When can you order a 2025 Ford Maverick?
You can get a Maverick today! The 2025 Maverick is already on dealership lots waiting for you. It brings some new features as well as a new trim level. This new trim is the Lobo performance trim. It comes packed with a 238-horsepower engine, AWD and a seven-speed automatic transmission. For better performance, the Lobo comes with a lowered suspension, better brakes and 19-inch rally-inspired wheels.
The rest of the lineup also sees some new features. These features are a new 13.2-inch infotainment screen that now comes with wireless phone connectivity, AWD is added to the hybrid powertrain allowing you to tow 4000. Some new safety features include the optional 360-degree camera, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control and automatic high-beam headlamps.
When can you order the 2025 Ford Ranger?
You can order a Ranger today! The Ranger doesn’t see too many changes for 2025, only really seeing cosmetic changes with new paints and an appearance package.
If you want a truck with the newest features, then you’ll need to spring for the Maverick, but the Ranger still boasts great features carried over from 2024. Some of these features are trim specific, but all of them help to make this midsize truck one that has options for every driver.
How much is the 2025 Ford Maverick going to cost?
The Ford Maverick will start at $26,995. The Maverick comes in 5 trim levels, each coming with a purpose. The trims you can find are:
- XL starting at $26,995
- XLT starting at $29,495
- Lobo starting at $35,255
- Lariat starting at $37,290
- Tremor starting at $40,350
If you’re a tradesman who doesn’t need something huge, but will transport tools around, the XL is a good choice. Nothing fancy, but will get the job done at a price you can’t beat. The go-to trim for Car and Driver is the XLT, this is because it “adds features such as 17-inch aluminum wheels, cruise control, a power lock for the tailgate, and power exterior mirrors, making it the value-oriented model.”
How much is the 2025 Ford Ranger going to cost?
The Ford Ranger starts at $33,080. The 2025 Ranger comes in 4 trims, with the lineup seeing a few different price points. The trims are:
- XL starting at $33,080
- XLT starting at $36,110
- Lariat starting at $43,880
- Raptor starting at $55,820
Much like the Maverick, the XLT is the go to trim for Car and Driver. This is for much of the same reasons as it “offers a reasonable list of features for less.” Some of these are “desirable equipment such as LED exterior lighting, 17-inch aluminum wheels, power-folding side-view mirrors, in-dash navigation, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and a power outlet inside the truck bed.”
However, if you’re out for adventure the Ranger Raptor is the trim of your dreams! It boasts a powerful engine and off-road ready features and tech.
How many miles per gallon does a 2025 Ford Maverick get?
The Maverick can get 42 mpg. With two engines being offered, your fuel economy will depend on the one that you get. The 2.0L EcoBoost engine will get you an EPA estimated 25 MPG combined. This breaks down to 22 city miles, and 30 highway miles.
The next engine is the 2.0L Hybrid engine. The EPA estimates you will get 38 combined MPG. Due to the nature of electric engines, this will shine in the city, getting 42 miles per gallon, while getting 35 on the highway.
How many miles per gallon does a 2025 Ford Ranger get?
The Ranger can get 26 mpg. The Ranger comes with a few engine options, with the most powerful one in the belly of the Raptor. The first engine being the 2.3L EcoBoost, getting an EPA estimated combined 23 mpg. This will be able to get 21 miles per gallon in the city, and 26 on the highway.
The next engine is the 2.7L V6. While the EPA hasn’t tested 2025 specifically, we can safely say that the fuel economy will stay the same as the 2024 tests. This gets 20 MPG combined, able to get 19 miles per gallon in the city, and 23 on the highway. No matter the engine you get, the Ranger has the same 7,000 towing capacity.
The last engine is locked to the Raptor, and while it’s not the most fuel efficient engine it is the most powerful in the lineup. This engine is the 3.0L V6, getting an EPA combined 17 MPG, getting 16 miles per gallon in the city, and 18 on the highway.
