Drivers looking for a capable, versatile, and efficient pickup at Bowditch Ford will find two excellent options in the 2025 Ford Maverick and 2025 Ford Ranger. While both trucks deliver outstanding performance, advanced technology, and practical utility, they cater to different needs. Whether you're searching for a compact and efficient truck for city driving or a midsize workhorse ready for tough tasks, our Newport Ford dealership near Virginia Beach has the perfect Ford pickup for you.
Performance and Capability
The 2025 Ford Maverick is built for efficiency and practicality, making it a great option for drivers who need a pickup without the bulk of a full-size truck. It comes standard with a 2.5-liter hybrid engine, delivering impressive fuel economy and smooth performance. For those who need more power, the available 2.0-liter EcoBoost® turbocharged engine provides extra capability, including optional all-wheel drive for better handling year round.
The 2025 Ford Ranger, as a midsize truck, offers more robust power and towing capability. It comes standard with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost® turbocharged engine, producing ample horsepower and torque. For those who need even greater performance, an available 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 provides extra muscle, making the Ranger ideal for towing heavier loads or tackling off-road adventures. Paired with advanced 4WD systems, the Ranger is built to handle rugged conditions, making it the better choice for drivers who prioritize power and capability.
Passenger Space and Comfort
Both the Maverick and Ranger provide comfortable cabins, but the Maverick is designed with a more compact layout, making it ideal for those who want a truck that feels easy to maneuver in urban environments. It offers seating for five in a crew cab configuration, with a well-designed interior that emphasizes convenience and modern styling. The Maverick’s thoughtful storage solutions, including under-seat compartments and a flexible rear bench, maximize space efficiency.
The Ranger, being a larger truck, provides more room for passengers on your Yorktown drives, especially in the SuperCrew® cab configuration. It offers additional rear-seat legroom, making it a better option for those who frequently transport passengers. With premium materials available in higher trims and a more spacious feel, the Ranger delivers added comfort for longer drives or worksite commutes around Williamsburg and Suffolk.
Bed Size and Cargo Options
The Ford Maverick comes with a 4.5-foot FlexBed®, which is designed for versatility rather than sheer size. This innovative bed features multiple tie-down points, slots for customizable storage, and a 1,500-pound payload capacity, making it great for small projects, outdoor gear, or weekend trips. For drivers who prioritize convenience over maximum cargo-hauling capability, the Maverick’s bed design is a practical and efficient solution.
The Ford Ranger, being a midsize truck, offers more cargo space with two bed length options. The 5-foot bed provides a balance of maneuverability and hauling capability, while the 6-foot bed is ideal for those who need extra room for work equipment or larger loads. With a higher payload capacity than the Maverick, the Ranger is the better choice for those who frequently transport heavy materials or large items.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Both the 2025 Maverick and 2025 Ranger come equipped with Ford’s latest driver-assistance technologies through Ford Co-Pilot360™. Standard features include automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and a rearview camera, ensuring a safer driving experience.
The Ranger, as the larger truck, offers additional safety features in its higher trims, such as adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, and an off-road camera system for enhanced visibility. The Maverick, while still well-equipped, is more focused on urban and everyday driving safety, making it a great option for those who don’t need advanced towing-focused driver aids.
Technology and Connectivity
Technology is a strong suit for both pickups, with Ford equipping each model with modern infotainment and connectivity features. The Maverick comes standard with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and an available premium audio system for an enhanced entertainment experience. Ford’s SYNC® 4 system ensures smooth and responsive interaction with apps, navigation, and voice commands.
The Ranger takes things a step further with an available 12-inch touchscreen and enhanced connectivity options. Higher trims offer a fully digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, and premium audio systems. With its focus on capability, the Ranger also includes tech features that assist with off-road navigation and towing, making it a more tech-forward choice for drivers who need extra functionality.
