Ford is making its smallest truck smarter to match the capability, spaciousness, and versatility that fleet and retail drivers alike have been drawn to. 

Better Handling and Towing Capacity

Handling challenging terrain and inclement weather gets easier for Maverick Hybrid customers with an all-wheel drive option new for 2025. The AWD hybrid model is available in the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims.

The hybrid all-wheel-drive model delivers traction over various road and trail conditions and in all types of weather, allowing for fleet drivers in off-road conditions to have easier handling. 

Customers who select the hybrid all-wheel drive model can tow watercraft and utility trailers thanks to the available 4K Tow Package. Maximum payload capacity checks in at 1,500 lbs. 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.

The bed, coupled with the multi-position tailgate, is large enough to fit up to 18 full sheets of half in. 4-by-8-ft. plywood.

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.

New Tech to Save Time and Promote Safety

Accessing power to plug in gear like air compressors and battery chargers for power tools is easy with the 110V/400W outlet in the bed; there is also one in the cab. Fleets can also add their own features like 12V outlets or lighting with pre-wired 12V connections.

A 110V/400W outlet is available in the bed.

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.

Fleet customers can more easily maneuver in urban environments with tight corners and small parking spaces with the 360-Degree Camera, new for 2025. It provides a split-view display of what’s directly in front of or behind the vehicle, along with cross-traffic views.

Available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist helps take the frustration out of hitching a trailer and eases the job for newer fleet drivers. 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, drivers can use Pro Trailer Backup Assist by turning a knob to indicate which direction the trailer should go while reversing into position.  Both Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist are new standard features on the Lariat and Tremor trims.

For 2025, every Maverick is equipped with standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane-Keeping Aid, a Rear View Camera and Auto LED High-Beam Headlamps. 


New this year, Lariat and Tremor are equipped with Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering, and Speed Sign Recognition.

A New Look, Inside and Out

Dark appearance LED headlamps, the front bumper, and the grille are all redesigned and standard for a fresh look.

Higher trims feature LED projector headlamps with LED signature accent lighting to set those vehicles apart with a more premium appearance. Grilles now vary across trim levels to give each its own unique appearance.

The Lariat trim has new 19-in. wheels.

Inside, the trim differentiation continues with new trim colors and materials across the door, instrument panel, console, and seats. The Aspen Gray/Navy Pier theme trim on XLT now comes with Grabber Blue accents. Lariat adds a Smoke Truffle theme with bronze accents.

Anew Black Package features its own unique grille, black roof, black Ford badges, and 19-in. gloss black wheels.

Starting MSRP for 2025 is $26,295, plus $1,595 for destination and delivery, for the standard hybrid front wheel drive model.

The new Maverick and Maverick Hybrid are available to order starting Aug. 1, with deliveries expected to begin in late 2024.
