2023 Ford Maverick Capability and Utility: Expert Q&A with Dustin Zeck at Valor Ford Owners can 3D print their own custom accessories for the 2023 Ford Maverick using official CAD geometry files published by Ford for the Ford Integrated Tether System slots. Today, we sit down with Dustin Zeck, Dealer Principal at Valor Ford with 40 years of automotive experience, to discuss the capability, towing limits, bed dimensions, and interior storage versatility of Ford's innovative compact pickup. Q: Dustin, can owners really 3D-print their own custom accessories for the Ford Integrated Tether System slots in the 2023 Ford Maverick? A: Yes, owners can 3D-print personalized interior accessories for the 2023 Ford Maverick using the built-in Ford Integrated Tether System, commonly known as FITS. Ford took an unprecedented step by publishing open-source CAD geometry blueprints for these mounting slots, which allows drivers to design or download custom cup holders, phone mounts, grocery bag hooks, cable organizers, and storage bins that snap directly into place. Truck buyers who come into our showroom often ask if they can customize their cabin layout before they even take a test drive. The FITS slots are positioned at the rear of the center console and inside the under-seat storage bins, giving passengers flexible anchor points for daily organization. Because Ford made the dimensional files publicly available, an active community of enthusiast creators has designed hundreds of downloadable 3D printable files for cabin management. For drivers who want plug-and-play storage without operating a 3D printer, Ford also offers an official factory accessory package tailored specifically for these T-slot mounting points. Whether you fabricate personalized accessories at home or select factory-designed organizers, the cabin layout adapts easily to your daily routines. If you want to check out the cabin layout in person at our Junction City showroom on Goldenbelt Boulevard, feel free to stop by or give our sales staff a call directly at (785) 238-5114. Q: Moving to trailering and hauling, what is the maximum towing capacity of the 2023 Ford Maverick, and how do the different powertrains affect those ratings? A: The 2023 Ford Maverick achieves a maximum towing capacity of 4,000 lbs when equipped with the optional 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged engine, all-wheel drive, and the factory 4K Tow Package. Standard configurations with either the 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain or the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine without the towing upgrade are rated to pull up to 2,000 lbs. It is critical for shoppers to know that the standard 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle hybrid powertrain is capped at 2,000 lbs of towing capacity across all trim levels and cannot be optioned with the 4K Tow Package. For drivers who need to pull utility trailers, lawn equipment, or small boats, choosing the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine with all-wheel drive provides the necessary foundation for maximum hauling capacity. The factory 4K Tow Package includes heavy-duty mechanical cooling and gearing components engineered to handle heavier loads under demanding road conditions. This package adds a trailer hitch receiver, a 7-pin wiring harness, an upgraded cooling fan, a higher-capacity radiator, an external transmission oil cooler, and a revised axle ratio. If you want to dive deeper into engine specifications or review pre-owned vehicle options, feel free to explore our in-depth Ford Maverick research guide or view our current pre-owned pickup truck inventory online. Q: That makes sense regarding tow capabilities. When looking at cargo versatility, how do the 2023 Ford Maverick bed dimensions and cargo volume compare directly against a competitor like the Hyundai Santa Cruz? A: The 2023 Ford Maverick features a pickup bed floor measuring 54.4 inches long with a total cargo volume of about 33 cu ft, making its bed floor 6 inches longer than the Hyundai Santa Cruz bed floor, which measures 48.4 inches. "The beauty of the Maverick bed is that Ford engineered it for real utility, giving owners the dimensions and DIY flexibility to haul serious loads without needing a heavy-duty rig." The Maverick's FlexBed design delivers superior spatial efficiency for loading construction materials and outdoor gear. Measuring 42.6 inches wide between the wheelhouses and 20.3 inches high, the bed easily accommodates up to 18 sheets of 4x8-foot three-quarter-inch plywood placed flat across the wheel wells when the multi-position tailgate is set to its half-open position. Beyond raw physical dimensions, the FlexBed system includes pre-cut pocket slots, threaded bed holes, and pre-wired 12-volt electrical leads that allow owners to construct custom bike racks, false floors, or bed dividers using standard lumber. Standard payload capacity is rated at 1,500 lbs across most configurations, while the off-road Tremor variant carries a payload rating of 1,200 lbs due to its softer off-road suspension tuning. To keep your pickup's bed wiring, tie-downs, and mechanical components running smoothly, you