2022 Ford Maverick base still makes a strong case

The Ford Maverick XL trim still looks pretty good, despite being the base model.

It rocks some sweet 17-inch steel wheels.

The wheels definitely give off a truckier vibe.

This little dude only costs $22,985 after destination.

Inside, it looks more like a base model, but still not too bad.

In a world of $40,000 new cars, this is super refreshing.
