I'm looking into this truck (Either Hybrid or Normal) I assume the cabin is the same for each. Thank God I'm not the only one that thought these were petty complaints at best. If those are truly the worst parts of the vehicle, that would make it the perfect vehicle.
The noise is meant for the blind folks that need to move about. When hybrids first came out, blind folks were getting creamed because they relied on hearing a car coming, in battery mode, the original hybrids were silent. So, the noise actually saves lives.

Owned my Maverick Lariat with the Lux package for 2 months now and I have none of these issues or small grips 😂 All I have to say is that for the daily commute and helping haul the occasional small thing it’s an amazing truck with good gas mileage. Also, going through your manual or menu’s allows you to troubleshoot many things you might not like
As a fellow cyclist and maverick owner, the water bottle complaint you have is crazy. Literally every single purist squirt water bottle fits In the door cubby like it was a factory intended fit. The door fits them better than any bottle cage I’ve had on any bike 😂
The irony on this strong. If you practiced yoga everyday and were a social media influencer the point would you make would be valid but no, you preach riding your bike everyday. You could have made a point that certain bottles don't fit. The other 4 complaints are valid but you must also understand how the vehicle platform software and firmware work together to drive future development and improvement. ✌️
HydroFlask and Iron Flask 20 and 24oz bottles fit perfectly into the door pockets. They snap into place and probably wouldn't even move if you got into an accident.
For me the rotary shifter (and all rotary shifters) is the biggest fail, especially in an emergency situation like having to quickly reverse if someone is backing and doesn't see you. You have to completely readjust your muscle memory from gear shifters.
Bmw, Mercedes and other premium cars have rotary dials. Hell, my first car had a push button transmission on the dash on left side of steering wheel. 1963 Chrysler in the USA.
First time I walked by my Prius in the middle of the night and it was whirring away, I freaked out and ran to the internet to diagnose the problem, only to learn that it was working as intended.
@@alvareza3 I have a 2006 prius with 184k miles. It easily has another 50-100k miles left in it. If I had to replace it suddenly, I'd order a base model maverick hybrid and commute with my f150 until the maverick shows up. In the meantime, I'll keep driving my prius until Ford or Toyota to come out with a good PHEV or EV with lifepo4 or solid-state batteries.
At 72 years old, every car I've driven, and there have been many, I have always had to release the "emergency" brake manually every time I got in to go somewhere. Even 18 wheelers. Why would/should the Maverick be any different? Just push the button!
The button he is speaking about is not for the emergency brake it’s for the hill hold feature. It uses the emergency brake to hold your vehicle on a hill so it doesn’t roll backwards moving your foot from brake pedal to gas pedal. As soon as you push on gas pedal the brakes automatically release.
Remember when those E-brakes use to freeze up in the winter? I do. Still, we used them........... most of the time. Stores used to have signs in parking lots reminding us to set them. A few cars ended up in traffic.
@G M Not surprising a 72 year old does not know the difference between brake hold, and e brake. They are two completely different things!! Please do your due diligence before commenting fluff!
Clearly you just haven’t gotten used to it yet. Auto hold is something you will definitely get used to. Seatbelt indicator can be turned off. Eco mode doesn’t really do anything anyway, just lugs the engine and kills your AC power. The hybrid noises are mandated from the government. It has to make noise to warn potential pedestrians of your approach when in electric mode. And lastly your water bottle situation is definitely a you problem cause any regular sized bottle I’ve used, fits no problem and like it was designed for it.

Oh the first world problems we have nowadays, I am amazed you didn't say anything about the key. The noise is mandated for all electric/hybrid vehicles, it does it all the time (not just electric mode) up to about 20-25 mph. I have an XLT with the Lux Package and I love it. Yes a few of those you said are a little annoying but I have gotten used to them. I most always just use Normal Mode so the default to Normal doesn't bug me at all.
Well we live in a 1st world country and have our choice of MANY vehicles. He's giving a review. I for one appreciate it. For example, if I buy a hybrid for economy, I really want the vehicle to ALWAYS be in economy mode. (And push a button to stop it) not the other way around.
Yep! The ECO mode and seat belt reminder being the two things that are the most irritating. Absolutely love the truck though. Ordered mine June 9, 2021 and took delivery on February 22, 2022.
Solution 1: Turn car on. Press button. Solution 2: Turn car on. Press button 4 times. Solution 3: (side note): why... wouldn't the brake hold stay on? What if you are on a steeper part. You want it roll back? ...Anyway Press button Solution 4: Oh ok I mean that could be a little annoying maybe. Turn up radio Solution 5: You expect a hydroflask 64 oz to fit? A closed water bottle would work fine.