can easily schedule Ford service online with our factory-trained maintenance technicians. Q: What do buyers typically misunderstand about the original pricing structure and available trims for the 2023 model year? A: Many buyers assume that stepping up in trim levels meant entering expensive price brackets, but the 2023 Ford Maverick offered a lineup with pricing that varied by trim and configuration; contact the dealership for current MSRP and destination charge details. Another common misconception is that all-wheel drive was standard across the lineup or available with the hybrid powertrain. In reality, all-wheel drive was paired exclusively with the 250-horsepower 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, setting the base MSRP to $24,815 for the XL AWD, $27,075 for the XLT AWD, and $30,575 for the Lariat AWD. For 2023, Ford also introduced the off-road focused Tremor package on XLT and Lariat trims, featuring an advanced twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system, a 1-inch suspension lift, and revised front bumper styling that increases the approach angle to 30.7 degrees. If you are cross-shopping compact truck capability with larger off-road SUVs, you can browse our new Ford Bronco inventory or estimate your current vehicle's trade-in value using our online trade-in evaluation tool. Q: Looking at driver protection on daily commutes, what standard safety technologies and active driver assists come equipped on the 2023 Ford Maverick? A: Every 2023 Ford Maverick comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360 safety technology, which includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, Pedestrian Detection, and Auto High-Beam Headlamps. In official crash test evaluations, J.D. Power reports that sampled 2023 Maverick models earned a 4-out-of-5 overall NHTSA crash safety rating, including top 5-star crash ratings for frontal and side impact testing. This high level of occupant protection is enhanced by active monitoring systems that scan the road ahead to help mitigate potential hazards. For additional driver convenience during highway travel, buyers could add the Blind Spot Information System, known as BLIS, featuring Cross-Traffic Alert and Lane-Keeping Assist. On the top-tier Lariat trim, the available Co-Pilot360 Assist package added Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering, and Evasive Steering Assist. If you are preparing for your vehicle purchase and want to review financing terms, you can get pre-approved for financing online through our finance department. Q: For truck shoppers ready to experience this utility firsthand, what are the best next steps to test-drive and secure a 2023 Ford Maverick at Valor Ford? A: The best next step for interested buyers is to get in touch with our sales team at Valor Ford to schedule an in-person walkaround, compare powertrain options, and take a comprehensive test drive.

What I Tell Drivers About the 2023 Ford Mustang Performance and Heritage What Makes the 2023 Ford Mustang S550 a Standout Blend of Performance and Heritage? The 2023 Ford Mustang S550 represents the pinnacle of sixth-generation pony car engineering, combining independent rear suspension and advanced track technology with classic styling cues and iconic powertrain options. It delivers an adaptable enthusiast platform, spanning from the energetic 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder up to the track-honed Mach 1 featuring a 5.0L Ti-VCT V8. Beyond pure mechanical capability, the 2023 model year serves as the final chapter of the S550 chassis, making it a highly desirable modern collector classic that balances everyday drivability with genuine muscle car pedigree. Over my 25 years as General Manager, I have watched the S550 generation set a new global benchmark for American performance. When Ford introduced standard independent rear suspension to this platform, it completely transformed how the car delivers power to the pavement. Drivers no longer have to compromise between straight-line acceleration and precise cornering stability. The iconic long-hood, short-deck proportions pay direct homage to the original 1964 design, while functional aerodynamic rear diffusers and functional hood vents handle high-speed air management. Heritage paint choices elevate that retro connection even further. For the 2023 model year, Ford offered standout colors including Grabber Blue Metallic, Eruption Green Metallic, and Mischievous Purple Metallic, alongside classic shades like Race Red and Oxford White. Optional styling packages, such as the Nite Pony Appearance Package with its black-painted roof, blacked-out grille, and 19-inch Ebony Black-painted wheels, allow buyers to personalize their coupe or convertible. Drivers exploring scenic routes along the Kansas River near Junction City frequently tell us how much attention these distinct color combinations command on the road. Finding the right S550 Mustang starts with expert guidance and a hands-on walkaround. If you are ready to evaluate a coupe or convertible in person, you can reach out to our team at (785) 238-5114 or stop by our Junction City dealership location to explore available options.

