Some of the most important factors that prospective truck buyers consider are capability and performance, and the Ford Maverick towing capacity speaks directly to that desire for utility and power. With an eye-catching design, impressive fuel efficiency, and tech-savvy features, this compact truck couples style with execution.
While the 2025 Ford Maverick towing capacity may not be as robust as larger Ford pickups, this model offers unique features and capabilities that make it an attractive option for truck enthusiasts and first-time pickup buyers alike. This guide from the team at Bell Ford dives deep into the Ford Maverick towing capacity, exploring its suitability for various needs. Whether you’re a city dweller looking for a hobby truck or an outdoor enthusiast with gear to haul, the Ford Maverick may be just the vehicle you’ve been waiting for.
The Ford Maverick is a versatile pickup with multiple towing capacity options to fit your needs. The 2025 Maverick comes standard with a 2.5-liter I-4 hybrid engine.
In its standard front-wheel drive configuration, this powertrain allows the 2025 Maverick to tow up to 2,000 pounds.1 Opting for the 4K Tow Package – available for models with AWD configurations – doubles the total towing capacity of the Ford Maverick to 4,000 pounds.1 That means your hybrid vehicle will be robust enough to tow small trailers, campers, Jet Skis, and more.
The new Maverick also offers a 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline-four-cylinder engine that also provides a base towing capacity of 2,000 pounds.1 Like the hybrid models, that figure jumps to 4,000 pounds when properly equipped with the 4K Towing Package and other essentials.
Ultimately, you can achieve the maximum possible towing capacity, whether you prefer a fuel-sipping hybrid setup or a more robust all-gas option.
We’ll start things off by looking at the standard 2.5-liter hybrid engine. This eco-friendly powertrain also offers a respectable standard payload capacity of 1,500 pounds.2 Whether you’re loading up tools, supplies, gear, or recreational equipment, this engine is up to the task.
Under the hood, the 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain churns out 191 combined horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque. The truck also has an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT). The beauty of this setup is its focus on efficiency and smooth power delivery. Models equipped with the 2.5-liter hybrid engine come standard with a front-wheel drive configuration, making them well-suited for city commutes and light towing needs. You can opt for all-wheel drive to confidently tackle rough surfaces or inclement weather conditions.
For those seeking more muscle in their Maverick, the available 2.0-liter EcoBoost gas engine is a compelling choice. This engine can be paired with all-wheel drive, offering improved traction on the road. With an output of 250 horsepower and a robust 275 pound-feet of torque, paired with an automatic transmission, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine ensures a responsive and dynamic driving experience.
To unlock the truck’s maximum towing potential, you’ll want to opt for an all-wheel drive configuration and 4K Tow Package, as we mentioned above.
Whether you opt for the hybrid or EcoBoost engine, the payload capacity remains consistent at 1,500 pounds2 on all but two configurations. Opting for the off-road ready Tremor trim puts your payload capacity at 1,140 pounds,2 while choosing the street-tuned Lobo equips you with a 1,045-pound payload capacity.2
The Ford Maverick has five trim levels, each offering unique features and amenities. The truck’s variants include:
Both engine options are available for the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims, while the Lobo and Tremor come standard with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine and AWD.
The Ford Maverick XL is the base model, and its key features include:
The Ford Maverick XLT offers additional amenities and enhancements that add versatility. This model has standard 17-inch aluminum wheels and a Navy Pier/Aspen Gray interior cloth seat coloring. Features like a bed cubby storage system and ten standard tie-downs help maximize hauling convenience.
Next up, the Ford Lobo offers style and performance meant to dominate the asphalt. Stylish elements like its unique front grille and rally-inspired 19-inch wheels help it stand out from the pack. ActiveX-trimmed seats add even more comfort to the interior, helping you focus on the road or closed course ahead of you.
The Ford Maverick Lariat trim is perfect for anyone looking for premium cabin features and advanced technology. This model offers Smoked Truffle ActiveX-trimmed interior seating, a power-adjustable driver seat with power lumbar support, 19-inch aluminum wheels, and an 8-inch Instrument Cluster Screen.
Rounding out the lineup is the Ford Maverick Tremor, which is designed with off-road adventures in mind. Take advantage of Ford Trail Control, an elevated ride height, off-road tuned suspension, and 17-inch wheels with orange pockets and all-terrain tires to conquer the path towards your favorite campsite or lakeside cabin.
The XL, XLT, and Lariat Ford Maverick trim levels can tow up to 4,000 pounds when properly equipped with all-wheel drive and the 4K Tow Package. Towing capacity remains at 2,000 pounds for the Lobo and Tremor iterations.1
