The Ford Maverick is a compact truck for drivers who really want the capabilities afforded by a pickup but don’t want their gargantuan size. The small-but-mighty Maverick has entered its third year of existence, where a new trim has joined its ever expanding lineup. Let’s look at what the 2025 Ford Maverick can offer drivers.
Introducing the 2025 Ford Maverick: Compact Truck Revolution
Capable Engines Choices
The Maverick comes standard with a 2.5L hybrid engine that produces 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive is the standard setup, but this year, all-wheel drive is available with the hybrid engine. The new Lobo trim is the only model to come with a 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which delivers 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque, though it’s an available option in all other trims.
Just because the Maverick is small, doesn’t mean it isn’t capable of hauling some serious weight. With the available 4K Tow Package, you can pull a trailer, another vehicle, or a boat behind you weighing up to 4,000 pounds, and if you’ve got the hybrid engine, you can also be towed yourself.
Off-Road Options
The Tremor trim was designed specifically to cater to off-road enthusiasts. It has an off-road tuned suspension, higher ground clearance, and an electronic locking rear differential, so you can head out on the trails with confidence. You can also use Trail Control and Trail One-Pedal Drive to more easily maneuver over technical terrain.
Updated Interior
Spaciousness is a strong design principle that Ford built into the Maverick. The rear seats have generous legroom and contain hidden storage underneath them to hold gear without cluttering up the cabin. The redesigned doors feature large pockets that hold two 1.5L water bottles. Higher trims feature ActiveX-trimmed seats with heating functions and an available power moonroof.
Truck Bed Versatility
Accessing the Maverick’s 4.5-foot bed is easier than ever. The available Multi-Position tailgate can be locked while in a partially closed position to line up perfectly with the wheel wells, creating a flat surface that makes it easy to tie down long items. The FLEXBED Storage System enables several different configurations, so you can fit your gear in the bed the way you want it. XLT models and higher come with a hidden storage cubby in the bed sides.
Enhanced Technology
The 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen, new for 2025, is the largest-in-class standard display. It hosts Ford’s SYNC 4 software that provides hands-free connectivity to your phone through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An available wireless charging pad makes it easy to keep your phone fully charged, and an available 5G Wi-Fi hotspot keeps you connected, no matter where you go.
The Maverick offers pickup magic in the form of a vehicle that fits into a downtown parking space. Experience the versatility of this truck for yourself by stopping by Peppers Ford in McKenzie, TX and booking your test drive.
