The 2022 Maverick at a glance
The 2022 Ford Maverick is a 4-year-old used pickup that originally listed at approximately $26,000 for a base configuration. After 4 years of ownership-cycle depreciation, fair market value for typical-mileage examples lands between $11,093 and $16,782, with low-mileage clean-title trucks pushing toward the upper bound and higher-mileage or salvage-history trucks anchoring the lower bound.
The Maverick at this model year was built on the Ford light-duty platform and offered in regular, extended, and crew cab body styles. Maximum trailer towing capability for this year is 4,000 lb when properly equipped (typically requires the optional max tow package and the right axle ratio); maximum payload is 1,500 lb in the lightest cab/bed/drivetrain combination.

Common issues for the 2022 Maverick
- Limited initial supply led to dealer markups; verify final selling price vs MSRP
- Hybrid 12V battery early failures
- Cargo light recall (2022)
Service history matters more on this model year than mileage alone. A 2022 Maverick with documented oil changes, transmission services performed at the recommended interval, and any open recalls completed is worth meaningfully more than an undocumented truck of the same mileage. Ask the seller for the maintenance binder; if it does not exist, ask the local Ford dealership to pull the VIN history before you commit to a price.

Should you buy a 2022 Maverick right now?
The honest answer depends on three variables: how the truck was used, what powertrain it has, and what comparable competitors are listed for in your state. A 2022 Maverick with a manufacturer warranty still in effect or recently expired, the volume powertrain (avoid first-year-of-production engines unless you have done your homework), and a price near the middle of the $11,093–$16,782 range is usually a sound buy.
If you are cross-shopping the same model year against competitors, our comparison guides work through the trade-offs with real numbers. Diesel premium, towing differences, payload differences, and depreciation curves are all spelled out so you can decide whether the $3,000–$8,000 difference between similar trucks is justified for your use case.
