"The Ford Maverick wins our Best Pickup Truck award for the second year in a row because there’s still no better value on the market for someone needing a utility vehicle that’s comfortable, efficient, innovative and stylish. Ford’s experience as the world leader in pickup trucks is evident in this diminutive little trucklet; despite its size and affordable price, the Maverick comes packed with unmatched capability and utility for the money."

Quite an accomplishment, given that the Maverick didn't even change from the prior model year.

I mean, if it ain't broke...

For sure, but these things almost always go to the newest, shiniest thing. It's even in the fine print: "What’s eligible: All models that are new or significantly revised for the 2023 model year."

2023 has an all-new Frontier and Colorado among other refreshes, yet the Maverick hangs on which is almost unheard of. I think the "all new" Tremor was the excuse they used to sneak us back in!