How Does the 2023 S550 Mustang Compare to the Redesigned 2024 S650 and Chevy Camaro SS 1LE? How Much Did the 2023 Ford Mustang Cost New, and What Is Its Current Used Market Value? Does the 2023 Ford Mustang Retain Its Resale Value Well Over Time? How Can You Find and Finance the Ideal 2023 Ford Mustang? What Engine Options Power the 2023 Mustang, and How Does the Mach 1 Hit 470 Horsepower? The 2023 Ford Mustang lineup offers three distinct engine calibrations across four main trim tiers, beginning with the turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost inline-four rated at 310 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. Upgrading to the GT Coupe or GT Convertible Premium brings the naturally aspirated 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 producing 460 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque in official factory spec sheet ratings. At the top of the range, the performance-engineered Mach 1 elevates output to 480 hp at 7,250 rpm while retaining 420 lb-ft of torque, pairing its V8 with a track-ready TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission featuring rev-matching capability. Achieving that headline figure in the Mach 1 required borrowing severe-duty components directly from Shelby engineering programs. Ford engineers fitted the 5.0-liter engine with an intake manifold, oil-filter adapter, and engine oil cooler sourced from the Shelby GT350, increasing engine oil cooling capability by 50 percent over a standard GT. Airflow is further optimized through dual side heat exchangers and a rear-axle cooling system. While a manual 6-speed transmission comes standard on EcoBoost Coupe, EcoBoost Convertible, EcoBoost Coupe Premium, EcoBoost Premium Convertible, and GT models, a 10-speed automatic with SelectShift paddle shifters is available across the board for rapid, precise gear changes. Every 2023 Mustang sends power exclusively to a Rear-wheel drive layout, complemented by a standard limited-slip rear differential. The base turbocharged engine utilizes a 63-millimeter twin-scroll turbocharger and a high-performance cylinder head to deliver peak torque down at 3,000 rpm, giving daily drivers swift throttle response without requiring high engine speeds. Meanwhile, the V8 engines thrive on high-rpm breathing, delivering an exhaust note through an available active valve performance exhaust system that lets drivers toggle between Quiet Start, Normal, Sport, and Track sound profiles.

The EcoBoost High Performance Package uniquely boosts the turbo-four engine to 330 hp, marking a significant power increase over the base model. This package adds a larger 63-millimeter twin-scroll turbocharger, a die-cast alloy radiator, a 3.55:1 Torsen limited-slip rear axle, larger front brake rotors with four-piston calipers, and a strut-tower brace. It also equips a thicker rear sway bar, package-specific chassis tuning, and active valve exhaust, transforming the entry-level fastback into an agile corner-carving machine with lower front-end kerb weight than its V8 siblings. For handling precision, Ford's MagneRide adaptive damping system continuously monitors road conditions and driver inputs up to 1,000 times per second. Using magnetorheological fluid inside the dampers, an electronic control unit adjusts damping forces instantly at each wheel based on sensors tracking wheel position and steering angle. MagneRide comes standard on the Mach 1 and is available on GT models equipped with the GT Performance Package, allowing the car to maintain smooth ride comfort over rough pavement while minimizing body roll during aggressive cornering. Enthusiasts testing a Mach 1 on our loop usually ask to feel the MagneRide suspension in Sport mode before we even pull back onto the main road. The difference in chassis control is immediate, as the magnetic fluid stiffens damping response without creating a harsh or brittle ride quality over highway expansion joints. How Does the 2023 S550 Mustang Compare to the Redesigned 2024 S650 and Chevy Camaro SS 1LE? Comparing the 2023 S550 Mustang to the seventh-generation 2024 S650 reveals two distinct design philosophies. The 2023 S550 features classic dual-cockpit dashboard architecture, physical climate switchgear, and traditional analog-style digital gauge displays, whereas the 2024 S650 transitions to a continuous glass panel housing a 12.4-inch instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch central touchscreen running SYNC 4. Buyers seeking tactile interior controls