2023 Ford Maverick

Price Range: $18,898 - $33,998

Average

It's safe to say Ford knows trucks, and the 2023 Ford Maverick proves it. There's enough space in the bed to do the kinds of things you'd need a truck for, and the available hybrid engine provides great mpg. Ride and seat comfort are lacking, but overall we think highly of this small pickup.

Overview

Written by automotive expert Cameron Rogers

Updated: 1/5/2023

The 2023 Ford Maverick is a compact pickup truck entering its second year after a successful debut. The compact pickup market — dead just a few years ago — has seen a recent resurgence. The Maverick offers reasonable utility, impressive fuel economy and a wide range of available features at a much lower price than Ford's other trucks, the F-150 and Ranger. It's not the most capable truck when it comes to towing, payload or off-road capability, but Ford's larger trucks have you covered if you need more.

Fresh off the Maverick's introduction last year, the core lineup isn't changing much for 2023. That said, there is a new Tremor package available for XLT and Lariat models that beefs up the Maverick's off-road capability. A heavy-duty transmission cooler, upgraded shocks and running gear, an extra inch of ground clearance, all-terrain tires and much more are added when you spec the Tremor model.

Currently, there's only one other real option in this class: the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Like the Maverick, the Santa Cruz is a small four-door pickup, though the Hyundai feels much more like a crossover SUV than a truck from behind the wheel. It's a little more refined and comfortable, though it doesn't offer a hybrid powertrain. If you need more space or capability than what the Maverick offers, there's the Ranger, Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier. The GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado are also newly redesigned for 2023.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Average

7.4

out of 10

We drove the 2023 Ford Maverick on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Maverick drive? We tested both Maverick engines: the base engine 2.5-liter hybrid as well as the optional turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. Our test truck, equipped with the latter, zipped from zero to 60 mph in just 6.4 seconds. That's quicker than any midsize pickup truck and just a smidge quicker than the Hyundai Santa Cruz. The automatic transmission shifts quickly when you're accelerating, and it doesn't hunt around for gears on long uphill grades thanks to abundant power from under the hood. The Maverick with the base hybrid powertrain is a bit slower to 60 at 8.4 seconds, but it's a trade-off we'd make given the improved fuel efficiency.

Steering and handling aren't as satisfying, however. The Maverick feels more like a traditional truck in this sense. You don't get much feel for the road through the steering wheel, and there's a significant amount of body roll when going around turns. The Maverick is a bit stiffly sprung so midcorner bumps will upset its handling a bit too.

Off-roading isn't a strong suit for the Lariat trim level, which is what we tested, but there's a decent 8.3 inches of ground clearance and all-wheel drive to be had. Plus, you can get the optional FX4 package if you want to go even farther off the beaten path.

Comfort

6.5/10

How comfortable is the Maverick? When it comes to comfort, the Maverick embraces more of the truck vibe than its Hyundai Santa Cruz rival. Over broken or bumpy roads, it has a choppy ride quality that never seems to go away. The seats are firmly padded but supportive, and they hold up over long trips. But there are hard plastic door panels right next to your knees, and they're uncomfortable to brace against when navigating down curvy roads.

There isn't much noise from the engine on the highway, but it's a bit unrefined at idle and under full-throttle acceleration. We also noticed a strikingly loud drivetrain noise coming from beneath the rear floor that we couldn't identify. These traits are a bit of a harder pill to swallow on the top-trim Lariat.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? You'll love the Maverick if you like your truck interiors simple. There aren't a lot of frills or buttons, but finding the controls you need is very easy. Getting in and out requires some ducking of heads for most, but once you're inside there's a decent amount of headroom all around. The driving position is relatively upright, and the driver's seat and steering wheel don't offer much adjustability. Legroom is limited in the rear seat, as is the space under the front seats for feet.

The Maverick's boxy cab, however, provides excellent visibility. Big, squarish windows mean that you can see well in every direction, and while they're a bit on the small side, we like Ford's useful integrated blind-spot mirrors.

Technology

6.5/10

How’s the tech? Without the optional Luxury package, there isn't much tech to explore inside the Maverick. You do get an 8-inch touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and it's quick and easy to connect, but that's about where it ends. The standard stereo is pretty underwhelming when it comes to output volume.

Spring for the Luxury package and you'll receive adaptive cruise control, enhanced voice controls, an upgraded 8-inch screen, a wireless charging pad and lane keeping assist. A lot of these driver aids and options missing from our top-trim test vehicle come standard on the base Hyundai Santa Cruz.

