Best Ford Maverick Model for Fuel Efficiency in Hawaii
The Ford Maverick Hybrid is clearly the fuel-efficiency champion, offering 37 MPG combined—a rarity among trucks. It’s perfect for Hawaiian drivers who primarily stick to urban environments and want to maximize savings at the pump.
If you need more power for towing or off-road activities, the EcoBoost models are a solid choice, with 26 MPG combined for 2WD and 25 MPG combined for AWD. While less fuel-efficient than the hybrid, they still outperform many other trucks in their class.
