Compare the 2025 Ford Maverick in El Paso, IL
The world of pickup trucks was caught blindsided by the 2025 Ford Maverick -- an effortlessly cool hauler and commuter that lives up to its name by delivering seriously impressive style, versatility and attitude.
Comparing the smallest and most affordable Ford truck to the competition underscores this. The others play it safe, and their adherence to the usual small-truck formula makes them look like runner-ups against the Maverick. These models don't just lack the panache of the Maverick pickup -- they also fall short in features and efficiency.
If you're ready for the next generation of pickup ownership, check out our 2025 Ford Maverick vs. Toyota Tacoma, Honda Ridgeline and Hyundai Santa Cruz comparison. As the specs will soon tell you, not all trucks are created equal. Only one takes home our top honors, and that winner is the one and only Ford Maverick. Buy one at Heller Ford Sales today.
2025 Ford Maverick Specs & MPG Ratings Compared
Efficiency is where the 2025 Ford Maverick shines, as it comes standard with a hybrid engine that returns up to 42 mpg highway. This figure is close to double the highway fuel economy of every other model we're considering. In fact, the only other truck here that can even break 30 mpg highway -- and just barely at that -- is the Santa Cruz.
If you want more power, we're ready to help you upgrade to the available turbo engine that offers serious muscle in a truck this size. You can't choose a different powertrain in the Honda Ridgeline, a one-engine wonder that feels a decade behind the times compared to the gas or hybrid Maverick. Illinois truck fans, make this compact Ford pickup your next purchase.

Compare 2025 Ford Maverick Features
Inside and out, the Maverick, for sale nearby, is home to a host of features that are nothing short of ingenious. Take the Standard FLEXBED® Storage System, a unique modular cargo bed solution that lets you configure the bed to secure haul just about any cargo. Go ahead and haul home that new refrigerator, dirt bike or sofa -- your Maverick can handle it. As for the other trucks here? Securing your load might not be as easy, seeing as none of these models offer anything comparable to the Maverick FLEXBED® Storage System.
In the cabin, the innovation continues, and nothing is more indicative of this than the 13.2-inch touchscreen that comes standard on all trims. It's a huge display -- bigger than everything else here, including the 12.3-inch unit in the Santa Cruz -- and the crisp graphics and beautiful renderings make it a joy to engage with.
As you focus on the 2025 Maverick infotainment settings, the Ford Co-Pilot360® system is keeping an extra eye on your surroundings. It's exactly the kind of advanced driver-assistance tech you want on your side when going anywhere with your Maverick in El Paso.
