Is the 2023 Ford Maverick a good car?

Generally — the 2023 Ford Maverick earns a 4.39/5 user rating and a 7.33/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its impressive gas mileage, comfort, and value, and many like the hybrid option and practical design for family use and hauling. The Maverick also stands out for its fuel-efficient personality and distinctive styling, which help it feel more interesting than many compact pickups.

The trade-offs are that it can be noisy, its interior materials can feel cheap, and the infotainment system is older. For you, that means the Maverick makes the most sense if you want a practical small truck with personality rather than a plush cabin or cutting-edge tech.

With 31.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still a decent amount of value-oriented inventory to consider.

Is the 2023 Ford Maverick reliable?

Owners rate it 4.39/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a truck that feels dependable in everyday use, with praise for its practical design, comfort, and value. That kind of response usually matters more than a spec sheet when you’re trying to judge whether a used vehicle will be easy to live with over time.

The Maverick’s efficiency and straightforward hardware also support the sense that it is built for regular use rather than novelty. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about the concept and more about finding one that has been cared for properly and not priced aggressively by the market.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base XL is the most stripped-back version, with steel wheels and a more basic cabin feel, while XLT and Lariat add more visual polish and equipment. The Tremor package adds off-road capability, blacked-out exterior details, unique accents, and all-terrain tyres, but it also changes the truck’s character and capability trade-offs.
• Powertrain: The standard hybrid pairs a 2.5-litre four-cylinder with an electric motor, while the 2.0-litre EcoBoost adds more power and standard AWD in Canada. If you want the Tremor’s off-road hardware, note that it uses the hybrid powertrain and is the only Maverick with Ford’s Advanced 4WD system.
• Safety package: Ford Co-Pilot 360 is standard, with automatic high beams, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, and a rear view camera. Available upgrades include adaptive cruise control, lane centring, evasive steering assist, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and hill-descent control.
• Infotainment: The standard setup uses an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, wired Apple CarPlay, and wired Android Auto. Lariat adds a 6.5-inch driver-information display, and its Luxury Package brings Ford’s Sync 3 system, a wireless charging pad, and an upgraded B&O sound system.
• Fuel efficiency: The hybrid is rated at 5.8 L/100 km city, 7.1 highway, and 6.4 combined. The gas engine is rated at 10.9 L/100 km city, 8.4 highway, and 9.8 combined, while the Tremor package increases consumption to 11.9 city, 9.9 highway, and 11.0 combined.

Which 2023 Ford Maverick trim should I buy?

The 2023 Ford Maverick is offered in 4 trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, Tremor.

Here's the short version:

• XL: This is the value play if you want the Maverick’s core strengths at the lowest entry point, but you should expect the most basic wheels and the least upscale cabin presentation.
• XLT: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds more polish without pushing the Maverick into luxury-truck territory, and it is also one of the trims that can be paired with the Tremor package.
• Lariat: Choose this if you want the most comfort and convenience features, including the larger driver display and available Luxury Package equipment.
• Tremor: Pick this if you want the Maverick’s most rugged personality, off-road hardware, and the most distinctive appearance; it is also the only Maverick with Advanced 4WD and Trail Control.

Ford Co-Pilot 360 is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim just to get the core safety suite.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to compare listings carefully and move quickly on strong examples.

• Deal availability: 31.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 241 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.13% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $33,214 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Ford Maverick's resale value?

The current average of $33,286 CAD sits slightly below last year's $36,233 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the Maverick is no longer riding the same early-market premium it once did, which can help future buyers but may temper what you can ask as a seller. If you own one, the current market shows that demand is still healthy, but buyers have become more price-sensitive as inventory has grown.

For resale, that means condition, trim, and equipment will matter a lot. Well-equipped examples and trucks with desirable features should hold attention better than bare-bones listings, especially if they are priced near the lower end of the range.

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 Co-Pilot 360 is standard, so every trim gets automatic high beams, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, and a rear view camera. Available safety upgrades include adaptive cruise control, lane centring, evasive steering assist, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and hill-descent control.

The night pedestrian-prevention result is the main caveat to keep in mind if safety is a top priority for you.

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:

• 31.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.13% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.39/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 adds the Tremor package, giving you more off-road capability and a more distinctive look.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $29,711 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $33,286 CAD average.
• It is a simpler, more approachable compact pickup with a standard hybrid powertrain.

The bottom line: If you want the more interesting and better-equipped year, the 2023 is the stronger pick. If your priority is spending less up front and you do not need the extra 2023-specific appeal, the 2022 is the better value path.
