Meet The Redesigned Ford Maverick in “Tinted Ruby Red” Finish
The redesigned Ford Maverick arrives as a more assertive, more technologically advanced version of Ford’s compact pickup. The new Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat gives the truck an unmistakable presence on the road. The Maverick retains its city-friendly size, standard hybrid powertrain, and attainable pricing—while layering on a bolder look, more capability, and a richer feature set.
Visually, the update is most obvious at the nose. The front fascia is reworked with a taller, more squared-off grille design that varies by trim, flanked by new lighting signatures that stretch horizontally into the fenders. Higher trims gain LED running lights and darker headlamp accents, while fresh wheel designs and subtle changes to the front bumper give the truck a wider, more planted stance. Against this sharper sheetmetal, a deep, tinted red reads less like a novelty color and more like a natural match for the Maverick’s truck-forward proportions.
Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat is a multistage paint that uses layered metallic and tinted clear coats to create depth and sparkle. Dealer color guides describe it as the richest of the Maverick’s nine exterior options, with intricate light play that can look like a polished gemstone in sun and a darker, wine-red shade at dusk. The effect suits drivers who want a compact pickup that stands out without veering into loud or fluorescent territory.
Color availability charts show Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat offered as an extra-cost option on a range of Maverick trims, including popular XLT and Lariat models. It is paired with a neutral Black Onyx interior on many builds, and it works especially well with appearance packages that bring black wheels, dark grille inserts, and body-color door handles, letting the deep red bodywork contrast cleanly with darker details. In a lineup that also includes work-ready whites and grays, the tinted red truck naturally becomes the visual centerpiece on a dealer lot.
Underneath that color, the Maverick keeps its practical SuperCrew cab and 4.5-foot bed, with seating for five and the clever FLEXBED system that uses molded slots and tie-downs to make it easy to divide the bed into zones or support bikes, lumber, and cargo boxes. Ford’s product page emphasizes how the compact footprint—just over 199 inches long—helps the truck fit easily in standard garages and tight urban parking spaces while still offering the utility of a true pickup bed. In Ruby Red, the combination reads as equal parts city runabout and weekend gear hauler. (Ford)
Powertrain options help define how that red Maverick behaves day to day. A 2.5-liter full hybrid four-cylinder is standard, now available with all-wheel drive for 2025, while a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine offers a more traditional turbo-gasoline alternative with higher towing capacity when properly equipped. Ford’s competitive-compare materials highlight a best-in-class EPA-estimated 42 mpg city rating for the hybrid and a maximum tow rating of up to 4,000 pounds when the EcoBoost engine is paired with the appropriate package, giving the small truck real work credentials despite its modest footprint.
The cabin redesign pushes the Maverick closer to its larger truck siblings. Every model receives a 13.2-inch center touchscreen running SYNC 4 plus an 8-inch digital instrument cluster, consolidating climate, audio, navigation, and vehicle settings into a clean, tablet-like interface. New color and material choices, along with additional storage solutions, give the interior a more polished feel, while over-the-air update capability helps the system stay current over time, an appealing trait for owners who plan to keep the truck for many years.

Safety and driver-assistance technology grow in parallel with the screen size. The latest Maverick expands its Ford Co-Pilot360 offerings with available Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with lane centering, Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Road Edge Detection, and an available 360-degree camera system that simplifies low-speed maneuvers in tight spaces or on crowded job sites. These additions mean that a Ruby Red Maverick can serve as both an everyday commuter and a family vehicle with a safety net comparable to many crossovers and sedans.
Pricing materials position the 2025 Maverick with a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price in the mid-$20,000 range before destination and fees, keeping it an attainable entry point into the truck world even as technology and safety content increase. For shoppers who appreciate the idea of a compact pickup that drives like a well-mannered crossover, offers real bed utility, and wears a finish that looks equally sharp under city lights or in a driveway, the redesigned Maverick in Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat presents a compelling blend of practicality and personality.
