Great video. I cannot wait to hear the discussion about the 2025 Bronco Sport tomorrow. I hope Ford will make the 2.0 available for all the trim levels. Maybe give the option for the 2.3 in the Badlands or maybe a Tremor trim level 😊
I have a 2022 Maverick XLT, with Luxury package, Co-pilot 360 with 2.0 ecoboost that I ordered new. We make several trips each year from Houston to Dallas and back to see relatives. The speed limit on I-45 is 75 mph for most of the way. I try to keep my speed at 75 mph except when passing slower traffic. I always drive in the eco mode and I average 34 mpg on those trips. I’m very pleased with my truck and would highly recommend it.
I've had a hybrid Maverick for a little over a year. I'm right at 38 mpg combined city and highway driving. Short trips in town, sometimes 50-60 mpg, but about 33-35 highway. Pretty doggone impressive if you ask me.
Interesting fact I have discovered about my hybrid maverick. We have 40,000 miles at 52 miles per gallon and I discovered something new, new to me, two months ago. if you don’t like the transition between regenerative braking and mechanical breaking, switch to slippery. It will not regenerate as much as in normal or Eco, but there is no noticeable translation.
Why doesn't any of the Ford dealers talk about the Hybrid is flat towable for Motorhome use? There are less and less every year cars or trucks that are flat towable. I think since there are older flat towable cars that need to be replace that the flat towable is another selling point
My hybrid with winter tires did fine in the winter in Montana. I didn't even try the slippery mode. Something to try for next winter, I guess. Hybrid has front wheel drive.
Great video lots of informative information. Only thing I would add is another item to consider is when opting for the AWD, it increases ground clearance from 8.3 to 8.6. Also instead of semi independent twist beam rear suspension the AWD gets a fully independent rear suspension with a multi link design which improves sharper handling and ground clearance which I mentioned. These may also influence which model to purchase depending on ones needs.
@@dvader3263 that's incorrect both the FWD and AWD come standard with the same size tire. I thought that was or could be a possibility until I dug into it more. Realizing the same size tires I then googled why and that information I posted. They do offer an optional tire size on the AWD the p235 but it is .51 of an inch wider or taller which theoretically would increase it .255 over or additional to the 8.6 which is from changing the rear suspension.
The Ford transmission is completely different from the Nissan. It is a planetary gearset (like Toyota) which does not use the continuously variable chain/belt system.
ECTV is gear driven and is a totally different animal than a CVT. The ECVT is supposedly much smoother and more reliable. The ECVT lacks the so called, lazy, laggy "rubber band" feeling that many people complain about with the CVT.

Needs front parking sensors
If only these came in a two door, I miss the mini trucks in the 80s and 90s we used to lower
Always so thorough. I appreciate you, Tim. Love my 2024 AWD XLT lux package. ♥️
Great video. We have had our hybrid for a month and hadn't figured all of this out.
Easy on the brake and easy on the gas in ECO mode and you can get close to 50 mpg

Is that the FWD or AWD Ecoboost version?
@@skybluemarshall front wheel drive.
@billyselman6371 I thought so. Good mileage and power. Probably the unsung hero of the Maverick lineup.

That's incredible. Mine arrives between 22-28 this month. Ordered last Sept Hybrid as well.
@Long McArthur: Thanks for the informational video Tim. I miss my Maverick FX4 already.
The recent talk amongst RVers looking for a flat tow road vehicle is that the Maverick is the truck to get... any comments or confirmation?
Hybrid can be flat towed
Can't wait. I ordered 2024 Hybrid Azure Gray, blacked out with Luxury pkg Sept, arrives at my dealership between 22-28 this month.
No dealer will ever sell me a truck above MSRP. Only a fool would do that. Come to think of it I’ve never even paid MSRP

I’m sure that closing shot is EXACTLY what the Bangles had in mind all those years ago.

Ford just announced for 2025 a Maverick Grabber is coming with 3.2!!!!!
Grabber? I would love to know the source. Ford hasn't announced anything publicly that I'm aware of.
lol
No 3.2 exists. Try again.
Maybe a 2.3 in the future.
I live along a lake where I drive 45 mph. Is that considered highway or city???? I do wish to travel too.
That is a tough one. You would get much better fuel economy with hybrid in that situation.
When can i preorder a 2025 Ford Maverick
Ford has not told us. I would guess July/August for order bank opening. If you want to be placed on a list with us, email me at timothybartz@gmail.com

That .3 inch difference in ground clearance is from the increased tire diameter going from FWD to AWD models.

Why would you turn traction control off?
When you get in mid and you need to spin the tires otherwise it just bogs down
2.3 😂
I wonder how reliable the CVT and all of that electronic AWD gadgetry (on the Tremor) will be over time. Nissan had problems with their CVTs.
