An Early Look at the 2023 Ford Maverick

Performance

With two engines to choose from, a gas and a hybrid option, the 2023 Maverick offers impressive performance with variable horsepower. The gas engine is a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter that pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the hybrid is a 191-horsepower 2.5-liter that gets an estimated 500 miles of combined driving range.

For off-road excursions, Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is available, which automatically optimizes traction when detecting terrain changes. Towing a trailer or hauling cargo is also simple with this truck, thanks to its 4,000-pound maximum towing capacity and 1,500-pound payload rating.

Design

Many stylish amenities are available for the Maverick’s spacious cabin, from Desert Brown ActiveX-trimmed seats to a Navy Pier-themed interior. You can also opt for an eight-way power driver’s seat and six-way power passenger seats, which come standard with the Lariat trim.

Outside the truck, you can stylize the exterior to your needs, such as by adding 18-inch machined aluminum wheels, steel skid plates, tow hooks, or all-terrain tires. With the FLEXBED option, you can extend the length of the bed when you need extra space for things, and the tailgate has a multi-position function that allows you to keep it halfway open if you need to.

Technology

As for technology, this pickup comes with the innovative SYNC infotainment system, which gives you hands-free control over music, videos, and other media while allowing you to connect your smartphone to the system through a wireless Bluetooth connection.

If music is your passion, you’ll love the premium eight-speaker B&O sound system, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot is also available for anyone who needs to access the Internet while out on the road.

Safety

The Maverick’s safety features use advanced technology to avoid collisions while making every drive less stressful. Take the Adaptive Cruise Control feature for instance, which has a Stop-and-Go function to keep the truck at a specific distance from other vehicles on the road while also keeping you centered within your lane.

When driving off-road or down steep slopes, Hill Descent Control limits the vehicle’s speed so you can maintain control at all times, while BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert can warn you on highways when other vehicles are getting too close to yours, including those that are crossing your lane from behind.

The 2023 Maverick offers a one-of-a-kind design alongside strong performance and stunning technology inside and out. To schedule this unique pickup for a test drive, contact us at Lundgren Ford today, and we’ll help you pick out the perfect trim level to match your needs.
