Used 2022 Ford Maverick Consumer Reviews
Definite pros and cons
One year and 13k miles after delivery, XLT Hybrid Lux pkg. Pros are an interior with colors other than black, heated seat and steering wheel, ease of parking, pretty good average mileage of 35 mpg calculated by odometer and fill-up spreadsheet, decent stereo, good control layout. Cons have been a wiring harness failure, and this morning a diagnosed need for exhaust manifold and side curtain airbag replacement. In daily use, this little rig does everything I could ask of it, even dealing with snow in a decent way (with snow tires). But I'm not feeling super trusting of the build quality. There's nothing really competing with it that comes close on both size and fuel economy, so nothing I'd replace it with comes to mind.

Maverick ....love it
After waiting for 5 months to get my Larit Maverick all I can say it was well worth the wait. I wanted something that got milage, I drive 30,000 a year. So far, I am impressed, I drive between 50% freeway driving at 75mph and 50% city driving. Averaging 41.7 MPH. Almost 3 tines the milage of my 2010 Ram,,,,Handling is fantastic it corners great, small turning radius and plenty of gitty-up for all my needs.

XLT fwd 2.0 Ecoboost not hybrid
Bought mine after needing a quick vehicle change in early Jan 2022. And was lucky enough to to find one with a small markup. Had been eyeing them for a while. A lot of reviews don’t give the 2.0 FWD much credit, but I don’t need awd or lots of towing capability. Nor the extra cost. Last car had all the bells and whistles, I’ll miss heated and ventilated seats, but I can handle it. Everything else is there. It’s very quick and handles as well as most sedans. Seating position is not too low and not too high. Mpg is great as I’m averaging 29 in mix driving and figure 30+ will be easy on road trips. So don’t hate on the ecoboost mpg ratings. Using my phone for nav and music is fantastic and easily formats through the touchscreen. Now 12000 miles and still enjoy. Easily get 32-33 mpg on hwy. manual rear window is useless. 2022 was totalled but found another in 2023. This time XLT with luxury package. Makes life better. Enjoying it even more. 12000k on this. Update! 23,000 miles 23 XLT. Still enjoying and rocking along. Feb. 2025 update30k still doing great. Replaced rear window switch under warranty.

Great little truck that won't break the bank.
(Not sure why there's no option for this in the vehicle details, but I am reviewing the XLT trim with the 2.0L Ecoboost Motor, not the 2.5L Hybrid) I was in need of a new vehicle and wanted to get something with better gas mileage than my SUV but didn't want to give up the utility I had with the SUV. This little mini-truck came along at the perfect time. I love that the styling is pretty no-nonsense and is very practical in design. No stupid stylish slanted buttress blocking part of the truck bed, making it harder to load large items over the side, no stupid wannabe modern art grill design, just a very clean looking small unibody truck. It honestly handles great, it drives more like a light SUV than a truck. It's built off the Escape platform which could explain that. But it definitely feels nimble and light, but still has the utility of a truck bed. The build quality is quite nice, except for the flimsy sun shades. But that seems pretty standard in most cheaper cars now-a-days. And I was kind of hesitant coming from a V6 to the Ecoboost 4-cylinder, but I'm pleasantly surprised. This thing has quite a bit of oomph when you need it, which is nice. I love that you still have the option of using an actual key to turn on the ignition. I can go on for a while why that's actually better, but that's personal preference. Actually having knobs and buttons for the A/C and radio instead of putting them on the touchscreen is much better for safety, so I'm glad Ford kept that standard. The keypad to unlock the doors is another standard feature I'm glad Ford kept around. It's actually extremely useful. Overall, if you want the utility of a truck bed but you don't need to do anything super heavy duty like constantly towing large loads or anything, this is the best little mini-truck on the market in my opinion. And the fact that it's also the most affordable one is a huge bonus...

Nothing better on the market in this segment
The Maverick is an absolute joy of a compact truck. I've owned my Lariat hybrid for a month now, and enjoy every time I get into it. The ride is comfortable, the features are immense, and averaging 39-40 MPG doesn't get old. People like to be critical about the quality of the interior on the XL, but they forget this is the cheapest vehicle you can buy new at Ford while still getting tons of features.
