Used 2022 Ford Maverick for Sale nearColumbia, SC

How much does the 2022 Ford Maverick cost?

Prices have softened 8.55% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,335 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2022 Ford Maverick a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Ford Maverick earns a 4.65/5 user rating and an 8.17/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Cost effectiveness.

Owners consistently praise its compact size, fuel efficiency, and value for money, and they also like how practical it is for everyday tasks, especially in urban settings. The Maverick’s great ride quality and standard hybrid powertrain reinforce that appeal, while the truck’s simple formula makes it easy to understand and shop. The main trade-offs are the older infotainment system and the limited options on lower trim models. If you want a smaller pickup that feels useful without being bulky, this year’s Maverick fits that brief well. Good and great deals account for 30.1% of listings, so there’s still room to find a competitive offer.

Is the 2022 Ford Maverick reliable?

Owners rate it 4.65/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owners describe the Maverick as dependable, practical, and a vehicle they can count on for daily use. The expert evaluation also points to a refined, smooth-driving character that supports confidence over time, especially in the hybrid setup. Ford’s three-year, 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty add some ownership reassurance. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that lower-trim examples may feel sparse, so condition and equipment matter a lot.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Ford Maverick?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a close inspection of the cabin and infotainment system, since the Maverick’s older tech and limited lower-trim equipment are recurring concerns. Focus on overall condition, feature content, and whether the truck matches your daily-use needs before you commit.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base XL gets 17-inch steel wheels, while higher trims move to 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels. XLT and Lariat can add luxury packages with a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel and heated seats, and the base trim is the one most likely to leave you wanting more standard equipment.
• Powertrain: You get a standard hybrid powertrain with a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder, a single electric motor, and a CVT, plus an optional 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo-four with an eight-speed automatic. The hybrid is the smoother, more refined choice, while the EcoBoost brings more power and available AWD.
• Safety package: Ford Co-Pilot360 includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and automatic high beams. Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane centering, and evasive steering assist are optional extras.
• Infotainment: The Maverick uses Sync 3 with an 8-inch touchscreen, standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a built-in WiFi hotspot that can support up to 10 devices. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto are not included.
• Fuel efficiency: Ford advertises 40 mpg city for the hybrid, and the 2.0-liter EcoBoost is rated at 26 mpg combined with FWD or 25 mpg combined with AWD.

Which 2022 Ford Maverick trim should I buy?

The 2022 Ford Maverick is offered in 3 trim levels: XL, XLT, and Lariat.

Here's the short version:

• XL: This is the value play if you want the Maverick’s core strengths at the lowest entry point. It still gets the standard hybrid powertrain, and even the base trim is described as well equipped, but it’s also the trim most likely to feel light on extras.
• XLT: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it opens the door to more equipment and available luxury packages without jumping all the way to the top end. If you want a better balance of price and comfort, this is the one to focus on.
• Lariat: Choose this if you want the most upscale Maverick experience and plan to add more comfort-oriented equipment. It’s the trim that pairs best with the available premium touches and the First Edition package for 2022.

Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard, while additional driver-assistance features remain optional.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Ford Maverick?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it pays to compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,335 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.55% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $23,502, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Ford Maverick's resale value?

The current average of $23,551 sits slightly below last year's $25,753.

That price movement suggests the Maverick has softened enough to create a better entry point for used buyers, but it also means future sellers may need to price competitively. The model’s strong value reputation and broad appeal should help support demand, especially for well-kept examples with desirable equipment. If you buy smart now, you may have a better chance of preserving value later by choosing a trim and configuration that shoppers continue to want.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.65/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Ford Maverick safe?

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Should I buy a 2022 Ford Maverick or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.9% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.55% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.65/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 focuses on simplicity, refinement, and efficiency with a standard hybrid powertrain.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $26,388, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $23,551 average.
• It adds the Tremor package for more off-road-oriented appeal.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2022 is the stronger buy because it combines lower pricing with solid owner satisfaction and a healthy share of good deals. If you’re willing to spend more for added personality and a newer-year twist, the 2023 is worth a look.