Of course the Maverick makes you feel like a moron. Very intuitive from the Maverick. Also the eco mode does not give you the best mileage in all driving situations. If you read your owners manual it will tell you when to use eco mode.
highway driving is really the only place to use eco mode. and thats probably why it turns off when you shutoff the car, because when you start your car your not sitting on a highway, your in the city or neighborhood.
The only real problem I see here is the fact that people are actually buying a CVT + hybrid transmission / engine. The gas savings will come out in the form of a needing another vehicle sooner than the eco boost version would.
MTBs and the Maverick, my two most searched topics on UA-cam. I’m hoping by the time I pull the trigger on the Maverick they'll have these issues figured out.
These aren’t “issues” as they are across many brands. My Hyundai has a pop up on the media center that stays for about 30sec or so to pay attention to driving and will go away prematurely if I click “confirm”. Defaulting to normal vs eco (or whatever) is the right thing to do. I have a 2020 explorer that’s the same way and that’s GOOD. I have a teardrop camper and I wouldn’t want the vehicle to default to tow after I’ve used it. As far as the auto brake thing, I am glad that remembers the preference and as it fundamentally changes your behavior while driving, it SHOULD remember your choice. Water bottle slot complaint? Please. Settle down. There’s roughly 3836638 different bottles to choose from on the market. If compatibility with that slot is important, get a bottle that fits. Hybrid “whine”? I have no experience or opinion. Again…not “issues” unless you think a vehicle needs to be custom fit for your specific needs rather than appeal to the most amount of people as possible.
OMG those Crocs while you driving a ford truck!!! OMG slow down when explaining my brain is about to go into a seizure!!! OMG These things are so petty, why the heck did I click on this, you got me this time youtube...
While I dont necessarily think most of these complaints are serious problems, I appreciate the view from a different perspective. These are things nobody has talked about on a video. I do believe the drive mode should be addressed. Looks like the seatbelt screen can be disabled. I also agree the brake setting should shut off once car is turned off. Our new RAV4 shuts off the brake hold and defaults to eco mode every time the car is shut off.
Issue #1 has NEVER been a problem in my XLT Lux FX4. It starts directly into the last display I had on (awd mode, tire pressure, fuel economy, etc. Issue #2 - yeah, sure. Hit the decaf tho because you are in the minority here. Issue #3 - see #2 "Issue" #4 - Is this your first Hybrid or EV? The "noise" is federally mandated. Issue #5 - Yep, it only fits the 22oz Hydroflask. A lot of us have complained to Ford about it.
One problem can be fixed by RTFM. Eco not staying is an annoyance. Coil whine is a thing you just have to deal with. Parking brakes are almost always manually released. Bottle issue is a You issue.
I hate having to push the buttons too. Has anyone else noticed that if you start the truck and start driving right away the power steering doesn't work for 3-8 seconds?
I was thinking just yesterday, that i couldnt think of 1 thing to bitch about, about my xlt. It is more than i had hoped for. Each of your 5, also bug me a little, but dont rise to the level of "complaint". My only complaint about the water bottle thing, is how often i had to hear about it, while i waited for mine. I couldnt have imagined that anyone would think it was even worth mentioning. Looks like i missed that one. This is a fantastic little trucklet.
I worked for Ford for 5 years - in QA. Every now and then I'd come across a warranty problem and I'd propose a fix. Quite often though Engineering would tell me that the problem can't be fixed because it is stipulated in the Corporate Design manual that they have to go by.
That’s not a brake hold button… that’s the parking brake. How long have you had a license? Econ mode is a joke, it just dumbs down the throttle input. Keep your foot off the gas and you’ll see the same mileage.
4:07 That is the brake hold button. The parking brake is the one above it with the "P" on it. You pull up on it to engage the parking brake and push down to disengage. Do you even have a license? 😉
Two comments. First, unfortunately, this is 8 minutes of my life I can't get back! Second, if those 5 things are the worst issues with the Maverick, it must be a great truck!
A E-Break that Stop the Car moving when the Car its off, is exactly what it was invented for! 😂🤦🏻♂️ Have you ever heard about a Hand-Break? They do the Same and they are even stay on when u use it, total crazy stuff, i know? 😲🤭
Bro, my 2.0 Ecoboost literally doesn’t have any of the issues you bring up. And you are seriously digging for problems on the water bottle issue. I have Yeti water bottles and 20oz bottles I get from the store that fit perfectly.
