2025 Ford Maverick Engine Comparison
Gas or hybrid — which one’s right for you? The 2025 Ford Maverick 2.5L full hybrid powertrain makes 191 horsepower and achieves up to 42 MPG in city driving or 35 MPG on the highway. The inline four-cylinder (I4) engine is paired with a 94-kilowatt (kW) battery to create the hybrid powertrain with a fusion of electric and gas power. Choose the Maverick 2.0L EcoBoost® gas engine for enhanced power and torque output — 250 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque.
You’ll find the hybrid engine paired with a PowerSplit electronic continuously variable transmission (CVT). On most trims with the EcoBoost engine, the Maverick sends its power through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Uniquely, the Maverick Lobo™ trim utilizes a seven-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for more control and a deeper connection to the driving experience.
Standard drive modes with the Maverick XL, XLT, and Lariat® include rotary dial-selected slippery, eco, normal, sport, and tow/haul modes. The optional FX4 Off-Road Package and Tremor® trim add an off-road drive mode to this selection, and the Lobo trim includes a unique drive mode that shares its name for sharper handling and responsiveness.

2025 Ford Maverick Drivetrain
The 2025 Ford Maverick is equipped with either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) with the hybrid engine and a standard AWD system with the EcoBoost engine. AWD availability with the hybrid engine is new for the 2025 model year, allowing you to balance enhanced fuel efficiency with enhanced traction and handling. For greater capability in off-road conditions, the Maverick Tremor and Lobo trims feature an advanced four-wheel drive (4WD) system. The key difference between this 4WD system and the AWD system on other trims is the twin-clutch rear drive unit that can optimize traction using torque vectoring technology to power the rear wheels as required when you’re driving over tough terrain or navigating tight corners.
Depending on the trim option you pick, the Maverick can elevate your driving experience with several different suspension upgrades. The street-ready Maverick Lobo features sporty, responsive shocks paired with a slightly lowered suspension and performance-tuned steering capabilities. When your adventures take you past the end of the pavement, the Maverick Tremor features an off-road-tuned suspension with an enhanced ground clearance of 9.1 inches.
2025 Ford Maverick Towing Capacity
Put your 2025 Ford Maverick to work with confidence in its towing abilities. The maximum towing capacity with either Maverick engine is 4,000 pounds. To unlock this number, you’ll need to equip the optional 4K Tow Package, which adds:
- Trailer brake controller
- Class III trailer hitch receiver with four-pin and seven-pin connector
- Transmission oil cooler
- Higher capacity radiator (2.0L gas engine)
- Upgraded cooling fan
- Conventional 17-in. spare tire
- Not available with FWD or advanced 4WD
Beyond the mechanical upgrades needed to maximize your towing capacity, the Maverick offers several tech upgrades designed to enhance your towing experience. When your spotter isn’t available to help, the available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™ system takes over steering, braking, and acceleration to place the hitch directly below the trailer coupler. Make reversing your trailer into tight spaces or busy ramps easier using the dial-driven Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ system.
Find the maximum towing capacities for the Maverick engine, drivetrain, and trim combinations in the following chart.
| Engine & Configuration | Max Towing Capacity |
|---|---|
| 2.5L full hybrid w/ AWD | 4,000 lbs. |
| 2.5L full hybrid w/ FWD | 2,000 lbs. |
| 2.0L EcoBoost w/ AWD | 4,000 lbs. |
| 2.0L EcoBoost w/ AWD and Tremor trim | 2,000 lbs. |

2025 Ford Maverick Payload
Pack the SuperCrew® cab and 33.3 cubic feet of truck bed cargo volume with all the gear, luggage, materials, and passengers you need in the 2025 Ford Maverick. When properly equipped, the Maverick has a 1,500-pound maximum payload capacity. To achieve this figure, you’ll need the hybrid engine paired with FWD or the EcoBoost engine on a trim other than the Tremor or Lobo. As you load the FLEXBED® of the Maverick, make intuitive use of the space using unique molded-in slots for do-it-yourself custom shelving or tailored Ford accessories. To help you create a flat space for longer cargo, like sheets of plywood, the multi-position tailgate locks in place in halfway-lowered alignment with the tops of the wheel wells.
See the Ford Maverick payload capacity specs by engine and configuration in the accompanying table.
| Engine & Configuration | Max Payload Capacity |
|---|---|
| 2.5L full hybrid w/ AWD | 1,400 lbs. |
| 2.5L full hybrid w/ FWD | 1,500 lbs. |
| 2.0L EcoBoost w/ AWD | 1,500 lbs. |
