Use the 2023 Ford Maverick to cut back on fuel costs without missing out on truck-style utility. Ford’s compact truck, all-new for the 2022 model year, is changing how we think about rugged performance. Let’s take a look at the latest Maverick and everything it can bring to your daily drive.
What’s new for the 2023 Ford Maverick?
There’s one major development for the new Maverick. Ford’s compact truck now offers the Tremor package! Available for the mid-level XLT and top-tier Lariat, the Tremor package adds a wealth of off-road-ready performance gear to your ride, including an extra inch of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, an upgraded all-wheel drive system, and more.
Why choose the 2023 Ford Maverick?
As the only compact pickup truck on the road, the Maverick offers a unique blend of truck-style performance (read: towing, hauling, off-roading) without the hefty footprint of a bigger model. The Maverick is only in its second model year, which means it offers all the latest smartphone integration features, safety aids, and comfort options.
How capable is the 2023 Ford Maverick?
No matter how it’s equipped, every Maverick can haul payloads weighing up to 1,500 pounds. That’s very impressive for a small truck that comes standard with a hybrid engine.
When you go with the Maverick’s standard powertrain, you’re getting both a very efficient ride and a capable one. With its hybrid four-cylinder engine, this small truck can tow up to 2,000 pounds.
Every Maverick comes standard with this hybrid powertrain:
- Hybrid 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (191 horsepower, 155 lb-ft of torque)
- Continuously variable transmission
- Front-wheel drive
If you’re looking for a little extra oomph, you can upgrade to the Maverick’s bigger four-cylinder, non-hybrid powertrain:
- 2.0L four-cylinder engine (250 hp, 277 lb-ft)
- Eight-speed automatic transmission
- Front-wheel drive
- Optional all-wheel drive
Choosing this engine also opens the door for optional all-wheel drive, traction-boosting performance gear that comes in handy on the trail. This powertrain is also the increasingly capable option, with a maximum tow rating of 4,000 pounds.
Just how efficient is the 2023 Ford Maverick?
The Maverick is very efficient, no matter which engine you select. However, its standard hybrid powertrain is the thriftier option, helping you earn up to 42 mpg on the highway.
Although EPA ratings for the 2023 model year haven’t been released, they should be the same as last year:
- 2.5L hybrid powertrain: 37 mpg combined (42 city/33 highway)
- 2.0L four-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive: 26 mpg combined (23 city/30 highway)
- 2.0L four-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive: 25 mpg combined (22 city/29 highway)