I was thinking the same thing. My Ecoboost doesn't have the seatbelt thing. I almost never use eco mode because it just makes the throttle response suck and doesn't really change fuel economy. Water bottles fit fine in my door. And the parking brake does exactly what it's supposed to. Stays on until you release it just like every other car ever made with a parking brake. This guy in his stupid sunglasses and Crocs complaining like a spoiled brat. What a joke.
Wow you would love my truck whenever I want it to move I have to push in a yellow diamond shaped button and a red octagonal button before it will moove
Be happy with your new vehicle. My daily is full of holes tailgate and bed sides strapped on with rachet straps, and is loud and getting 10mpg everywhere, and it's a V6. Those little issues aren't issues to me.
The worst thing is ford Maverick doesn't have standard rear window defrosters for the back window. Insane and dangerous especially for northern states and Canada
I understand your frustrations. We have a MINI, it always put the car back into Normal mode regardless of the mode you had it in previously. In regards to some of the other issues, we had a Mazda CX-5 and it had the autobrake feature. Guess what? It always shut off after you shut off the car. I found it annoying because I wanted it on most of the time and I would pull up to a light and yep, autobrake not on. For me, whatever the settings were when I shut off the car, unless there is a safety concern, should be the same way the next time I start the car. The noise, sadly I think all hybrids make those weird noises. A Prius is one of the loudest vehicles I have ever driven slow in electric only mode. The good news, these are all definitely First World Problems.
You must have a one of a kind, I don't get that seat belt warning. A 20z bottle fits perfect in the door pocket and lastly, I love the brake hold stays on and use it every day. Can't say much about the drive modes have FX4
Well, he didn't actually use purchased water bottles that it was designed for as he used random drink containers that there are probably hundreds of different types and shapes. Pretty surprised he didn't pick up on that.
The button not latching is a thing but a little thing. When I road in one my water bottle fit perfectly. I've been waiting for 6 months and just got pushed to MY '23: Now THAT'S an issue.
I have a Kia Stinger & I wish the brake hold feature would stay on. I don't use it because I don't want to press another button every time I use the car. Same goes for the auto engine shut off feature...but I always turn that one off. I just want to stomp and steer when I go to drive my car, not play a video game every time before I drive it LoL!
Bro 💀 stop complaining! The lazier we become as a society, the more we complaint 🤦🏽♂️ It’s Clearly this is your first Hybrid. That “ambulance” noise is to alert pedestrians a vehicle is moving. I went from a 37k F150 to the maverick and I like it’s simplicity. Really unnecessary review in my humble opinion
You don't really want the Eco mode because it makes things slower and it just drives better in normal but that's my opinion in the EcoBoost version. I think eco mode is like for long road trips. It's like a one MPG difference probably, probably 0 mpg once you reach cruising speed. Because all eco mode really does is make it accelerate like you're driving I don't know an old Volkswagen or something
That's only for the warning chime sound when you're not buckled in. One of the first things I turned off when I got my Maverick. The display is a separate issue.
These are some of the dumbest complaints and like 90% are user error. That water bottle spot does fit hydro flasks that’s like the designated size they went for
The spaceship noises are so people can hear the truck coming when it's moving on electric power alone at low speed, all EVs and Hybrids with an electric only mode have this.
Number 4 is a traffic safety regulation for electric vehicles in alot of places, like Germany, and this is why Teslas used to be able to fart when driving at low speeds or when honking.
There should be a way to set up the car then have it remember your preferred settings every time. Ford could provide a firmware update to fix these things, but who knows when or if that will happen. But brake hold is not a setting; it's a temporary effect. It should be programmed to turn off when the vehicle is turned off.
Like the cooled seats in my Lincon. Why can't that setting be saved when the car is turned off? That bugs me but not to the point I'd start my own Yu Tube channel and rant about it. Did he purchase this vehicle on line and without test driving it as so many do these days?? Yeah. Trust the Internet, right? You won't experience anything of a negative nature happening to you that way but if you do, just return it... right?? lol. It's not a pack of T-shirts, Dude. CHECK IT OUT FIRST!
@@jamesscherrer1642 Anyone who gets the opportunity to test drive a Maverick has to have a friend that owns one. Finding one at a dealer is like living in Fantasyland!
There is probably a valid engineering reason why the truck goes back to "normal" after a key cycle... not that it makes you feel better, but I think it is because the carmakers do the emissions/fuel economy certification in one mode ("Normal") and for it to be valid the vehicle must return to Normal on a new drive. If it stayed in Eco or Sport, I think then they would have to certify in each mode, which is a lot of development cost. This is a theory, I am not speaking for Ford.
