Exploring the Capability Features of the 2025 Ford Maverick

Award-Winning Compact Powerhouse
The 2025 Ford Maverick continues to redefine what it means to drive a compact pickup. Earning a coveted spot on Car and Driver’s 2025 10Best Trucks & SUVs list, the Maverick blends smart utility, efficient performance, and surprising versatility into one impressive package. Whether you’re looking for a capable work companion or a weekend adventurer, the Maverick’s features are designed to meet a wide range of needs.

Powertrain Choices Built for Versatility
The 2025 Ford Maverick offers two capable engine options to match your driving style. The standard 2.5-liter hybrid engine pairs with an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) to deliver 191 horsepower and 155 pounds-feet of torque. It's ideal for drivers who prioritize fuel efficiency and smooth everyday driving.
For those needing more punch under the hood, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine produces 250 horsepower and 275 pounds-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Maverick can be configured with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, offering flexibility no matter your environment.

Built for the Trail
When it comes to off-roading, the Maverick Tremor steps up. This trim includes an off-road-tuned suspension, increased ground clearance, and an electronic locking rear differential. It also features Ford Trail Control, which functions like cruise control for rough terrain, and Trail 1-Pedal Drive, allowing drivers to accelerate and brake with a single pedal for added control on steep inclines or rocky paths.
For XLT buyers, the available FX4 Off-Road Package delivers rugged enhancements, including skid plates, a performance suspension, and unique 17-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires—making it ready for wherever the trail leads.

Towing and Hauling Confidence
Despite its compact footprint, the Maverick delivers impressive towing and payload capabilities. When equipped with the available 4K Tow Package, the Maverick can tow up to 4,000 pounds. This package includes a class III trailer hitch with a 2-inch receiver, 4-pin and 7-pin connectors, an upgraded cooling fan, and a trailer brake controller. EcoBoost-equipped models also benefit from a high-capacity radiator for improved performance under load.
To simplify the towing experience, the Maverick offers advanced systems like Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, which uses the rear camera and corner radar to guide your truck into position for hitching. Visual guidelines appear on the available 13.2-inch center touchscreen to help ensure accurate alignment.
Additionally, Pro Trailer Backup Assist makes reversing with a trailer as simple as turning a knob. After inputting and calibrating a few trailer measurements, the system takes over the steering while you control the trailer’s direction with the knob.
Beyond towing, the Maverick is rated to carry up to 1,500 pounds of payload on select models—plenty for tools, gear, or even landscaping supplies.

Smart and Flexible Storage Solutions
Storage is one of the Maverick’s standout strengths, thanks to its FLEXBED system. Designed with versatility in mind, this system includes multiple tie-down points, slots for dividers, and a multi-position tailgate that can be locked in a half-closed position for longer items.
Higher trims offer additional in-bed cubbies and hidden compartments to keep tools and accessories secure. Inside the bed, drivers have up to 33.3 cubic feet of cargo volume to work with. The bed measures 54.4 inches long from cab wall to tailgate and 53.3 inches wide from sidewall to sidewall.

Functional Exterior Features
The Maverick’s exterior isn't just about looks—it’s packed with features that enhance everyday utility. Standard pre-wired 12-volt connections make it easy to install your own accessories, while an available 400-watt, 110-volt outlet supports power tools or tailgate gear. On higher trims like the Lariat, LED projector headlamps and LED accent lights add both style and visibility.
