New Maverick Trim Models
The 2024 and 2025 Mavericks have three trim models in common: the base XL, middle-of-the-road XLT, and stylish Lariat. As part of a major mid-cycle refresh, the 2025 Maverick adds two all-new options, the Lobo street truck and rugged Tremor.
2025 Ford Maverick Tremor
For 2025, the Maverick’s popular Tremor package becomes its own trim model. On a Ford, the Tremor name is synonymous with off-road capabilities, which is exactly what this compact truck delivers. Thanks to its off-road-tuned suspension, lockable rear differential, and trail-friendly tech features, the Tremor is an especially adventurous choice!
2025 Ford Maverick Lobo
The Lobo is the compact Maverick’s first-ever street truck, a model that combines low-riding style with performance upgrades. With its lowered suspension (0.5 inch front and 1.1 inch rear drops) and unique styling, the Maverick has never looked better. The Lobo comes standard with the 250-horsepower EcoBoost engine, along with an exclusive performance-tuned suspension, upgraded brakes, and sporty steering.
Tech Upgrades
The 2025 Maverick’s mid-cycle refresh also includes quite a few upgrades. These compact trucks now come standard with the newer SYNC 4 infotainment system, along with a 13.2-inch central touchscreen and the wireless versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto! The new Maverick also makes lane-keeping assistance available for the base XL. The Lariat and Tremor come standard with an advanced adaptive cruise control system with lane-centering and speed-sign recognition capabilities. A 360-degree camera is now optional.
Back on the 2024 Maverick, you’ll find the older, SYNC 3 infotainment system — though it’s only standard for the upscale Lariat trim. Every trim model gets an 8-inch touchscreen and the older, wired versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. Forward collision mitigation is standard, and the Lariat adds blind-spot monitoring, evasive steering assist, and adaptive cruise control.
Hybrid Efficiency: 2024 vs. 2025 Maverick
Since its debut, the Maverick has been incredibly popular — maybe a little too popular. In an attempt to catch up on backorders, Ford made the hybrid powertrain optional for the 2024 Maverick. But for 2025, the hybrid is once again standard equipment! Better still, it’s a little more efficient than last year, earning 38 mpg combined (42 city/35 highway). For previous Mavericks, hybrid mileage is 37 mpg combined (42 city/33 highway).
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
2024 Ford Maverick Powertrain Options
- Standard turbo 2.0L four-cylinder engine (250 hp, 277 lb-ft) and eight-speed automatic transmission
- Optional 2.5L hybrid inline four-cylinder engine (191 hp, 155 lb-ft) and continuously variable transmission
- Front-wheel drive
- Optional all-wheel drive (requires 2.0L engine)
Towing Capabilities
Unlike previous Maverick model years, the revised 2025 Ford Maverick makes the 4K Towing Package available for trucks equipped with the hybrid powertrain. And that means the Maverick XL, XLT, and Lariat can now tow up to 4,000 pounds, no matter what’s under the hood! Without the package (which isn’t available for the new Lobo or Tremor), the Maverick tows up to 2,000 pounds.
For Mavericks from 2024 and earlier, the 4K Towing Package was only available for trucks equipped with the 2.0-liter engine. But all trim models, no matter the powertrain, could haul payloads weighing up to 1,500 pounds.
Friendly Maverick Pricing
With all of its new features and upgrades, a little bit of a price hike was inevitable. The 2025 Ford Maverick starts at $26,995. Of course, if you’re bargain hunting, you might be lucky enough to find a leftover 2024 Ford Maverick at your local dealership. Last year’s truck started at $23,920.
