2025 Ford Maverick Lobo: A Stylish Street Truck Revival

It’s been at least 25 years since street trucks were popular, but the genre is getting a revival courtesy of the new 2025 Ford Maverick Lobo. Street trucks were traditionally small or compact pickups lowered and customized for performance, style, or both. The Maverick Lobo hits all the classic mini-truckin’ marks.

The Lobo arrives as part of the Maverick’s thorough refresh for 2025, which also brings an AWD hybrid powertrain, tons of new tech, and more. Now, let’s talk Lobo.

What Is a Ford Maverick Lobo?

If you’ve heard of the Ford Lobo before, you’ve probably been to—or are from—Mexico: It’s Spanish for “wolf” and is the name the F-150 is sold under there. The new street truck sits at the top of the range, both being the lowest-riding models in the Maverick family by 0.5 inch up front and 1.1 inches at the rear.

The Lobo was inspired by a Tucci Hot Rods Maverick build for the 2021 SEMA show and brings a similar vibe with a body-color rear bumper and side skirts, a black roof, and its own front fascia and grille. Sweet-looking 19-inch black monobloc-style wheels round out the visuals, though more traditional wheels are also available. The only real missteps concern badging. The Lobo name is cool, but there’s no wordmark or cool wolf’s head on the tailgate.

What’s Different About the Maverick Lobo’s Chassis?

Befitting the Maverick’s affordable lot in life, the Lobo’s performance mission is furthered not by pricey bespoke parts but rather an assemblage of hardware from Ford’s global catalog. Regular Mavericks are already decent-handling trucks, especially the Tremor. Fortunately, the Lobo employs that differential for street duty. This special ability is activated by selecting the chassis’ Lobo mode, which also lowers stability control intervention.

The Other Stuff to Know About the Maverick Lobo

Ford promises plenty of accessories will be available, and the aftermarket will also have a variety to offer. While there’s no word yet on whether Ford plans to offer official performance parts for the Maverick Lobo, many believe this would be a great strategy.

Now, regarding pricing, two versions are available: standard-spec and high-spec. The high-spec model enhances features, including heated steering wheel and seats, a 360-degree camera, sunroof, Co-Pilot360 driver assist tech, spray-in bedliner, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Hitch Assist. The standard-spec Lobo starts at $36,595, an attractive price point for customization options, while the fully kitted model costs $42,090.

Deliveries of both versions are scheduled to begin in early 2025, following the release of the first 2025 Mavericks.
