Ford Maverick Gets First-Ever Rebate, But There Are Exceptions

The Ford Maverick launched for the 2022 model year and immediately faced on rather large problem – demand for the affordable compact pickup far exceeded supply, as well as the automaker’s production capacity at the time. As such, many of those wishing to buy a new Maverick wound up paying markups for that privilege early on, and finding any sort of discount on that particular model has proven elusive as well. Now, the Ford Maverick has indeed been treated to its first-ever rebate, but there are quite a few exceptions that come with the deal.

A front three quarters view of the 2022 Ford Maverick.

According to a dealer bulletin recently seen by CarsDirect, this new incentive applies specifically to 2024 Ford Maverick EcoBoost pickups (not the hybrid), but only for shoppers that reside in California. Shoppers can choose between the Lariat trim or a Lariat equipped with the Tremor Off-Road Package as well, both of which are eligible for a $1,000 Retail Customer Cash incentive. On top of those asterisks, the Ford Maverick isn’t eligible for any kind of financing deal, nor a special lease rate, either.

Regardless, those that are in the market for a 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat EcoBoost pickup may find this deal to be enticing, particularly since the refreshed 2025 model is significantly more expensive than the outgoing version. As Ford Authority previously reported, the Lariat EcoBoost is $1,775 pricier than before with a starting MSRP of $36,735, while the Tremor has become its own trim level based on the Lariat and gained a whopping $7,010 in terms of cost, meaning that it now starts out at $39,795.

It is worth noting that the 2025 Ford Maverick does get more standard equipment than its predecessor, including a digital instrument gauge cluster and a larger, 13.2-inch screen running SYNC 4. However, loading up a new Tremor can set one back as much as $44,000, as Ford Authority recently reported, which is more than double the Maverick’s original base price of $19,995 when it debuted for the 2022 model year.

  2. Ford produces cars that don’t sell very well. And don’t produce enough cars that sell well. Then there’s the recall problem. Who is in charge of Ford? And if the figure it out… maybe they should find a new leader.

  5. At 20k for the base hybrid this was a great truck for people like me that wanted something to go to Home Depot on the weekends. But I couldn’t buy one because they made around 5.

    The second model year jumped way up in price to the point it was a worthless concept. I’d rather it a larger Tacoma for the price they are charging. And yes I skipped the Ranger because it looks like crap now.

    Been driving for 25 years and always bought fords. Their dealers are horrible both in sales and service department. Their cars are overpriced and unreliable. Although I hear Toyota is slipping down that road as well so I guess I’m out of luck.

  6. To the above points exactly, I was thinking about a maverick but now… no way. It has a great start price, which have people who need trucks a way to purchase one and not break the bank. Now it’s out of range, why would I spend 30g on that when I can get a used Toyota or even a new ram at a better price. Way to f that up ford
