Every model year, engine, trim, recall and real-world price of the Ford Maverick — scored, so when the right used truck shows up you know it in ten seconds. The Maverick nameplate returned as a compact pickup in 2022; everything before that was a different car entirely.

Year by Year
One generation so far, five model years, and they are not created equal. 2022 carried first-year growing pains and the heaviest recall load. 2024 is the sorted, pre-refresh sweet spot. 2025 brought the big refresh — new face, 13.2-inch screen, and finally Hybrid + AWD together.
The Two Engines
This is the single biggest decision. The hybrid is the reason the Maverick exists — 40-plus mpg in town from a pickup. The EcoBoost is the one you want if you actually tow.

The Recall File
The Maverick's weakness isn't the engines — it's software and electrical gremlins, heaviest on 2022–23 builds. Every fix below is free at any Ford dealer forever. Before buying, run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls and check off what's been completed.
Pre-Purchase Checklist
Print this in your head before you drive anywhere.
Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls and ask the seller for dealer records showing recall work completed — especially the 12V battery, camera and HPCM campaigns.
Hybrid test: from a stop, accelerate gently — the gas engine should join in seamlessly with no shudder, clunk or warning lights. Watch the cluster for any "shift to park" weirdness.
EcoBoost test: crawl in stop-and-go traffic and feel for harsh 1–2 and 2–1 shifts; listen for turbo rattle on cold start.
Backup camera: shift to reverse five separate times. The '22–24 Connected Touch Radio freeze is intermittent — one clean test proves nothing.
Brakes: low-speed stops in a parking lot; early trucks had grabby-brake software. Also confirm brake lights aren't stuck on.
12V battery: ask if it was replaced under recall 25V-019 (2022–23). A failing one strands hybrids and gassers alike.
Tow package check: if you want to tow, verify the 4K Tow Package sticker/window build — a hitch receiver alone is not the package (no trans cooler, no brake controller).
Bed and tailgate: check FLEXBED slots for cracks and the tailgate's mid-position cables.
Price test: run it through the Deal Checker above. If it stamps TAKE IT and the recalls are done — take it.
