Ford has revealed the Maverick Lobo as the new trim level for modern street truck builds. Lobo is the street-performance version of Maverick, giving customers a new, differentiated model with the same value and versatility.
When Maverick designer Josh Blundo joined Ford in 2019, he saw a clay model of the Maverick and noticed its potential. He began modifying the truck with a wide body, wings, front splitter and wheels.
His idea inspired a special build by Tucci Hot Rods that drew praise at the 2021 SEMA Show. Blundo and the team later got the green light and began designing Lobo.
At the same time, engineers like Keith Daugherty began tweaking the springs and suspension and testing components from other Ford performance-oriented vehicles to help create an authentic on-road performance truck.
The Maverick Lobo offers a lowered ride height and an on-road tuned suspension with tuned shocks and a 2-liter EcoBoost engine tested to Built Ford Tough standards and backed by a factory warranty.
The Lobo’s ride height is a half-inch lower in the front and 1.12 inches lower in the rear compared to standard Maverick, and roof height is 0.8 inches lower.
Tuned steering comes from torque vectoring through a twin-clutch rear drive unit and bigger, enhanced brakes with dual-piston front brake calipers used on the Focus ST sold in Europe. Inspired by drifting and autocross, there’s also a new Lobo drive mode, which improves cornering performance, grip and stability, helping to minimize understeer.
And to ensure Lobo is ready to handle demanding performance driving, Ford also upgraded the cooling system. It utilizes the larger radiator and fan from Maverick’s 4K towing package and a transmission oil cooler.
Unique front style, painted rear bumper and rocker moldings contrast with a black-painted roof and 19-inch black wheels to set the Lobo apart. The interior features inspiration from street art that designer Kristen Keenan observed in her travels and experiences she gained in designing athletic shoes.
The interior features Grabber Blue and Electric Lime accent stitching, a graffiti-inspired overprint on the seats as a nod to street culture, and the Lobo name embossed into the black driver and passenger seats.
To keep it easy for customers to select their Maverick Lobo canvas and get started with their own personalization, the truck comes in two configurations: Standard and High.
Standard configuration comes with everything described above, while High configuration adds other comforts like heated steering wheel and seats, Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0 driver-assist technologies, a 360-degree camera, spray-in bedliner, moon roof, and, beginning early in 2025, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
Ordering for the 2025 Maverick Lobo began Aug.1, with deliveries starting in early 2025, and late availability on High configuration models.
