Why Kansas City Buyers Drive to Gower for Their Ford Bronco

This is the decision that shapes everything else about your Maverick. Fuel economy, towing, payload, which trims you can order, even whether you can flat-tow it behind an RV — all of it follows from picking the 2.5L hybrid or the 2.0L EcoBoost. We have both sitting on the lot in Gower, so the numbers below come off real window stickers, not a configurator. Should you get the Maverick hybrid or the EcoBoost? Choose the hybrid if fuel economy matters and you tow occasionally or not at all — it is EPA-rated up to 42 MPG city. Choose the 2.0L EcoBoost if you want meaningfully more power, at 250 horsepower against the hybrid's 184 combined, or if you want a Lobo or Tremor, which come only with the EcoBoost. Both tow the same. Both haul nearly the same. The real trade is 13 combined MPG against 66 horsepower, and which side of that matters more depends entirely on how you actually use a truck. The short version: most Maverick buyers should take the hybrid. The people who genuinely should not are the ones who want a Lobo or Tremor, tow near the limit regularly, or spend most of their miles merging onto highways with a loaded bed. How much better is the hybrid on fuel? Substantially. The hybrid with front-wheel drive is EPA-rated at 42 city / 35 highway / 38 combined. The 2.0L EcoBoost with front-wheel drive rates 23 / 32 / 26. Compared like-for-like with all-wheel drive on both, it is 37 combined against 25.

Their window stickers read 36 combined and 25 combined, matching the EPA figures above exactly. We did not pull these numbers off a website. The clearest way to see the gap is the figure the EPA puts on every window sticker: gallons used per 100 miles. The hybrid Lariat's sticker reads 2.8 gallons per 100 miles. The EcoBoost XLT's reads 4.0. At the EPA's standard 15,000 miles a year, that is roughly 180 gallons of fuel — the difference between filling the tank about 31 times a year and about 44 times. Notice the highway numbers narrow considerably. Hybrid front-drive is 35 highway against the EcoBoost's 32 — only three apart. Nearly all the hybrid's advantage lives in city and stop-and-go driving, which is exactly where its electric motor does the most work. If your miles are almost entirely interstate, the hybrid's case gets weaker. How much more powerful is the EcoBoost? The 2.0L EcoBoost is rated at 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The 2.5L hybrid is rated at 184 horsepower combined. That is a 66 horsepower gap, and it is noticeable when merging, passing, or climbing a grade with a loaded bed. 2.5L Hybrid 2.0L EcoBoost Horsepower 184 combined 250 @ 5,500 rpm Torque Not published as a combined figure 280 lb-ft @ 3,000 rpm Transmission Power-split electronic CVT 8-speed automatic (7-speed Quick Shift on Lobo) Drivetrains FWD or AWD FWD, AWD, or Advanced 4WD Fuel tank 13.8 gal 16.5 gal Engine built in Chihuahua, Mexico Dearborn, Michigan Two honest notes on those numbers. The hybrid's 184 is a combined system output — Ford calculates it from the gas engine and the electric motor together at peak battery power, using the SAE J1349 standard plus its own motor dyno testing. It is not a figure you can reach by adding two numbers off a spec sheet. Second, Ford does not publish a combined torque rating for the hybrid. That field is blank on Ford's own specifications. The electric motor alone is rated at 140kW and 236 lb-ft, but there is no published system torque figure, so we are not going to invent one to make the comparison look tidier. If a site quotes you a hybrid torque number, ask where it came from. What the gap feels like: the hybrid is not slow. Its electric motor delivers torque immediately from a stop, so around town it feels quicker than 184 horsepower suggests. The EcoBoost's advantage shows up above about 40 MPH — merging, passing, and towing on grades. Do the hybrid and EcoBoost tow and haul the same? Towing is identical: both are rated at 2,000 lbs standard and up to 4,000 lbs with the available 4K Tow Package. Payload is nearly identical too, at 1,500 lbs for most configurations, dropping to 1,400 lbs for the hybrid with all-wheel drive. Configuration Max payload 2.5L Hybrid FWD 1,500 lbs 2.5L Hybrid AWD 1,400 lbs 2.0L EcoBoost FWD 1,500 lbs 2.0L EcoBoost AWD 1,500 lbs 2.0L EcoBoost, Tremor 1,140 lbs 2.0L EcoBoost, Lobo 1,045 lbs This surprises people, and it is the single most useful thing on this page: the hybrid tows exactly as much as the EcoBoost. If you assumed you needed the gas engine to get the 4,000 lb rating, you do not. The 4K Tow Package is what determines that, not the engine. Two limits worth knowing. The 4K Tow Package requires all-wheel drive, and it is not offered on the Lobo or the Tremor — both of those cap at 2,000 lbs regardless of how they are equipped. So if towing 4,000 lbs is the requirement, you are looking at an XL, XLT, or Lariat with all-wheel drive, in either engine. Which trims can you get each engine on? The 2.5L hybrid is standard on XL, XLT, and Lariat, with the 2.0L EcoBoost available on those same three. The Lobo and Tremor are offered only with the 2.0L EcoBoost. There is no hybrid Lobo and no hybrid Tremor. Trim 2.5L Hybrid 2.0L EcoBoost XL Standard Available XLT Standard Available Lobo Not offered Standard Lariat Standard Available Tremor Not offered Standard If you have your heart set on a Lobo or a Tremor, the engine decision is already made for you. Everywhere else in the lineup you get to choose. What else is different between them? Three things beyond fuel and power: the hybrid can be flat-towed behind an RV with all four wheels down, hybrid-specific components carry longer warranty coverage, and the hybrid uses a smaller fuel tank but still travels farther between fills. Flat-tow capability. A Maverick with the 2.5L hybrid can be towed with all four wheels down behind a properly equipped RV, in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. This is a hybrid-only capability and it is a decisive factor for RV owners. Warranty on hybrid components. Every Maverick carries 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage. Hybrid-unique components carry 8-year/100,000-mile coverage, which is worth knowing if battery longevity is your concern about going hybrid. Range, despite the smaller tank. The hybrid holds 13.8 gallons against the EcoBoost's 16.5. Multiply each by its combined rating and the hybrid still goes meaningfully farther between stops — roughly 520 miles against 410 for the front-drive versions. Those are calculated figures, not EPA ratings, but the direction is not close. Ground clearance. Marginal, but real: 8.1 inches on the hybrid, 8.0 with the EcoBoost in front-wheel drive, 8.3 with all-wheel drive. Which one should you buy? Take the hybrid unless you have a specific reason not to. It tows the same, hauls almost the same, costs far less to run, and covers most of what a Maverick buyer actually does. The EcoBoost earns its place for buyers who want real power, want a Lobo or Tremor, or tow near the limit regularly. You commute, and the truck is a truck on weekends: hybrid, front-wheel drive. 42 city. You want the hybrid plus winter and gravel confidence: hybrid, all-wheel drive. Still 37 combined. You tow 4,000 lbs: either engine, all-wheel drive, with the 4K Tow Package. You tow near the limit on hills, often: EcoBoost, for the extra power under load. You want a Lobo or a Tremor: EcoBoost. It is the only option. You flat-tow behind an RV: hybrid. Only the hybrid can do it. Your miles are nearly all interstate: worth a real conversation. The highway gap is only three MPG on front-drive models.

