Sibling Rivalry: 2023 Ford Maverick vs. 2023 Ford Ranger

Few vehicles can hold a candle to a time-tested model like the 2023 Ford Ranger, but its stablemate, the 2023 Ford Maverick, gives it the old college try. Both models offer the unique driving experience afforded by Ford engineering, but there are some essential differences between them too. Let’s take a look at how these two models compare to one another. 

2023 Ford Maverick

This newcomer to the Ford lineup is powered by a 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain that provides drivers with 191 horsepower. An available 250-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo-four powertrain is also available if you require extra pep. The former powertrain can tow up to 2,000 pounds, while the latter can tow up to 4,000 pounds.

The 2023 Ford Maverick only comes with a Crew Cab with seating up to five. The interior cabin boasts available features like ambient interior lighting, an onboard Wi-Fi® hotspot, and an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment center with seamless smart device integration. This versatility in both the interior and the performance makes this vehicle an excellent choice for drivers who want a smaller truck but who don’t want to sacrifice capability to get it.

2023 Ford Ranger

Conversely, the 2023 Ford Ranger has only one powertrain choice. Each 2023 Ford Ranger is powered by a 2.3-liter turbo-four engine capable of providing 270 horsepower and a towing capacity of 7,500 pounds.

You’ll have the choice between the five-occupant SuperCab interior or the smaller Crew Cab interior that can accommodate only four passengers. The 2023 Ford Ranger comes standard with an onboard Wi-Fi® hotspot and USB charging capability but will require at least the Lariat or XLT trim levels for smart device integration. If you’re looking for more power and capability, this truck is the better option.
