The 2025 Ford Maverick can be a good overall value, so long as you don’t go too crazy with options. We give it points for standard equipment, a big touchscreen, and myriad configurations, bringing it to an 8 for features.
True, the Maverick is no longer the bargain it once was. It starts at $27,990, and it’s not hard to punch your way past $30,000.
The base Maverick XL now comes standard with the hybrid powertrain, plus 17-inch steel wheels, cloth seats with manual adjustment up front, a 13.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and cruise control. It’s definitely not lavish, though you can add blind-spot monitors, rear parking sensors, and, to all-wheel-drive models, a tow package that ups the ante to 4,000 pounds. It’s also available with all-wheel drive and the turbo engine.
All Mavericks are backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty, but Ford doesn’t include any free servicing.
Which Ford Maverick should I buy?
The step-up $30,490 XLT has features like 17-inch alloy wheels, a power tailgate lock, upgraded cloth upholstery, and a proximity key. It’s also the gateway point to heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, the FX4 off-road package with skid plates and chunky tires, and a few other niceties.
The $36,695 Lobo builds on the XLT with a lowered suspension, 19-inch wheels, and numerous styling features. The Lobo is the least-expensive Maverick with available adaptive cruise control, though it’s bundled with a step-up trim level that includes a ton of features like heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an eight-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system.
How much is a fully loaded Ford Maverick?
That depends on what you’re after—the luxurious (ish) $38,730 Lariat or the capable (ish) $41,790 Tremor.
The all-wheel drive-only Lariat has synthetic leather seats, 19-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, premium sound, a surround-view camera system, adaptive cruise control, and a bunch of other niceties. Even then, Ford offers a tow package, a blacked-out design package, and a few other items.
The Tremor starts with the Lariat and adds off-road pieces like skid plates, 17-inch wheels wearing all-terrain tires, and a locking rear differential. It comes only with the turbo-4 and it’s only available with a few options, including a sunroof.
