2026 Ford Maverick Tremor AWD: Specs, Features & Pricing

The 2026 Maverick Tremor is Ford’s compact pickup with factory off-road equipment, five seats and a turbocharged gasoline engine. Its appeal is an open cargo bed in a smaller vehicle, with a richer cabin than the entry-level Maverick. This Canadian guide covers the Tremor’s specifications and equipment.

Watch the Automotive Car Reviews walkaround below. The research distinguishes Tremor from the hybrid, Lobo and towing-oriented configurations elsewhere in the Maverick range.

2026 Maverick Tremor engine and drivetrain

The Tremor uses a 2.0-litre EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder, rated at 250 hp and 280 lb-ft, with an eight-speed automatic. Ford calls its system Advanced 4WD: it includes a twin-clutch rear drive unit, a rear-unit lock and a 4WD lock function. There is no Tremor hybrid option for 2026.

Other Maverick models offer a 2.5-litre hybrid, with front-wheel drive or available AWD. The Lobo has a different transmission and street-focused equipment. A hybrid fuel figure or a Lobo specification therefore should not be carried into a Tremor review.

Models available in Canada

The Canadian lineup includes XL, XLT, Lobo, Lariat and Tremor. XL and XLT suit shoppers comparing lower acquisition costs; Lariat emphasizes cabin equipment, while Lobo and Tremor have separate hardware priorities. Tremor is a model in this lineup, rather than merely a tire package added to any hybrid.

Compare XLT with the available FX4 package if the required equipment is more limited. Establish the towing requirement before choosing: the highest Maverick towing figure does not describe every version. Features and price should be compared on the same engine, drivetrain and option basis.

Maverick Tremor towing, payload and bed

Tremor’s model-specific Canadian maximum towing figure is 2,000 lb (907 kg), with an available maximum payload of 1,140 lb (about 517 kg). Ford’s broader FAQ contains a conflicting 4K-package statement; the Tremor-specific limit is the figure used here. Do not assume a 4,000-lb rating for this truck.

Ford lists a 2K receiver and four-pin connector. Trailer tongue weight, occupants, tools and accessories all consume payload, so the actual vehicle’s label can be more restrictive than the advertised maximum. Work from the loaded trailer weight and the hitch instructions, rather than its empty weight. The Tremor cannot be flat-towed with all four wheels down.

Its approximately 4½-foot bed provides 943 litres of cargo volume, with 1,082 mm between the wheel wells. A multi-position tailgate and FLEXBED organization make the space adaptable, but bulky cargo still needs proper support and securing. A cover, rack or toolbox also adds weight and can reduce usable bed space.

Fuel economy in Canada

Natural Resources Canada lists the 2026 Maverick Tremor AWD at 11.2 L/100 km city, 8.7 highway and 10.1 combined, using regular gasoline. These figures are specifically for Tremor, rather than the more efficient hybrid or another EcoBoost AWD configuration.

At 20,000 km annually, the combined rating corresponds to approximately 2,020 litres. Multiplying that by your local fuel price gives a useful annual planning estimate. Actual consumption changes with weather, speed, idling, cargo and towing; it is not an owner-specific prediction.

Maverick Tremor interior and seating

There are five seats, with Black Onyx ActiveX upholstery and orange stitching, heated front seats, an eight-way power driver’s seat and dual-zone climate control. Rear under-seat storage helps keep smaller items inside. Check child-seat fit and passenger space using the actual cabin, particularly if all five places will be used regularly.

The Tremor’s orange accents continue through the steering wheel and cabin trim. All-weather mats are useful equipment to check on an inventory truck. A moonroof and a power-sliding rear window are optional; neither should be presented as fitted simply because a promotional photo shows it.

Infotainment and useful technology

Ford lists a 13.2-inch SYNC 4 centre display, an eight-inch instrument display and an eight-speaker B&O system. A 400-watt Pro Power Onboard outlet is listed. Check device compatibility, outlet limits and the terms of connected subscriptions before making them part of your buying decision.

A pickup’s technology is most useful when it fits the job. Compare the camera views, rear charging access, phone connection and bed organization in person. The connected-service package has an included first-year term; ongoing service conditions and costs should be checked at purchase.

Maverick Tremor safety and assistance

The Canadian Tremor feature list includes adaptive cruise, a 360-degree camera, lane keeping, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage and cross-traffic alert. It also lists exit warning, intersection assistance, front/rear parking sensors and reverse braking assistance.

Confirm those features on the actual factory equipment list. Assistance systems have operating conditions and do not establish a trailer’s safe weight or clearance. Cameras are especially useful to compare alongside visibility with your expected cargo and accessories fitted.

Exterior and off-road equipment

Tremor has 17-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, skid plates, exposed front tow hooks and off-road-tuned suspension. Ford gives 231 mm (9.1 inches) of minimum running ground clearance. Trail Control with Trail 1-Pedal Drive is listed equipment; this article does not claim first-hand off-road performance.

Before adding tires or suspension changes, check compatibility, clearance, load rating and warranty implications. For Canadian winter use, budget for tires suitable for the temperatures and conditions you encounter. An all-terrain label alone does not answer every winter-tire question.

2026 Maverick Tremor Canadian pricing

Ford Canada’s 2026 lineup listing showed a C$50,695 starting price for Tremor. Treat it as a dated starting-price reference, not a fully optioned drive-away total. Ask the dealer to itemize freight/PDI, mandatory fees, options, taxes and incentive conditions for the particular truck.

Compare the transaction price with XLT FX4 and Lariat as well as other pickups. The right choice depends on which factory equipment is essential and whether the 2,000-lb towing limit meets the intended job. Financing terms and accessories can materially change the total cost.

Competition and buying considerations

The Hyundai Santa Cruz is the closest compact-pickup alternative to investigate. A Ford Ranger, Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon or Toyota Tacoma belongs on the comparison list if the job requires a larger bed or greater verified capacity. Those trucks have different dimensions and cost structures, so compare exact builds.

Tremor makes sense for a buyer who wants its factory hardware and upgraded cabin in a compact pickup. A hybrid Maverick may be a better shortlist choice when fuel use is the leading priority. For this Tremor, confirm the required passenger space, cargo dimensions, loaded trailer weight and actual payload label before committing.
