Stepping up the lineup, the XLT adds 17-inch aluminum wheels, while the Lobo trim shifts the focus toward street-performance styling with unique blackout design elements and a performance-oriented stance. Residents who prefer a more adventurous look might choose the Tremor, which features an elevated ride height and terrain-focused engineering to handle the diverse landscapes of Middle Tennessee. Visual customization remains a highlight for the 2026 model year, with new paint options like Marsh Gray and Orange Fury Metallic Tri-Coat, the latter available for an additional $495. If you are considering a pre-owned model instead, our inventory of used trucks often features well-maintained pickups with similar versatility. The Lariat trim rounds out the aesthetic offerings with more premium exterior touches, ensuring the vehicle looks as polished at a professional office as it does on a weekend supply run.

Efficient Powertrains Built for Navigating Tennessee’s Rolling Hills and Rural Backroads

The 2026 Maverick provides a sophisticated range of mechanical configurations tailored for the diverse topography of Middle Tennessee. For residents managing daily travel through Murfreesboro, the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims feature a 2.5L I4 hybrid engine as the primary power source. This system is engineered for maximum efficiency, achieving an EPA-estimated 40 mpg city and 34 mpg highway, which translates to a 37 combined mpg rating. These models utilize 4WD and, in the case of the XLT and Lariat, a CVT to maintain steady momentum while ascending the rolling hills surrounding Shelbyville.

For those who require increased muscle for rural excursions, the 2.0L EcoBoost I4 engine comes standard on the Lobo and Tremor trims. The Tremor is particularly adept at handling unpaved paths, utilizing Advanced 4WD and an off-road tuned suspension to manage challenging elevations. While the Tremor produces a 25 combined mpg rating, the Lobo offers a street-tuned experience with 27 combined mpg. When the task requires moving heavy gear, the available 4K Tow Package increases the maximum towing capacity to 4,000 pounds for the XL, XLT, and Lariat. To ensure these powertrains remain reliable for years to come, our Parts Department and its selection of manufacturer-approved components provides the necessary support for every maintenance requirement. This mechanical variety allows drivers to select a truck that matches the specific demands of their local environment.
