Ford New Maverick 300T Has Mustang Power: Performance Kit Available for Public Sale Next Year

Ford New Maverick 300T Has Mustang Power — and You Can Buy the Kit

Ford New Maverick 300T concept, unveiled at SEMA 2025, is a clear statement that the automaker is committing to accessible performance. For once, this highly tuned truck isn’t just a one-off showcase; Ford is planning to make a version of its performance kit—which infuses the compact pickup with Mustang power—available to the public next year. The heart of the concept is a heavily modified 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that leverages a Mustang EcoBoost turbocharger and specialized tuning to achieve an impressive 300 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque.

Maverick 300T Performance: More Than Just A Bigger Turbo

The Ford New Maverick 300T is a testament to clever engineering, focusing on reliability and drivability alongside enhanced power.

• Performance Boost: The stock 2.0-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engine (which typically produces 250 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque) is boosted to 300 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque. This is achieved using the turbocharger from a 2.3-liter Mustang EcoBoost, which has a 6-millimeter larger compressor wheel.
• Reliability Upgrades: To ensure the engine remains reliable, a Mishimoto intercooler (59% larger than stock) has been added, reducing temperatures by nearly 40% and pressure by 20%.
• Tuning and Sound: A Borla exhaust adds a more aggressive tone, while ProCal 4 tuning keeps the system running smoothly and is designed to be CARB-certified and 50-state legal.

Chassis and Styling: Ready to Rock

The 300T features extensive hardware upgrades and styling cues that prepare it for spirited street performance.

• Suspension: The ride height is lowered by 10 mm in front and 30 mm at the back using lowering springs. The truck also gains upgraded rear dampers and a stiffer stabilizer bar to enhance cornering.
• Wheels and Tires: Ford raided its own parts catalog for a set of 20-inch wheels from the Mustang Mach-E GT, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S rubber (customer kits will use Pirelli P Zero Elect tires).
• Aesthetics: The truck receives unique 300T vinyls (in black or bronze), Ford Performance badges, and the tailgate’s MAVERICK script is reworked in bronze.

Customer Kit and Availability

The best news for enthusiasts is the planned availability of a similar performance kit.

• Public Availability: Ford intends to make “a version” of this Maverick 300T performance kit available to the public next year.
• Target Audience: The kit is designed for all-wheel-drive versions of the Maverick XL, XLT, and Lariat trims with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine.
• Recommendation: The 4K tow package is recommended for its extra cooling capacity, though the kit can be fitted without it.
• Pricing: Details on pricing are expected in the new year, but the modifications are significant.

Final Thoughts

The Ford Maverick 300T is a thrilling example of how factory collaboration can deliver accessible performance. By focusing on a Maverick 300T kit that is 50-state legal and easy for customers to install, Ford is successfully translating the excitement of SEMA into a tangible product. This move is a welcome development for compact pickup enthusiasts seeking a sporty, turbocharged experience straight from the Blue Oval.
