Capability
Slim Footprint
The fact of the matter is that the 2025 Maverick Hybrid is a smaller, lighter and more maneuverable platform than its Toyota competitor. That means the Ford hybrid truck is easier to move around on crowded streets, while still providing plenty of useful capability.
Fuel Economy
Fuel efficiency is one area where the 2025 Maverick Hybrid outshines its Toyota competitor. The current Maverick Hybrid can record 5.6 L/100 km in the city and 6.7 L/100 km on the highway. Toyota Tacoma Hybrid owners will have to deal with nearly twice the fuel consumption.
Design
Passenger-Friendly Interior
As capable as the 2025 Maverick Hybrid is as a midsize pickup truck, it works just as well as a passenger-friendly platform. Up to five people can comfortably ride in the 2025 Maverick Hybrid. Independent reviews mentioned the Tacoma has a rather cramped backseat.
Convenient Storage
The same rear seats that can comfortably hold people can be easily transformed into a convenient cargo area. Functional small-item storage compartments are installed in the front doors.
Technology
Connected Technology
Both hybrid trucks take full advantage of available connectivity technology. Access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard in the 2025 Maverick Hybrid and its Toyota Tacoma competitor.