Maverick hybrid vs EcoBoost questions, answered Is the Ford Maverick hybrid or EcoBoost better? It depends on how you drive. The 2.5L hybrid is EPA-rated up to 42 city / 35 highway / 38 combined MPG and is the better choice for commuting and general use. The 2.0L EcoBoost delivers 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque against the hybrid's 184 combined horsepower, making it the better choice for towing near the limit or if you want a Lobo or Tremor, which come only with the EcoBoost. Does the Ford Maverick hybrid tow less than the EcoBoost? No. Both engines are rated at 2,000 lbs standard and up to 4,000 lbs with the available 4K Tow Package, which requires all-wheel drive. The engine does not determine towing capacity on the Maverick; the package does. The Lobo and Tremor cap at 2,000 lbs since the 4K Tow Package is not offered on them. How much horsepower does the 2026 Maverick hybrid have? The 2.5L hybrid is rated at 184 horsepower combined. Ford calculates that figure from the gas engine and electric motor together at peak battery power, using the SAE J1349 standard along with its own electric motor dyno testing. Ford does not publish a combined torque rating for the hybrid; the electric motor alone is rated at 140kW and 236 lb-ft. Which Maverick trims come with the hybrid engine? The 2.5L hybrid is standard on the XL, XLT, and Lariat, with the 2.0L EcoBoost available on those same three trims. The Lobo and Tremor are offered only with the 2.0L EcoBoost, so there is no hybrid Lobo and no hybrid Tremor. Can a Ford Maverick hybrid be flat towed behind an RV? Yes. A Maverick equipped with the 2.5L hybrid engine can be towed with all four wheels down behind a properly equipped RV, in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. This capability is specific to the hybrid and is not available with the 2.0L EcoBoost. What is the warranty on the Ford Maverick hybrid battery? Hybrid-unique components on the Maverick carry 8-year/100,000-mile coverage. That sits alongside the standard 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage that applies to every Maverick regardless of engine.

