2025 Ford Ranger

The 2025 Ford Maverick is a small-sized pickup that’s a standout in its class, as it combines a unique design with exceptional fuel efficiency and first-class entertainment and driver-assist features.

Muscle Meets Fuel Efficiency

Along with both available four-wheel and all-wheel drive, the 2025 Maverick offers two engine options, depending on which trim level you go with: a 2.0-liter gas engine and a 2.5-liter hybrid one. The gas engine delivers 238 horsepower and has fuel-optimizing EcoBoost technology, while the hybrid engine produces 191 horses. Regardless of which one you choose, both get impressive mileage, with the gas engine getting up to 30 MPG on a full tank and the hybrid up to 42 MPG.

Stylish and Work-Ready Outside

Designed to make work easier, this truck has a unique, configurable bed called FLEXBED that includes a cargo management system. There’s also available spray-in bedliner, a bed lighting system, multiple tonneau cover options, and a standard multi-position tailgate. Many trim levels come with both rain-sensitive wipers and heated side mirrors for tackling tough weather. Also stylish, this edition offers plenty of standout and subtle paint colors to choose from, like Desert Sand, Velocity Blue Metallic, and Shadow Black.

Comfy and Upscale On the Inside

Standard interior amenities that come with this pickup include air conditioning and power windows, as well as a particulate air filter. Select upper trims come with dual-zone climate control and a heating function for the front seats, and seating fabric options range from cloth to ActiveX material among the many trim levels. Both an ambient lighting system and a power moonroof are available, and the under-seat storage bins are sure to be appreciated when hauling cargo.

Advanced Technology Features

This edition also boasts plenty of advanced tech features, like the SYNC 4 infotainment system with its largest-in-class 13.2-inch center display, a six-speaker audio system, and multiple 12-volt outlets, all of which come standard. There’s also an available premium B&O audio system that has eight speakers, and you can leave smartphone charging cables at home when opting for the wireless charging pad. All models have standard Sirius Satellite Radio as well, which works with a subscription.

Convenient Driver Assistance

Taking driver assistance to the next level, this truck comes with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Pre-Collision Assist, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, and, for reverse parking and hitching to trailers, the Rear View Camera. Some trims also include Adaptive Cruise Control with Speed Sign Recognition, BLIS (Blind Spot Information System), and a 360-degree camera system that provides split-screen, ground-level, and bird’s-eye visuals.

Come see this work-ready and reliable pickup at our dealership while it’s still here and take it for a test drive by contacting us at Steet Ponte Ford in Yorkville, NY today.

Touring the Siegenthaler Center: A Home Away From Home

During our visit, we were given a tour of the Siegenthaler Center, a unique four-bed end-of-life residence that adjoins the main Hospice building on Middle Settlement Road in New Hartford. Opened in February 2005, the Siegenthaler Center offers a home-like environment where patients and their families receive expert medical care and emotional support during life’s most delicate moments. It was a moving experience to witness firsthand the love, dignity, and comfort that Hospice brings to those in their care.

Proud to Give Back to the Greater Utica Area

This donation is part of Steet Ponte Auto Group’s continued commitment to giving back to organizations that uplift and strengthen the Utica and New Hartford communities. We are deeply inspired by the work that Hospice & Palliative Care of New York’s Mohawk Valley Region does every day, and we’re honored to support their mission.

Whether it’s through charitable giving, local partnerships, or community events, Steet Ponte Auto Group is proud to be more than just a group of car dealerships in Yorkville, Herkimer, and Johnstown—we’re your neighbors, friends, and supporters of causes that truly matter.
