Four Ford pickups, a red Maverick, a blue Ranger, a white F-150 and a navy Super Duty, parked with gaps between them in a gravel yard below a grey limestone quarry face, autumn maples on the ridge, under the headline "WHICH FORD PICKUP FITS YOUR WORK?"

The Ford trucks Canada gets come down to four pickups: the 2026 Maverick and 2026 Ranger, the two smaller ones, and the 2026 F-150 and 2027 Super Duty, the two larger ones. Ford's lineup page labels the Maverick and F-150 as hybrid available.

Choose by the work: what you haul and tow, who rides along, how long the load is and which roads you drive. Then check the drive: Ford lists 4x4 as standard on all four Ranger models, while on the Maverick, F-150 and Super Duty the drive depends on the model.

Key Takeaways

Four pickups, each with its own model year: the 2026 Maverick, 2026 Ranger, 2026 F-150 and 2027 Super Duty.
Drive is listed per truck, not across the lineup. Ford lists 4x4 as standard on all four Ranger models, while on the Maverick, F-150 and Super Duty the drive depends on the model.
Hybrid on the Maverick and F-150. The hybrid is standard on the Maverick XL, XLT and Lariat and an option on several F-150 models; Ford's pages for the Ranger and Super Duty do not list one.
Gas or diesel at the heavy-duty end. The 2027 Super Duty lists a gas V8 or a Power Stroke diesel, depending on the series.
Choose by the work, then the exact truck: load and trailer first, then cab, box and roads, and confirm the configuration on the exact truck with our team.

The Ford Trucks Canada Lineup, Side by Side

These are the Ford trucks Canada gets, side by side, with the cabs, powertrains and drive Ford lists for each. Each truck carries the model year Ford prints for it, so a 2027 Super Duty sits beside three 2026 pickups in the same lineup.

Pickup and Model Year	Cabs Ford Lists	Gas or Diesel Listed	Hybrid Listed	Drive Ford Lists
2026 Maverick	Not listed	EcoBoost gas: available on XL, XLT and Lariat, standard on Lobo and Tremor	Standard on XL, XLT and Lariat	Front-wheel drive with the hybrid on XL and XLT, all-wheel drive available; all-wheel drive standard on Lariat; Advanced 4WD on Lobo and Tremor
2026 Ranger	SuperCrew on all four models	EcoBoost gas, by model	Not listed	4x4, standard on all four models
2026 F-150	Regular Cab, SuperCab or SuperCrew, by model	Gas V6 or V8, by model	PowerBoost, available on STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum	4x2 standard and 4x4 available on XL, STX and XLT; a four-wheel-drive system standard on Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Raptor
2027 Super Duty	Regular Cab, SuperCab or Crew Cab, by model	Gas V8 or Power Stroke diesel, by series	Not listed	Two-wheel or four-wheel drive, by series and model

Not listed means Ford's pages do not list it for that truck.

Confirm the powertrain and drivetrain on the individual vehicle.

Ford's truck page also lists its Transit vans, which sit outside this pickup lineup.

Maverick: A Smaller Pickup With the Hybrid Standard on Three Models

The 2026 Maverick is one of the two smaller pickups here, and the hybrid is its standard powertrain on the XL, XLT and Lariat. A 2.0L EcoBoost gas engine is an option on those three and the engine on the Maverick Lobo and Tremor.

The 2026 Maverick comes standard as a front-wheel-drive hybrid on the XL and XLT, with all-wheel drive available; all-wheel drive is standard on the Lariat, and Ford lists Advanced 4WD on the Lobo and Tremor. Confirm the drivetrain on the individual vehicle.

Ford lists the Maverick with a single cargo box and five-passenger seating.

If you need a choice of cab or box length, that is where the F-150 comes in, with three cabs and three box lengths listed.

If you commute into Kanata on weekdays and carry weekend loads for the house and garden, the Maverick is the place to start, and the drive is the first line to check.

If you are weighing it against a bigger truck, our Maverick versus F-150 guide asks whether a smaller pickup is enough truck.

Ranger: SuperCrew and 4x4 on All Four Models

The 2026 Ranger is the other smaller pickup, and on drive there is nothing to choose: Ford lists it as a SuperCrew with 4x4 as standard on all four models, the XL, XLT, Lariat and Raptor. It comes with a choice of three EcoBoost engines, depending on the model.

Ford's pages for the Ranger do not list a hybrid. Confirm the configuration on the individual vehicle.

The honest limit: Ford lists one cab and one box size, so if you want a choice of either, look at the F-150 or the Super Duty.

