is available in FWD or AWD hybrid configuration - a rare combination at its price point that makes it ideal for Long Island winters.
XLT: The Volume Trim With the Widest Options Menu
The XLT is the most configurable Maverick and the one most Nassau County buyers end up choosing. It steps up to 17-inch painted aluminum wheels, intelligent access with push-button start, a trailer hitch receiver with 4-pin connector, and a passenger-side bed cubby storage system.
The XLT’s biggest news for 2027 is that the FX4 Off-Road Package is now included on the XLT upper level (the 2.0L EcoBoost AWD configuration) without requiring any additional packages. That means the upper-level XLT gets all-terrain tires, exposed front tow hooks, Hill Descent Control, off-road cluster screen, skid plates, and a performance suspension upgrade at a more accessible price than in previous years.
The XLT can also be ordered with the new Bronze Appearance Package, which adds 19-inch Sinister Bronze wheels, bronze exterior graphics and accents, a black grille, and unique black cloth seats. This is a striking new visual option for buyers who want a more distinctive look without stepping up to the Lariat or Lobo.
Lariat: The Comfort and Technology Sweet Spot
The Lariat is where the Maverick lineup gains full luxury and technology content. Standard equipment includes 19-inch machined painted aluminum wheels, LED projector headlamps, body-color handles, ActiveX-trimmed seats with an 8-way power driver position, heated seats and mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate, and Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 with a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise with lane centering, and front and rear parking sensors.
New for 2027, the Lariat Luxury Package adds the 8-speaker B&O audio system with HD Radio, LED box lighting, a power-sliding rear window, Pro Power Onboard 400W with dual USB outlets, and wireless charging. This package brings the Lariat’s tech content close to what the Lobo High level offers. The Lariat is also available with the Bronze Appearance Package, delivering the distinctive bronze-and-black look with unique black ActiveX seats.
The Lariat is hybrid-only in FWD or AWD configurations for 2027 - Ford discontinued the 2.0L EcoBoost option on the Lariat. AWD Lariat buyers can also add the 4K Tow Package with a Class III receiver and trailer brake controller.
"The 2027 lineup simplifies the decision at every level - the hybrid is more standard, the XLT upper level now includes FX4 without extra packages, and the Lobo and Tremor are clear about what they are built for. We are seeing customers in Wantagh and Seaford make faster decisions because the lineup is easier to read."

Lobo vs. Tremor: The Performance Variants
The Lobo is Ford’s answer to buyers who want a compact pickup with sport-car driving dynamics. Its 7-speed quick-shift transmission with paddle shifters, lowered and tuned suspension, enhanced brakes, and Lobo drive mode make it the most driver-focused Maverick. The Lobo uses advanced 4WD with a twin-clutch rear drive unit - the same as the Tremor, but tuned for street use rather than off-road crawling.
The Tremor builds on Lariat content and pivots to off-road capability: raised suspension, front skid plates, all-terrain 235/65R17 tires, Trail Control with Trail 1-Pedal Drive, 4WD lock, rear drive unit lock, and orange accent details throughout. The B&O audio, Pro Power Onboard, wireless charging, and all-weather floor mats are all standard on the Tremor. It is not stripped-down hardware - it is a comfortable truck that can also handle rough terrain.
