2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid Lariat Review: The Cool Factor
The Maverick name at Ford may no longer be attached to a semi-sporty two-door coupe, but don’t let that deter you from having a look at the latest small pickup from Ford. Following in the footsteps of the original Ranger – it and the Maverick are about the same size – the new truck is here to provide the practicality of a pickup bed at a fraction of the cost – and a doubling-down on efficiency – of your typical pickup.

Other than that, outward visibility is fantastic – it takes the Hyundai Santa Cruz to the cleaners in this department – thanks to large side windows and squared off corners. Not only is the Maverick easy to steer through tight quarters and park, it’s a joy to do so.

The bottom seat cushion is actually a bench that folds up as one unit – there’s no split here – to access the bin. It’s nice to have, but it means no flat load floor and it cuts into back seat floor space that’s already limited. Rear set passengers do get their own USB ports.
