What is new and exciting about the 2023 Ford Maverick versus its previous model? There is so much that has changed! Here at Benna Ford, we are excited to spread the news about the upgrades to the Ford Maverick. From the interior and exterior, to what’s under the hood, the Ford Brand has certainly created a buzz around this affordable sporty pickup. When designing the 2023 Ford Maverick, there was only efficiency and innovation in mind. 

What Has Really Changed?

When you break it down, the Ford Maverick is designed differently in four main categories; Exterior, interior, mechanical, and the packages offered. Let’s take a deeper dive into these four areas to check out the exciting new changes. 

Exterior –  The colors Rapid Red and Velocity Blue, exterior colors from the previous year, are discontinued to make way for the two new exterior colors. The 2023 Ford Maverick now comes in an Avalanche Gray and Atlas Blue Metallic. 

Interior – Inside, you will see that there is a soft vinyl-wrapped steering wheel that comes standard on the Lariat trim and on the XLT trim with the optional Luxury Package. The XL and XLT without the Luxury Package come with a urethane steering wheel. The 2022 Maverick had a leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel on XLT trim with Luxury Package and on Lariat trim. Cruise control is standard on the 2023 Maverick XL trim, while it was standard on the XLT and Lariat trims in previous years but not available on the XL trim. The 2023 Maverick Lariat Luxury Package also includes SYNC 3 as part of the optional package, while it was unavailable for the 2022 model year.

Mechanical – The 2023 Maverick powertrain lineup stays the same as in 2022, with a standard 2.5L I4 gasoline hybrid engine that generates 191 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque, paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. The Maverick XL and XLT trims feature this engine. The optional 2.0L I4 EcoBoost engine comes with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, offering 250 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. This engine is available on all three trim levels. 

Furthermore, several functional features, such as bed tie-down locking rails, spray-in bedliner, and hard drop-in bedliner, are now available as standalone options instead of being included in a package. For XLT and Lariat trims, the remote start system is also available as a standalone option, having previously been included only in the XLT Luxury and Lariat Luxury packages.

Packages – There have been significant changes to the Mavericks package lineup. The Tremor Off-Road Package is the highlight of these changes and can be added to Maverick XLT and Maverick Lariat trims for an extra $2,995. This package includes strong off-road suspension, Trail Control, front skid plates, and Advanced 4WD, as well as selectable Drive Modes for different driving conditions. 

The Tremor Package also has exterior features like a redesigned front bumper, unique grille, and 17-inch Machined-face Tarnished Dark Aluminum wheels with Orange painted pockets. The Tremor Orange theme is carried to the vehicle’s interior, which features Black Onyx seats with Tremor Orange stitching and logos. The Tremor Appearance Package and the Black Appearance Package are also available options.
