Hey everyone. I’ve got a 2022 Ford Maverick XL with AWD and around 15,000 miles. I’ve checked Carvana and similar sites just to get a sense of its value, and honestly, I’d prefer a Tacoma over the Maverick.
For those of you who know the market or are in sales, how is the Maverick selling these days, especially used ones? Are they still moving quickly, or has demand slowed down?

If they have one in transit, you could get it pretty quickly—maybe a month. For an actual custom order, it’s random. Could be a month, could be nine.
We’ve had two come through as trade-ins, and the response was underwhelming. One sat on our lot for four months with almost zero interest, even when we dropped the price and told buyers to make an offer.
Your area might be different, but around here, the hype has definitely cooled off.

Interesting. It really felt like the Maverick was a hot item when it first came out. I’m guessing hybrids are still the more desirable option. Thanks for sharing your experience!

I think the interior design might have something to do with it. It’s quirky—not bad, but it doesn’t feel cohesive. It didn’t invite me to take it for a spin.
The Maverick was hot when it first launched because it filled a niche for a cheap, practical truck. But with rising interest rates and higher prices now, demand has cooled off.
If the Maverick fits your needs and you don’t mind the quirks, it’s a good choice. But if you want something more dependable with a solid reputation, Toyota is hard to beat. A used Tacoma might be the better option for peace of mind.
