Which Ford Maverick trim should I buy?

The 2025 Ford Maverick offers these trims:

• XL: The entry trim keeps things simple with basic-chic styling, 17-inch steel wheels, and a charming, functional cabin; it’s the value pick if you want the Maverick’s core utility at the lowest step in the lineup.
• XLT: This trim adds a more polished wheel setup and more equipment than XL, making it the best-value choice for many shoppers who want a balanced mix of features and price.
• Lariat: This trim brings 19-inch alloys and a gloss-black grille, along with a more upscale look for buyers who want the most refined everyday version.
• 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, and a unique performance-oriented setup.

What Ford Maverick do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right price and equipment mix. They also sit close to the Maverick’s newer feature updates while still offering used-car pricing.

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 biggest drops are in the older model years, while the newer ones are still easing down at a slower pace. That pattern gives you a wider spread of price points to choose from depending on how much equipment and freshness you want.

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

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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −4.02% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −4.51%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 32% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 31.5%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $29,136. The Ford Maverick offers a compact, practical truck character that makes it easy to live with in everyday driving.

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 hybrid uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine running on the Atkinson cycle, working with a single electric motor and continuously variable transmission (CVT), and this combination produces 191 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque.
• 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; wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard as well, along with a new eight-inch digital instrument cluster.
• Safety: A 360-degree camera system is a new addition to the option list for 2025.
• 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.
