Ford Maverick 300t Concept Uses A Mustang Turbo To Hit 300 Hp, And Ford Plans To Sell It To Customers

Ford

Ford really did hit it retired of nan parkland pinch nan Maverick. A comparatively small, applicable motortruck that's besides inexpensive and substance efficient? No wonderment it's trading for illustration basking cakes. For nan 2025 exemplary year, Ford moreover added a athletics type called nan Maverick Lobo that proved to beryllium a hoot, moreover if you didn't get immoderate other power. If you're looking for a quicker Maverick, though, you aren't retired of luck. For SEMA this year, Ford is showing disconnected nan Maverick 300T Concept, a 300-horsepower build that it plans to statesman trading to customers sometime adjacent year.

Sadly, there's nary manual transmission (since you can't get nan Maverick pinch a manual transmission), but different than that, nan 300T sounds for illustration a beautiful cool small package. Instead of swapping successful a caller engine, Ford stuck pinch nan turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, but it borrowed nan turbo from nan four-cylinder Mustang to boost nan powerfulness output up to 300 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. That's an other 50 hp and 40 lb-ft complete nan banal output, truthful you should decidedly beryllium capable to consciousness nan difference. 

I'm not judge I really bargain Ford's declare that it's "swapping successful Mustang DNA pinch a turbocharger transplant," but what are you going to do? It's a property release. They're expected to hype nan heck retired of immoderate they're penning about, moreover if they conscionable put nan turbo from 1 four-cylinder motor connected a different four-cylinder engine. But while we're connected nan taxable of "swapping successful Mustang DNA," why not find a spot for nan Mustang GT's V8, moreover if it's successful nan bed? I'd return mid-engine, rear-wheel thrust Maverick. Is it practical? Not astatine all, but we're conscionable spitballing here.

There's much to nan Maverick 300T conception than a elemental turbo swap, too. Ford besides added a Mishimoto intercooler that's 59% larger than banal and reportedly improves somesthesia simplification by 40% and a 20% simplification successful unit drop. There's besides a Borla exhaust, and Ford reworked nan suspension, adding lowering springs that driblet nan beforehand extremity by 10 mm and nan rear by 30 mm to springiness it a sportier stance, while the upgraded rear dampers and stiffer stabilizer barroom thief pinch handling. Plus, you get a fewer ocular upgrades, specified as Ford Performance badges connected nan fenders, grille and level mats.

Ford past added 20-inch Mach-E GT wheels "wearing Pirelli P ZERO ELECT tires." Except it isn't wearing Pirelli P Zero Elect tires because nan Maverick 300T really uses Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires for nan show. Why? Because, arsenic nan merchandise put it, "well, they look amazing." So, wherever do nan Pirellis travel in, and why mention tires that you won't spot connected nan concept? In different portion of nan release, they're listed arsenic nan recommended tire. So why nan Michelins? 

Ultimately, though, nan circumstantial tires don't matter astir arsenic overmuch arsenic Ford's declare that this motortruck is "genuinely nosy to drive." Especially since Ford says it "[plans] to make a type of nan 300T task kit disposable to customers successful 2026." How overmuch it will costs to adhd nan 300T package to your Maverick and erstwhile precisely it will spell connected sale, Ford still has yet to say, but it already proved it could make nan Maverick beautiful darn nosy to thrust pinch nan Lobo, truthful don't beryllium amazed erstwhile nan 300T package ends up being beautiful darn desirable. 

That doesn't mean I'm not still confused astir nan tyre thing, though.
