The owner feedback points to a truck that feels dependable in everyday use, with praise for its value, comfort, and hybrid efficiency. That kind of satisfaction usually matters most when you want a used vehicle you can count on for commuting, errands, and light-duty truck work.

If you are shopping used, the main long-term risk is less about the concept and more about finding one that has been treated well and priced fairly.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a truck like this, where you want to confirm that the cabin, electronics, and drivetrain all match the seller’s description. Focus on overall condition, because the Maverick’s value proposition depends heavily on whether it still feels fresh and well kept.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base XL comes with 17-inch steel wheels, while the XLT upgrades to 17-inch Carbonized Gray aluminum wheels and the Lariat gets 18-inch Bright aluminum wheels. The cabin is heavy on hard plastics, and the lower trims are more basic in appearance and feel.
• Powertrain: The standard setup is a 2.5-liter hybrid with 191 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque, paired with a CVT and front-wheel drive. You can also find the 2.0-liter EcoBoost with an eight-speed automatic and available all-wheel drive.
• Safety package: Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 suite is standard, with automatic high beams, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, and a rear view camera. Available extras include adaptive cruise control, lane centering, evasive steering assist, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and hill-descent control.
• Infotainment: The standard touchscreen is 8 inches, and wireless CarPlay or Android Auto is not listed. Bluetooth, wired Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, and a six-speaker sound system are standard, while Lariat adds a 6.5-inch driver display.
• Fuel efficiency: The hybrid returns 40 city, 33 highway, and 37 combined mpg, while the gas engine gets 25 city, 30 highway, and 25 combined mpg.

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 and hybrid efficiency at the lowest price. It makes the most sense if you want the cheapest way into the model and do not need extra comfort or appearance upgrades.
• XLT: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a more polished look with 17-inch Carbonized Gray aluminum wheels and opens the door to more equipment. It is also the trim where you can add the Tremor or FX4 packages, so it suits buyers who want more personality or capability.
• Lariat: This is the most upscale choice, with 18-inch Bright aluminum wheels, a 6.5-inch driver display, push-button start, ambient lighting, and available Luxury Package upgrades. It is the right pick if you want the most comfort and tech the Maverick offers.

Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 safety suite is standard across the lineup.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without rushing.

• Deal availability: 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,465 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.86% compared with last year.

What is the 2023 Ford Maverick's resale value?

The current average of $26,388 sits slightly below last year's $28,032.

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 be realistic about pricing. If you buy well now, you reduce the risk of overpaying into a market that has already cooled from last year’s level.

The Maverick’s strong owner satisfaction and broad appeal as an efficient compact truck should help support demand over time. 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 earned a four-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), losing points for rollover resistance and for the passenger’s side in the frontal crash test. The NHTSA also noted that their gas-powered tester emitted smoke and flames following the crash. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the 2023 Maverick a Superior rating for vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention and Advanced for vehicle-to-pedestrian in daytime, but it earned only a Basic rating for vehicle-to-pedestrian at night.

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 night pedestrian result is the main caution to keep in mind, especially if you do a lot of driving after dark.

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:

• 30.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.86% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.39/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The Tremor package joins the lineup, adding off-road capability and more personality.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $23,551, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $26,388 average.
• It is Ford’s more approachable pickup, with a simple three-trim lineup and strong value.

The bottom line: If you want the more interesting year with the Tremor package and a still-softening market, the 2023 is the better target. If your priority is spending less up front and you mainly want the Maverick’s compact-truck value, the 2022 is the smarter budget path.
