Is the 2023 Ford Maverick reliable?

Owners rate it 4.39/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a truck people feel good about living with over time, especially because it is described as efficient, comfortable, and practical. That kind of praise usually lines up with a vehicle you can count on for everyday use, and the hybrid setup adds to its reputation for dependable commuting and hauling. The expert evaluation also reinforces that sense of durability by emphasizing the Maverick’s bargain value and efficient powertrain. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the core formula and more about finding one that has been cared for well, since condition and prior use will matter a lot.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Ford Maverick?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free status does not replace a full ownership and repair record. Prioritize a close inspection of the cabin, infotainment behavior, and any signs of hard use, since the truck’s interior materials and tech are known weak spots. If you are considering a Tremor or other higher-content version, make sure the added equipment is present and functioning as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base XL is the simplest version, with steel wheels and a more basic cabin, while XLT and Lariat add more visual polish and equipment. The Tremor package adds off-road styling and hardware, and the FX4 package is another step up for shoppers who want more rugged capability.
• Powertrain: The standard setup is a 2.5-liter hybrid with 191 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque, while the available 2.0-liter EcoBoost brings 250 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic. Hybrid models use a CVT and front-wheel drive, while the EcoBoost can be paired with all-wheel drive.
• Safety package: Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 suite is standard, and it includes automatic high beams, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, and a rear view camera. Additional features such as adaptive cruise control, lane centering, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist are available, so check carefully for trim-level gaps.
• Infotainment: The standard touchscreen is 8 inches, and wireless smartphone integration is not listed; Bluetooth, wired Apple CarPlay, and wired Android Auto are standard. The Lariat adds a 6.5-inch driver display, and its Luxury Package brings a wireless charging pad and Ford’s Sync 3 system.
• Fuel efficiency: The hybrid is rated at 40 city, 33 highway, and 37 combined, while the gas engine returns 25 city, 30 highway, and 25 combined.

Which 2023 Ford Maverick trim should I buy?

The 2023 Ford Maverick is offered in 3 trim levels: XL, XLT, and Lariat.

Here's the short version:

• XL: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Maverick’s core value proposition at the lowest price. It is the trim to consider if you want the cheapest path into the hybrid-powered Maverick and do not need extra comfort or appearance upgrades.
• XLT: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds more appealing wheels and a better overall presentation without pushing you all the way to the top. It also serves as the starting point for the Tremor and FX4 packages, so it gives you more flexibility if you want to build in capability later.
• Lariat: This is the most upscale Maverick, with larger wheels, a bigger driver display, push-button start, ambient lighting, and more available luxury equipment. It makes the most sense if you want the most comfort and convenience features the model offers.

Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 suite is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim just to get the core safety tech.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Ford Maverick?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you should shop with a clear target and move quickly on strong listings.

• Deal availability: 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,523 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.05% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 88.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $26,174, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Ford Maverick's resale value?

The current average of $26,709 sits slightly below last year's $28,129.

That price movement suggests the Maverick has cooled a bit from where it was a year ago, which can help you as a buyer today. For a future seller, it means the market is still valuing the truck well, but not at the peak it reached last year. If you buy at the right price and keep the truck in good condition, you should have a reasonable path to retaining value. The Maverick’s strong owner satisfaction also helps support demand when it is time to resell.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.39/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Ford Maverick safe?

The 2023 Ford Maverick earns four-star ratings in frontal crash and rollover, and five-star ratings in all other NHTSA tests.

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

Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 suite is standard, so every trim gets automatic high beams, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, and a rear view camera. Available upgrades include adaptive cruise control, lane centering, evasive steering assist, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and hill-descent control. The expert testing also noted strong front crash-prevention results from IIHS, but nighttime pedestrian protection was only rated Basic, which is worth keeping in mind if that matters in your driving environment.

Should I buy a 2023 Ford Maverick or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.2% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.05% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.39/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The Tremor package joins the lineup, adding extra off-road character and capability.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $23,707, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $26,709 average.
• It stands out as Ford’s more approachable pickup with a simple, value-focused formula.

The bottom line: If you want the more current Maverick with the Tremor package and a still-strong market of listings, the 2023 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2022 is the smarter value play, especially if you can live without the newer-year extras.
