Ford has consistently seen high demand for the Maverick, its smallest pickup truck, which has been well-received since its launch in 2022. The automaker is responding to ongoing popularity by rolling out updates for the 2025 model, priced starting at $27,890, incorporating customer feedback to enhance an already favored vehicle.
While the 2025 Ford Maverick retains much of the design from its predecessor, it features enough changes to entice current owners towards early lease turn-ins. The new model sports sharper headlights in place of the previous blocky ones, a revamped grille offering a sleeker appearance, and a more visually engaging lower front fascia. Upgraded trim levels also benefit from new LED headlights and 19-inch wheel options, along with fresh color additions, including Velocity Blue and Eruption Green.
Customers will appreciate the significant interior improvements, particularly the introduction of a large 13.2-inch infotainment screen, touted by Ford as the biggest in its class. This new screen replaces an 8-inch display and an awkward nearby cubby that users found underutilized. The cubby has been eliminated, making way for Ford’s advanced Sync 4 system, now standard across all Mavericks, alongside a new digital gauge cluster that replaces traditional analog dials.
In response to consumer desires, Ford has also added features to the interior, such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as an optional 360-degree camera system and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, which includes Pro Trailer Backup Assist. These features are particularly useful for Maverick owners who may not be as accustomed to towing as users of larger Ford trucks. They come standard with the Lariat and Tremor trims, while all Mavericks include Ford’s Co-Pilot360 safety suite, featuring automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and automatic LED high beams. Higher trims benefit from adaptive cruise control, lane-centering technology, stop-and-go functionality, and speed-limit sign recognition.
A major enhancement that customers requested is the availability of all-wheel drive for the hybrid Maverick. The current model’s hybrid powertrain, which offers an impressive 42 mpg in the city, was previously limited to front-wheel drive. The new option allows customers to choose all-wheel drive with a city mileage of 40 mpg. Moreover, the hybrid option can now be equipped with the 4K Towing Package, increasing its towing capacity to 4,000 pounds thanks to an updated CVT.
The current Tremor Off-Road Package for the Ford Maverick is now offered as a standalone model, similar to its counterpart in the F-150 series. This model retains the old Tremor Package’s features—off-road suspension tuning, skid plates, an advanced 4WD system, a twin-clutch rear differential, and terrain-appropriate tires—while adding unique design elements.
Ford’s attentiveness to customer input demonstrates its commitment to improving a truck that is already a hit with buyers. The updated Maverick retains its strong selling points while addressing prior limitations. However, if Ford were to swap out the rotary shifter for a lever, customer satisfaction might reach even higher levels.
Orders for the 2025 Maverick will commence on August 1.