and timeless retro-inspired body lines often prefer the outgoing S550, while tech-focused buyers gravitate toward the S650's immersive glass cockpit. When pitted against its primary track-focused rival, the Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE, the 2023 Mustang Mach 1 holds its ground as a dominant circuit tool. While the Camaro SS 1LE relies on a 6.2-liter V8 making 455 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque with aggressive cornering grip, the Mach 1 counters with its higher-revving 5.0-liter engine output, superior high-speed airflow, and heavy-duty auxiliary cooling systems designed for sustained track sessions. On challenging road courses, the Mach 1 matches the Camaro's lap capability while offering a more spacious interior cabin with 45.1 inches of front legroom compared to 43.9 inches in the Camaro. The 2023 Mustang coupe also offers competitive utility for weekend getaways or track-day gear storage. Trunk capacity measures about 13.5 cubic feet in fastback models and about 11 cubic feet in convertible models, easily outclassing the Camaro coupe's about 9 cubic feet of cargo room. Combined with standard driver-assist tech like Ford Co-Pilot360 —which includes blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking—the S550 provides a practical balance of daily usability and track-ready performance. How Much Did the 2023 Ford Mustang Cost New, and What Is Its Current Used Market Value? Original factory pricing for the 2023 Ford Mustang varied by trim and configuration. The entry-level EcoBoost Coupe carried a 2023 Base MSRP of $27,770, while the EcoBoost Coupe Premium started at $32,795. Convertible variants began at $33,270 for the standard EcoBoost Convertible and $38,295 for the EcoBoost Premium Convertible. Stepping up to V8 power required a 2023 Base MSRP of $38,345 for the GT Coupe, $43,365 for the GT Coupe Premium, and $48,865 for the GT Convertible Premium, with a 2023 destination charge of $1,395. The top-tier Mach 1 had a 2023 Base MSRP of $55,570. Current pre-owned market values for the 2023 Mustang reflect strong value holding across all trim levels. Used market prices generally range from $22,000 for high-mileage EcoBoost models up to $49,900 for low-mileage Mach 1 examples in excellent condition. EcoBoost models represent an exceptional entry point for sports car buyers, offering 310 horsepower and modern amenities at a fraction of their original sticker price. If you are exploring vehicle options outside of pre-owned sports coupes, you can also view our new vehicle inventory to see the latest utility models on our lot. However, if your heart is set on pony car performance, taking time to check our pre-owned vehicle selection is the best way to find well-maintained 2023 Mustangs with documented service histories. Pricing Pricing by trim Trim Base MSRP Destination charge EcoBoost Convertible $33,270 $1,395 EcoBoost Coupe $27,770 $1,395 EcoBoost Coupe Premium $32,795 $1,395 EcoBoost Premium Convertible $38,295 $1,395 GT Convertible Premium $48,865 $1,395 GT Coupe $38,345 $1,395 GT Coupe Premium $43,365 $1,395 Mach 1 $55,570 $1,395 Does the 2023 Ford Mustang Retain Its Resale Value Well Over Time? Historically, the Ford Mustang retains resale value better than most sports cars in its segment, with V8-powered models like the GT and Mach 1 maintaining particularly strong demand in the pre-owned market. Market data shows the 2023 Mustang retains approximately 69 percent of its original private-party resale value after three years of ownership, outperforming key rivals. Enthusiast demand for final-model-year S550 chassis configurations—especially those equipped with a manual transmission and low overall mileage—helps insulate these cars against steep depreciation curves. Several factors contribute to this strong value retention: End-of-Generation Significance: As the final production year of the S550 chassis, 2023 models represent the ultimate refinement of sixth-generation mechanical and electrical systems. V8 Enthusiast Demand: Naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote engines continue to draw massive interest from performance buyers who value traditional high-revving muscle. Desirable Factory Packages: Rare paint options and high-spec option groups like the EcoBoost High Performance Package or MagneRide suspension help vehicles hold premium values. Drivers commuting across the open highways of Dickinson County appreciate knowing their investment is backed by long-term market popularity.

