The 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning vs. the 2025 Ford Maverick: Which Truck Offers More Utility?
Hybrid Might vs. Electric Muscle
The 2025 Maverick’s standard 2.5L hybrid engine delivers up to 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque, which is plenty for most daily driving needs. It’s also incredibly efficient, delivering a staggering 42 mpg in the city. It’s an excellent choice for those who are looking for more efficiency out of their vehicles without having to change over to electric.
The 2025 F-150 Lightning, on the other hand, boasts up to 580 horsepower and 775 lb-ft of torque on select models. The Lariat model boasts a 0-60 time of just 3.8 seconds, only 0.1 second slower than the top-trim Dark Horse Mustang.

Compact Capability vs Full-Size Utility
The Maverick is meant to offer a compelling amount of utility in a compact frame. A payload of up to 1,500 pounds makes it easy to haul heavy gear or goods, and a maximum towing capability of up to 4,000 pounds makes hauling a boat or camper easy with the available 4K Tow Package. It also features available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist technology for easy hookups and drop-offs.
