2025 Ford Maverick Lobo First Look: A Street Truck Straight From the Factory

The all new Ford Maverick Lobo draws inspiration directly from the lowered street trucks from the '80s and 2000s

Transcript

00:00Hot on the heels of the 2025 Ford Maverick update is this, the new Ford Maverick Lobo,

00:20which draws its inspiration directly from the lower trucks from the mid-80s to early

00:252000s.

00:26And it's dope!

00:28We already have the off-road Maverick Tremor, so why not a sporty street version, right?

00:33A low truck is the name of the game here.

00:35As compared to the standard Maverick, the Lobo rides half an inch lower in the front

00:39and 1.12 inches lower in the rear.

00:43Overall roof height is 0.8 inches lower.

00:45Plus, the body color front and rear bumpers and side skirts are all there to help visually

00:50bring down the truck, too.

00:52There is no change in output from the 2-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder, so those 238 horsepower

00:57and 277 pound-feet of torque figures stick around.

01:01There's a bunch of upgraded performance hardware, though.

01:04The Lobo gets the bigger radiator and fan from the revised-for-2025 4K tow package.

01:10It uses the steering gear from the European Ford Kuga, as well as the front calipers from

01:14the current Focus ST that Europe gets, and we don't.

01:18The brake rotors are slightly larger by 3.5 millimeters, and the upper strut mounts and

01:23steering rack bushings are from the Mustang Mach-E.

01:25The Maverick Tremor's torque-vectoring rear differential also makes its way over.

01:29Instead of the 8-speed transmission, there's a 7-speed with paddle shifters that's better

01:33suited for performance driving.

01:35There's also a Lobo drive mode that Ford says is the one for closed-course driving.

01:40It minimizes understeer while also boosts stability, grip, and cornering.

01:45You can spec your Maverick Lobo as either Standard or High.

01:49Standard gives you everything we just talked about, while High adds a bunch of technological

01:53creature comforts like driver assist, a 360-degree camera, moonroof, and, starting next year,

01:59Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist.

02:02Surprisingly, for the amount of truck you get anyway, Lobo prices are reasonable.

02:07The first Lobo model available will start at $42,090, and a more affordable one with

02:11a later launch date will start at $36,656.

02:16Order books for the 2025 Ford Maverick Lobo open on August 1st, and deliveries are anticipated

02:22to start in early 2025.
