Your Trim Guide for the 2025 Ford Maverick Compact Truck

Just because you have a limited budget or a tight parking spot doesn’t mean you can’t get a capable and versatile pickup truck perfect for everything from daily errands to yearly vacations to big DIY projects. We proudly offer the Ford Maverick for sale near Des Plaines at Schaumburg Ford. This compact truck packs a big punch, giving you everything you need to make the most of your time behind the wheel.

While the Maverick may not be as endlessly configurable as the F-150, it does offer a range of options, ensuring that there’s something for everyone. The 2025 model is available in five trim levels, each offering a unique blend of included features and starting price. In this guide, we’ll take a look at these trims to help you decide which one is right for you so you can find your perfect match.

XL

The XL is the most affordable option in the lineup, with a starting MSRP of $28,145.^[a] However, Ford has gone to great lengths to make this entry-level option an excellent choice for drivers on a budget. It comes standard with many features, from the same 13.2-inch central touchscreen (complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) on the top-tier models to five selectable drive modes to help you tackle various driving situations.

This trim also comes standard with a powerful and efficient 2.5L I-4 Hybrid powertrain, producing up to 191 horsepower. The 4K Tow Package can tow up to 4,000 lbs. With standard front-wheel drive, the XL delivers 38 MPG, so you can drive past the gas station as you cruise around Des Plaines and keep your hard-earned money in your wallet.

The XL comes standard with pre-collision assist and automatic emergency braking to keep you safe on the road. It also features automatic headlamps and automatic LED high beams so you can have the right lighting for any situation without lifting a finger. Standard cruise control makes highway trips a breeze.

The 4.5-foot cargo bed comes standard with Ford’s innovative Flexbed storage system so you can organize the space your way. There are a variety of available accessories compatible with the system so you can add dividers, weatherproof bins, bed extenders for extra-long cargo, and more, depending on your individual needs. The six standard tie downs double as bottle openers, which are handy for work and play.

XLT

Upgrading to the XLT trim doesn’t take too much extra cash, only raising the starting MSRP to $30,645.^[a] But for that money, you get some useful additional features inside and out. For example, this trim comes standard with intelligent access and push-button start, so you don’t have to take your key fob out of your pocket to get into and start the truck, making the key more straightforward to keep track of as you do hard work or have fun outdoor adventures.

Another convenient feature is wiper-activated LED headlamps, which give you extra light to navigate on rainy days. And the conveniences aren’t limited to you as the driver, either. Your backseat passengers will appreciate the standard rear armrest with integrated cup holders.

Go even further back, and you’ll find the upgrades in the bed. The number of tie-downs increases to ten, so you have even more options for securing your cargo. There’s also cubby storage, which is a great way to keep smaller objects, from tools to snacks, organized and accessible. If you can’t fit everything in the bed, don’t panic. The Maverick XLT comes standard with a 2K trailer hitch receiver with a 4-pin connector.

On top of the great standard features, some useful optional packages are available on the XLT, but not the base XL. The Luxury Package offers a more comfortable cabin, with heated front seats, an eight-way power-adjustable driver seat, a remote start system, and more. If you want to answer the call to adventure, you can opt for the FX4 Off-Road package, which gives you everything you need to explore beyond the pavement, from all-terrain tires and skid plates to a performance suspension and front tow hooks. You’ll also get a special off-road performance screen to track vital information.

Lobo

All-new for the 2025 model year, the Lobo trim has the style to turn heads around Des Plaines and the performance capability to get your kicks on roads anywhere. With a starting MSRP of $35,930, the Lobo trim has a significant variety of upgrades, including a more powerful engine.^[a] The 2.0L EcoBoost produces up to 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque, so you can accelerate in a flash and make getting there more than half the fun. An advanced 4WD system is also standard for optimal traction in any weather.

The powertrain is complemented by the Lobo’s performance-tuned suspension, which keeps your ride smooth even on twisting roads. You can also activate Lobo Mode on a closed course to see what this truck can really do.

While the Lobo is geared toward driving enthusiasts, it also offers plenty of more practical features for everyday driving. Its cabin will keep you comfortable with a standard power-adjustable driver seat that can be positioned just right. This trim also comes standard with a wider range of driver assists, including adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, lane centering, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. You’ll be able to stay aware of your surroundings to avoid danger and drive confidently.

Lariat

If you enjoy a luxurious driving experience, look no further than the Maverick Lariat. This trim’s $38,440 starting MSRP gets you an incredible array of standard features to make a truck that feels like a million bucks.^[a] Powered by the hybrid powertrain paired with standard AWD, the Lariat gets you both efficiency and optimal traction in one package.

Step inside, and you’ll find all the creature comforts you could want. Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps everyone comfortable no matter the weather. On chilly Des Plaines winter mornings, you can go a step further by enjoying the standard heated front seats and steering wheel, plus heated outside mirrors that keep frost at bay so you don’t have to. The acoustic windshield keeps the cabin nice and quiet so you can enjoy conversation with your passengers or your favorite music.

Speaking of music, the Lariat has a premium B&O sound system with eight speakers (including a subwoofer) and HD Radio. To match the mood of your tunes, you can turn on the truck’s ambient lighting. You’ll also get LED box lighting in the back to help you see your cargo at night or keep things lit during a tailgate party.

Other features make your life more convenient. A power-sliding rear window lets you let in extra air or give backseat passengers access to the cargo bed. With a wireless charging pad up front and dual USB ports in the rear, the Maverick Lariat can easily keep everyone’s devices juiced up and ready to go. A 360º camera with trailer reverse guidance makes maneuvering in even the tightest of spaces easy.

Tremor

At the top of the pack is the off-road capable Maverick Tremor, which has a starting MSRP of $40,995.^[a] This trim combines the best of the two beneath it, with just about all of the Lariat’s comfort and convenience upgrades and the more powerful engine and advanced 4WD found on the Lobo.

In addition, the Tremor has a laundry list of rugged features. It has an off-road-tuned suspension, an off-road drive mode, elevated ground clearance, and a lockable rear differential. Ford’s innovative Trail Control with 1-Pedal Drive lets you focus on steering during tricky situations while the system keeps your speed in check. You can advertise this rugged capability to the world with striking orange accents.
