Used 2025 Ford Maverick for Sale nearMyrtle Beach, SC

How much does the 2025 Ford Maverick cost?

Prices have softened 4.49% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,809 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing prices and trims.

Is the 2025 Ford Maverick a good car?

Generally — the 2025 Ford Maverick earns a 4.4/5 user rating and a 7.8/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, Form and function, and Technology.

Owners consistently praise its practicality, comfortable seating, and good fuel economy, especially with the hybrid powertrain. They also like the spacious interior and modern features, which line up with the Maverick’s approachable compact-truck packaging and everyday usability. On the downside, the expert review notes that the Maverick’s value story is weaker than before because prices have risen, and the cabin’s touchscreen-heavy controls can be frustrating.

The Maverick still makes sense if you want pickup usefulness in a compact, easy-to-live-with package rather than a traditional full-size truck. 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2025 Ford Maverick reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction. User feedback points to a practical, comfortable, and fuel-efficient truck that many owners feel good about living with over time, and the hybrid setup is a recurring strength in that feedback.

The expert review also describes the Maverick hybrid as a great daily driver with a passenger-car-like ride and well-sorted handling, which supports the idea that it should be easy to count on for regular use. Ford’s warranty coverage includes hybrid-component protection for eight years or 100,000 miles, which adds some reassurance for used buyers.

For used shoppers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the truck’s rising prices and touchscreen-heavy controls may make it feel less compelling than its reputation suggests, so condition and equipment matter a lot.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Ford Maverick?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and verify that the truck’s equipment matches the trim you want, especially because some desirable features are not standard on lower trims. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on the cabin controls, safety equipment, and overall condition, since the Maverick’s value depends heavily on how well it was equipped and maintained.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base XL has standard 17-inch steel wheels and a more basic grille, while XLT and Lariat add alloy wheels and more upscale exterior details. The cabin is still described as charming and functional even at lower trims, but the base truck is the one most likely to leave you wanting more equipment.
• Powertrain: The standard hybrid uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with a single electric motor and CVT, and it is available with front-wheel drive or AWD for 2025. The optional 2.0-liter turbo-four produces 238 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque, while the Lobo uses a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
• Safety package: The base XL includes forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high beams. Lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning move up to the XLT, while adaptive cruise control with lane-centering and stop-and-go functions is reserved for the Lariat or Tremor. A 360-degree camera system is available for 2025.
• Infotainment: The Maverick gets a standard 13.2-inch touchscreen, Sync 4, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and an eight-inch digital instrument cluster. Ford still routes temperature and seat-heater controls through the touchscreen, so you should make sure you’re comfortable with that setup.
• Fuel efficiency: The base FWD hybrid returns 42 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, while the AWD hybrid is rated at 40 mpg city and 34 mpg highway. The 2.0-liter turbo-four is rated at 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, and the Lobo drops slightly from there.

Which 2025 Ford Maverick trim should I buy?

The 2025 Ford Maverick is offered in 5 trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, Tremor, and Lobo.

Here's the short version:

• XL: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Maverick’s core appeal at the lowest price. You get the basic truck shape, the charming interior design, and the standard safety items, but you give up some of the convenience and driver-assist upgrades found higher up the range.
• XLT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds meaningful equipment without pushing too far into premium pricing. It also unlocks more safety tech than the XL, which makes it the smarter middle-ground choice if you want a better-equipped daily driver.
• Lariat: Choose this if you want the most polished mainstream Maverick experience. It adds more upscale touches and is one of the trims that brings adaptive cruise control with lane-centering and stop-and-go functions.
• Tremor: This is the off-road-focused choice, with dedicated suspension tuning, all-terrain tires, skid plates, and a twin-clutch rear drive unit for its AWD system. It also gets adaptive cruise control.
• Lobo: This is the fun-to-drive street-truck variant, with lowered suspension, unique styling, upgraded cooling, a track-focused drive mode, and torque-vectoring hardware. It stands out if you want the Maverick with the most playful handling character.

Advanced safety features are not standard, so if those matter to you, prioritize a trim that includes them or budget for the right package.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Ford Maverick?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without expecting huge discounts everywhere.

• Deal availability: 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,809 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.49% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 91.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,429, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Ford Maverick's resale value?

The current average of $31,429 sits slightly below last year's $32,908.

That softer pricing suggests the Maverick has cooled from its earlier peak, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. The current market still shows healthy demand, though, so a well-kept truck with the right equipment should remain easier to move than a neglected one.

Because the Maverick remains practical, fuel efficient, and broadly appealing, a clean example should still attract attention from used buyers. Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2025 Ford Maverick safe?

The 2025 Maverick earns a four-star overall safety rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings in rollover crash testing and five-star ratings in frontal and side crash tests. It also received a top “Good” rating in the updated side crash test from IIHS, but only a “Marginal” rating in the updated moderate overlap front test and an “Acceptable” headlight rating.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

Ford makes forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high beams standard on the base XL, but more advanced features require moving up the lineup. Lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning are tied to the XLT, while adaptive cruise control with lane-centering and stop-and-go functions is reserved for the Lariat or Tremor. A 360-degree camera system is also available for 2025.

The main caveat is that advanced safety features are not standard, so you should pay close attention to trim level and option content if safety tech is a priority.

Should I buy a 2025 Ford Maverick or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 34.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.3% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.49% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2025 model adds styling and tech updates, plus the new Maverick Lobo performance variant and an all-wheel drive hybrid.

The bottom line: If you want the newest Maverick with updated tech, broader powertrain choices, and a still-healthy used market, the 2025 is the right target. If your priority is lower entry cost, a nearby year may be the better path, especially if you can live without the 2025 updates and want to spend less upfront.
