Ford appears poised to resurrect the street truck concept, using the Maverick compact pickup as its foundation.
Recent covert photographs reveal a disguised Maverick test model featuring an updated, lower front fascia unlike any variant in the current lineup of Ford’s compact pickup range. Although speculative, it’s possible that a sizable intercooler is concealed within this new design.

Notable on this prototype are the 19-inch wheels— an increase from the maximum 18-inch wheels available on the Maverick. These larger wheels are encased in Goodyear Wrangler Territory Highway Terrain tires, optimized for enhanced grip on tarmac, while still accommodating light off-roading.
At the rear, one can discern the independent suspension system akin to that on the all-wheel-drive Maverick models. Additionally, a solitary exhaust outlet is present, though this is presumably a provisional setup for the testing phase.

Currently, the Maverick offers two powertrains: a hybrid system with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine delivering 191 horsepower, and a more robust 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 250 horsepower. It is anticipated that a Maverick fashioned for street truck performance would boast even greater horsepower, potentially via a novel engine.
While Ford has not officially confirmed any plans for a high-performance Maverick variant, the popularity of the Raptor editions of the Ranger and F-150 suggests a market appetite for high-powered pickups. “Lobo,” a term that translates to “wolf” in both Spanish and Portuguese and a name Ford has registered trademarks for with respect to both the Maverick and the F-150, may serve as the chosen badge for this new Maverick street truck.
Despite Ford’s silence on the subject of a Maverick street truck, the company has flirted with the concept before. At the 2021 SEMA show, Ford unveiled a Maverick street truck concept crafted by Tucci Hot Rods of New York.

did anyone else see those wheels? 19 inches is huge for a compact like the Maverick!
independant rear suspension on a truck? that’s not something you see everyday, curious how that handles on the road
Oh wow, a street version of the Maverick? thats gonna be epic, wonder if itll have the same punch as the raptor
Hybrid with more power? intriguing, hope the fuel efficiency isn’t compromised though
finally Ford’s getting back to street trucks, missed these since the lightning, good times
Lobo is a cool name, but I’m more interested in what’s under the hood… they better not skimp on power.
