By the Nineties, factories were doing rods with beds, including Lightning SVT and Syclone, followed by RAM SRT-10 and SSR a decade later. ### Since then, lifted overland race derivatives have dominated performance light trucks. Yet, this year, the Blue Oval turns black for a revival of the street truck genre, co-opting the name from the Mexican market "Wolf" F-Series designation. It was time, then, for [Roadblazing.com](https://www.roadblazing.com/) editors to strap into the street autocross purposed **2025 Ford Maverick Lobo,** for a Re- Drive of the compact urban pickup truck**.** ## ### **2025 FORD MAVERICK 2.0T LOBO AWD** Power & Drivetrain: - 2.0L turbocharged DI + PFI 16V DOHC I-4 petrol engine - 250 net horsepower @ 5500 r.p.m. - 277 pound feet torque @ 3000 r.p.m. - 7-speed torque converter planetary automatic transaxle - On demand all-wheel drive, PTU to locking viscous multi-clutch center differential, 100:0% nominal to 20:80% front to rear maximum torque split w/ front ABS torque vectoring open axle (vs. *open axle front wheel drive*) - Fuel Economy: **25** **M**iles **P**er **G**allon, 495 miles maximum range - ♦ Towing: 2000 lbs. ; ♦ Payload: 1o45 lbs. #### 2025 Ford Maverick 2.0T Lobo AWD specifications: Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP): ***$42,445** \= as tested ****2025 Ford Maverick 2.0T Lobo AWD** ($42,345 Maverick Lobo AWD) ****Powertrain - petrol**: 2.0L liquid-to-air intercooled, turbocharged DI 16V DOHC I-4 ****Horsepower petrol / Torque** (pound - feet): 250 hp (184 kW) / 277 lb-ft @ 3000 r.p.m. ****Drivetrain / Final drive ratio**: 7-speed torque converter automatic planetary transaxle, full-time viscous coupled center differential all-wheel drive - 80:20%- to 20:80%, 50:50% nominal F:R e-axle torque split ****Drive Modes**: (6) Slippery, Eco, Normal, Sport, Trailer-Tow, Lobo (track) ****Chassis**: - Front strut, twin-tube damper; Rear multi-link trailing arm independent suspension, mono-tube, hydraulic rebound stop; F+R: coil springs, stabilizer bars - Front 13.2" vented rotors, 2-piston floating calipers; Rear 11.9" vented rotors, 1-piston floating calipers - Goodyear Wrangler Territory, 19" gloss black spoke alloy wheels, front & rear 225/55-H, under-body full spare tire ****Dimensions**: - LxWxH: ****200.9" x 72.6"** (83.5" w/ mirrors) **x 67.7"** - Wheelbase: 121.1" inches - Ground clearance: 7.4" inches - Curb weight: 3814 pounds ****Off-Road Clearances** (degrees): - Approach angle: 19.00 - Departure angle: 19.30 - Break-over angle: 17.00 ****Capacities - Cabin**: - Headroom (Rows 1, 2, inches): 38.0," 39.6" - Legroom (Rows 1, 2, inches): 42.8," 36.9" - Cargo - Row 2: 2.6 (below seat) - 47.1 (seat raised) cubic feet ****Capacities - Cargo Bed**: - Bed length (inches): 54.4" - Bed width (inches): 42.6" (at wheelhouse) - Bed height (inches): 20.3" ****Towing**: 2000 pounds ****Payload**: 1045 pounds ****Fuel Economy** \- observed (miles per gallon): ****25** ****m.p.g.** ****Range** (maximum): 495 miles (16.5 gallons) ****Performance**: 0-60 miles/ hour: 6.8 seconds; Top speed: 125 m.p.h.