Any thoughts on the regenerative braking? I have heard/read that it can be very jerky or sudden and it's kind of turning me off from the vehicle. Also - how's the cabin noise when driving, particularly at higher speeds?
braking sucks in this truck. once you slow roll down to 5 you have to smash the brake pedal down to a jerk stop or it'll keep rolling as you apply pressure
I have a 23 Lariat Hybrid. I noticed none of these issues. Normal breaking, very quiet drive. I'm getting 42mpg... I love everything about it. Killer 8 speaker sound system including an 8" subwoofer. The best windshield visibility I've ever had in a car. Everyone comments on how quiet the engine is. Very comfortable seats.
Bro....as a millennial born in 82, you are not helping our stereotype out one bit. Now I live in Alaska and we don't have a city culture mindset here, but a healthy dose of patience would go a long way...just sayin.
I've had my Maverick 2 months now and I 100% agree on the items you describe. I have 30 db loss of hearing and I have not noticed the ambulance chasing me! I'll listen more closely, I'm sure it is behind me. I also hate the small mirrors up in the corner of both rear view mirrors! The Maverick has a big problem with blind spots! Please add it to your list! When I started driving it I almost side swiped a car, by not intensely staring at the small mirrors. Granted I'm 75, but I should be able to see the car beside me in the big portion of the mirror. I believe the mirrors can be enhanced greatly by changing the optics! Economy mode should be the default mode! Please Henry, make it quality "ONE"! In other words, make ECO mode #1!
imagine buying the cheapest model of the truck and getting mad at several issues haha also every single vehicle you have to constantly set it to eco mode every time Not a big deal lol
The brake hold is normal in any newer piece of mobile equipment. It's the new version of a parking brake. It's not supposed to let go unless someone releases it. Like a parking brake.
What’s your gas mileage without the Eco mode because I’ve never used eco-mode and It says my average mpg is 40 also get yourself the 18 ounce Hydro flask it fits perfectly
I've had my Maverick for two weeks and drive it in normal mode all the time. After 400 miles with about 60% highway I'm showing 46.5 mpg. I just came back on a 27 mile highway trip and and it showed I got 52.2 mpg for the trip. I drive the 55 mph speed limit that is typical in my area and I accelerate slowly and brake slowly to get the max use of the battery.
I ordered one the day they made them available. A year later I still don't have it. A couple weeks ago they canceled my order. Ford doesn't know it but they lost a customer for life.
@@Crunchifyable2 Looks like you’re in the minority. For the new Ranger they made a last minute change away from the dial due to overwhelming customer feedback.
Thank you! Me too. "Oh we're trying to save space" No you're not you're trying to save money and turn everything into an appliance. A LOT of people prefer to grab something when they shift gears.
@@SlavicCelery Yep, but there are ICE cars that are just as quiet. It is really not a 'good' solution. More noise pollution is real and this seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to a problem. Give it some time. What is going to happen when 80% of the cars are all making this noise? On a busy street the blind person is not going to be able to tell where the risk is or if there is a risk at all and everyone will have to put up with even higher levels of noise.
@@vacooley The only ICE that I've heard down at that level are hybrids running EV mode. And if your approach to disabled people is "noise pollution" first. I think you missed the point.
The economy mode issue is the same in my 2019 F150. Not a big deal and btw there's not a whole lot of difference in gas mileage between normal and ecomode for my driving locale and style. No big deal.
On page 47 of the Manual there is a procedure to disable the seatbelt warning.
Yeah I don’t even own a Maverick and I knew it would be in the manual.
Manuals probably 46 pages. Lol

The last time I was in normal mode I achieved 49.5 mpg in my dad's maverick in my mind if I was going for cheap gas I'd definitely get a maverick
THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE 1) MAXIMIZER or 2) MINIMIZER; Which one do you think you are, a maximizer or ultra-minimizer / invalidator?
I hate having to adjust 5 things Everytime i have to do something thanks for pointing out things I would have never known
Wow 🖐😬. The Eco mode is only one I think is legitimate. The noise is so that people can hear/feel your electric vehicle driving around.
the 'noise' is required by US law i think
@@Sir...... yes, no, maybe. But it does help people near your vehicle know your backing up. 👍
Noise is for blind people so they can hear your vehicle
@@209alfredo2091 yup that's what I said
As someone that got hit by a first gen Prius I can appreciate the noise.
About economy mode. If you rob banks for a living, the last thing you want when you start your getaway car is economy mode engaged.