There are Ford dealers a lot closer to Overland Park than Gower, Missouri. So it is fair to ask why Kansas City Maverick shoppers point the car north on US-169 and drive 45 minutes to a town of about 1,500 people. With this particular truck, the answer has less to do with the drive and more to do with the fact that the Maverick is a configuration puzzle, and metro lots tend to stock one or two pieces of it. Why do Kansas City buyers drive to Gower for a Ford Maverick? Roughly 60% of Dennis Sneed Ford's business comes from the Kansas City metro. Maverick buyers make the drive because the truck comes in two engines, three drivetrains, and five trims, and finding the exact combination you want is usually harder than finding a dealer. We factory-order, and a small-town store carries lower overhead than a metro dealership. Consider what "a Maverick" can actually mean. Hybrid or EcoBoost. Front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, or advanced four-wheel drive. XL, XLT, Lobo, Lariat, or Tremor. With or without the 4K Tow Package, which changes towing from 2,000 lbs to 4,000. Two of those trims can only be had with one engine. That is a lot of branches, and the difference between them is not cosmetic. A hybrid front-drive XLT is EPA-rated at 42 city. A Tremor is rated at 21. Those are the same nameplate and they are not remotely the same truck to own. The honest version: most metro lots stock the configurations that sell fastest. If what you want happens to be one of those, buy it there. If it is not, you are either settling or ordering — and ordering is what we do all day. How far is Dennis Sneed Ford from Kansas City? Dennis Sneed Ford is at 1046 S.W. Highway 169, Gower, MO 64454 — about 45 minutes north of the Kansas City metro on US-169, and roughly 30 minutes south of St. Joseph. It is a straight highway run, not a back-roads trip. US-169 runs north out of the metro through Smithville and Plattsburg and lands you in Gower. From the Northland it is closer to half an hour. From the Kansas side it is a longer haul, and plenty of Overland Park and Leawood buyers still make it, usually once, to pick up the Maverick they already configured over the phone. Kansas City Overland Park Liberty Smithville Lees Summit Kearney Excelsior Springs Plattsburg Leavenworth St. Joseph Worth a small note if you are buying the hybrid: at its EPA combined rating, the drive back to the metro uses a bit over a gallon of fuel. This is the one vehicle we sell where the trip home is genuinely cheap. Is it worth driving out of the metro to buy a Maverick? For most Maverick shoppers, yes — because the hard part of buying a Maverick is finding the right configuration, not finding a dealer. If your exact build is not on a lot anywhere, a factory order gets you the truck you actually wanted rather than the closest available compromise.

Dennis Sneed Ford factory-orders to spec, and roughly 60% of our business already comes from the Kansas City metro. Can I order a Ford Maverick built to my exact specification? Yes. Because the Maverick is configuration-heavy, with two engines, three drivetrains, five trims, and packages that change towing and equipment, a factory order is often the better route than settling for what happens to be in stock.

