As the popular pickup’s first midcycle refresh, the 2025 Ford Maverick debuts significant updates, including refreshed face, updated interior, and revamped powertrain lineup. Part of those changes include the deletion of four sets of wheels, which have been slashed from the options list for the compact pickup.
The 2025 Ford Maverick no longer offers the 17-inch Machined Face Carbonized Gray Painted wheel, 18-inch Machined Face Bright aluminum wheel, 18-inch Machined Face Black Painted aluminum wheel, or 18-inch Unique Machined Face Ebony aluminum wheel. The 17-inch Carbonized Gray wheels were previously standard on the 2024 Maverick XLT, while the 18-inch Machined Face Bright aluminum wheels were standard on the Maverick Lariat.

The 18-inch Machined Face Black aluminum wheels, meanwhile, were optional on the Lariat trim. Finally, the 18-inch Unique Machined Face Ebony wheels were included as part of the Black Appearance Package, an optional extra for XLT and Lariat trimmed models.

In their place, the 2025 Ford Maverick gains three new wheels, all 19 inches, as reported by Ford Authority. This includes the 19-inch Black Painted aluminum wheel, the 19-inch Turbofan-styled Black Painted aluminum wheel, and the 19-inch aluminum wheel.
In addition to the aforementioned wheel options, the 2025 Ford Maverick drops four exterior colors that were previously available on the pre-refresh model. However, it does regain the hybrid powertrain as standard, while the turbocharged 2.0L I4 EcoBoost engine is optional.
As Ford Authority previously reported, the Maverick Hybrid can now be paired with all-wheel drive in XL, XLT, and Lariat models, a first for these three trims. However, the compact pickup ditched the EcoBoost front-wheel-drive (FWD) variant. It also gains the all-new, sporty, track-focused Lobo variant, a first for the compact pickup, and that means it gets some new optional packages as well.
The 2025 Ford Maverick starts at $26,295, excluding the $1,595 for destination and delivery, making it significantly more expensive than the outgoing model.

What used to be affordable is gone for more price gouging.
Exactly. Gotta pay for those EVs and Jimmy’s racing addiction somehow.
What are the four Mavericks colors that were dropped for 2025 and what if any replaced them?
The “refreshed face” does not look refreshing. Previous model years front face was far superior. Design oversight.
Agree. It’s not an oversight, it’s a misstep. Not uncommon these days. And they don’t care.
I’d like to see the Lobo Turbo-Fan wheels placed on an all terrain tire & made available on the AWD models.
But of course, that will not be an option.
why don’t we drop all the changes,go back to what the maverick was suppose to be as it was originally offered get rid of all the needless press announcements and bring back the 1995 price we do not need $45,ooo.oo mavericks
Yes the 2025 front end is ugly. I own a 2022 Ford Maverick. I have been a Ford man all my life, but I guess I will wait to see what Toyota’s new Stout look like ! Why is Ford ruining the looks of a good looking truck ?
Ford will price themselves right out of business.The small truck that was affordable is no longer.The other truck companies will eat lunch FORD!
Why did Ford Ruin the front of the Maverick ? I have a 2022 Maverick. I have been a Ford man all my life. I will be looking at the 2025 Toyota Stout Pickup very closely.
Couldn’t agree more. I have a 2022 Mav too. Glad i hot before the young inexperienced designers hot ahold of it
I love my 23 XLT Hybrid , that is until the battery goes dead for the umpteenth time
I was looking for a small pickup that would seat four. I liked the idea of a hybrid, however Ford has now made the hybrid an option, upping the price. Besides changing the styling and the grill, they have dropped AWD. all making the less well equipped Maverick now to start out around $27,000. When it was introduced in the 2022 model year, the hybrid started out around $20,000.My neighbor has a 2025 XL Hybrid, besides having problems with the battery, he says that he doesn’t get near the gas milage that he was promised. I have for now, decided to make repairs on my 1995 Ford Ranger, and look around at some other small pickup options.
According to this article as well as other sources… hybrid standard engine

Once the cheap mini truck. Now priced at a midsized. Hybrid has had issues for years with intermittent power draw that kills the battery over time. Goes into power save mode. No dome lights, no radio unless starting vehicle and rmote and app won’t function. Forcing you to trickle charge battery to keep it alive and having normal functions. Ford says a fix coming in 2025, meanwhile your left out to carry a jump pack for backup. If you do mainly local driving engine never reaches full operating temp creating condensation in the motor and exhaust. Oil gets sludged up and water comes out of exhaust similar to but much more than when you run A/C. Good luck.
Not midsized at all. Still a compact class. Zero issues with my 23 Hybrid I had for 28,000 miles. Sold it because I was offered more than I paid new. It was perfect for the 13 months I had it.
No mid size models start less than 32k. Not even the featureless Frontier.
Far cry from the starting price of a Maverick
I have a 2024 XL …11 months old
Never a battery problem
I believe the problem stems from being hooked to a Wi-Fi system
I am not hooked to Wi-Fi and never will on my his truck
Ford has raised the price $6,000 while making the standard hybrid engine an extra cost. People will pay extra for American quality but Ford shouldn’t abuse their customers with a 30% price increase.
Article says hybrid standard engine for 2025. As do other sources
I would rather have 15″ wheels. Never been a fan of the ever increasing size (and prices) of wheels and tires.
It should read: 2025 Ford Maverick Drops the ugly new face
The Maverick model is the F150. They call it it’s little brother. That’s what makes the Mav so attractive. Somebody had a stroke (as in brain hemorage) of genius and hired inexperienced engineers, so to save face, their promotion the unpromotable truck. Looks foreign and cheap.