Towing and Storage

8/10

How are the towing and storage? The Maverick's party piece is the massive number of cubbies and interior storage areas. The doors can accommodate huge water bottles, the rear underseat storage is relatively large, and there are all sorts of useful dividers in the large center console. The Maverick has mastered small-item storage.

Loading in a large car seat will be a bit difficult because the top tethers are located behind the folding rear seats. Plus, the underseat storage is accessed by lifting up the entire rear seat bottom, so you'll have to remove any child seats to get underneath. What a pain.

The Maverick's maximum towing and payload capacities are impressive for such a small vehicle: 4,000 and 1,500 pounds, respectively. The Maverick also offers a four-pin and seven-pin connector and an integrated trailer brake controller, the latter of which is missing in the rival Hyundai Santa Cruz. So while the Santa Cruz ultimately has a higher overall towing capacity, the Maverick is better equipped to tow straight from the factory.

Fuel Economy

9/10

How’s the fuel economy? With the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine and all-wheel drive, the Maverick gets an EPA rating of 25 mpg combined. That's a respectable number that we were able to easily achieve in the real world. On our evaluation route, our test Maverick returned 27 mpg in mixed highway and city driving. On the same route, a Santa Cruz actually topped that by 2 mpg, but if fuel efficiency is a top concern, the real trump card here is the Maverick's hybrid powertrain. The hybrid Maverick gets a segment-topping EPA estimate of 37 mpg combined. That beats most non-hybrid compact sedans. In the real world, we regularly saw over 40 mpg combined during testing, which is promising.

Value

8/10

Is the Maverick a good value? At its entry price, there's no denying the Maverick's appeal. Even a decently equipped Maverick will undercut the price of a midsize truck. The cabin's materials are nothing special, however, and you have to opt for the top trim level to get all of the truck's advanced driver aids, such as adaptive cruise control, as standard. A three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty are pretty typical among trucks, and that's what the Maverick gets. But the Santa Cruz blows it out of the water with a five-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The Maverick is relatively nondescript. It accomplishes its mission of looking like a truck, and therefore it goes mostly unnoticed. The optional engine is peppy and it can be relatively fun to drive, but there is a more entertaining vehicle in the class.

We give it some credit for its efficient hybrid engine, along with its no-frills interior and low starting price. Pair that with a functional and easy-to-use bed, and you've got a unique offering, but not one with a ton of personality.

2023 Ford Maverick trim level differences

The 2023 Ford Maverick is a compact crew-cab pickup that's available in three main trim levels: XL, XLT and Lariat. Each trim comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a hybrid system to produce a combined 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque. This combo sends its power to the front wheels through a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Compare the 2023 Ford Maverick trim levels in-depth.

Which Maverick trim does Edmunds recommend?

The midlevel XLT looks to be the one to get. It doesn't have many additional standard features over the base XL, but it does give you more choice should you want additional options, including the new Tremor Off-Road package. The best value for the Maverick also comes from sticking with the base, and highly fuel-efficient, hybrid powertrain.

Ford Maverick vs. Hyundai Santa Cruz

There are only two compact pickups on the market currently: the Maverick and the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Ford and Hyundai approach the concept of small trucks differently. The Maverick builds off Ford's expertise in the area, offering traditional pickup strengths in a smaller package. The Santa Cruz is more of a lifestyle vehicle, with comfort and concept-car styling taking priority over ultimate cargo capacity and truck capability.

Ford Maverick vs. Honda Ridgeline

Looking for an easy-to-drive truck with more passenger space? The Honda Ridgeline is a midsize truck that, like the Maverick, uses car-like unibody construction rather than a traditional body-on-frame backbone. That means the Ridgeline glides over potholes and cracked pavement with a level of refinement others in its class can't match. The Ridgeline is larger and more expensive than the Maverick, but if you have some wiggle room in your budget, we recommend the Honda.

Ford Maverick vs. Ford Ranger

The Ford Ranger is a classic example of why bigger isn't always better. The Ranger is a midsize pickup with more rear seat room and cargo storage in the bed, which is about half a foot longer than the Maverick's. Unfortunately, the Ranger's bouncy ride is quite off-putting, and the lack of interior storage is odd for what is supposed to be a practical truck. You won't be able to tow or haul quite as much with the Maverick, but otherwise it's the more enjoyable truck to drive.
