Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: The base FWD hybrid returns an impressive EPA-estimated 38 mpg combined (42 mpg city, 35 mpg highway), and the new-for-2025 AWD hybrid is just behind it at 37 mpg combined (40 mpg city, 34 mpg highway).
• Infotainment: 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. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard as well, along with a new eight-inch digital instrument cluster.
• Safety package: 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 Ford Maverick trim should I buy?

• XLT: This trim adds more equipment and is the step up for driver-assistance content such as lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning, making it a strong value choice for many shoppers.
• Lariat: This trim adds a gloss-black grille, 19-inch alloys, and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, and it also gets adaptive cruise control; it suits you if you want a more upscale-feeling Maverick with more convenience tech.
• Tremor: This 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: This street-focused model adds a cleaner front fascia, painted rear bumper, side skirts, 19-inch wheels, lowered suspension, a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and torque-vectoring hardware; it stands out if you want the most distinctive performance-oriented Maverick.

What Ford Maverick do most buyers choose?

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

What is the Ford Maverick's resale value?

The Maverick’s used prices are moving lower across the board, which is good news if you’re shopping for value. The newer model years are still commanding higher prices, but the year-over-year declines show that recent inventory has become a bit more approachable.

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