Used Mavericks are harder to find than used almost anything else, and they hold their value accordingly. When you do find one, the configuration matters far more than the mileage — two trucks with the same trim badge can differ by powertrain, drivetrain, and tow rating all at once. Here is how to shop one properly. Top 5 Ford remarketing dealer nationally 1,100+ Vehicles a year direct from Ford 2 or 4 Wheel drive options 30 yrs Family-owned in Gower, MO Where do the used Mavericks at Dennis Sneed Ford come from? Most come directly from Ford. Dennis Sneed Ford is a Top 5 Ford remarketing dealer nationally, purchasing 1,100+ late-model Ford and Lincoln vehicles straight from Ford each year. For a vehicle as hard to find used as the Maverick, that sourcing is the difference between having one and waiting for a trade-in to walk through the door. The Maverick has been supply-constrained since it launched, and used examples do not sit on lots. Most dealerships get them one at a time, when somebody trades one in. Remarketing is a different pipeline entirely — off-lease, factory, and program vehicles coming back through Ford and getting placed with dealers who buy at volume. That does not mean we always have one. It means when a used Maverick shows up here, it came through a channel most stores our size do not have access to. Should you buy a new or used Ford Maverick? Be honest with yourself about the math on this one. Maverick demand has been strong since launch and used examples hold value well, so the gap between a two-year-old truck and a new one built to your spec is often narrower than on other vehicles. Sometimes ordering new is the better answer. On most vehicles, used is the obvious value play. The Maverick is one of the exceptions. If you find a used one in the exact configuration you want, take a hard look at it. If you are looking at one that is close but not quite right — wrong drivetrain, no tow package, wrong powertrain for your commute — a factory order may serve you better, and we will say so. Search Used Inventory Search New Maverick Inventory Value Your Trade What should you check on a used Ford Maverick? Check the powertrain, the drivetrain, and whether it has the tow package, before you look at mileage. Those three choices change fuel economy by nearly 20 MPG, change payload by hundreds of pounds, and double or halve what the truck can pull. Trim badge alone tells you almost nothing. What to check Why it matters Hybrid or EcoBoost The single biggest difference in how the truck drives and what it costs to run Front-wheel or all-wheel drive Changes fuel economy, payload, and winter capability Tow package Determines whether it is rated for 2,000 lbs or 4,000 lbs Bed equipment Bedliner, tie-down rails, tonneau, and bed lighting vary widely Pro Power Onboard Bed and cab power outlets, included on some trims and packages only History report We provide free Autocheck and Carfax on our used inventory The tow package is the one people miss most often. Two Mavericks can look identical in a listing and be rated for double the trailer weight apart. Look for the trailer brake controller and the 7-pin connector alongside the 4-pin — that combination is the tell. The five-minute check that saves the trip: call and have us read you the window sticker on the specific truck. It lists the powertrain, drivetrain, packages, and original equipment in one place. On a vehicle this configuration-dependent, that is worth more than any amount of listing-photo study. Which used Maverick trim should you look for? For most buyers, an XLT. It carries the comfort and convenience equipment people notice daily without the price step of the top trims, and it is the volume trim, so used examples turn up more often than XL, Lobo, or Tremor. Best odds of finding one: XLT. It is the volume trim by a wide margin. Maximum fuel economy: a hybrid with front-wheel drive. You tow or haul regularly: look for the EcoBoost with the tow package. You drive gravel or want winter confidence: all-wheel drive, or a Tremor if you find one. You want comfort: Lariat, for the leather-look seats, dual-zone climate, and upgraded audio. One note on trim names: the Maverick lineup has changed since launch, and not every trim offered today existed in earlier model years. Match the badge to the model year in front of you rather than assuming a name means the same thing across the generation, and read the window sticker rather than the listing title. Our 2026 colors guide is a good example of why — several colors are new this year and were never offered on earlier trucks. What is a manufacturer buyback Maverick? A manufacturer buyback is a vehicle originally sold as new, repurchased by Ford because of a warranty concern, repaired by Ford, and released for resale. It may carry a branded title. It is not a salvage or rebuilt-title vehicle, and it was not in an accident, flooded, or declared a total loss by an insurer. Dennis Sneed Ford is one of a limited number of Ford dealers nationally that participates in this program. On a vehicle as hard to find used as the Maverick, it is worth understanding, because it occasionally puts one on the lot that would not otherwise be there. The part most people want to know A manufacturer buyback may carry a branded title. We say that plainly because it is the most important thing to understand before buying one, and it is why these are offered at a discount. We provide a free Autocheck and Carfax on every one so you can see the history yourself. The vehicle comes with the balance of the original factory warranty or a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty, whichever is longer. It is not right for every buyer. If you plan to trade in a few years, factor the branded title into that decision. If you plan to keep the truck, it can be a strong value. Full detail is on our manufacturer buyback program page, and we will walk you through any specific vehicle either way. Where can you see used Mavericks near Kansas City?

Check whether it is the hybrid or the EcoBoost, whether it has front-wheel or all-wheel drive, and whether it has the tow package, before you look at mileage. Those three choices change fuel economy substantially, change payload by hundreds of pounds, and determine whether the truck is rated for 2,000 or 4,000 lbs of towing. Confirm all of it on the window sticker rather than the listing title. Is a used Ford Maverick a good value? It depends on the specific truck. Maverick demand has been strong since launch and used examples hold their value well, so the gap between a used one and a new one built to your specification is often narrower than on other vehicles. If a used Maverick is in the exact configuration you want, it is worth a serious look. If it is close but not right, a factory order may serve you better. How can I tell if a used Maverick has the tow package? Look for a trailer brake controller and a 7-pin connector alongside the 4-pin connector. The 4K Tow Package adds both, along with upgraded cooling and a conventional spare tire, and raises the rating from 2,000 lbs to 4,000 lbs. The window sticker confirms it definitively.
