The Maverick is a popular and prestigious truck among Ford aficionados. But has it changed since 2023? Let’s take a look at the details.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Ford Maverick models have not changed much between 2023 and 2024.
- The hybrid powertrain was standard in 2023, but it’s an upgrade in 2024.
- While the truck’s towing capacity is less than that of a F-150 (2,000 pounds to the latter’s 10,000 pounds), the Maverick’s Tremor off-road configuration makes hitting the trail an exciting experience.
Ford Maverick Trims and Pricing
The starting MSRPs for 2024 Ford Maverick trim packages are a little higher than they were last year. The small price jump is largely due to inflation and is industry-wide. Despite this, the Ford Maverick is still a reliable, powerful truck and is well worth the price. It’s current starting prices are:
- XL: $23,815
- XLT: $26,315
- LARIAT: $34,85
As it was just introduced in 2022, there have been only minor changes to Maverick in recent years.
Powertrain and Fuel Efficiency
While the hybrid powertrain was standard in 2023, it is not standard in 2024, but consumers can pay $1,500 for an upgrade. The feisty Maverick is now available with a Turbo 2.0L four-cylinder engine, delivering 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque. The standard powertrain also includes eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD), with the option for all-wheel drive (AWD).
A 2.5L four-cylinder hybrid engine delivering 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque is the available upgrade and includes continuously variable transmission and FWD.
The standard Maverick gets 26 mpg combined (23 city/30 highway), while the hybrid earns 37 mpg combined (42 city/33 highway).
Towing Capacity and Off-Roading
Towing and off-roading are a mixed bag for both years of the Maverick. If you’re towing heavy loads, this may not be the truck for you, as it has only a 2,000-pound capacity, but can reach 4,000-pounds with the 250 hp 2.0-liter EcoBoost. By comparison, the F-150 can tow up to 14,000 pounds.
When it comes to off-roading, however, the Maverick shines. Its Tremor off-road configuration, available in higher trims, offers a locking rear differential and more lift, which allows for better trail performance.
Interior Features and Tech
Both Maverick years feature an 8.0-inch infotainment screen and offer Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, collision mitigation and a six-speaker sound system. Luxury features are available at higher trims, including ambient interior lighting, two tone cloth or leather upholstery and dual-zone climate control to make your riding or driving experience that much more pleasurable. An eight-speaker Bang and Olufsen sound system is also available for the Lariat.
All trim packages have spacious interiors and four doors, which make getting in and out effortless.The XL is a dependable work truck but does not come with power mirrors or cruise control; however, the XLT and the Lariat do.
Bed Size and Exterior
The Maverick’s exterior has not changed much. The bed of the 2024 Maverick is still 4 1/2 feet but can handle most any job you have. There’s even an electrical outlet inside with an optional 110-volt upgrade.
