Small Yet Mighty: 2025 Ford Maverick Towing Capacity and Performance Features

Sep 11, 2025

The Maverick may be Ford’s smallest pickup, but it packs a mighty punch, sharing several features with the full-size F-150 and the mid-size Ranger. 

Earning a spot on Car and Driver’s 10 Best Trucks list for 2025, the Ford Maverick proves that a compact pickup is not to be underestimated. 

After all, who doesn’t love the rise of an underdog? 

From its fuel efficiency and performance features to its towing capabilities, the new Ford Maverick for sale proves that size doesn’t matter as long as you know how to use it. 

Honoring the Hybrid Alternative 

One of the standout features of the Ford Maverick for 2025 is its choice of base engine: the 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine. 

The standard hybrid powertrain comes with an electric motor and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Delivering a steady 191 horsepower and 155 lb.-ft. of torque, the Maverick proves ready to take on both crowded city streets and the open road with ease. 

For those in search of a little more power who don’t mind a few extra stops at the pump, the Maverick also offers an optional 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine. 

The gas-powered alternative comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Offering an impressive 250 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque, the EcoBoost engine is ideal for off-road adventurers and heavy-duty haulers. 

Does Size Matter? Exploring the Ford Maverick’s Towing Capacity 

One look at the size of the Ford Maverick, and you may question its towing capability–is this compact pickup really prepared for the long haul? 

In short? Absolutely. 

Both the hybrid and non-hybrid Maverick models offer a towing capacity of 2000 pounds and a payload capacity of 1500 pounds, making it easier than ever to haul a couch, lawnmower, or a four-wheeler (not to mention a few friends to bring along for the ride). 

If 1500 pounds is not enough to haul what you need, the Maverick offers a 4K Tow Package. 

Capable of towing up to 4,000 pounds, the package includes a Class III Trailer Hitch with a 2-inch receiver, featuring 4-Pin and 7-Pin connectors, a Trailer Brake Controller, and an upgraded cooling fan, among other features. Available towing technologies include the Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist, adding to the ease of hauling cargo without the hassle. 

How Far Will You Go? The Ford Maverick Fuel Economy and MPG

How far will you go? That all depends on how far your Ford Maverick can go before you need to stop at the gas station. 

The EPA estimates that the Maverick, when equipped with the hybrid engine, can achieve up to 42 mpg city and 35 mpg highway with front-wheel drive, and slightly lower mileage with all-wheel drive. 

The non-hybrid variant is rated to go up to 22 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. 

Different models and engine combinations will vary the Maverick’s fuel economy. To learn more about how far you can go behind the wheel of the new 2025 Ford Maverick for sale, visit the EPA’s website.
