Maverick Performance Features and Capabilities
The 2025 Maverick offers several selectable drive modes to enhance its performance on various terrains, including Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Tow/Haul. For off-road adventures, the available FX4 Off-Road Package includes specialized suspension tuning, skid plates, and hill-descent control for optimal performance on rugged terrain. The TREMOR trim features specialized off-road suspension and advanced all-wheel drive with twin-clutch rear drive units for improved traction.
The 2025 Ford Maverick towing capacity is ideal for hauling heavy loads, with the base level offering a 1,500-pound payload capacity. By adding on the optional Tow Package, both the hybrid and EcoBoost engines can tow up to 4,000 pounds. The Lobo trim adds a unique sport-tuned suspension that improves rear-wheel bias and offers a thrilling experience behind the wheel.
Ford Maverick Fuel Efficiency and Environmental Impact
The standard 2.5-liter hybrid engine offers an EPA-estimated 42 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway, making it one of the most fuel-efficient trucks available on the market. If you want the capability of all-wheel drive without sacrificing fuel economy, the hybrid all-wheel-drive configuration maintains a commendable rating of 40 mpg in the city.
While not as fuel-efficient as the hybrid, the EcoBoost engine still delivers respectable fuel efficiency, achieving an EPA-estimated 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. This makes it a strong choice if you need more power without the high fuel costs typically associated with larger trucks. Both engines are equipped with auto start-stop technology to further reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
Technology Enhancing Performance
The Maverick’s standard SYNC 4 system, now displayed on a larger 13.2-inch touch screen, includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, giving you hands-free access to maps, music, and more. For added convenience, the Maverick’s new 5G modem enables faster software updates and improved connectivity.
For extra assistance with towing and maneuvering, the available 360-degree camera provides a comprehensive view around the vehicle, making it easier to hitch trailers and navigate tight spaces. The Pro Trailer Backup Assist feature, available on higher trims, allows you to steer your trailer into place with the turn of a knob, eliminating the guesswork of backing up.
Ford Maverick Transmission and Drivetrain
The 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain is paired with an advanced continuously variable transmission that provides smooth, efficient power. If you need more power, you can opt for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, which is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available on both powertrains, enhancing traction and stability in challenging driving conditions. For a sportier, more engaging driving experience, the Lobo trim comes with a seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, borrowed from Ford’s European performance lineup.
Off-Road Performance and Capabilities
The TREMOR trim features a raised suspension, improved approach and departure angles, and a twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system that can send torque to a single rear wheel to prevent slippage. It also comes with five unique drive modes, including Mud/Rut and Rock Crawl, enhancing its capability on even the toughest trails.
The Maverick also offers an available FX4 Off-Road Package for the XLT and LARIAT trims, which includes all-terrain tires, skid plates, and off-road-tuned shocks. These enhancements make the Maverick a capable companion for light trail runs and backcountry adventures. With up to 8.6 inches of ground clearance, the Maverick TREMOR is ready to tackle rough terrain while still maintaining a smooth ride on paved roads, giving you the best of both worlds.
