Akron car buyers seeking a versatile and efficient pickup truck find compelling options in the Ford Maverick. The 2025 model year introduces exciting updates while retaining the key attributes that made the 2024 Ford Maverick a popular choice. Here is a closer look at what distinguishes the new model and what remains consistent.

What's New in the 2025 Ford Maverick

The 2025 Ford Maverick arrives with notable enhancements designed to broaden its appeal and functionality. Two new trim levels join the lineup, catering to different driver preferences. The Lobo trim emphasizes street performance, featuring a lowered suspension for improved handling and sport-tuned steering and brakes for a more engaging driving experience. Unique styling elements, including 19-inch rally-style wheels and a 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, further distinguish the Lobo. Conversely, the Tremor, previously an optional package, now stands as a dedicated trim focused on off-road prowess. This version includes an off-road suspension system to tackle uneven terrain, all-terrain tires for enhanced grip, protective skid plates, and a locking rear differential for improved traction in challenging conditions.

A significant upgrade for the 2025 model is the availability of all-wheel drive paired with the hybrid powertrain, a combination not offered in the 2024 Maverick. Inside, all 2025 Mavericks boast a standard larger 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen, a substantial increase from the 8-inch screen in the previous year. This new screen operates on the updated SYNC 4 infotainment system, providing a more modern and responsive user interface. Connectivity also sees an improvement with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto now standard across all trims. The exterior of the 2025 Maverick receives a refresh, featuring a redesigned grille and bumper, darker LED headlamps for a more assertive look, and new wheel designs across the various trim levels.

Interior aesthetics are enhanced in the 2025 Lariat trim, which showcases Smoke Truffle interior accents complemented by bronze detailing. The 2025 Maverick also incorporates a built-in 5G modem, enabling faster mapping, reliable Wi-Fi connectivity, and seamless over-the-air software updates. For those who tow, the Lariat and Tremor trims now come standard with Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist, simplifying the process of connecting and maneuvering trailers.

What's the Same or Similar

Despite the updates, the 2025 Ford Maverick retains several key features and characteristics from the 2024 model. The engine options remain the same, offering a choice between a 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain known for its efficiency and a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine providing more robust performance. The towing capacity also stays consistent, with both the 2024 and 2025 Mavericks capable of towing up to 4,000 pounds when properly equipped; importantly, the 2025 hybrid can now achieve this with the availability of all-wheel drive and the 4K Tow Package. The payload capacity remains around 1,500 pounds for both model years, ensuring the Maverick continues to be a practical choice for hauling.

The core interior dimensions and overall comfort levels are largely unchanged between the two model years, though the Lariat trim benefits from the new interior accents. Many of the standard and available safety features, including forward collision mitigation and lane-keeping assistance, are carried over from the 2024 model, maintaining the Maverick's focus on driver and passenger safety. The innovative FLEXBED storage system in the truck bed, a hallmark of the Maverick's design, remains a key feature in the 2025 model, offering versatile solutions for organizing and securing cargo.
