What Ford Maverick do most buyers choose?

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

Higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they usually give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right trim, mileage, and price. They also tend to be the easiest years to shop if you want a broad mix of listings.

What is the Ford Maverick's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the model years, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. The largest drops are concentrated in the older and newer ends of the range, while the middle years have moved down more modestly. That creates a useful spread of price points for buyers who want to balance budget and freshness.

The 2024, 2023, and 2025 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?

• 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; Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard as well, along with a new eight-inch digital instrument cluster.

• 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 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2027 inventory to mature.
