Ford Maverick's Fuel Economy Surprise: Same MPG as F-150, But at a Higher Price?

Ford Maverick vs. F-150: A Surprising Fuel Economy Comparison In a recent video posted online, a car enthusiast compared the fuel economy of two popular Ford trucks, the Maverick and the F-150. The comparison, filmed at a Ford dealership in the US, revealed a surprising similarity in their miles per gallon despite a significant difference in size and price. The author, who goes by the nickname Thomas, showed the fuel economy stickers on both vehicles. "I still don’t get how a Ford Maverick can get the same mpg as an F150," he stated in the video. Both stickers indicated a combined fuel economy of 23 mpg. However, the Maverick's MSRP was significantly higher, around $43,000 compared to the F-150's price, which was not specified in the video. This price difference, coupled with comparable fuel efficiency, led Thomas to question the Maverick's value. The video concludes with the author expressing his skepticism about the Maverick's market appeal given its high price point. The comparison highlights a key consideration for potential truck buyers: balancing size, features, and cost with fuel efficiency.
