Since its triumphant market debut in 2022, the Ford Maverick has consistently captured attention with positive reviews from both experts and buyers, earning prestigious awards and accolades. A standout achievement came from Consumer Reports, which honored the vehicle twice—first by naming it one of the most reliable pickups, and later by including it in their list of the ten best cars of 2026.

Now, Consumer Reports has added the Maverick to its list of the most reliable used pickups. It's one of six models to make the cut this time. The list is based on results from expert road tests and owner surveys, which show these pickups demonstrate above-average reliability in real-world conditions.

Experts highlighted the vehicle's outstanding features: both the hybrid version and the gasoline-powered EcoBoost variant are noted for their high fuel efficiency, the option for all-wheel drive, and an available 4K Tow Package that provides confident towing of heavy loads.

Owners particularly emphasize the model's advantages, such as excellent maneuverability and ease of handling, a comfortable cabin interior with well-positioned seating and good road visibility, and a spacious cargo bed that makes transporting various items convenient.

Furthermore, the updated 2025 version of the pickup is equipped with an expanded set of modern active safety systems, including an automatic emergency braking system with pedestrian detection, which enhances protection for the driver and passengers while driving.
