2023 Ford Maverick | For People Who Never Knew They Wanted A Truck

A look at what the 2023 Ford Maverick is all about. The smallest truck Ford has made and it's extremely popular! It's for the people that never knew they needed a pick up.
This model from Ford turned out to be so popular that Ford had to shut down the order banks as they could not keep up with demand for the Maverick. It's safe to say that the small truck segment is going to be a big time seller in the future.

It may seem crazy but there are actually still a lot of people who remember when trucks were not like the massive full size trucks out there today. To a lot of us a "normal" truck doesn't have to cost house money and be that big.

[@MrBig617]

It just needs useful bed space instead of a full size back seat.

[@saleenadam1]

@@MrBig617 exactly, the back seat on this is pointless and 2 more feet of bed would make this an actual truck bed. The reason i've still got one 2006 Ranger around is for this purpose.

[@justinv7151]

Honestly i think the Maverick is what the Ranger should have been, small, capable and cheap. The new ranger feels like a reskinned F150...it isn't much smaller then a 150 either, as for styling I personally say that the Maverick is the first good looking truck Ford has made in 15 years. Its the only new vehicle I'd ever consider owning or driving

The Ranger is what the F150 used to be.

I agree Justin, the Mav is good looking. I like it so much I bought 2. A turbo AWD and a hybrid that you can see on my channel.

[@TonupTodd]

I don’t want or need a vehicle that can tow a house. I want a vehicle I can stick my bloody fishing and hunting gear into without stinking up the the the danm interior. I don’t need a 4x4 to get me to the boat or camp/ hunting grounds. My ego can handle it just fine without the bro-dozer crap as well.

[@that1guyonpoint213]

The Maverick really is a stroke of genius by Ford, they literally created a market segment that didn't exist 5 years ago.

[@ClockworkCrow7]

*Has been neglected since 2005. There's always been a light truck market. Just look at the popularity of the trucks from 2006 and before, especially the s10 & ranger, as well the proliferation of japanese truck imports. They just opted to make trucks, the bread n butter of the blue collar worker, filled with features that no one wants so they can charge more & more, pricing them out of the market to serve suburban office drones.

I love how honest you are in your reviews. You used “the best ever made” and “the worst ever made” to describe the same vehicle, referring to different qualities of the same truck. You’re awesome

[@CJDiecast]

Coming from a Maverick owner, I absolutely adore this truck! I've had my Area 51 Lariat for almost a year now and have not had any issues with it. It's the perfect size, has all the safety features and creature comforts I could ever want, it's easy to park, gets great fuel economy despite having the bigger 2.0L Ecoboost with AWD (averaging 25-28 mpg) and looks the part. That's why the latter attribute is where I disagree with you. To me, this is a great looking truck. I can't tell you how many looks and compliments I get with it. It's not too flashy in its design and has a genuine but unique look at the same time. It does look like a proper truck, just minimized. If you want to talk ugly, the Hyundai definitely suits it. That is one of the reasons why the Maverick outsells the SC so much other than price. I don't think this is the ugliest truck Ford's ever made, not in the slightest. To me that's a bold statement.

[@fordmaverickmaniac]

I agree Hot Wheels, including the look of the SC and its plastic bed. And I like your name. I have owned 2 for over a year like you. I show them in over 100 videos on my channel. With all you know, you should post some vids I will sub!

[@themidnighttavern6784]

Area 51 XLT hybrid owner here, it's an amazing machine. Wasn't a fan of Area 51 in reveal pics/photos. But as I'm sure you'll agree, it's an amazing looking color in person. I especially love it when there's a bit of overcast and it has that rich teal look to it.

[@stevethomas760]

As a Maverick owner for about 20 hours I think this trucklette will suite my needs better than my F150. The heaviest thing I put in the 150 was a paddle board and some mulch. My hybrid XLT was $24K, that price point is going to be difficult for other manufacturers to do. Big downside is that I did have to wait 16 months to get it.

