2025 Ford Maverick Updates and Buying Guide Near St. Louis
Weber Ford • Granite City • Greater St. Louis
What changed for the 2025 Maverick?
The 2025 Maverick update made hybrid AWD available, expanded towing choices and brought a larger standard touchscreen. Lobo and Tremor added two very different ways to configure the compact pickup. Use this model-year guide to understand a 2025 listing, then confirm its equipment and availability with Weber Ford.
The 2025 changes that matter when shopping
The preview has become a vehicle you can evaluate by its actual build. Start with these changes, then distinguish the equipment offered for 2025 from the options installed on a particular truck.
| Change | What it means for your shortlist |
|---|---|
| Hybrid AWD added | You can look for a 2.5L hybrid with AWD as well as FWD. A hybrid listing alone does not establish the driven wheels. |
| 4K towing available with eligible hybrid AWD | The correct AWD truck and 4K Tow Package can reach 4,000 lb maximum towing. The package is not included simply because a truck is hybrid or AWD. |
| Larger standard infotainment screen | A 13.2-inch center display and SYNC 4 with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility distinguish the updated cabin. |
| Lobo joins the lineup | A street-oriented 2.0L model with a 7-speed quick-shift transmission and its own suspension/appearance equipment. |
| Tremor becomes a distinct model | A 2.0L off-road-oriented configuration with advanced 4WD and its own equipment; do not apply another trim’s towing package automatically. |
Hybrid, EcoBoost, FWD and AWD are separate decisions
For 2025, XL and XLT can be configured with the 2.5L hybrid and FWD or AWD, or the 2.0L EcoBoost with AWD. Lariat is AWD, with hybrid or EcoBoost choices. Lobo and Tremor use the 2.0L engine with their own driveline and equipment arrangements.
The hybrid uses a power-split electric continuously variable transmission. Most EcoBoost configurations use an 8-speed automatic; Lobo has a 7-speed quick-shift transmission. These distinctions matter during a test drive and when comparing two listings that otherwise have similar prices.
If fuel usage is central to the decision, compare the EPA label for the exact engine and drivetrain. A FWD hybrid estimate should not be carried over to AWD, a gas model or a truck with different equipment. The Maverick hybrid shopping page helps organize that search.
Understand the 2,000-pound and 4,000-pound towing choices
Ford’s 2025 towing guide lists 2,000-lb ratings for base configurations and 4,000-lb ratings for eligible AWD vehicles with the 4K Tow Package. The package includes towing-related equipment such as a trailer-brake controller, appropriate connectors and cooling changes. A receiver alone does not prove the package is present.
Verify the original window sticker or build information for option 53Q and the matching towing-table row. Lobo and Tremor should be reviewed using their own equipment rather than assumed to offer the same 4K combination as XL, XLT or Lariat.
Use the loaded trailer weight, not its empty or dry weight. Occupants, bed cargo, accessories and trailer tongue load also use the truck’s carrying allowance. A published 1,500-lb maximum payload is not the rating of every Maverick; use the actual door label and all applicable vehicle limits.
Lobo and Tremor answer different questions
Choose Lobo for its street-oriented character if that is what you want from a compact pickup. Its lowered ride height, specific transmission and performance-oriented equipment are different priorities from an off-road setup. Any track-oriented mode must be used only as Ford directs.
Tremor instead emphasizes rough-road equipment and control. Compare the actual tires, clearance, driveline and manufacturer instructions for the places you intend to drive. Its name does not establish that a particular trailer, accessory or terrain is suitable.
A buyer who wants a conventional daily-use truck with an available hybrid AWD combination may find the XL, XLT or Lariat route more relevant. Pick the function first; use appearance and comfort preferences to finish the shortlist.
Try the updated cabin and the everyday bed tasks
The 2025 cabin provides the larger center screen and an 8-inch digital instrument cluster. Connect your phone while parked and try navigation, calls and audio. Check whether the truck includes the camera and driver-assistance features you want; a standard display does not make every feature standard.
The five-seat cab and compact bed should be tested with your regular passengers and loads. Try the rear-seat space, lifting height, tiedown access and any tonneau or bedliner already installed. The FLEXBED system and multi-position tailgate are useful only when cargo is supported and secured within Ford’s instructions.
For a question about the rear cab wall or tailgate positions, use the separate Maverick midgate and bed-utility guide. It explains those features without treating them as extra towing or payload capacity.
Evaluate a 2025 vehicle as a purchase today
Ask whether the truck is new, used or a former service/courtesy vehicle, then compare mileage, condition, original equipment and applicable coverage. A 2025 guide should not promise factory-order availability or a test-drive vehicle that has not been confirmed.
Begin with Maverick inventory and used Maverick options. If you also consider 2026, use the separate 2026 trim guide so a later equipment change does not get assigned to a 2025 truck.
Request a complete itemized proposal for the selected vehicle. Review selling price, trade appraisal, any payoff and financing terms separately, then compare the total ownership budget.
Questions about the 2025 Maverick update
Is every 2025 Maverick hybrid AWD?
No. Hybrid FWD and AWD configurations are offered. Check the actual drivetrain on the listing and original build information.
Can a 2025 hybrid Maverick tow 4,000 pounds?
An eligible AWD hybrid with the required 4K Tow Package can carry that published maximum, subject to loading and equipment limits. It is not a rating for every hybrid.
Does Lobo use the same transmission as the other EcoBoost Mavericks?
No. The 2025 Lobo uses a 7-speed quick-shift transmission. Other 2025 EcoBoost Maverick configurations use an 8-speed automatic.
2025 reference documents
Ford’s 2025 Maverick order guide and 2025 RV and Trailer Towing Guide support the model and package distinctions above. Checked October 29, 2026; use the actual build documentation and owner’s manual for the selected truck.
