Picture a compact truck that comfortably handles daily errands, tough weekend projects, and spontaneous getaways—without the bulk or cost of a full-size pickup. That’s the appeal of the 2025 Ford Maverick. It’s easy to live with, fuel efficient, and packed with smart features. Whether you’re navigating tight city streets or heading up to the lake, the Maverick is designed to go with the flow of your life, while offering enough utility to surprise you.

The 2025 Maverick returns with a bolder design. The updated front end features a new grille, clean hood lines, and distinctive “7”-shaped LED signature lighting that gives the truck a sharper presence on the road. Even at a glance, it looks modern and athletic—especially in new trims like Lobo and Tremor, which add exclusive styling, unique wheels, and available colour-accented grilles. Its compact size is perfect for those who want pickup capability without dealing with oversized proportions or struggling to fit into a parking space.

Under the hood, the Maverick offers two well-matched powertrains. The standard hybrid system pairs a 2.5-litre Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine with an electric motor to produce 191 horsepower. It uses an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT) for smooth, quiet performance and returns remarkable efficiency—fuel ratings as low as 5.6 L/100 km in the city. For 2025, the hybrid is now available with all-wheel drive, a major enhancement that expands its appeal to drivers who need better traction in slippery conditions. If you need more power or towing capability, the 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine steps in with 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD. With the right equipment, this version can tow up to 4,000 pounds—plenty for small trailers, ATVs, or a couple of dirt bikes. Even the hybrid is rated to tow 2,000 pounds when equipped with AWD.

Step inside the cabin and you’ll find a well-organized, highly functional space. The materials feel durable yet modern, and there’s clever storage throughout—from deep door pockets to a two-tier console and rear under-seat bins. The centrepiece is a new 13.2-inch touchscreen that supports SYNC 4, complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also get an 8-inch digital instrument panel, a wireless phone charger, and a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot standard on most trims. Higher trims like Lariat offer heated front seats with premium ActiveX upholstery, a power driver’s seat, dual-zone climate control, and a Bang & Olufsen audio system for a more upscale feel. The rear bench folds flat to expand storage, while the four-door SuperCrew layout ensures the back seat is roomy enough for friends, kids, or gear.

Out back, the Maverick’s bed is short but smart. The 4.5-foot FlexBed includes built-in tie-downs, optional cargo cubbies, 12-volt power outlets, and even pre-wired connections for DIY add-ons. You can slide in bikes, load up garden supplies, or haul home improvement materials with ease. If you’re the weekend warrior type, available packages like Tremor add off-road-ready suspension, all-terrain tires, and trail drive modes that adjust throttle response and traction settings for uneven ground. The Maverick doesn’t just look like it’s up for an adventure—it is.

Safety and driver confidence are key areas where Ford delivers big in a small package. Every Maverick comes with Ford Co-Pilot360, which includes automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. Available features like adaptive cruise control, rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera make life easier in busy traffic and tight parking lots. The unibody frame, shared with the Escape and Bronco Sport, provides a car-like ride that’s more refined than you might expect from a pickup—great for long drives or daily commuting.

What makes the 2025 Maverick so compelling is that it manages to be many things at once. It’s practical yet stylish. Affordable yet advanced. Small on the outside, yet surprisingly capable when the work begins. Whether you’re commuting to the office, tackling projects around the house, or loading up for a weekend escape, the Maverick does it all without feeling like you’ve overcommitted to a full-size truck lifestyle. You can opt for a hybrid that saves fuel and cuts running costs, or go with the EcoBoost for extra towing strength and performance. Either way, you get a flexible, well-rounded pickup that fits into modern life without fuss.
