Blog Article
The compact truck market is heating up in 2025, and the Ford Maverick continues to make waves as a smart, stylish, and practical option for drivers who want it all—without going over budget. As more Canadians look for vehicles that combine fuel efficiency, capability, and modern design, the Ford Maverick remains a front-runner.
Whether you're an urban commuter, weekend adventurer, or small business owner, the 2025 Maverick has something to offer. Here’s a closer look at the top 5 features that make the Ford Maverick stand out this year—and why it might just be the perfect pickup for you. If you’re considering one, don’t miss our Alberta Buyer’s Guide to the Ford Maverick to see why it's one of the best compact trucks on the market.
1. Hybrid Powertrain as Standard
The Ford Maverick is the only standard full hybrid pickup in Canada, and that alone makes it a standout in 2025. Its 2.5L Atkinson-cycle hybrid engine delivers an impressive combination of performance and efficiency. This engine pairs with an electric motor and a continuously variable transmission (CVT) to give drivers 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque.
What’s more, the Maverick achieves up to 5.9 L/100 km in city driving, making it one of the most fuel-efficient pickups ever made. For Alberta drivers who need to navigate both highways and city streets, the Maverick is a budget-friendly alternative to gas-guzzling full-size trucks.
Whether you're commuting from Red Deer to Calgary or running errands around Olds, the Maverick saves you money at the pump—without compromising performance.
2. Smart & Versatile FLEXBED™ System
Ford has reimagined the truck bed with the FLEXBED™ system, turning the Maverick’s cargo space into a flexible, do-it-yourself dream. The 4.5-foot bed may be compact, but it's packed with innovation.
Here’s what makes the FLEXBED™ system special:
- Multiple tie-downs and slots to customize your cargo space.
- Pre-threaded holes to allow easy installation of racks or dividers.
- Built-in 12V and optional 110V outlets to power tools, camping gear, or tailgating accessories.
Whether you're hauling gear for a weekend camping trip in the Rockies or setting up a mobile workstation for your landscaping business, the Maverick’s bed adapts to your needs. Plus, with a payload capacity of 1,500 lbs and up to 4,000 lbs of towing (when equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost® and towing package), it punches above its weight class. Explore why the Maverick was named Alberta’s Best Compact Truck—thanks in part to this innovative bed system.
3. Compact Size, Big Capability
One of the Maverick’s biggest advantages in 2025 is its city-friendly size. At just over 199 inches long, it's shorter than most midsize trucks, making it easy to park, maneuver, and drive in tight spaces.
Despite its compact profile, the Maverick still delivers serious capability:
- Available all-wheel drive (AWD) for confident handling in snow and rain.
- Optional 2.0L EcoBoost® engine with 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque for more power and towing.
- Towing capacity of up to 4,000 lbs, ideal for small trailers, boats, or utility loads.
For Albertans who deal with changing road conditions—from icy highways in winter to muddy roads in spring—the Maverick is a compact truck that’s ready for real Canadian driving.

4. Modern Interior with High-Tech Features
Step inside the 2025 Ford Maverick and you’ll be surprised by how upscale and tech-forward it feels. Ford has struck a perfect balance between functionality and comfort, making the cabin a place where you’ll actually want to spend time.
Key interior and technology highlights include:
- 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ as standard.
- FordPass™ Connect with Wi-Fi hotspot capability for up to 10 devices.
- Available SYNC® 3 infotainment system for seamless navigation, music, and voice control.
- Ergonomic seating and smart storage compartments, including rear under-seat storage for tools, groceries, or outdoor gear.
Whether you’re commuting or road-tripping through Alberta’s scenic landscapes, the Maverick’s cabin delivers both comfort and convenience.
5. Affordable Pricing Without Compromise
Perhaps the most impressive feature of the 2025 Ford Maverick is its affordable starting price, especially considering all the value it offers. Starting well below the cost of traditional full-size pickups, the Maverick is accessible to first-time buyers, young professionals, and families looking for a capable second vehicle.
But don’t let the price fool you—there’s no compromise here. Even the base Maverick includes:
- A fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain.
- Advanced safety features like Pre-Collision Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking, and a rearview camera.
- Modern tech, smart design, and real truck utility.
With several trims to choose from, including the value-packed XL, mid-range XLT, and premium Lariat, there’s a Maverick to suit every budget and lifestyle.
Bonus: Designed for Canadian Drivers
Ford didn’t just make the Maverick for American roads—it’s well-suited for life in Alberta. From heated seats and steering wheel (available on higher trims) to optional remote start and Ford Co-Pilot360™ safety tech, the Maverick can handle Canada’s harsh winters and unpredictable conditions.
Plus, its compact frame makes it easier to navigate narrow city streets, while AWD and EcoBoost power mean it can handle rural terrain, gravel roads, and icy driveways with confidence.
