Are the 2025 Ford Mavericks out yet?
Yes, the 2025 Mavericks are out.
The 2025 Mavericks are out on dealership lots, and with them comes some new features, and even a new trim. Starting with the big change, the Lobo joins the pack. This addition to the lineup is aimed at being geared towards performance. It comes with a 238-hp engine, all-wheel driver, and a 7-speed automatic transmission. Coming with a lowered suspension, upgraded brakes, and unique styling elements including 19-inch wheels, rally-inspired wheels.
For the rest of the lineup, you can still find some new features. Thanks to a styling refresh, you can find new, darkened headlamp covers, a new front bumper and grille, as well as new wheel designs. On the inside, you can find a larger infotainment screen, this comes in at 13.2-inch, being larger than the 8.0-inch screen from the years prior.
Some new optional tech involves a 360-degree camera, and a feature that uses the rear camera to help guide you when hitching a trailer. If you're not too interested in optional features, Ford hears you, and they've added a ton of standard features this year. These new features are aimed at comfort, and safety. They are lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high-beam headlamps.
If you're a driver who enjoys the finer things in life, then the Lariat and Tremor may be more your speed. These now come with some new features, too. You can find a more advanced adaptive cruise control system that comes with lane-centering, and even speed-limit sign recognition.
While there's plenty of good, there's also some bad. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine now makes 238 horsepower, which is down from last year's 250. If you're wanting something new, sometimes you have to make a sacrifice.
How much is the 2025 Ford Maverick going to cost?
The 2025 Maverick starts at $26,995.
The 2025 Maverick comes in 5 trims levels, the trims and prices are:
- XL starting at $26,995
- XLT starting at $29,495
- Lobo starting at $35,255
- Lariat starting at $37,290
- Tremor starting at $40,350
The 2024 Maverick only comes in these 3 trims at these prices:
- XL starting at $23,930
- XLT starting at $26,420
- Lariat starting at $34,960
Despite having different prices, and an overhauled lineup, the XLT remains the recommended trim by Car and Driver. This is because the XLT “adds features such as 17-inch aluminum wheels, cruise control, a power lock for the tailgate, and power exterior mirrors, making it the value-oriented model.” If you're willing to spend a little more to upgrade the XLT, they note that the “hybrid powertrain is available with all-wheel drive, it's an even more compelling option.” If you're planning on towing, you should also consider the Tow package to “unlock the maximum Maverick towing capacity of 4000 pounds.”
How many miles per gallon does a 2025 Ford Maverick get?
The 2025 Maverick gets up to 42 mpg.
The new hybrid engine is making heads turn when it comes to efficiency. The EPA estimates that this 2.5L engine will get 42 mpg in the city, and 33 mpg on the highway. If you're not one who's too big into hybrid engines, and want a strictly gas powered engine, Ford has you covered. The 2.0L EcoBoost will get 23 city miles, and 30 highway miles.
The main difference for the 2024 Maverick is that it doesn't come with the hybrid engine, only with the 2.0L EcoBoost. Other than that, it still shares the same mileage as the engine didn't receive any work between the years.
