- With tech updates and a longer list of standard features, the new Maverick is smarter than ever.
- In addition to their towing upgrades and newly available all-wheel drive, hybrid Mavericks are even thrifter than before!
- The price of a 2025 Maverick (from $26,995) has gone up since the 2024 Maverick (starting at $23,920) debuted. However, this compact truck remains a very affordable option!
There are two all-new Maverick trim models for 2025 — the rugged Tremor and ultra-stylish Lobo. Last year, drivers could add the off-road-ready Tremor package to their truck for a rugged performance. This year, they can order an off-road-ready trim model! The Maverick Tremor is ready for action, featuring advanced four-wheel drive, an off-road-tuned suspension, Trail Control with Trail 1-Pedal Drive, and more.
Then there’s the Maverick Lobo, a lowered street truck with unique styling and performance upgrades, including a quick-shifting transmission, Lobo drive mode, and sport-tuned suspension! Just like the 2024 Ford Maverick, the updated truck is also available as the XL, XLT, and Lariat trim models. The new Maverick XL still comes at a great price, but it also delivers a longer list of tech features than before. The mid-level XLT adds extra convenience, and the Lariat is the most luxurious option.
Updated Tech Features
Thanks to its mid-cycle refresh, the 2025 Maverick has become a rolling command center. All five trim models feature the SYNC 4 infotainment system, as well as a new 13.2-inch central touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of safety aids is also standard, outfitting every Maverick with lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, a rearview camera, and automatic LED headlamps. For even more technology, check out the Maverick Lariat, which adds a premium sound system, adaptive cruise control, wireless charging pad, and more!
By comparison, the 2024 Maverick doesn’t come standard with nearly as many tech features. Although these trucks include an 8-inch central touchscreen and the wired versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the SYNC 3 infotainment system is only standard on the top-tier Lariat trim model. Forward collision mitigation is standard, but only the Lariat comes standard with other safety aids, such as blind-spot monitoring or adaptive cruise control.
EPA Ratings: 2024 vs. 2025 Ford Maverick
Somehow, Ford has made the 2025 Maverick’s hybrid powertrain even thriftier than before. With front-wheel drive, EPA ratings reach 38 mpg combined (42 city/35 highway). And that’s not even the most exciting update! For the first time, the hybrid Maverick trucks are available with all-wheel drive and the 4K Towing package. Whether you want to explore off-road terrain or tow up to 4,000 pounds, you can now do so with maximum efficiency!
2025 Ford Maverick Powertrain Options
- Standard 2.5L hybrid inline four-cylinder engine (191 hp, 155 lb-ft) and continuously variable transmission
- Optional 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine (250 hp, 280 lb-ft) and eight-speed automatic transmission
- Front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive
For 2024, Ford made the Maverick’s 250-horsepower EcoBoost engine standard equipment, and the hybrid powertrain briefly became a $1,500 add-on. With this thrifty optional engine, the 2024 Maverick earns up to 37 mpg combined (42 city/33 highway). Trucks equipped with the standard 2.0-liter engine are available with all-wheel drive and the 4K Towing package, which boosts the Maverick’s tow rating from 2,000 pounds to 4,000 pounds.
2024 Ford Maverick Powertrain Options
- Standard turbo 2.0L four-cylinder engine (250 hp, 277 lb-ft) and eight-speed automatic transmission

Budget-Friendly Pricing
