• XLT: This trim adds 17-inch alloy wheels and more equipment than XL, making it the best-value choice for many shoppers who want a stronger balance of features and price.
• Lariat: This trim adds 19-inch alloy wheels, a gloss-black grille, and access to Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist, making it a smart pick if you want more convenience and towing tech.
• Tremor: This off-road model adds dedicated suspension tuning, all-terrain tires on 17-inch wheels, skid plates, and a twin-clutch rear drive unit for its AWD system.

What Ford Maverick do most buyers choose?

The Ford Maverick years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right trim, mileage, and price. They also sit in the sweet spot where newer features and broader availability overlap.

What is the Ford Maverick's resale value?

Used Maverick prices are moving lower across the board, which is good news if you're shopping for value. The newer model years are still commanding higher prices, but the year-over-year declines show that recent inventory has become a bit more approachable. The smallest drops are in the newest model years, which suggests those trucks are holding closer to their prior pricing.

The 2025, 2024, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Ford Maverick now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The standard hybrid powertrain is now available with front-wheel drive (FWD) or AWD, while the non-hybrid powertrain is AWD-only, the reverse of previous model years; the base FWD hybrid returns an impressive EPA-estimated 38 mpg combined (42 mpg city, 35 mpg highway), and the new-for-2025 AWD hybrid is just behind it at 37 mpg combined (40 mpg city, 34 mpg highway).
• Tech: The Sync 3 infotainment system has been replaced with the current Sync 4 system, and a standard 13.2-inch touchscreen replaces the previous eight-inch touchscreen, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard as well.
• Safety: Forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high beams are standard on the base XL, while lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control are available on higher trims.
• Starting price: For 2025, Maverick pricing starts at $29,840 (including a mandatory $1,695 destination charge) for a basic XL hybrid with FWD, steel wheels, and manually-adjusted mirrors.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
