- The Maverick is very affordable for buyers on a budget—just $26,295 for its XL (Base) trim!

What Should You Expect for the 2025 Ford Maverick?
The biggest change for the Mav is in its lineup—the performance-oriented Lobo trim is a new addition set to make its grand entrance in the next few months.
In the meantime the XL, XLT, Lariat, and Tremor trims will see some changes in a style refresh to the front bumper, grille and wheel designs. There’s a 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen system that replaces the 8.0-inch screen of 2024. New colors, up-to-date towing tech, and built-in 5G modem are also in play for the new year.
Does the 2025 Ford Maverick Still Offer a Hybrid Option?
The Mav retains its pert 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. It’s paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and generates 238-horses. Also available is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine supported by an electric motor paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission. It's less powerful, but the extra mileage and money you save on fuel will make up for that. All trims are front-wheel drive, with the option of all-wheel drive.
The truck has a 2,000 pound maximum towing capacity (the newly available tow package doubles that number) and a 1,500 pound payload capacity.
Is the 2025 Ford Maverick Large For a Compact Truck?
Mav trims feature four-door crew cabs and are very spacious for small trucks. The 2025 model’s cubbies and bins are just about everywhere, making storage ample for all occupants.
Lower trims are more practical than elegant, but the design is clean and comfortable, no matter the trim. It features a tilting and telescoping steering wheel and front seats with lumbar support, so comfort is easily and immediately attainable. Higher trims have more features, including ambient interior lighting, automatic dual-zone climate control, and power front seats.
The Maverick’s infotainment system has everything you need for communication and entertainment, such as:
- A 13.2-inch touchscreen featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- A wi-fi hotspot
- Optional SiriusXM satellite radio
- Optional Bang & Olufsen stereo system
Hauling cargo has been made even easier, thanks to the Mav’s 4.5-foot bed with 10V/400W outlet—there’s an optional 12V outlet with pre-wired connections available should you need more juice.
