2023 Ford Maverick: A Buyer’s Guide!
Although it may not seem like it, the 2023 Ford Maverick is a workhorse pickup that justifies its position next to the Ranger and the F-150 with a unique design and unexpected functionality. The front-wheel-drive, fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain is standard, but a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and all-wheel drive are also available. The Maverick can be configured to tow up to 4,000 pounds, which is more than enough payload for a weekend’s worth of home improvement goods. It has four doors, a somewhat roomy interior, and various nifty storage ideas. Join us in this blog by Akins Ford DJCR as we take a closer look at the 2023 Ford Maverick.
Performance and Efficiency of the 2023 Ford Maverick
Ford’s choice of a standard hybrid powertrain for the Maverick caught us off guard. A 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine, a 1.1 kWh battery, an electric motor, and a CVT transmission are combined to provide 191 horsepower and 155 lb.-ft of torque, which are sent to the front wheels. The Maverick hybrid’s 42/33 mpg city/highway fuel economy is the best of any pickup truck now available. Ford now provides the Maverick with a 2.0-liter turbo-four for individuals who want additional power and AWD. Along with the FX4 off-road package and the 4K tow package, its engine is also available with FWD or AWD. The turbo-four replaces the hybrid’s CVT, which has an eight-speed conventional automatic and produces 250 horsepower and 277 lb.-ft of torque.
