Ford Maverick Payload Capacity (2022–2026)
The Ford Maverick payload ranges from 1,140 lbs to 1,500 lbs depending on cab, engine, drivetrain, and trim. A typical 4WD Crew Cab is around 1,500 lbs. The door-jamb sticker on your specific truck is the authoritative number.

What Can the Maverick Realistically Haul?
With a 1,500 lb payload and a 33.3 cu ft (1.23cu yd) bed, here's what that means for common materials:
- Gravel / crushed stone: 0.62 cubic yards per trip (roughly 1,500 lbs). A level-full bed of gravel would exceed this truck's payload — don't fill the bed completely with stone.
- Topsoil: 0.68 cubic yards per trip. For a 4-inch deep garden bed covering 200 sq ft (about 2.5 cu yds of soil needed), the Maverick can handle it in 4 trips.
- Wood chip mulch: Mulch is light enough that the bed fills up (1.23 yards) before you reach the payload limit. A full bed covers roughly 133 sq ft of landscaping beds at 3-inch depth.
- 80-lb concrete bags: 18 bags per trip (1,440 lbs), yielding approximately 10.8 cubic feet of mixed concrete.
All figures are based on the 1,500lb payload rating for a typical 4WD Crew Cab. Your specific truck's door-jamb sticker is the authoritative number. In practice, subtract the weight of passengers, tools, a full fuel tank, and any bed accessories — these eat into your available payload before you load a single pound of material.
Calculate Your Load
“Fill Truck” sets quantity to whichever comes first: payload weight limit or bed volume.
⚠ Overloaded — 1,000 lbs over capacity
This load exceeds the published payload rating and may damage the truck's suspension, frame, tires, and brakes. Reduce quantity or use a higher-rated truck.
