Which Ford Maverick trim should I buy?

The 2025 Ford Maverick offers these trims:

• XL: The base trim keeps things simple with 17-inch steel wheels and a basic-chic look, making it the value-focused starting point.
• XLT: Adds 17-inch alloy wheels and brings in more equipment, including the driver-assist content that expands beyond the base XL.
• Lariat: Adds 19-inch alloy wheels and a gloss-black grille, giving you a more upscale appearance and more available equipment.
• Tremor: The off-road model adds dedicated suspension tuning, all-terrain tires on 17-inch wheels, skid plates, and a twin-clutch rear drive unit for its AWD system.
• Lobo: The street-focused model adds a cleaner front fascia, painted rear bumper, side skirts, 19-inch wheels, lowered suspension, a unique seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and torque-vectoring hardware; it stands out as the most distinctive choice if you want the Maverick’s performance-oriented character.

What Ford Maverick do most buyers choose?

The Ford Maverick years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

Higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they usually offer a broader mix of trims, prices, and equipment. That gives you more chances to find the right balance of value and features.

What is the Ford Maverick's resale value?

The Maverick’s used prices have moved lower across every model year shown, which is helpful if you’re shopping for value. The newest examples have seen the smallest percentage drops, while older ones have fallen more sharply. That pattern gives you a wider spread of price points to choose from depending on how much equipment you want.

The 2025, 2024, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Ford Maverick safe?

• 2022: 7/10

The 2025 Maverick includes forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high beams on the base XL, with lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, and adaptive cruise control available on higher trims.

Should I buy a used Ford Maverick now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −2.85% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −4.56%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 30.5% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 30.4%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $28,901. The Ford Maverick offers a compact, easy-to-live-with truck character that makes it especially appealing for everyday use.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The standard hybrid powertrain is now available with front-wheel drive (FWD) or AWD, while the non-hybrid powertrain is AWD-only, the reverse of previous model years.
• Tech: The Sync 3 infotainment system has been replaced with the current Sync 4 system, and a standard 13.2-inch touchscreen replaces the previous eight-inch touchscreen.
• Safety: Forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high beams are standard on the base XL, but you have to upgrade to the Maverick XLT to get lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and to the Lariat or Tremor to get adaptive cruise control (which also features lane-centering and stop-and-go functions).
• Starting price: For 2025, Maverick pricing starts at $29,840 (including a mandatory $1,695 destination charge) for a basic XL hybrid with FWD, steel wheels, and manually-adjusted mirrors.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
