2025 Ford Maverick

The Maverick, based on the Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs, was the first-ever pickup truck to come standard as a hybrid. The base powertrain is a 191-hp, 2.5-liter hybrid four-cylinder linked to a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive. The non-hybrid version uses a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with an eight-speed automatic and 4,000-pound tow capacity. It is available in front- and all-wheel drive. This small crew cab pickup has just a 4.5-foot bed. Three trims, plus an off-road package, allow this truck to span from thrifty, basic truck to a powerful, well-equipped model. The Maverick comes standard with FCW and AEB. BSW, RCTW, and other systems are available. A 2025 refresh brought a larger center screen and updated infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The climate controls were moved into the touch screen. A ll Maverick models received refreshed styling, with updated headlamps and a redesigned front bumper and grille. All-wheel-drive became standard on the non-hybrid models. The optional Tremor off-road package began being offered as a standalone trim, while a new, performance oriented Lobo trim was added, bringing the total number of non-hybrid trims offered to five. LDW and LKA became standard.

Brand context

About Ford

<p>Ford shifted away from cars this decade, focusing on SUVs and pickup trucks, with the Mustang as the lone exception. Fords are seldom leaders in their segments based on CR’s tests and surveys, but the small Maverick and full-sized F-150 trucks are notable standouts. Some other models score well enough to earn our recommendation, such as the Escape Hybrid and Bronco Sport. The Mustang Mach-E EV is Ford's highest-scoring current model. Overall, Ford's new car reliability is above average, but it varies, so used-car buyers should be mindful to check our ratings. </p><p><br/></p>