[@themidnighttavern6784]

Maverick hybrid owner here, love ours after 6 months. What's your spec? We went with an Area 51 XLT. The area 51 color pairs very well with the orange/light gray/blue interior of the XLT imo.

[@cheta4949]

Appreciate the honest & good review of the Maverick, it's not for everyone but for a lot of people that's never owned a truck & have no need for a full-size V8 engine that can tow a trailer or a boat this is perfect for them. I'm retired & have placed an order for a Maverick Lariat Tremor because it checks all the boxes for me. I'm not looking to tow anything, maybe a little light off-roading like campgrounds, dirt roads & trips to Home Depot or Lowe's. It'll do everything that I need it to do. I've owned F150's & Rangers before but have no need for them. The price of the Maverick is reasonable in my opinion. Thanks for your review!!!

[@JeffryJForan]

It's based on the Escape/Bronco Sport architecture and it took everyone by surprise with how in demand it is. I read somewhere the highest areas for pre-orders were around big cities like NYC and LA. Small mild-mannered commuter that can get dirty on the weekends. I agree with you, the styling (front) is not Ford's best work 🤦‍♂️

I never understood why Ford stopped making the old small Rangers. I had two of them and they were great for a broke teen/young adult when I had them. I prefer a full size now but I can see why this is so popular. It’s a nice vehicle for the money. I’ve noticed a lot of old guys are buying them probably because they are easier to climb into than a full size truck

[@Aaron_Voltz]

I've been wanting a pickup truck since 2010. But the F150 was too expensive and the Ranger wasn't that much less expensive. So i drove an 04' Taurus and then a 17' Focus because my income wasn't enough to get what i wanted. It's not a matter of not knowing if i wanted a pickup truck. So in 2021 when i heard of the Maverick starts at 20,000 & my 17' Focus could be traded in for $9,500. Now i finally have a pickup truck and barely was able to get all the options i wanted for $37,000 .... that's just $2,000 more than the starting price for an F150 😆.

The old Ford Ranger didn’t make Ford a lot of money. People would walk in looking for the cheapest truck ford sold, cutting into their f150 sales. They discontinued it, only to lose customers to other brands. They reintroduced it, but it was more like what the f150 used to be, however they were still missing customers who just wanted a small truck. Bringing their European vehicles this was was smart. New designs without having to spend as much on development, plus they filled that gap they made.

I got in on the order bank and was told that I may need to wait until December (about 6 months) for my Maverick, I told them I am totally OK with that I think it's worth the wait. It's everything that I wanted in a truck. I don't need a gigantic behemoth that gets 2 miles per gallon, I just want the utility of a truck bed and good gas mileage. I'm not going to be towing 10,000lb RVs or anything so it will be perfect. Super excited.

[@natas6941]

This truck brings back the small pickup. The day of the old S10s and Ford Ranger when they were SMALL. This is a market that got neglected because trucks just got bigger and bigger.

I've been waiting for 18 months to get my Ford Maverick. I have a Toyota Tacoma in the household that is good for driving around town, but gets about 22-23mpg at the most on the highway. The Maverick getting an average of 37mpg is a no brainer for someone that wants a pickup truck bed, but not the pickup truck mpg. This truck fits the market perfectly since the Ranger is about the size of a late 90s F-150 and the F-150 is just gigantic.

What is funny is they will not sell this in Sweden...even though it is smaller and much more fuel efficient than the Ranger, and would probably outsell the Ranger. I just came back a few months ago from being in Sweden 3 months, my fiancé is Swedish.

[@tomrluther]

I didn't think your review was that great!

