2025 Truck Fuel Economy Comparison
Finding the Perfect Balance of Truck Power and Fuel Efficiency for Your Phoenix Lifestyle: Maverick, Ranger or F-150
When you're navigating the busy streets of Chandler or commuting between Gilbert and Phoenix, fuel economy matters more than ever. The good news? Ford's 2025 truck lineup delivers impressive MPG ratings without sacrificing the capability you need for Arizona adventures.
The Clear Winner: 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid
For drivers prioritizing maximum fuel efficiency, the 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid stands unmatched in the truck world. This compact powerhouse delivers an EPA-estimated 42 MPG city and 35 MPG highway with front-wheel drive, making it more efficient than most sedans.
Even with the available all-wheel drive system, the Maverick Hybrid maintains impressive efficiency at 40 MPG city and 34 MPG highway. For Chandler commuters dealing with stop-and-go traffic on Loop 101, those city MPG numbers translate to real savings at the pump.
The Maverick's hybrid system seamlessly combines a 2.5-liter engine with an electric motor, delivering 191 horsepower while sipping fuel. Plus, Ford upgraded the hybrid transmission for 2025, allowing it to tow up to 4,000 pounds—matching the capability of the gas engine.
Mid-Size Efficiency: 2025 Ford Ranger MPG Ratings
When you need more capability than the Maverick but still want reasonable fuel economy, the 2025 Ford Ranger delivers a solid balance. That balance is a big reason that the Ranger drove away with 2025 North American Truck of the Year at the prestigious NACTOY Awards.
The Ranger's turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine achieves 21 MPG city and 26 MPG highway with rear-wheel drive, or 19 MPG city and 26 MPG highway with four-wheel drive.
For Gilbert residents who need weekend off-road capability for Arizona trails, the Ranger's 4WD system provides confidence while maintaining respectable efficiency. Annual fuel costs are estimated at $2,050 for RWD models and $2,150 for 4WD variants.
The Ranger also offers a more powerful 2.7-liter V6 option and the performance-focused Raptor with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, though these sacrifice some efficiency for increased capability.
Full-Size Power: 2025 Ford F-150 Fuel Economy Champions
Don't count out the full-size F-150 when considering fuel-efficient trucks. The 2025 F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid leads the full-size segment with an EPA-estimated 22 MPG city and 24 MPG highway, delivering a combined 23 MPG rating. It has excellent payload and towing capacity despite its fuel-sipping ways.
For the gasoline engines, the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 offers the best non-hybrid efficiency at 20 MPG city and 25 MPG highway with rear-wheel drive. Even the available four-wheel drive versions maintain competitive ratings.
For longer trips to Flagstaff or Sedona, the F-150's larger fuel tank and efficient engines provide excellent range. The PowerBoost Hybrid offers up to 704 miles per tank, perfect for Arizona road trips.
Note: EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings. Actual mileage will vary based on driving conditions, habits, and vehicle maintenance. Fuel economy figures based on 2025 model year vehicles. See dealer for complete details on available incentives and financing options.
What Makes New Ford Trucks So Efficient?
Ford's commitment to fuel efficiency goes beyond just hybrid technology. Advanced features across the lineup include:
EcoBoost Technology. Twin-turbocharged engines deliver power when needed while maintaining efficiency during normal driving.
Advanced Aerodynamics. From the Maverick's compact design to the F-150's active grille shutters, Ford optimizes airflow to reduce drag.
Lightweight Materials. Aluminum construction in the F-150 and efficient design in the Maverick reduce weight without sacrificing strength.
Smart Transmission Technology. The Maverick's new HF55 hybrid transmission and the F-150's 10-speed automatic optimize power delivery for maximum efficiency.
Ford Tough. Living in Chandler and Gilbert means dealing with desert heat, which can impact fuel economy. Ford's trucks are engineered to maintain efficiency even in challenging conditions.
Finding Your Perfect Fuel-Efficient Ford Truck
Your ideal Ford truck depends on your specific needs:
Choose the Maverick Hybrid if: You prioritize maximum fuel economy, primarily drive in city conditions, and need occasional truck capability for home projects or outdoor gear.
