This year, the Maverick lineup welcomes the performance-focused Lobo trim. It features a 250-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive, and a seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The Lobo is equipped with a lowered suspension, upgraded brakes, and distinct styling elements, including 19-inch rally-inspired wheels.
For 2025, the rest of the Maverick lineup undergoes a styling refresh, incorporating darkened headlamp covers, a redesigned front bumper and grille, and new wheel designs. The interior enhancements include new trim color options, such as the available Smoke Truffle theme on the Lariat trim, which boasts bronze-colored accents. A larger 13.2-inch infotainment display is introduced, replacing last year’s 8.0-inch screen, and now supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The hybrid powertrain now offers all-wheel drive and can tow up to 4000 pounds with the Towing package. A 360-degree camera and a feature that assists with trailer hitching using the rear camera system are newly available.
Ford has also expanded the standard driver-assistance tech, adding lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high-beam headlamps. The Lariat and Tremor models feature a more advanced adaptive cruise control system that includes lane-centering and speed-limit sign recognition.
Interior
The Maverick comes exclusively as a crew cab, featuring four doors and a rear seat that offers sufficient but not ample space. Ford has cleverly included numerous storage compartments and bins throughout the interior, with sizable storage areas located under the rear seats. While the base models are not luxurious, they do come with standard amenities such as a tilting and telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, remote keyless entry, and adjustable lumbar support for the front seats. The XLT and Lariat trims provide additional features, either as standard or through optional packages, such as dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient interior lighting, and power-adjustable front seats. According to Ford, the Maverick’s 4.5-foot bed is capable of accommodating up to 18 sheets of four-by-eight-foot three-quarter-inch plywood without the need to angle them. The bed also includes a 12-volt power outlet, with an optional 110-volt outlet available.
Performance
The Maverick’s standard engine is a hybrid powertrain that combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, delivering a total of 191 horsepower. This setup is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). For those seeking more power, there’s an optional 250-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive comes standard with the turbocharged four-cylinder engine and is available as an option for the hybrid, which has front-wheel drive as its default configuration. The Maverick’s suspension is designed to support its impressive payload capacity, resulting in a relatively firm ride, particularly noticeable on uneven surfaces. When driving the 2025 Maverick, you’ll find that the hybrid model maintains its previous driving characteristics, while the Lobo offers a more spirited handling experience, cornering impressively for a truck.
Towing
Enhance your towing capabilities to haul up to 4,000 pounds with the optional 4K Tow Package. This package comes with additional features such as a Class III 2-inch receiver trailer hitch, 4-pin and 7-pin connectors, a trailer brake controller, an upgraded cooling fan, and, for models equipped with EcoBoost, a higher capacity radiator.
The innovative Pro Trailer Hitch Assist system utilizes the rear camera and corner radar to assist in aligning your truck for hitching. The 13.2-inch center touchscreen displays guidelines to aid in this process.
Pro Trailer Backup Assist simplifies reversing by allowing you to control the direction of the trailer with a knob. After entering a few measurements and calibrating the trailer, just turn the knob in your desired direction, and the system will manage the steering wheel for you.
