Compared to other trucks on the market, the new Maverick is certainly cheap. It is even cheaper than its closest competitor, the Hyundai Santa Cruz. Ford’s most expensive small truck will cost you around $30,000. Coming in the form of the XLT Tremor Off-Road trim. 

Is the 2023 Maverick a truck?

Although the Maverick used to be a car, it is now Ford’s small pickup truck. It was released for the 2022 model year, and has proved itself to be extremely popular. The 2022 model sold out fairly quickly. And it sounds like after only a couple of weeks, the 2023 Maverick is no longer available.

According to Ford Authority, serious supply constraints are impacting the new Maverick. Much like they impact the automotive industry as a whole. But folks seem to be getting frustrated at that, especially those who are still waiting to receive their small truck. Hopefully, Ford is able to sort some of this out. And give customers the ability to purchase this compact pickup. 

When can I expect my 2023 Ford Maverick?

If you are lucky enough to have a Ford Maverick on the way, Ford says you should expect it in the fall of 2022. But, it is entirely possible that orders could be delayed. Much like they were for the 2022 Maverick. Because this small truck is so popular, it is hard for the Blue Oval to keep up. And that is even more true in the current climate. 

Your 2023 Ford Maverick could be delivered on schedule. And if you have questions, it might be best to contact your local dealership. They will likely be the best equipped to help you.
