So you’ve got your heart set on a brand new pick-up truck, and of course, you’ve already made the best decision and settled on a Ford truck, but which of Ford’s latest lineup of trucks is right for you?
Our article highlights what each of Ford’s truck models offers buyers in the Nashua, NH, area, as we consider “Power Meets Purpose: Picking the Right Ford Truck” at Best Ford Nashua.
Does Ford make good trucks?
Well, yes indeed, the Ford family of trucks is industry-leading and highly regarded thanks to their design, durability, think “Built Ford Tough”, strong towing capabilities, and advanced technology.
Ford is no stranger to producing pick-up trucks. In fact, the very first factory Ford truck was produced way back in 1917 with the introduction of the Model TT, a one-ton chassis truck based on the brand’s popular Model T car.
Fast forward to today, and currently Ford proudly holds a dominant 42.9% share of the U.S. Class 1-7 truck and van market. Ford’s F-150 Series truck has remained the truck segment’s best-selling model in the U.S. for over 40 years now.
Ford can attribute their dominance in the truck market to the brand’s high resale value, and their extensive, multi-generational history that has built strong consumer trust, not to mention the widespread availability of Ford parts along with the familiarity of mechanics with Ford trucks that has contributed to their reputation for reliability and ease of maintenance.
What models are available in Ford’s current truck lineup?
Ford’s well-curated lineup of truck models ensures that there is just the right truck to match consumers’ power and performance requirements with their intended purpose.
The lineup runs the full gamut from compact to full-sized, with plenty of trim levels and cab/ load bed choices to meet even the most demanding of shoppers’ needs and desires, all available to view and test drive at Best Ford in Nashua.
The Ford truck range comprises, from smallest to biggest: Maverick, Ranger, F-150, and the Super Duty model, including variants with greener credentials and lower running costs, such as the mild hybrid Maverick and F-150, plus the all-electric F-150 Lightning.
Ford’s Truck Lineup explained
Below, we share just a glimpse of what each Ford truck model has to offer buyers. To get the full picture, we highly recommend visiting Best Ford Nashua in person or online to find out more about their “Built Ford Tough” range of trucks.
Maverick
The latest Ford Maverick compact truck remains the brand’s smallest truck model, and unlike the rest of its truck line-up, the Maverick features unibody construction rather than a cab-on-frame build.
This smallest Ford truck is exclusively available as a four-door SuperCrew cab with a 4.5-foot FLEXBED® cargo box, offering a maximum payload of 1,500 pounds. The Maverick’s smaller dimensions make it a great truck choice for urban dwellers who will appreciate its compact footprint and maneuverability in city environs, yet still need a load bed for hauling larger cargo items.
The Maverick is roughly 200 inches long, 72.6 inches wide, and up to 69 inches high.
The Maverick offers exceptional efficiency courtesy of its available 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain with a CVT, FWD, and available AWD.
The second engine option is a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Depending on trim, the Maverick can tow up to a maximum of 4,000 pounds.
The Mavericks’ exterior design is modern, featuring a large square front grille and an inverted L-shaped LED headlamp treatment.
The Maverick lineup saw a styling update in 2025 that added darkened headlamp covers, a redesigned front bumper, and grille, plus new wheel designs.
The interior of the Maverick seats five passengers and is sensibly appointed with a generous lineup of standard features.
All trims feature a standard 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with integrated Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot.
Some standard interior appointments include:
- Fabric upholstery with available heated front seats
- Tilt/telescoping steering wheel
- Air conditioning
The Ford Maverick lineup comprises five distinct trims: base XL, mid-level XLT, luxury-focused Lariat, the off-road specialized Tremor, and street-performance Lobo trim.
Ranger
The Ford Ranger is a versatile do-it-all mid-size pickup truck that fulfills many roles, from an urban daily driver to a weekend adventure vehicle. The Ranger is available in XL, XLT, Lariat, and Raptor trim levels.
Featuring a durable cab-on-frame construction, the Ranger is only available as a SuperCrew, offering four full-sized doors and seating for five passengers, with a 128.7-inch wheelbase.
The Ranger offers powerful engine choices paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
A 2.3-liter Ecoboost inline four makes 270 horsepower, while a 315-horsepower 2.7L EcoBoost V6 is optional. The Raptor is the star of the lineup, delivering 405 horsepower from its 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6.

The mid-sized Ranger, depending on trim, offers up to 7,500 lbs of towing capacity.
The rugged design of the Ranger’s exterior measures approximately 210.6–210.9 inches in length, 75.5–79.8 inches in width, and 73.9–75.9 inches in height.
