Among pickup trucks, the 2023 Ford Maverick stands out with its intelligent all-wheel drive and a smaller design that allows it to maneuver more easily in tight spaces. Also offering up to 250 horsepower, both gas and hybrid engine options and a luxurious interior, this edition has a lot to admire, including these five key things that drivers are talking about.
1. Infotainment in Full Color
To meet all your connectivity and entertainment needs, there’s the SYNC 3 infotainment system, which comes with both hands-free voice recognition technology and a full-color eight-inch touchscreen display. While using the system, you can ask for directions with its navigation function, play music and other multimedia files from both Android and iPhone devices wirelessly, make calls, send texts, and adjust many of the vehicle’s comfort features, from seating preferences to the in-cabin temperature.
2. A Flexible Bed in the Back
As one of the most versatile cargo-carrying solutions found in any truck today, the Maverick’s FLEXBED can hold up to 1,500 pounds of cargo. When loading cargo in the bed, you have multiple D-rings for securing it and tie-downs available that also serve as bottle openers for tailgate parties. This bed also provides threaded holes on each side of it: perfect for adding and bolting down your own accessories. This is all complemented by the truck’s multi-position tailgate.
3. A Tilt-and-Slide Moonroof
Not too many rugged pickups also offer luxury amenities like this one does, and its power-operated moonroof is a perfect example of this. With this feature, you can quickly open and close it with the push of a button, and its tilt-and-slide design allows you to ventilate the cabin with as much inflow air as you prefer at any time.
4. Selectable Drive Modes
Along with optional all-wheel drive, this truck also has Selectable Drive Modes: a feature that allows you to switch into different modes that are optimized for specific scenarios. Normal mode is for everyday driving, Slippery helps you take on wet and snow-covered surfaces, Sport enhances the engine’s response on highways, Eco helps you conserve gas, Tow/Haul is perfect for when you have a trailer or a heavy payload, and both Sand and Mud/Ruts allow you to easily tackle off-road terrains.
5. Active Collision Avoidance
Many impressive safety features are offered with this edition as well, including Pre-Collision Assist. If your path is suddenly blocked by another vehicle and you need to either slow down or move out of your lane to avoid it, Pre-Collision Assist can warn you before it employs Automatic Emergency Braking to stop the truck if necessary.
