What is new for the 2023 Ford Maverick?
The Ford Maverick will be receiving one of the more well-known Ford trims, the Tremor. The only downside is that the Tremor is only available on the non-hybrid engine with all-wheel drive equipped. So unfortunately, if you wanted a rugged hybrid Maverick, you might have to wait a little longer. The Tremor will add a 1-inch lift over the regular suspension, giving you more clearance for rock climbing. The Maverick Tremor also has a twin clutch rear differential that enables the vehicle to be opened or locked. There is also an available appearance package that further changes the looks of the Tremor to be more rugged. The trim will also receive Ford’s terrain selection feature and the Maverick will be able to adapt to the conditions in which it finds itself.
How many miles per gallon does the Ford Maverick Get?
The hybrid Ford Maverick gets 33 mpg on the highway and 42 mpg in town, making this quite possibly one of the most fuel efficient Ford vehicles yet. The non-hybrid powertrain is rated for 30 mpg on the highway and 23 mpg in town. Adding all-wheel drive reduces those numbers by 1 mpg each. The Ford Maverick is the best daily driver you can get, simply because it gets near Prius level fuel economy in town and has the added benefit of a truck bed. Making it much more versatile than your standard crossover or sedan.
Which is better, the 2023 or 2022 Ford Maverick?
The 2023 Ford Maverick is most likely the better model year simply because you will be very hard pressed to find any 2022 Ford Mavericks in stock. For example if you check the Ford website it simply does not list any 2022 Mavericks as available. For this reason the 2023 Maverick will be your better bet. On top of that, the 2023 model year also has the available Tremor trim, which will be a great addition to any garage and be more athletic than other Maverick trims.
Summary
The Ford Maverick is the first and best compact truck to have hit the market. The Maverick is just as popular as some of Ford’s most recent hits, like the Mustang Mach-e, the Maverick does not stay on the lot long as it is always quickly sold. Orders were through the roof in 2022, making it difficult to find one in person or to test drive it. The Ford Maverick is an incredibly capable vehicle and offers you just as much interior space as a crossover, compact SUV, or sedan, with the added benefit of a small truck bed. This makes the Maverick one of the best vehicles on the road, and the most functional daily driver on the market.
