What do camping vacations, fishing excursions, off-roading trips, and DIY home renovations all have in common? They’re all made possible with the help of a light-duty truck like the 2023 Ford Maverick or the 2023 Ford Ranger!
These versatile trucks can do nearly anything in West Point, King William, and Williamsburg—especially with you behind the wheel. As two top-notch pickups, which one is better for you? Our West Point Ford team has put together this Ranger vs. Maverick comparison to help you decide. Let’s go!
STANDARD HORSEPOWER
TOWING CAPACITY
CARGO VOLUME
These two Ford trucks know a thing or two about how to help you get into action. However, each truck prioritizes different aspects of your drives.
The Maverick is the only pickup with a standard hybrid engine: It produces 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque, by the way! A gas-powered 2.0L EcoBoost® engine is available to add extra oomph to your commutes.
On the other hand, the Ranger has one trusty powertrain: a 2.7L EcoBoost® engine that powers out 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. That’s a lot of standard power, which is plenty of juice to offer thrilling acceleration!
Both trucks provide the momentum you need to finally start your patio renovation; however, thanks to its hybrid powertrain, the Maverick prioritizes efficiency. Meanwhile, the Ranger prioritizes power with its dynamic performance.
On top of exciting power and efficiency from these Ford pickups, you can also tow with either option. Due to its greater engine output, the Ranger can haul heavier items thanks to its 7,500-pound maximum towing capacity. The Maverick doesn’t fall too far behind! When properly equipped, this hybrid truck can tow up to 4,000 pounds!
So, you’ll have to make your decision based on what kind of towable cargo and equipment you have.
Size-wise, the Maverick and the Ranger are quite different. However, both SUVs offer plenty of space inside their respective cabins and within their cargo beds for your adventure gear and crew, your tailgate supplies, and more. Which truck offers the right amount of space for your needs?
Check out their exterior dimensions below to see how they stack up:

| Wheelbase | 121.1 inches | 126.8 inches |
The Ranger is larger than the Maverick, which means your passengers may have more wiggle room.
The Ranger is available with a 5-foot or a 6-foot bed. When equipped with the larger of the two, you’ll have up to 51.8 cubic feet of space available. Plus, four tie-downs will help keep your camping gear in place.
On the other hand, the Maverick has a standard 4.5-foot bed, which offers up to 33.3 cubic feet of space for your supplies. However, this cargo bed also has a FLEXBED® system, up to 10 tie-downs, and a multi-position tailgate included. The FLEXBED® system makes it easy to configure the bed as you like: bike racks, dividers, bed extender, you name it.
While the Maverick has the customizable bed, the Ranger offers more space for your gear. So, which one will you choose?
The Ranger and the Maverick both connect you to nature thanks to their impressive capabilities. They can also keep you connected to your loved ones even while off the grid thanks to full-fledged infotainment suites. Which truck has the tech you crave, though?
Inside either Ford truck, you’ll have access to a comprehensive cockpit. However, the Maverick’s standard equipment may aid your productivity and enhance your viewing experience better. Inside the Maverick, you’ll have an 8-inch LCD touchscreen in the center stack and a 4.2-inch instrument cluster screen behind the wheel.
In the Ranger, a 3.5-inch screen functions as your command hub in the center dash. A 2.3-inch productivity screen sits in the instrument cluster. However, with an upgrade, the Ranger can size up its screens to match those of the Maverick.
With larger standard displays in the Maverick, you may have an easier time navigating your infotainment or viewing vital vehicle information. However, the Ranger also offers similarly sized screens. This begs the question: How much display real estate do you prefer from the jump?
The 2023 Ranger and the 2023 Maverick are both worth your while, especially if you plan to venture around West Point, King William, and Williamsburg. After a final review, we believe a test drive of either truck—or both—is in order! Visit West Point Ford today to get behind the wheel.
