Freshened for 2025, the Maverick uses a standard 250-hp turbo four-cylinder engine mated to an eight-speed automatic with all-wheel drive.
This powertrain can tow up to 4,000 pounds and gets 23 mpg overall, but its tendency to lug along at low revs sends annoying vibrations into the cabin.
The front-wheel-drive hybrid got an excellent 37 mpg overall in our tests, but with half the tow capacity; an AWD hybrid is new.
The Maverick's ride is refined for a pickup truck, and handling is very secure.
Maneuverability, access, and visibility are commendable, and the controls are super-easy.
However, the truck is loud (the hybrid is quieter), and the interior feels utilitarian.
The 4.5-foot-long bed is deep enough to be practical and is very easy to reach into.
BSW and RCTW are optional.
The Maverick, based on the Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs, was the first-ever pickup truck to come standard as a hybrid. The base powertrain is a 191-hp, 2.5-liter hybrid four-cylinder linked to a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive.
The non-hybrid version uses a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with an eight-speed automatic and 4,000-pound tow capacity.
It is available in front- and all-wheel drive.
This small crew cab pickup has just a 4.5-foot bed.
