2022 vs 2024 Ford Maverick… Is there really a difference?

I might have a chance to grab a 2022 XLT Hybrid, but I also have a 2024 Maverick on order. It’s supposed to go into production soon since I ordered it last summer. I’m not in a big rush, but I’m curious…

What’s the difference between a 2022 and a 2024 in terms of quality? Are the 2024 models going to be more reliable because they’ve fixed issues from earlier years? Or is it basically the same truck? I know about small updates like the rear window and code entry, but reliability is my main concern.

2024 should be more reliable. They’ve had time to fix a few of the early issues, but I wouldn’t pay anything crazy over market value just because it’s newer.

How much are they asking for the 2022? I got my 2022 XL with a few options for $23k. Don’t overpay.

Exactly! Stick to that logic.

I’m jealous of people who got 2022s at MSRP without waiting a year or more. I didn’t even hear about the Maverick until mid-2022.

@Harlan
Yeah, but I still waited about a year for mine.

Fair point. The 2022 is listed at $31,500 for the XLT, but I was planning to negotiate. It has about 10,000 miles on it.

@Zenith
I’ve got a 2022 AWD with 4K tow and 11,000 miles. The highest offer I’ve gotten recently is $26,000. At $31,500, they’re definitely looking for a big profit.

I traded mine for $29,500 three weeks ago. My friend was offered $26,500 for the same setup but in Indiana. I traded at a high-volume dealership in Illinois.

@Stormy
That’s a solid trade value. Was yours an XLT or a Lariat? And why did you trade it in—any issues?

2023 XLT AWD with LUX and BAP packages. I traded it for an F-150 because I needed more capability. Plus, I’ve got a 2024 hybrid Maverick on the way with the same options.

@Stormy
Makes sense! Yours definitely had more options than mine, so I can see why you got that price.

I just bought a new 2024 XLT Hybrid for $27,015 before taxes.

That sounds like MSRP. Is that right? I don’t even know what they’re going for now.

@Peyton
Yeah, pretty much. Dealers here aren’t adding crazy markups right now.

Honestly, the 2022 and 2024 are mostly the same aside from fixing recalls like the side-curtain airbag. The Maverick’s only been out for a few years, so we’ll need another few years before we know how reliable they are long-term.

I got my 2022 in November 2021, and it’s been rock solid so far.

How many miles do you have on it?

Just over 30,000 miles.

Newer models are usually better. The 2024 won’t have unresolved recalls, so it’ll hold its value better.