Yep! The ECO mode and seat belt reminder being the two things that are the most irritating. Absolutely love the truck though. Ordered mine June 9, 2021 and took delivery on February 22, 2022.
Solution 1: Turn car on. Press button.
Solution 2: Turn car on. Press button 4 times.
Solution 3: (side note): why... wouldn't the brake hold stay on? What if you are on a steeper part. You want it roll back? ...Anyway Press button
Solution 4: Oh ok I mean that could be a little annoying maybe. Turn up radio
Solution 5: You expect a hydroflask 64 oz to fit? A closed water bottle would work fine.
Of course the Maverick makes you feel like a moron. Very intuitive from the Maverick. Also the eco mode does not give you the best mileage in all driving situations. If you read your owners manual it will tell you when to use eco mode.
highway driving is really the only place to use eco mode. and thats probably why it turns off when you shutoff the car, because when you start your car your not sitting on a highway, your in the city or neighborhood.
His point was that it should stay where he left it instead of going to its default mode. I totally agree with him on this one.
The only real problem I see here is the fact that people are actually buying a CVT + hybrid transmission / engine. The gas savings will come out in the form of a needing another vehicle sooner than the eco boost version would.
MTBs and the Maverick, my two most searched topics on UA-cam. I’m hoping by the time I pull the trigger on the Maverick they'll have these issues figured out.
There not really issues…
These aren’t “issues” as they are across many brands. My Hyundai has a pop up on the media center that stays for about 30sec or so to pay attention to driving and will go away prematurely if I click “confirm”. Defaulting to normal vs eco (or whatever) is the right thing to do. I have a 2020 explorer that’s the same way and that’s GOOD. I have a teardrop camper and I wouldn’t want the vehicle to default to tow after I’ve used it. As far as the auto brake thing, I am glad that remembers the preference and as it fundamentally changes your behavior while driving, it SHOULD remember your choice. Water bottle slot complaint? Please. Settle down. There’s roughly 3836638 different bottles to choose from on the market. If compatibility with that slot is important, get a bottle that fits. Hybrid “whine”? I have no experience or opinion.
Again…not “issues” unless you think a vehicle needs to be custom fit for your specific needs rather than appeal to the most amount of people as possible.
I have been waiting a year for my maverick. Ended up buying a chevy. When/if you pull the trigger plan to wait a very long time.
OMG those Crocs while you driving a ford truck!!! OMG slow down when explaining my brain is about to go into a seizure!!! OMG These things are so petty, why the heck did I click on this, you got me this time youtube...
While I dont necessarily think most of these complaints are serious problems, I appreciate the view from a different perspective. These are things nobody has talked about on a video. I do believe the drive mode should be addressed. Looks like the seatbelt screen can be disabled. I also agree the brake setting should shut off once car is turned off. Our new RAV4 shuts off the brake hold and defaults to eco mode every time the car is shut off.
That's why i will never buy other truck if is not Toyota Tacoma !!! I have ZERO problems since day one five years ago!!!!
Thank you.
Issue #1 has NEVER been a problem in my XLT Lux FX4. It starts directly into the last display I had on (awd mode, tire pressure, fuel economy, etc.
Issue #2 - yeah, sure. Hit the decaf tho because you are in the minority here.
Issue #3 - see #2
"Issue" #4 - Is this your first Hybrid or EV? The "noise" is federally mandated.
Issue #5 - Yep, it only fits the 22oz Hydroflask. A lot of us have complained to Ford about it.
Spot on comments… 😂😂
Drive mode problem bothers the heck out of me too. Stupid design. Overall, love my 2024 Hybrid. Sounds are pretty cool. Like them.
One problem can be fixed by RTFM. Eco not staying is an annoyance. Coil whine is a thing you just have to deal with. Parking brakes are almost always manually released. Bottle issue is a You issue.
Sounds pretty minor, though I do agree that they should fix some of these issues with software updates.
I hate having to push the buttons too. Has anyone else noticed that if you start the truck and start driving right away the power steering doesn't work for 3-8 seconds?
Yes
I was thinking just yesterday, that i couldnt think of 1 thing to bitch about, about my xlt. It is more than i had hoped for. Each of your 5, also bug me a little, but dont rise to the level of "complaint". My only complaint about the water bottle thing, is how often i had to hear about it, while i waited for mine. I couldnt have imagined that anyone would think it was even worth mentioning. Looks like i missed that one. This is a fantastic little trucklet.
I worked for Ford for 5 years - in QA. Every now and then I'd come across a warranty problem and I'd propose a fix. Quite often though Engineering would tell me that the problem can't be fixed because it is stipulated in the Corporate Design manual that they have to go by.
