SEMA always brings big ideas to Las Vegas and Ford’s Maverick 300T is exactly the kind of build that gets people talking. Unveiled as a Ford Custom Garage project at the 2025 show, the compact pickup arrives with Mustang inspired hardware, a legit power bump, and the promise of a production parts kit heading to customers in 2026. The show runs November 4 to 7 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with Friday open to the public.

At the heart of the 300T is the Maverick’s 2.0 liter EcoBoost, now breathing through the larger turbo from the Mustang’s 2.3 liter EcoBoost. Ford pairs the swap with a Mishimoto intercooler and a ProCal 4 calibration, good for an estimated 300 horsepower and 317 lb ft of torque. That is a healthy jump of 50 hp and 40 lb ft over stock, the kind of bump you can feel from the first on ramp.

Ford says the upgrade will be 50 state emissions legal and backed by a three year Ford Performance Parts warranty when installed by a dealer or ASE certified tech. That detail matters for owners who want real gains without sacrificing compliance or peace of mind. ProCal supported kits from Ford Performance have a long track record of CARB certification, and this one follows that playbook.

The 300T is more than a straight line toy. Chassis tweaks come straight from the Maverick Lobo, including a beefier stabilizer bar, model specific bushings, a lowering kit, and upgraded dampers. Ride height drops 10 mm in front and 30 mm in back, which helps the stance and should tighten body motions without beating up your spine. Ford also highlights a set of 20 inch bronze wheels sourced from the Mustang Mach E GT, a nod to the brand’s parts bin that actually works on this truck’s proportions.

Styling lands in the sweet spot for a street truck. There is an Air Design front spoiler, functional fender vents, Ford Performance badging, and 300T decals on the hood and doors. The bronze theme even extends to the MAVERICK lettering on the tailgate, which ties in nicely with the wheels. A Borla sport exhaust with black chrome tips adds the right level of bark without crossing into drone territory, at least based on Ford’s intent for the kit.

Tire talk is interesting here. The SEMA truck sits on Michelin Pilot Sport 4S rubber for the show, but Ford recommends Pirelli P Zero Elect for owners. That suggests the team is paying attention to load ratings and electric era tire chemistry that can benefit a torquey turbo truck. Either way, expect noticeably sharper turn in and shorter stops than a stock Maverick on all seasons.

Compatibility is straightforward. The package targets AWD versions of the Maverick with the 2.0 liter EcoBoost in XL, XLT, and Lariat trims. That keeps the audience broad while ensuring the driveline can put the extra power down cleanly. Pricing is still under wraps, and Ford is positioning the kit as a 2026 Ford Performance Parts offering rather than a full factory trim.

Context matters, because Ford only recently leaned back into the street truck vibe with the Maverick Lobo. That model showed how far the compact platform could stretch with smarter cooling and chassis tuning. The 300T build takes the baton and adds a more serious power component that enthusiasts have been asking for since the Maverick’s debut.

Takeaway for Maverick fans is simple. If you love the idea of a small, affordable, quick truck that looks like it belongs at midnight meets and weekend autocross, the 300T kit feels like the right move. It keeps factory integration and warranty support, adds real speed, and embraces the street truck spirit without turning the Maverick into something it is not. Expect more details to follow as Ford transitions this SEMA project into a catalog reality for 2026.
