Used 2025 Ford Maverick for Sale near Traverse City, MI

How much does the 2025 Ford Maverick cost?

Prices have softened 3.10% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,665 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable range of choices.

Is the 2025 Ford Maverick a good car?

Generally — the 2025 Ford Maverick earns a 4.4/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating, which points to broad appeal with a few clear compromises. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, Form and function, and Technology.

Owners consistently praise its practicality, comfortable seating, good fuel economy, and spacious interior, and they also like the modern features. The main trade-offs are the absence of some safety features and a few comfort luxuries, while the expert review also notes that prices have crept up and the touchscreen controls can be excessive.

That mix fits you best if you want a compact pickup that feels easy to live with, offers truck usefulness without a full-size footprint, and still delivers everyday efficiency. The market also shows 31.0% of listings as good or great deals, which is a decent sign that value-minded shoppers can still find opportunities.

Is the 2025 Ford Maverick reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a truck that feels practical, dependable, and easy to count on, especially when you value everyday usability and good fuel economy. The expert review also describes the Maverick as pleasant to drive and practical in hybrid form, which supports the idea that it should be a sensible long-term companion for routine use.

Ford’s warranty coverage includes a three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, and an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for hybrid components. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the Maverick’s value proposition has weakened as prices have risen, so condition and maintenance history matter even more.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re shopping outside the cleanest listings. Focus on overall condition, signs of hard use, and whether the truck’s equipment matches the trim you expect.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base XL is the simplest version, while XLT and Lariat add more upscale touches, and the Tremor and Lobo are specialty models with distinct personalities. The base truck keeps things basic, so if you want more visual polish or convenience features, you’ll want to step up from XL.
• Powertrain: The standard hybrid uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with a single electric motor and CVT, while the optional 2.0-liter turbo-four brings more power and an eight-speed automatic in most trims. The hybrid is the efficiency play, while the turbo engine is the stronger choice if you want more punch.
• Safety package: Forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high beams are standard on the base XL. Lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning require XLT, while adaptive cruise control with lane-centering and stop-and-go functions is reserved for Lariat or Tremor.
• Infotainment: The truck gets a 13.2-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an eight-inch digital instrument cluster. Ford’s continued use of touchscreen controls for temperature and seat heaters is worth checking in person to see whether it works for you.
• Fuel efficiency: The base FWD hybrid is rated at 38 mpg combined, while the AWD hybrid returns 37 mpg combined. The 2.0-liter turbo-four is rated at 25 mpg combined in XL, XLT, and Lariat, while Lobo is rated at 24 mpg combined and Tremor at 23 mpg combined.

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. It’s the trim to consider if you want the simplest path into the lineup and are comfortable with the most basic equipment.
• XLT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds meaningful equipment without pushing you into the pricier upper end of the range. It also unlocks more of the safety tech that the base truck leaves out.
• Lariat: Choose this if you want a more upscale Maverick with more convenience and the strongest safety-tech availability in the mainstream lineup. It’s the trim that best suits you if comfort and features matter more than keeping the price down.
• Tremor: This is the off-road-focused choice, with dedicated suspension tuning, all-terrain tires, skid plates, and an AWD system with a twin-clutch rear drive unit. It’s the right pick if you want the Maverick’s rugged side rather than the broadest value.
• Lobo: This is the performance-oriented trim, with lowered suspension, a unique dual-clutch gearbox, upgraded cooling, torque-vectoring hardware, and a track-focused drive mode. It’s the one to buy if you want the most fun-to-drive Maverick and are willing to pay for it.

Adaptive cruise control with lane-centering and stop-and-go functions is limited to the Lariat and Tremor, so safety-tech shoppers should keep that in mind.

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 patiently but still move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 31.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,665 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.10% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,514, 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 $31,972 sits slightly below last year's $32,996.

That price movement suggests the Maverick has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more carefully now but may also mean future resale gains are less likely to be dramatic. If you’re planning to sell later, the current trend implies you should expect value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim desirability rather than broad market appreciation.

The Maverick still has strong appeal because it combines practicality, efficiency, and everyday livability in a compact truck package. That kind of broad usefulness tends to support demand when you eventually list it again.

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 Ford Maverick earns a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings in rollover crash testing and five-star ratings in frontal and side crash tests.

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

Ford includes forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high beams on the base XL, but more advanced driver assistance is not standard across the lineup. Lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning require the XLT, while adaptive cruise control with lane-centering and stop-and-go functions is limited to the Lariat and Tremor. A 360-degree camera system is also newly available for 2025.

The IIHS results are mixed, with a Good rating in the updated side crash test, but only Marginal in the updated moderate overlap front test and Acceptable for headlights. That front-crash result is the main caveat to keep in mind if safety is a top 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:

• 31.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.4% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.10% 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 Lobo performance variant and an all-wheel drive hybrid.

The bottom line: If you want the most up-to-date Maverick with the best tech, the new AWD hybrid option, and the Lobo’s added personality, the 2025 is the right year to target. If your priority is lower purchase price above all else, a nearby older year may be the better value play, but you’ll be giving up some of the 2025 updates and may need to be more flexible on equipment.
