The Ford Maverick has quickly become a popular choice for truck enthusiasts, especially those seeking a vehicle that packs a lot of capability in a compact package. The 2025 Ford Maverick does that, offering peppy performance and compact efficiency with a bold edge that separates it from other options in the small truck niche.
Multiple Drivetrains Available
Driving the Maverick is a pleasure thanks to its two efficient but powerful engine options. For those who want a gasoline-only powerplant, there’s a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbocharged I-4 engine with direct fuel injection that generates 250 horsepower and is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The standard engine is a 2.5-liter hybrid 4-cylinder assisted by an electric motor with a Continuously Variable Transmission that delivers 191 horsepower.
The Maverick also offers multiple drivetrain options to suit your needs. For maximum efficiency and street performance, there is a standard FWD drivetrain available in models with the hybrid engine. However, for those who want additional handling or off-road capability, AWD is available with either engine option, and Ford’s Advanced 4WD is available in the Lobo and Tremor trim levels.
Performance and Efficiency
The Maverick also offers the practical utility of larger pickup trucks but with improved efficiency. With the hybrid engine and FWD, the Maverick gets an EPA estimated 42 MPG in the city and 35 on the highway, and with AWD, mileage is rated at 40 on the highway and 34 in the city. With the EcoBoost engine and AWD drivetrain, the Maverick gets 30 MPG on the highway and 22 in the city.
Drivers don’t sacrifice capability for that efficiency, however, as the Maverick boasts a standard payload capacity of 1500 pounds, and up to 2,000 pounds of towing ability. With the available Tow package, the Maverick can double that capacity to 4,000 pounds. The Tow package also includes helpful features like a Class III trailer hitch, a transmission oil cooler, upgraded cooling fan, trailer brake controller, a higher capacity radiator, and lower axle gear ratios.
Compact, Comfortable Cabin
Though the Maverick is considered a compact truck, every model has a crew cab, so the interior capacity can comfortably accommodate 5 adults across two rows of seating. The standard front seats are adjustable and have lumbar support, though power-adjustable seats are available on higher trim levels. There’s even rear underseat storage to help maximize every cubic inch of cabin volume.
The cabin is also loaded with infotainment and convenience features, such as the SYNC 4 system with a 13.2-inch color LCD capacitive touchscreen with swipe capability, a 6-speaker audio system, Bluetooth connectivity, and an 8-inch productivity screen in the instrument cluster.
