Lasco Ford - How the 2025 Ford Maverick Enhances Everyday Flexibility in Howell , MI
Looking for a compact truck that handles weekday errands, weekend projects, and trailhead runs without taking over your driveway? The 2025 Maverick® brings a smart balance of utility and convenience that fits seamlessly into daily life in and around Howell, MI. With hybrid versatility now available with AWD and the punchy confidence of available EcoBoost® power, this pickup delivers the composure you want in traffic and the traction you appreciate when weather or road conditions change. Inside, the largest standard center screen in its class and wireless smartphone compatibility put apps, maps, and music front and center, while the cabin’s practical layout makes room for friends and gear.
Two features stand out for local drivers: the FLEXBED® Storage System and the Multi-Position Tailgate. Together, they turn the bed into a flexible workspace and gear hub that adapts to projects, hobbies, and weekend escapes. Tie-downs that double as bottle openers, modular slots for dividers, and compatibility with available Ford Accessories make DIY creativity straightforward — and that half-closed tailgate position lines up perfectly with the wheel wells to secure longer items flat. Below, we highlight how these innovations make daily use easier and more enjoyable.
- FLEXBED versatility: Modular slots welcome dividers, racks, and available Ford Accessories so you can organize tools, camping gear, or home improvement supplies without hassle.
- Multi-Position Tailgate: Lock it half-closed to align with the wheel wells and tie down lumber, ladders, or boards flat — stability made simple.
- Smart tie-downs: Built-in points secure cargo and cleverly double as bottle openers when the job is done and it’s time to relax.
- Class-leading screen: The largest standard center display in the segment keeps navigation and media within easy reach, no juggling required.
- Hybrid AWD option: New for 2025, electrified efficiency teams with available all-wheel traction for confident four-season driving.
- EcoBoost power: Available EcoBoost® performance supplies brisk response for highway merges and getaways.
For many customers, the question isn’t whether a compact truck can handle the workload — it’s whether it can make everyday life easier. The Maverick® answers that with a cabin designed around straightforward controls and comfortable seating for five, all wrapped in a footprint that slips into tight parking spots around town. Fiber-cement boards for a deck refresh, bikes for a Saturday ride, camping bins for a quick overnighter — the bed and tailgate help you secure what you need without extra trips or elaborate tie-downs. And when the season changes, available AWD adds confidence across rainy commutes and light-snow detours.
Tech is another thoughtful advantage. With wireless smartphone compatibility, you can leave the cords at home, cue directions, and pick up where your playlist left off. The large center screen keeps directions and camera views clear, and intuitive menus reduce the learning curve so day one feels familiar. It’s a smart mix of features that save time, reduce clutter, and make every trip feel streamlined.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is the FLEXBED® Storage System difficult to customize?
No — it’s designed for quick, practical customization. Modular slots accept dividers, and available Ford Accessories expand options for racks and organization. You can tailor the setup for tools during the week and switch to outdoor gear for the weekend without a lot of effort.
How does the Multi-Position Tailgate help with longer cargo?
When locked half-closed, the top edge of the tailgate lines up with the wheel wells, creating a flat support plane that makes it easier to secure longer items like boards or ladders. Tie-downs then help you stabilize the load.
What stands out about the Maverick® technology suite?
The largest standard center screen in its class and wireless smartphone compatibility lead the way, keeping your apps and maps easy to see and use. The result is simplified control over directions, calls, and music without cluttering the cabin.
Does the 2025 model expand capability for winter driving?
Yes — hybrid versatility with AWD is new for 2025, adding the confidence of available all-wheel traction to an already capable compact truck platform.
