Since its debut in 2021, the Ford Maverick has gained in popularity and auto manufacturer has listened to customer feedback, and responded. Now for 2025, the Maverick Hybrid offers an all-wheel drive option with more towing capacity.

Ford said it is making its smallest compact truck smarter to match the capability, spaciousness, and versatility that made Maverick the surprise hit of the decade so far. It still has the lowest starting price of any midsize pickup in America, Ford said.

The Ford Maverick’s notable achievements include:

• It is the top selling hybrid pickup in America.

• It is number one in loyalty among customers in the midsize truck segment.

• It ranks first in loyalty of any Ford nameplate in production.

Towing Capabilities for the Maverick Hybrid

Handling challenging terrain and inclement weather gets easier for Ford Maverick Hybrid customers with an all-wheel drive option new for 2025 that now has an optional package doubling towing capacity. Ford said the top request from Maverick owners was for an all-wheel drive version.

The all-wheel drive will be available on XL, XLT, and Lariat trims.

The 2.5-liter Ford Maverick Hybrid features:

• 2,000-pound towing standard

• 4,000-pound towing with the 4K towing package

• 191 horsepower at 5,600 rpm

• 155 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm

• PowerSplilt electronic continuously variable transmission

The 2.0-liter AWD Ecoboost Ford Maverick offers the same towing capacities of 2,000 and 4,000 pounds, but with a higher torque and more horsepower.

2025 Ford Maverick Maximum Payload

Maximum payload capacity is 1,500 pounds and the Maverick Flexbed helps customers better organize their payload. Pockets molded into the sidewalls allow cut pieces of 2x4 to section off the bed to help prevent cargo and gear from sliding around.

Dividers in the top pockets create two-tier loading, great for bags of mulch on the bottom and landscape timbers on top. Plus, the bed, coupled with the multi-position tailgate, is large enough to fit up to 18 full sheets of half inch 4-by-8-foot plywood. There is a 110V/400W outlet in the bed, plus another one in the cab.

The multi-position tailgate can also be positioned flat to haul long cargo such 2x4s or a couch or secured in the middle position to carry a mountain bike with a place to rest the rear wheel, with a bed extender available through Ford Accessories for greater cargo security.

2025 Ford Maverick Gets Larger Touchscreen

Maverick customers can leave their smartphone cords at home thanks to new wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto cast on a larger, 13.2-inch touchscreen. Drivers can stay connected and informed through SYNC 4 with enhanced voice recognition and connected navigation. A new built-in 5G modem gives Maverick the latest wireless tech and allows Maverick to receive software updates to keep vehicle systems up to date.

Customers use Maverick in urban environments with tight corners and small parking spaces. Maneuvering is straightforward with the 360-degree camera, new for 2025 and a customer favorite first developed for F-Series. It provides a split-view display of what’s directly in front of or behind the vehicle, along with cross-traffic views.

The Maverick Hybrid has a targeted EPA-estimated 42 miles per gallon in the city with the standard hybrid front-wheel drive model, and a targeted EPA-estimated 40 miles per gallon in the city with the hybrid all-wheel drive model.

Available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist

Available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist helps take the frustration out of hitching a trailer. It works by using the rear camera and corner radars to align the hitch with the trailer coupler while simultaneously controlling the truck’s speed, steering, and braking to stop at just the right place.

Once hitched, Pro Trailer Backup Assist makes backing up a trailer as easy as turning a knob to indicate which direction the trailer should go while reversing into position.