That’s not a brake hold button… that’s the parking brake. How long have you had a license?
Econ mode is a joke, it just dumbs down the throttle input. Keep your foot off the gas and you’ll see the same mileage.
4:07 That is the brake hold button. The parking brake is the one above it with the "P" on it. You pull up on it to engage the parking brake and push down to disengage. Do you even have a license? 😉
I hate the dial style shifter. When I go into reverse I accidentally put it in park all the time.
I have a regular non hybrid Maverick and not one of those problems apply to my truck.
Eco mode is just psychological, it’s all in the way you drive
no it's not. It is a completely different throttle mapping.
Two comments. First, unfortunately, this is 8 minutes of my life I can't get back! Second, if those 5 things are the worst issues with the Maverick, it must be a great truck!
A E-Break that Stop the Car moving when the Car its off, is exactly what it was invented for! 😂🤦🏻♂️ Have you ever heard about a Hand-Break? They do the Same and they are even stay on when u use it, total crazy stuff, i know? 😲🤭
Wow these complaints are really minor for a 20K vehicle! Life is to short to have such minor complaints! Keep Calm and Ford on!
The noise in electric mode is mandated by government. All hybrids or evs have it
This is the type of guy I’d expect to complain about these things 😂
Sweet truck thou
Exactly!! 😆 And worst… just for getting extra views…
All you have to do is hit the ok button steering wheel and it disappears
Bro, my 2.0 Ecoboost literally doesn’t have any of the issues you bring up. And you are seriously digging for problems on the water bottle issue. I have Yeti water bottles and 20oz bottles I get from the store that fit perfectly.
Exactly. All whiny hybrid owner complaints
I was thinking the same thing. My Ecoboost doesn't have the seatbelt thing. I almost never use eco mode because it just makes the throttle response suck and doesn't really change fuel economy. Water bottles fit fine in my door. And the parking brake does exactly what it's supposed to. Stays on until you release it just like every other car ever made with a parking brake. This guy in his stupid sunglasses and Crocs complaining like a spoiled brat. What a joke.
The mustache explains everything, you got a ford maverick
Bonus item #6: The driver whines nonstop.
😂😂😂
Wow you would love my truck whenever I want it to move I have to push in a yellow diamond shaped button and a red octagonal button before it will moove
Be happy with your new vehicle. My daily is full of holes tailgate and bed sides strapped on with rachet straps, and is loud and getting 10mpg everywhere, and it's a V6. Those little issues aren't issues to me.
The worst thing is ford Maverick doesn't have standard rear window defrosters for the back window. Insane and dangerous especially for northern states and Canada
I understand your frustrations. We have a MINI, it always put the car back into Normal mode regardless of the mode you had it in previously. In regards to some of the other issues, we had a Mazda CX-5 and it had the autobrake feature. Guess what? It always shut off after you shut off the car. I found it annoying because I wanted it on most of the time and I would pull up to a light and yep, autobrake not on. For me, whatever the settings were when I shut off the car, unless there is a safety concern, should be the same way the next time I start the car. The noise, sadly I think all hybrids make those weird noises. A Prius is one of the loudest vehicles I have ever driven slow in electric only mode.
The good news, these are all definitely First World Problems.
this is like one of those videos where lambo owners complain about the smallest things. Im sure you could have found some real complaints
Are you trying to find a new niche since there are too many mtb youtubers now? Is a name change coming? "dailyfordmaverickdriver" sounds sweet
I carry a gallon jug of water with me and it won’t fit in the door either. Dammit Ford! How dare you!
You must have a one of a kind, I don't get that seat belt warning. A 20z bottle fits perfect in the door pocket and lastly, I love the brake hold stays on and use it every day. Can't say much about the drive modes have FX4
Well, he didn't actually use purchased water bottles that it was designed for as he used random drink containers that there are probably hundreds of different types and shapes. Pretty surprised he didn't pick up on that.
My maverick does the same thing.. seatbelt indicator stays on until you hit ok…
Some people are never happy.
Yes. It should be in economy mode unless you want to chose performance on your own.
You are so right! Hey FORD reprogram the darn computer already!!!!
Or it could just remember what you left it in. I don’t want to have to switch out of eco every time i get into the truck either.
@@Denali_Rebel "Default" is another word for someone else thinking for you. Last setting would satisfy most owners.
At 4:00 you say the brake hold makes you look like a moron, while you are wearing viper glasses, crocs, and a mustache 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The button not latching is a thing but a little thing. When I road in one my water bottle fit perfectly.
