Steeda Is Adding 2026 Ford Maverick to Our R&D Fleet

[JohnCondren1933]

We hybrid owners outnumber the EB owners & if 2025 is any indication, all we need is gas prices to increase from taking down all the Venezuelan shadow tankers, and we'll have hordes of new buyers coming to the only truck where you can haul 1500 lbs & still get 40mpg

2025 Tacomas new transmission is increasingly having failures below 30,000 miles, 2025 will be the year Toyota reliability perception takes a shit, adding Tacoma to the 120,000 recall & growing Tundra engines failing from spun engine main bearings, & the replaced engines sometimes failing faster.

2026 Maveick hybrid doesn't have to be outstanding, just not a total dumpster fire like Toyota & GM truck drivetrains for good sales.

One of our team members tried to persuade us lol, but we didn't go the Hybrid route

Intercooler and handling kit with front and rear sway bars and matched shocks.

Jacking rails. I have the Steeda rails on my Mustang and had them on my Focus. Makes jacking up and placing on jackstands much easier.

This is a great idea.

Steeda is proud to announce we’re adding a brand-new 2026 Ford Maverick to the fleet to expand and enhance our R&D efforts on the Maverick platform.

The new Maverick’s specs:
- Oxford White
- XLT (Equipment Group 302A)
- 2.0L AWD

We want to hear from YOU, what upgrades should we prioritize first for the Ford Maverick? Handling? Suspension? Chassis bracing? Intake/exhaust?

Please let us know what you want to see from Steeda!

In all honesty, what are Hybrid owners most concerned about? MPG, What could Steeda do to increase MPG? Aerodynamic factors. So Eco's and Hybrid owners might be in the market for any aerodynamic products y'all come up with. Just my 2¢

Tuning for the 2025+ 2.0L - with a matching Trans tune for the 7 speed.

That is basically all I am looking for, that isn't already available.

Depending on the Ford 300T package cost (I doubt it'll be what I want it to be...) - I just want the intercooler, turbo, and tune.
I could do w/o a new turbo for simplicity sake, and probably be happy with a good 91 and Ethanol tune, with an Intercooler.

~300 HP/Torque numbers is my current goal/interest. (I know thats probably not likely w/o a turbo..so, lets see what a safe stock-turbo tune can do.) Apparently Ford is implying this underated Auto trans can take 300/317....so. Lets go!

Real front and rear spoilers would be nice too. Not the same as what's already out there. Something slightly more aggressive/functional.

This is a great idea.

Agreed. I have them on my Mustang, too.

Intake for sure. I've been waiting all year for someone to make an intake for the new Ecoboost but I haven't heard of anyone even having one in development

SB Filters is SUPPOSED to be developing one.

I had one of those, in 2000. Was a decent filter.

When you say functional, what function(s) would the ideal spoiler(s) provide for the Maverick?

A nuclear fission unit and plutonium fuel rods.

Yes! I had these on my FocusST as well, made tire rotations and seasonal summer/all-season swaps so much easier.

Once our vehicle is delivered ... it will be first on the list!
