3 across in a Ford Maverick

The Maverick is a compact crew cab — about 52" across, which is more than its footprint suggests, but with shorter rear legroom than a full-size truck. Good three-across candidate on width, tighter than you would like on depth.

How we worked this out

• The bench. A 2022–2024 Ford Maverick's usable second-row width is about 52" (Ford dimensions + owner measurements (approx); compact crew cab, shorter rear legroom) — approximate, from manufacturer dimensions and owner measurements.
• The seats. We take each seat's external width at its widest point (manufacturer spec) and multiply by three, allowing a small buckle gap, against the bench.
• The ranking. Seats that clear three-across come first, then NHTSA Ease-of-Use (5★ scale), then fewer recalls, then narrower — never by commission.
• The honesty rule. Where a seat's width isn't published, we flag the fit as not confirmed rather than guess. Three-across is decided by half-inches, so test-fit your exact seats in your exact car.