I've been waiting for 6 months and just got pushed to MY '23: Now THAT'S an issue.
I have a Kia Stinger & I wish the brake hold feature would stay on. I don't use it because I don't want to press another button every time I use the car. Same goes for the auto engine shut off feature...but I always turn that one off. I just want to stomp and steer when I go to drive my car, not play a video game every time before I drive it LoL!
Bro 💀 stop complaining!
The lazier we become as a society, the more we complaint 🤦🏽♂️
It’s Clearly this is your first Hybrid. That “ambulance” noise is to alert pedestrians a vehicle is moving.
I went from a 37k F150 to the maverick and I like it’s simplicity. Really unnecessary review in my humble opinion
Drive modes have never started on in any vehicle I've driven.
Gotta be the stupidest complaints I've ever heard and I'm not a big ford fan
Blame the EPA for most of those issues. Vehicle was not EPA tested in ECO mode as default. Brake hold doesn't affect fuel mileage so it can stay on.
You're a fool. How does EPA factor in all of these issues?
You don't really want the Eco mode because it makes things slower and it just drives better in normal but that's my opinion in the EcoBoost version. I think eco mode is like for long road trips. It's like a one MPG difference probably, probably 0 mpg once you reach cruising speed.
Because all eco mode really does is make it accelerate like you're driving I don't know an old Volkswagen or something
Exactly, you put it in eco mode when going down hill to get most of the regen
What I don't like about new Maverick is ridiculous marked up price on dealership lot ! Like 4000k - 5000k more dollars? Really?!
It's my understanding that there is a procedure in the owners manual to turn off the seatbelt minder.
I've never used the seat belt in my Buick, just get used to the little light.
Or just press the ok button
That's only for the warning chime sound when you're not buckled in. One of the first things I turned off when I got my Maverick. The display is a separate issue.
These are some of the dumbest complaints and like 90% are user error. That water bottle spot does fit hydro flasks that’s like the designated size they went for
The spaceship noises are so people can hear the truck coming when it's moving on electric power alone at low speed, all EVs and Hybrids with an electric only mode have this.
Either that... or UFOs are attracted to Mavericks and follow them around. 🤔
Number 4 is a traffic safety regulation for electric vehicles in alot of places, like Germany, and this is why Teslas used to be able to fart when driving at low speeds or when honking.
There should be a way to set up the car then have it remember your preferred settings every time. Ford could provide a firmware update to fix these things, but who knows when or if that will happen. But brake hold is not a setting; it's a temporary effect. It should be programmed to turn off when the vehicle is turned off.
Like the cooled seats in my Lincon. Why can't that setting be saved when the car is turned off? That bugs me but not to the point I'd start my own Yu Tube channel and rant about it. Did he purchase this vehicle on line and without test driving it as so many do these days?? Yeah. Trust the Internet, right? You won't experience anything of a negative nature happening to you that way but if you do, just return it... right?? lol. It's not a pack of T-shirts, Dude. CHECK IT OUT FIRST!
@@jamesscherrer1642 Anyone who gets the opportunity to test drive a Maverick has to have a friend that owns one. Finding one at a dealer is like living in Fantasyland!
There is probably a valid engineering reason why the truck goes back to "normal" after a key cycle... not that it makes you feel better, but I think it is because the carmakers do the emissions/fuel economy certification in one mode ("Normal") and for it to be valid the vehicle must return to Normal on a new drive. If it stayed in Eco or Sport, I think then they would have to certify in each mode, which is a lot of development cost. This is a theory, I am not speaking for Ford.
Any thoughts on the regenerative braking? I have heard/read that it can be very jerky or sudden and it's kind of turning me off from the vehicle. Also - how's the cabin noise when driving, particularly at higher speeds?
I responded in length about it, indeed Ford did a piss poor job on that end of it.
braking sucks in this truck. once you slow roll down to 5 you have to smash the brake pedal down to a jerk stop or it'll keep rolling as you apply pressure
I have a '23 and there's no jerkiness at all. Not much cabin noise except at the rare very heavy throttle. And not very loud even then
I have a 23 Lariat Hybrid. I noticed none of these issues. Normal breaking, very quiet drive. I'm getting 42mpg... I love everything about it. Killer 8 speaker sound system including an 8" subwoofer. The best windshield visibility I've ever had in a car.
Everyone comments on how quiet the engine is. Very comfortable seats.
Bro....as a millennial born in 82, you are not helping our stereotype out one bit. Now I live in Alaska and we don't have a city culture mindset here, but a healthy dose of patience would go a long way...just sayin.
So no real complaints then.
