To get the bargain basement price, buyers will have to go for the Maverick XL, which is very much in the spirit of a work truck.
The front-wheel-drive hybrid comes with black plastic bumpers, 17-inch steel wheels and a cloth interior with a power driver's seat.

Power windows, air conditioning, automatic emergency braking and an Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-compatible infotainment system are standard, but the only available option package adds just blind spot and lane departure warning systems for $540. You'll also have to spend $100 for an acessory tow hitch receiver to take advantage of the 191 horsepower pickup's 2,000-pound trailer rating.
It's a blank canvas that should appeal to customizers and commercial customers, and its 37 mpg combined fuel economy rating enhances the frugality.
