Now entering its third model year of production, the Ford Maverick is in line to receive a host of rather notable changes for the 2024 model year, as Ford Authority has reported over the past few months. However, the compact pickup remains in high demand and short supply, as has been the case since it launched for the 2022 model year. Regardless, in September, Ford Maverick production at the Hermosillo Assembly plant really picked up, and that trend continued in October as well, according to the automaker’s most recent sales report.
In September, Ford produced a total of 13,058 Maverick pickups, which was an increase of 4,576 units or 54 percent, month-over-month, versus August, when it built 8,482 units, marking its best production month in the 2023 calendar year thus far. However, the Ford Maverick managed to top that in October as 13,492 were produced in total, which is 434 units or around 3.3 percent more than the month prior, setting a new high mark for the year and bringing the compact pickup’s total 2023 production to 99,186 units.
Production of the 2023 Maverick ended last month as well, making way for the 2024 model to take over. The 2024 Maverick ushers in a host of changes to the lineup, including some shuffling around in terms of equipment for the Lariat trim, and perhaps most notably, the elimination of the 2.5L Hybrid engine as the base powerplant, as that combination is now an extra-cost option. On the outside, the 2024 Ford Maverick adds two new exterior colors while also deleting four, too.
Additionally, the off-road-focused Tremor gets new graphics but ditches the optional Tremor Off-Road Appearance Package, and it’s also getting rid of the windshield wiper de-icer and deleting the SecuriCode keyless entry keypad, though the latter feature is still available as a dealer-installed option. These changes are accompanied by a price increase for the 2024 model year, too.

Why are they deleting the keyless pad? That’s the one feature I like the most.
Still available as a dealer-installed option.
They also say that the XL base version does not come with remote start, but both keyless unlock/lock and remote start come with the Ford Pass Ap you get when you buy the truck…so you do get it.
Because it’s straight out of the 1990s.
Keyless entry is absolutely a must for me !!!
It still has remote keyless entry, the keypad is going away as a factory option and will be available as a dealer-installed option.
I’ve ordered two Maverick XLTs, a 2022 and a 2023, and so far neither dealer has been able to deliver. I’ve seen exactly two Mavericks ion the streets over the past two years. Yet, CarMax has 137 Mavericks listed on its site, all with substantial markups over MSRP. What is wrong with this picture? Ford is going to lose a lot of customers over these shenanigans.
That’s because demand is higher than supply I paid 26,000 for my truck 2023, XLT and it’s worth $34,000 now if I sold it today
The Maverick i ordered in Sept 2022 is finally showing as in production. I got bumped to 2024. It has been showing as in production since 11/6. How damn long does it take to build one of these anyway???
I ordered the ‘22 XLT hybrid in December 2021. Never got it. I received a letter from Ford in October’22 apologizing for it taking so long. No correspondence from them or the dealership I used to place the order since then. The dealership I used hasn’t responded to any of the text or emails I sent over the past year. I think I’m done.
They don’t make much money when they sell these, so they’ll just take your unit when they receive it and up the price on it considerably it will be gone within a day or two
Ford now includes the Window de-icing equipment on at least the 24 Lariat Hybrid. It is part of the LUX package and listed on the build page of Ford’s site.
