Online expert reviews have had a lot of great things to say about the 2023 Maverick, including praise for its modest starting price, a lot of available options to enhance towing, off-roading, and more, as well as strong acceleration with the available turbocharged powertrain. Let’s take a closer look at this incredible platform.
