One of the hottest selling Fords on the market these days is the Maverick pickup, which has quickly garnered a big enthusiast following. The sporty compact pickup is offered in XL, XLT and Lariat models, with Tremor or FX4 Off-Road Packages available on the latter two. But fans have been clamoring for even more lineup variants, especially a street performance offering such as ST or the ST Line. Ford seems to have been listening, as the internet rumor mill and spy photographers have surmised that Ford Maverick ST prototypes are under consideration. While we can’t comment on that, we can tell you that 2022 Maverick XLT owner Nick Disanti loves the idea of a Maverick ST so much that he customized his XLT with his own ST treatment. In addition to ST badging in the grille and on the fender vents, tailgate, wheel centers and even the steering wheel, Nick added a cold-air intake, dual exhaust tip and pedal covers. Nick may be on to something, because when he took his ST-upgraded Maverick to a big West Coast car show last fall, it took home “Best In Class” honors. He’s interested in what you think – so look at his photos below and send your comments to ClubHub@Ford.com:
“Hi, Ford Performance! My name is Nick DIsanti and I own a 2022 Maverick XLT that I customized into a Maverick ST. Just wanted to share it with you guys and would like your feedback -- what do you think? Do you guys want to see Ford offer a Maverick ST model? I went to San Diego last fall for the big ‘Mustangs By the Bay’ car show, and I entered my Maverick in the “AO” class -- which is “All Other” vehicles. I got Best In Class! So here are some pics of my own version of a Maverick ST. Thanks Ford Performance -- and keep up the good work!”