I've had my Maverick 2 months now and I 100% agree on the items you describe. I have 30 db loss of hearing and I have not noticed the ambulance chasing me! I'll listen more closely, I'm sure it is behind me. I also hate the small mirrors up in the corner of both rear view mirrors! The Maverick has a big problem with blind spots! Please add it to your list! When I started driving it I almost side swiped a car, by not intensely staring at the small mirrors. Granted I'm 75, but I should be able to see the car beside me in the big portion of the mirror. I believe the mirrors can be enhanced greatly by changing the optics! Economy mode should be the default mode! Please Henry, make it quality "ONE"! In other words, make ECO mode #1!
I'm with ya, I don't like the mirrors, too small
The only issue you rose that I can agree with is the drive mode one. The others are laughably knit picky.
I have a ecoboost and at slow speeds like in a neighborhood complex it sounds like it is taking a huge crap
I think the seatbelt thing is a setting, I never turned it on. Good to know so I keep it off.
There is only 1 thing the Maverick got VERY wrong. And that is not having an AWD Hybrid.
imagine buying the cheapest model of the truck and getting mad at several issues haha
also every single vehicle you have to constantly set it to eco mode every time Not a big deal lol
You aren't allowed to get mad if you buy the cheapest model, only the most expensive?
The brake hold is normal in any newer piece of mobile equipment. It's the new version of a parking brake. It's not supposed to let go unless someone releases it. Like a parking brake.
The brake hold is for use in traffic, not as a parking brake. Unfortunately, that too has gone electronic, with all of its unique issues.
What’s your gas mileage without the Eco mode because I’ve never used eco-mode and It says my average mpg is 40 also get yourself the 18 ounce Hydro flask it fits perfectly
I've had my Maverick for two weeks and drive it in normal mode all the time. After 400 miles with about 60% highway I'm showing 46.5 mpg. I just came back on a 27 mile highway trip and and it showed I got 52.2 mpg for the trip. I drive the 55 mph speed limit that is typical in my area and I accelerate slowly and brake slowly to get the max use of the battery.
@@jimfarmer7811 Yeah you just have to know how to drive if you want to maximize the mpg
I ordered one the day they made them available. A year later I still don't have it. A couple weeks ago they canceled my order. Ford doesn't know it but they lost a customer for life.
I’m with you on the seatbelt issue, but how could you overlook the heinous drive gear selector. HATE the circular knob!
That's funny I love it. So much easier to use. Left is park. Right is drive.
@@Crunchifyable2
For 2017 Ford switched the Fusion from a gear lever to a knob, I wanted a " traditional " gear lever, so I bought a 2013 Fusion.
@@Crunchifyable2 Looks like you’re in the minority. For the new Ranger they made a last minute change away from the dial due to overwhelming customer feedback.
Thank you! Me too.
"Oh we're trying to save space"
No you're not you're trying to save money and turn everything into an appliance. A LOT of people prefer to grab something when they shift gears.
My water bottle fits, it actually snaps in really snug and tight where you have to use alil force putting it in & taking it out
Why can't we (as EV/Hybrid vehicle owners) have the Vehicle make sweet V-8 to V-12 Sounds, (Like in the movie with Adam Sandler and Kevin Smith)?
This truck is not meant for men In my opinion it’s small like for picking up plants at lowes mulch or groceries so it’s good for him
Hybrid/ EVs are required to make some noise for safety
Blind people do exist. And they are vulnerable to ultra quiet vehicles.
Just disable it.
@@SlavicCelery Yep, but there are ICE cars that are just as quiet. It is really not a 'good' solution. More noise pollution is real and this seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to a problem. Give it some time. What is going to happen when 80% of the cars are all making this noise? On a busy street the blind person is not going to be able to tell where the risk is or if there is a risk at all and everyone will have to put up with even higher levels of noise.
@@vacooley The only ICE that I've heard down at that level are hybrids running EV mode.
And if your approach to disabled people is "noise pollution" first. I think you missed the point.
I have a hybrid maverick, the economy mode not staying on is the only bad thing about it.
The economy mode issue is the same in my 2019 F150. Not a big deal and btw there's not a whole lot of difference in gas mileage between normal and ecomode for my driving locale and style. No big deal.
The eco mode is the biggest one for sure. Still an issue?
I have one on the way (someday) but wondering if on your next video maybe include a clip of loading your bike on it just to see how it fits and looks
I can say it's not all Mavericks on the OK for seatbelts. My Lariat does not do that.
Whine, whine, whine
With Pit Vipes no less
I’ve never seen that seatbelt warning message after 6k of driving.