A crew and their tools heading out to a job site near Almonte, down a gravel road? With the Ranger, 4x4 is already settled, so the trim choice is about the rest of the truck.

If it will pull a trailer, our Ranger towing guide covers what it can really pull.

F-150: Three Cabs, Three Box Lengths and Drive by Model

The 2026 F-150 is one of the two larger pickups in this lineup. It comes in Regular Cab, SuperCab and SuperCrew configurations, depending on the model, with three box lengths across the lineup and a choice of gas V6 and V8 engines by model.

On the XL, STX and XLT, Ford lists two-wheel drive (4x2) as standard with 4x4 available; the Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Raptor list a four-wheel-drive system as standard. Confirm the drivetrain on the individual vehicle.

The PowerBoost full hybrid is an option on the STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum.

One catch: two F-150s with the same model name can differ in cab, box, engine and drive, so read the exact truck's window sticker.

For an equipment trailer on the concession roads out past Beckwith, settle the cab, box and drive on the F-150 first, then the model.

Which model fits your work is its own question, and our F-150 trims guide walks through it.

Super Duty: Ford's Heavy-Duty Pickup, Gas or Diesel

The 2027 Super Duty is Ford's heavy-duty pickup, offered as the F-250, F-350 and F-450, with a gas V8 or a Power Stroke diesel depending on the series. It comes in Regular Cab, SuperCab or Crew Cab depending on the model, and in two-wheel or four-wheel drive depending on the series and model.

The Super Duty comes with two box lengths. Ford's pages for it do not list a hybrid.

Confirm the configuration on the individual vehicle.

The honest point: which series you need is a question about the work and the exact configuration, not the badge.

How to Choose a Ford Truck for Your Work

Choose by five questions: what you haul and tow, who rides along, how long the load is, which roads you drive and which powertrain you want, then confirm the exact truck with our team. The nameplate narrows the field; the exact truck's window sticker and labels tell you what that one has.

What you haul and tow. Start with your heaviest regular trailer and load, using the payload and tow check below.
Who rides along. Ford lists five-passenger seating on the Maverick, a SuperCrew on every Ranger, and a choice of cabs on the F-150 and Super Duty, depending on the model.
How long the load is. Ford lists a single cargo box on the Maverick, one box size on the Ranger, three box lengths on the F-150 and two on the Super Duty.
Which roads you drive. For a gravel lane, a plowed concession road or a year-round Highway 7 commute, check the drive on the exact truck's window sticker, because it changes by truck and by model.
Gas, hybrid or diesel. The hybrid is standard on the Maverick XL, XLT and Lariat and an option on several F-150 models, and the Super Duty lists gas or diesel by series.
Confirm it with us. Tell the Carleton Place Ford team what you haul, who rides along and which roads you drive, and we will help you match them to the exact truck.

Before choosing a pickup, compare your heaviest regular loaded trailer, cargo and payload, including passengers, equipment and hitch weight, against the exact truck's door-jamb payload label and applicable Ford tow guide. Ratings vary by configuration.

If the truck works for your business, Carleton Place Ford offers drop-off and pickup for commercial customers when it comes in for service.

Ask our team to check the VIN and confirm any open campaigns before you buy.

Your Trade, Your Financing and Ordering the Right Build

If you are moving into a new Ford truck from the vehicle you already own, start with that vehicle: value your trade online, then bring it in to Carleton Place Ford. We take trades of any make, whether it is paid off or not.

We put our appraisal of your trade in writing. We buy vehicles outright, so an appraisal does not commit you to buying from us.

With your permission, we get the payout from your lender and show it beside our appraisal.

If you owe more than the vehicle is worth, the shortfall may be added to the amount financed, increasing the amount borrowed and potentially the total cost of borrowing. Financing is subject to lender approval (O.A.C.).

Apply for financing before you come in if you wish. With your consent, we can review options with participating lenders.

Approval, rate, term and payment depend on the applicant, lender and vehicle, and a credit-bureau inquiry may be required.

Bring a driver's licence and proof of income if requested; lender requirements vary.

If Ford's order bank, dealer allocation and your preferred configuration are available, we can review the build and help you submit an order. Availability, order acceptance, timing and pricing are subject to Ford and dealer confirmation.

Or look through our new Ford inventory with the cab, box and drive you have settled on in mind.

Once it is yours, book it in for service with Carleton Place Ford. You can come to us for parts and accessories, and for open Ford recall campaigns applicable to your vehicle, subject to parts availability and appointment scheduling.