The 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine achieves the highest maximum conventional towing capacity in the F-150 lineup, topping out at an impressive 13,500 lbs when properly equipped with the Max Trailer Tow Package. While the 3.5L EcoBoost leads in absolute towing figures, alternative powertrains offer specialized advantages depending on your daily duty cycle: Engine Option Horsepower / Torque Max Towing Capacity Key Operational Advantage 3.5L EcoBoost V6 400 hp / 500 lb-ft 13,500 lbs Maximum trailering capacity for heavy loads 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 400 hp / 410 lb-ft 13,000 lbs Highest maximum payload capacity & classic exhaust 3.5L PowerBoost™ V6 Hybrid 430 hp / 570 lb-ft 12,700 lbs Massive low-end torque & standard Pro Power Onboard 2.7L EcoBoost V6 325 hp / 400 lb-ft 10,100 lbs Exceptional fuel efficiency for daily driving Which Pickup Truck Provides Greater Onboard Electrical Power Output? In the modern pickup truck landscape, electrical capability has become as important as raw mechanical horsepower. Ford revolutionary Pro Power Onboard system transforms the F-150 into a mobile generator, offering a strong alternative to many bed-mounted power outlets from other truck brands. Whether you are operating power tools at remote construction job sites around Junction City, powering camping equipment along Milford Lake, or securing emergency back-up household electricity during severe Kansas storms, Pro Power Onboard provides unmatched electrical independence. Pro Power Level Available Powertrain Voltage / Amperage Capabilities & Supported Equipment 2.0 kW Output Gas Engines (2.7L, 3.5L, 5.0L) 120V / 20A Outlets Powers air compressors, circular saws, electric grills, tailgating TVs 2.4 kW Output Standard on 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid 120V / 20A Outlets Runs heavy power tools, rotary hammers, mobile battery charging stations 7.2 kW Output Optional on 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid 120V & 240V / 30A Outlets Powers frame-welding rigs, plasma cutters, home appliances, RV power hookups Does Trading In a Car Reduce the Sales Tax on a New Car Purchase in Kansas? Yes! Kansas statute directly benefits vehicle buyers who trade in a vehicle: Under Kansas sales tax law (K.S.A. 79-3606), when you trade in a used vehicle toward the purchase of a new or used vehicle at a licensed dealer like Valor Ford, state and local sales tax is calculated ONLY on the net purchase price (the new vehicle price minus your trade-in allowance). Real-World Savings Example: If you purchase a new 2027 Ford Explorer priced at $45,000 and receive a $20,000 allowance for your trade-in vehicle, you only pay sales tax on the remaining $25,000 balance. At a combined state and local sales tax rate of approximately 9.75% in Junction City, this credit saves you nearly $1,950 in cash out-of-pocket tax savings compared to selling your car privately and buying without a trade-in credit. Get Your Instant Trade-In Evaluation Stackable Manufacturer and Dealer Incentives for Junction City Ford Shoppers Low-APR Ford Credit Rates: Take advantage of special OEM promotional financing terms, including current financing offers on select new model year trucks and SUVs, minimizing long-term interest costs. Military & Customer Cash: Active-duty, veteran, and retired military personnel at Fort Riley can combine Ford Military Recognition cash rebates with dealer trade assist bonuses to stack maximum total savings. Navigating Post-2025 Tax Credit Changes: Following changes to federal clean vehicle tax credits after 2025, Ford and Valor Ford have structured aggressive factory rebate programs and low-rate lease options across hybrid and electric vehicles to maintain exceptional value for local shoppers. How Time-Sensitive Is Selection During New Model Year Sales Events? During major seasonal and holiday shopping periods at Valor Ford, high-demand configurations experience rapid sales velocity. Popular trims like the F-150 Tremor, Ford Explorer ST, Bronco Badlands, and Maverick Hybrid often sell within days of hitting our transport lot. Because dealer allocation allotments depend on regional demand, waiting until late in an event window can limit your choice of exterior colors, axle ratios, or option packages. To secure your exact vehicle specifications without compromise, we recommend engaging with our inventory team prior to busy shopping weekends. Reserving incoming transit units allows you to lock in current pricing and financing offers while ensuring the exact vehicle built to your preferences is reserved directly in your name.
