How much does the 2025 Ford Maverick cost?

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. 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 option. They also like the spacious interior and modern features. On the downside, some owners wish it had more safety features and a few comfort upgrades.

The Maverick’s compact-truck packaging makes sense if you want pickup usefulness without moving up to a larger truck, and the cabin is described as charming and functional. The trade-offs are that prices have climbed and the touchscreen-heavy controls can be frustrating.

The market shows 31.6% good or great deals, so you still have some room to shop carefully.

Is the 2025 Ford Maverick reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to a truck that feels practical, comfortable, and efficient over time, with the hybrid setup drawing especially strong praise for everyday use. The expert evaluation also describes the Maverick as pleasant to drive and practical, which supports the idea that it should be easy to live with.

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 is less compelling than it once was, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

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 vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage truck or one with optional equipment. Focus on overall condition, how the cabin and controls have held up, and whether the truck’s features work as expected.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base XL has the most basic setup, while XLT and Lariat add more upscale touches, and the Tremor and Lobo bring specialty character. The base trim also misses some of the more advanced convenience and driver-assistance equipment that you’ll find higher up the lineup.
• Powertrain: You can shop a standard hybrid with front-wheel drive or AWD, or a 2.0-liter turbo-four with AWD. The hybrid is the efficiency play, while the turbo engine brings more power.
• Safety package: Ford’s driver-assistance setup starts with forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high beams on the base XL. Lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning require the XLT, while adaptive cruise control with lane-centering and stop-and-go functions is reserved for the Lariat or Tremor.
• Infotainment: The truck uses a 13.2-inch touchscreen with Sync 4, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an eight-inch digital instrument cluster. The system is modern, but some climate and seat-heater controls still live on the screen.
• Fuel efficiency: The base FWD hybrid returns an EPA-estimated 38 mpg combined, while the AWD hybrid is rated at 37 mpg combined. The 2.0-liter turbo-four is rated at 25 mpg combined, and the Tremor is rated 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 usefulness at the lowest price. It’s the trim to consider if you want the truck’s basic practicality and hybrid efficiency without paying for extras.
• XLT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds meaningful equipment without pushing too far up the price ladder. It also unlocks more of the Maverick’s driver-assistance content.
• Lariat: This is the more upscale choice, with a richer feel and access to additional convenience and safety equipment. It makes sense if you want the most polished everyday Maverick.
• Tremor: This is the off-road-focused model, with dedicated suspension tuning, all-terrain tires, skid plates, and AWD hardware. It’s the right pick if you want the Maverick’s most rugged character.
• Lobo: This is the performance-oriented trim, with lowered suspension, upgraded brakes, a unique transmission, and a track-focused drive mode. It’s the one to choose if you want the most distinctive driving experience.

Adaptive cruise control with lane-centering and stop-and-go functions is standard only on the Lariat and Tremor.

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

The market looks selective rather than overheated, so you can shop with patience and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,595 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.79% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,513, 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 $31,912 sits slightly below last year's $33,518.

That decline suggests the Maverick has cooled from its earlier pricing, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you’re thinking about future resale. If you buy at the right price and keep the truck in strong condition, you should be better positioned when it’s time to sell. The hybrid’s efficiency and the Maverick’s broad appeal should continue to support demand, but the higher entry price means buyers will remain value-conscious.

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 four-star ratings in rollover crash testing and five-star ratings in frontal and side crash tests from NHTSA.

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

Ford’s standard safety equipment includes forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high beams on the base XL. You need to move up to the XLT for lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning, and to the Lariat or Tremor for adaptive cruise control with lane-centering and stop-and-go functions. A 360-degree camera 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 means you should pay close attention to trim level and equipment 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:

• 31.6% 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 4.79% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2025 update brings styling and tech improvements, 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 strongest mix of tech, efficiency, and trim variety, the 2025 is the one to target. If your priority is simply getting the lowest possible price, a nearby model year may be worth comparing, but you’ll want to weigh that against the 2025’s updated equipment and broader lineup.
