The Ford Maverick stands out from its competitors as a compact truck with impressive utility, and the 2025 model takes this appeal to new heights. With updates in performance, technology, and design, the latest Maverick solidifies its place as a leading choice for drivers seeking a small truck that delivers big on features. Here’s a closer look at what makes the 2025 Ford Maverick so appealing.
At Mike White Ford in North Idaho, we’ve seen firsthand what makes the Maverick so attractive. For one thing, pickups are always desirable for people who ever need to haul anything, whether helping a friend move or getting soil for the vegetable garden. But not everyone needs a full-size pickup all the time. The Maverick is a five-seater with all the creature comforts of a sedan, yet with the ability to do the job of the occasional pickup – all without a hefty pickup truck price tag. Here are some outstanding features that make the Ford Maverick a standout vehicle.
A Powertrain for Every Driver
The 2025 Maverick offers two distinct powertrain options. The standard 2.5-liter hybrid engine provides a balanced output of 191 horsepower and achieves an estimated 40 MPG in city driving — a remarkable figure for a pickup. The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine delivers 238 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque for those looking for more power. This engine has an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the sporty Lobo trim offers a unique seven-speed gearbox for enhanced performance. The hybrid powertrain now comes with an all-wheel-drive option for the first time, adding versatility to handle Idaho’s snowy roads and rugged terrains effortlessly.
Enhanced Towing and Cargo Features
Compact but mighty, the Maverick is built for work and play. The available 4K Tow Package can tow up to 4,000 pounds, making it an ideal choice for pulling small campers, boats, or ATV trailers. Its innovative FLEXBED™ system is designed with DIY enthusiasts in mind, offering customizable solutions for storage and organization. From built-in tie-downs and under-bed cubbies to slots for partitions and bike racks, the Maverick’s bed is a marvel of functionality for those seeking outdoor adventures.
Tech-Savvy Interior
Inside, the Maverick combines practicality with premium technology. The 2025 model now features a 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen as standard across all trims, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 5G modem ensures seamless connectivity, supporting over-the-air updates and enabling Wi-Fi for up to 10 devices. The cabin is thoughtfully designed, with abundant storage options and seating for five. Rear seats fold to reveal additional hidden storage, while materials and design accents vary across trims for added personality. Overall, this comfortable and family-friendly interior belies the fact that this is a pickup on the outside.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
Safety remains a priority at Ford, and the Maverick is no exception with Ford’s Co-Pilot360™ suite of features at hand. Standard offerings include automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and a rearview camera. Higher trims add advanced features like Ford’s adaptive cruise control, 360-degree camera, and reverse brake assist. These technologies provide peace of mind whether you’re navigating busy streets or exploring remote trails.
Stylish Design Updates
Ford has refreshed the Maverick’s look for 2025, introducing new grille designs, updated LED headlights, and fresh wheel options. Trim-specific touches, such as Grabber Blue accents on the XLT or bronze details in the Lariat’s Smoke Truffle interior, allow drivers to tailor their truck’s appearance to their tastes. The Maverick’s bold yet approachable design makes it a head-turner in both urban and rural settings.
