I would not give that ad verbiage too much credit since that isn't even a 2025 truck pictured. 🤷‍♂️

It's not a different model or trim, just an advertising moniker.
It could be called the Champion (of the small truck class) and it would be the same truck. ;)

Is it a 2025 with the old front end?
computer guy who works in ad-tech here! A large, front-and-center advertisement image (or a central component of a flyer ad like this one) is sometimes referred to as a "hero" (as in it is the hero of the ad, it brings your attention)

my guess is that the part where it says "Hero" was not actually meant to be visible and was one sort of mistake or another

How do you reprimand, discipline or fire AI for stupid mistakes? 🤨

It was supposed to say, "BOTTOM TEXT." :)

It's so you have this playing in your head when you see another Maverick on the road.

I captured that first screenshot two days ago and still saw the same ad this morning when I started this thread. Looks like whoever is in charge of the ad saw the post this morning and fixed it. Kinda. Still not a 2025 though.

They also decided that the MSRP wasn't actually all that attractive (its isn't anymore after being promoted so heavily as "under $20k") and replaced it with a cash back incentive.

"Hey Ted - did you check your ad copy before sending it up, we're supposed to be pushing the non-hybrids, and your price ain't for the hybrid. Also, what's a hero?"
"oh crap!"
