Which Ford Maverick trim should I buy?

The 2025 Ford Maverick offers these trims:

• XL: The entry trim brings the standard 13.2-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the Maverick’s basic-chic interior design; it suits you if you want the lowest-cost way into the lineup.
• XLT: This trim adds lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning, plus more available equipment, making it the best-value choice for many shoppers.
• Lariat: This trim adds adaptive cruise control with lane-centering and stop-and-go functions, along with a gloss-black grille and more upscale details.
• 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.

What Ford Maverick do most buyers choose?

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

Higher-volume years usually give you more choices on trim, mileage, and price, which makes them easier starting points when you want to compare similar trucks. They also tend to be the years shoppers cross-shop most often, so you can usually find a broader mix of listings.

What is the Ford Maverick's resale value?

Prices are down across every model year shown, which is good news if you are shopping used. The newer model years have seen smaller declines than the older ones, so recent Mavericks are giving up value more slowly than earlier examples. That pattern can make the latest used trucks especially appealing if you want newer features without paying full new-car pricing.

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 −4.49% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −4.73%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.1% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,429. The Ford Maverick offers compact-truck practicality, easy day-to-day livability, and a useful bed in a size that works well for urban 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 reverse of previous model years. The 2025 Ford Maverick 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).
• 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: Forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high beams are standard on the base XL, and the Lariat or Tremor adds adaptive cruise control with 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 2025 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.