[@nardi1783]

How bout the Honda Ridgeline,it’s been out for years. Just another alternative. For me, it would be Ford. Thank you for an for another great video

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

Not in the same class, it competes with the Ranger

[@randybryant9936]

Nice color

I've always loved smaller trucks and was sad when the days of smaller trucks ended back in the late 90s early 2000s. I always loved the super small Nissan trucks, and the Chevy S10s were also highly sought after in the late 90s when I was still in Highschool. Happy to see a smaller truck on the market! It's a great looking vehicle! The wheels/rims are ugly as hell, but I'd just upgrade those to something else! I honestly don't think I like that it's front wheel drive though! I'd prefer it to be RWD or even AWD. That's the only thing about this truck that makes me feel a little hesitant about it.

The Mav has AWD with the turbo engine. I show videos from this winter in Park City climbing steep snow covered streets with just the street tires no problem.

[@applepie1911e]

I prefer fwd over rwd

I absolutely love my 2022 ford maverick XLT Fx4 in Area 51. I’ve had it since October 30, 2021 it’s been great, fits my vehicle needs. My channel has some mods I’ve done to mine.

[@justinpimentel8569]

Honestly was looking for Mavericks or 1 or 2nd gen Raptor and ended up getting a 2019 RAM lol but Maverick worth the money

[@briancarter9927]

you ever tested the mpg towing a camper behind this?

[@neilscottfaulkner]

Compared to an Avalanche, it looks like a Lambo, so I don’t mind its looks. And, it has cool paint options.

[@erichurst2496]

I ordered mine because I needed cheap transportation and a truck to throw pine straw in. I need to move bulky things once in a while.

[@tripperdan]

I've had two Rangers ('91 & '95) and I was wanting another small truck. Ford killed the Ranger and also the Explorer Sport Trac, and here we are 10+ years later and Ford finally realized how stupid they were. The "new" Ranger wasn't it (more like an F-100 size, imo). When they announced the Maverick, my first thought was "This is what the Ranger should've been in the first place". I just got my VIN number, been waiting since last year and I'm excited about getting my CHEAP truck.

[@josipdolic6391]

For 20 some k this an awesome vehicle plus 4 1/2 foot box Great

[@diegoinventa]

careful towing with the hybrid (even within specification), my engine died

[@rdubs1705]

Well that's concerning

[@monkeyboy9896]

Please elaborate 👀.

[@dirtyjohn6556]

I had a ford once it had a bad speaker so the next thing I knew they replaced the dashboard then had to replace it again. I limped it into a Toyota dealer and have never owned one sense and that was probably the early 80's. Had to change the dashboard out because the door speaker didn't work.

[@JB-gw2vz]

I own a 2017 F150 STX. Ordered 2023 Maverick XLT hybrid. My F150 won't fit in my garage. I like the look and practicality of the Maverick.

[@Snake-ms7sj]

Believe it or not, the Maverick is only 4 inches longer than a Honda Accord.

[@regionalwarrant4808]

I really wish they offered it in a 5 or 6 speed I think it would be a fun little truck

[@StarScream0722]

I got a Maverick on the way from Ford. I have always driven Hatchbacks. The size isn't the reason am getting this, its the price. Mine is going to cost 28k. good luck getting a new truck for 28k anywhere else, plus the MPG keeps the cost down on my 80 mile commute.

[@caddmann]

It for those of us who just want a compact pickup again.

[@foxyccc1316]

I kinda feel this is the escapes version of the explorer sport trac.

[@benjaminmiller3890]

I would love a 6 sp manual ecoboost.

[@ironchung30]

Love everything about this truck, but I do question the long term reliability with it being a Ford - I could be wrong. That’s the only reason I went with a Tacoma.

[@froty1794]

I’m in the market for a hybrid around $25k, seems like a good option if I can get one.

[@timdavison2417]

I agree on being ugly, but you forgot about the looks of the courier back in 79-80. It was ugly but fun to drive lol.

[@Ronathon02]

The base model maverick looks the best. The led headlights look amazing. The wheels on this blue one are hideous though

[@lakeheadbro2449]

This reminds me of the ford explorer sport trac
