If you’re shopping for a new Ford truck around Phoenixville or Chester County, the question isn’t just ‘Maverick or F-150?’ — it’s ‘Which truck fits your lifestyle and budget, and where should you get it?’ At John Kennedy Ford Phoenixville, we carry both the 2025 Maverick and F-150, and our team helps drivers like you decide confidently. Read on to see how the compact-versatile Maverick compares with the full-size powerhouse F-150 — and which one might make more sense for your daily drive, weekend adventures, or hauling needs.
Size and Dimensions
These two pickups vary in size significantly. Expected to release in late 2024 to early 2025, the new Ford Maverick will feature a four-door Crew cab design throughout its lineup, seating five people across two rows.
Measuring 4.5 feet in length, the cargo bed is big enough to handle sheets of plywood and boxes for moving house, but you may want to look to one of Ford’s larger trucks if you need to carry bulkier cargo. The Maverick also boasts a wheelbase of around 121 inches and is 199.7 inches in length, making it a great choice if you want a truck but don’t have a lot of parking space to work with.
The 2025 Ford F-150 offers a broader range of configuration options and is a much larger vehicle. You can opt for the Regular cab with a single row of seats, the Super Cab with a modest amount of second-row legroom, or the SuperCrew style for spacious seating across both rows. If you need lots of room in the back, you’ll probably want the SuperCrew version.
There are also three bed lengths available: 8 feet, 6.5 feet, and 5.5 feet. To accommodate its vast interior, the F-150 can be up to 243.9 inches in length with a 157.2-inch wheelbase.

Ford Truck Powertrain Options and Performance
The F-150 offers various engine options to suit your needs. If you mainly focus on day-to-day driving with only a bit of towing and hauling, the base 2.7L V-6 engine with an output of 325 horsepower could do the job for you. The larger 3.5L 400-horsepower V-6 and High-Output 450-horsepower V-6 engines are other good options. You can also choose between two bigger V-8 engines, including one with a maximum output of 720 horsepower. Finally, you could consider the hybrid powertrain, which consists of a turbocharged V-6 and a battery pack that combine to churn out 430 horsepower.
There are two options on offer in the Maverick, one being a standard gas-powered engine while the other is a hybrid unit. The gas-powered option is a four-cylinder engine capable of putting out 238 horsepower. Output drops slightly to 191 horsepower with the hybrid option, but you’ll see an improvement in fuel economy that can help you keep prices down at the pump. Since the Maverick is a smaller truck, these powertrains possess more than adequate power to shift this compact pickup around town or up to highway speeds.
Both trucks offer good towing performance. The Maverick can tow a substantial 4,000 pounds when properly equipped, a great achievement for a compact truck. That’s enough for a pop-up camper, small boat, or a full utility trailer. For heavy-duty towing needs, the F-150 gets the job done with up to 13,500 pounds of towing capacity.

Ford Truck Interior Features and Comfort
You can keep the Maverick’s cabin simple if you’re looking for a good value purchase or opt for a higher trim or additional packages to add some creature comforts. Add-ons on offer include dual-zone climate control and power-adjustable front seats. All Mavericks showcase a mammoth 13.2-inch touch screen for accessing your favorite infotainment features, and you can easily link your phone with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Optional upgrades include a premium 12-speaker stereo and wireless device charging.
The F-150 can be built to fit just about any requirement, from a stripped-down work truck with a vinyl floor and durable cloth seats to a luxury cabin for family outings with premium leather seats and air conditioning. Depending on your passenger requirements, you can choose between captain’s chairs or a bench seat up front.
Versatility and Practicality
Both trucks are extremely versatile and practical in their own way. If you don’t need to tackle the heaviest towing or hauling jobs, you’ll be more than happy with the practicality of the Maverick. While both powertrains ensure excellent on-road handling, the Maverick’s compact dimensions make parking and maneuvering on busy streets a breeze. The cargo bed and generous storage space under the rear seats mean you have plenty of room for all your cargo. The F-150 offers more configuration options, allowing you to build a truck that meets your needs.

Ford Truck Off-Road Capabilities
The F-150 has a clear edge when it comes to off-roading, thanks to a higher ground clearance and optional off-roading features. These include four-wheel drive, skid plates, multi-terrain drive modes, and a tuned-up suspension. On the other hand, while the Maverick can handle a light trail with its optional all-wheel-drive system, off-roading isn’t really its focus.
Fuel Efficiency and Environmental Impact
The Maverick offers better gas mileage, so it’s a good choice if you want to save money and can do without the F-150’s additional capabilities. The hybrid powertrain in the Maverick gets up to 42 mpg on the highway and 33 mpg on city roads. By contrast, the F-150’s hybrid powertrain achieves up to 25 mpg combined.
