Updated: September 5, 2023 // Auto News
Ford drops a bombshell with the 2024 Ford Maverick Convertible. Prepare to be amazed, as we unravel the wonders and (hopefully) the quirks of this highly anticipated newcomer truck.
Remember the Ford F-150 convertible that hit the roads in 2021? Well, Ford is back at it, trying to redefine the compact convertible pickup game. Until now, this segment was emptier than a politician’s promises, and especially at this Maverick’s affordability range – it’s practically a steal!
Ford CEO Tim Barley, with a grin wide enough to bridge the distance between two continents, unveiled the Maverick at an event in Antarctica (because why have a launch anywhere normal?). He gushed, “With over 520,000 Ford F-150 convertibles sold since its launch in 2021, we figured people must actually want these things!” Now, this Ford Maverick aims to deliver tow, haul, and fuel economy without making your wallet cry in despair.
Ford Maverick Convertible Configurations: New Colors Included
Configuration and new color options? It’s got them! From XLT to Lariat and even a Top Gun Maverick Edition – no, it won’t fly, but it will stick around for the 2024 model year.
XLT, Lariat, and Top Gun Maverick Editions: Choose Your Fighter
The 2024 Ford Maverick Convertible comes in three spicy flavors and new colors too:
- XLT: The crowd-pleaser, built for the everyday hero.
- Lariat: For those with a taste for the finer things, like wearing cowboy boots to a black-tie event.
- Top Gun Maverick Edition: Because who doesn’t want to feel like Tom Cruise on a dirt road?
The new colors include:
- SaltLife Blue (an aqua & teal combo)
- Caribbean Mango (a deep orange with flakes of yellows)
- Burnt Sandstorm (a mellow beige fade down to medium brown)
A Peek Inside: Water-Resistant Seating and Heated Features
Interior-wise, the Maverick convertible is decked out with all the comforts for those brave enough to drive with an open top in winter. It’s loaded with heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and even heated door panels. You’ll practically be driving a toaster on wheels.
In case you ever wanted to drive through a monsoon with the top down, the Maverick offers water-resistant seating (because logic). For those chilly winter mornings, heated features are at your service to keep your toes toasty. And for the tech-savvy, there’s an optional automatic top controlled by Sync 3 because using your hands is so last century.
Maverick Convertible Upgraded for Towing & Hauling
Mechanically, this new truck needed some muscle, so Ford has beefed up the structural elements like a bodybuilder in a protein shake frenzy. All these reinforcements allow the convertible to boast a beefy 5,000-pound tow rating and monstrous 1,900-pound payload rating – because everyone needs a convertible pickup that can tow a small house, right?

Maverick Convertible Production Twist
Now, here’s the plot twist nobody saw coming! Ford CEO Barley admitted the 2023 Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair didn’t have any digital cluster issues. Instead, the real problem was fitting the new Maverick onto the assembly lines. But hey, Barley shrugged it off like a champ on Twitch, saying, “We’re going to cancel those vehicles anyway. Who needs them when this convertible will be more profitable than a lemonade stand on a hot day?”
This Convertible Pickup Truck is Eco Friendly
For the eco-conscious, the 2024 Ford Maverick convertible will be the first convertible pickup to feature a standard hybrid powertrain. But beware, all-wheel drive will be standard – the only way to get it with current supply chain issues.
Pricing: A Steal or a Splurge?
Starting at $40,000, with a $13,000 option for the power-folding top (which must be powered by magic or something equally exotic), the Maverick ensures affordability.
Ready to commit? Ford is happily accepting $4,500 non-refundable deposits.
In a poetic conclusion, Ford spokesperson Spike Ravine waxed eloquent: “The all-new Ford Maverick convertible will storm the open-top pickup scene, outpacing regular Mavericks and eclipsing most other trucks. Rivals, eat your heart out!” Now we can all watch as this Maverick takes off, leaving others in the dust, or perhaps, in the slush of a North American winter. Either way, get ready for a wild ride!
