They should call that $19,000 price what it is, "lottery pricing" because there is so many people that did everything they could to get that, and only a handful of people actually did get that price.
XL trim grade is limited to 15% of production. Hybrid is limited to 35%. There are variations to that mix, but yes the truck you see here is the least common variant available.
I have a 2022 XL hybrid, 31,000mi after 22 months. No brake or rattle issues. Haven't checked overall MPG but don't recall many fillups under 40MPG. Paid $22,500, hitch, rear slider, CoPilot 360, no mark up. My 2024 XLT hybrid is scheduled for Nov 20 build. As Henry used to say, "ask a man that owns one".
I got lucky and scored an xlt maverick at msrp spec exacty how I wanted from someone who backed out. Although i enjoyed the car i ended up trading for a Tacoma because I got tired of all the minor and major headaches that came with this first gen. Every issue brought up in this video applied to me, and my local dealership in Katy,Tx (Ford Autonation) refused to do the software upgrade for the.grabby brakes. Then Ford took over eight months to get back with airbag recall. Then had check engine for heat exchanger for five months with no update in sight. Have had toyotas bought with over 100k miles with less isues in entire lifetime than this brand new truck in one year. No thanks Ford, would rather pay more for gas.
Thanks for the update Sam! Always my favorite place for maverick content. Videos are always clear and concise, the information seems well researched, and the mods always look great! Get well soon.
Thanks for all the valuable information and insight. I am at 7,000 miles in San Diego and averaging 41.5 mpg (measured at the pump). Only problem was the right rear window switch going out. Plus an intermittent dash rattle.
I have 3 guitar picks placed in various locations in my 2022 hybrid XLT to stop rattling. I strategically placed the picks between panels until I found the culprit. I currently have next to 0 rattles!
Watching with COVID too! Hope you made a full recovery! Interesting review! My -22 hybrid XLT at 11k is literally drawing the same MPG and it'd been a fine little truck so far
I love what you have done to the truck now. Those wheels look great on it. I have an early March '23 build hybrid Lariat that had the same dash rattle as yours. I took a piece of clear double sided Gorilla tape about 1" long and stuck it between the speaker grill and the "A" pillar with about 1/8" showing...problem solved. As far as the grabby brakes are concerned, I don't know why Ford doesn't use the programming that's on my truck because the braking is smooth as silk! In fact I have had zero issues with my truck so far (vigorously knocking on wood).
Clearly the best review out there including enthusiast mods that set it apart, are cost effective, and make it a very special truck. More info on performance would be useful. This is a front drive vehicle. so would assume both wheels driven, and it is apparently fine off road...
Get well soon Sam. I'm suffering on Long Covid since 15 month, can't work and can't do a lot. So I am watching a lot of videos 😁 and enjoy yours as well. Greetings from Germany
My 22 Maverick Lariat Hybrid at 18,000 developed a vibration when acceleration above 35 mph, turned out the cv axles were out of balance and were replaced under warranty.
Hey great concise review on the Maverick! you did a good job framing the owner experience and you’ve always run realistic real world off-road tests. I have a 21 Honda ridgeline and I swapped out the firestone destination tires for BF good rich trail trains, and I couldn’t be happier with them up here in Idaho. They’ve been terrific on uneven forest service roads, rotted, gravel roads, fresh snow, including a couple of 6 inch plus powder days and the road noise compared to the BF good rich KO twos is night and day so that might be a tire you’d want to consider with some other vehicles anyway, I hope you feel better and keep up the great work on the channel.
I just bought a 2023 Maverick XLT which listed for $27K. Dealer selling price was $37K. I got it down to $30K. The prices of these trucks are crazy. The high end units and listing for over $40K. Their not the inexpensive little trucks for 2021!
I really like these Mavericks they're such good value for the money. I liked it before with the cool 70s colorful stripes. I like it even better now it looks like a serious off-road Maverick nice job.
I am really liking your Maverick, so sharp with the new tires, rims, fender flares.. I seriously am thinking on getting fender flares and some off road style tires, keeping my XLT rims though.. Covid sucks man.. get well soon!
Like the wheels and tires you installed, like the "area 51" color and like the roll bars in the bed, maybe the best looking maverick I've seen. Wish I could still get one for 19k.
I found I turned off the automatic brakes the thing that holds the truck when you stop really helped in my maverick but you have to 1 leave it off and 2 give it a day or 2 mine got better with time! Thanks 4 the information.
Hope you feel better 😊. Been waiting since last year for my cactus grey XLT hybrid. Seems if you live in Canada ford doesn't have a high priority to make the Canadian versions.
I have a '24 XLT Hybrid... same color... (no brainer for me) I bought the extended bumper to bumper (including battery) from 3 to 10 year warranty for about $3k and the upgrade from 2 to 8 year tire warranty (including the wheels) for $275.... I found that if you let the truck sit for a second or so, after taking your foot off the break, the "grippy break thing" goes away... seems the more you fight it the worse it gets... I call her Roz (short for Roswell, NM)... Next are the upgraded floor mats (stock ones suck)...
I like mine so far but I got 46mpg on the tank of gas from the dealership and like 35 or so every one since. Kinda disappointed. was a big reason I wanted to support the tech. still liking it though.
Nice video. I am elderly and getting into the Maverick bed I have to sit on the downed gate swing around then to my knees then stand up. Need a step or platform to increment step onto gate. Think it would make a good video for us weak legged folks to see some accessory item.
I have a 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid and it has the same brake grabbing issue, I can't believe ford hasn't fixed that issue after over 10 years of making hybrids! So I guess my point would be don't expect any fix soon unless there's a lawsuit/recall. I have 105,000 miles with my original brakes pads and rotors both front and rear, you've used 40% in 35K miles? My original tires lasted 65K miles, you must drive your car hard.
awesome video. I also have a hybrid and i noticed a very high pitched noise coming from the regen brakes or somewhere from the front wheels. It has not been loud enough for me to take it in to the shop for a check up but i was wondering if that is something normal? Ive never owned a hybrid vehicle and i am aware they are supposed to make noises.
Cool video like the look of your truck i been looking at used ford mavericks of line what would be the best choice to go with the Hybrid or the 2.0 and what would be the best way to talk a car salesperson down on one
Does your tonneau cover "leak" when it rains, have talked to several and leakage is a problem, in the winter dozens have reported snow drifts under the cover. If yours hasn't leaked what brand was it again, and be so kind as to say where it came from. Thanks.
Because of the design of the cargo box there really is no 100% water tight way for any tonneau cover or topper to seal against all short of caulking it manually like a bathtub. Even then, the bottom of the cargo box has openings and drains that still allow wetness up into it if driving in wet conditions. It's just not meant to be sealed.
The LPaventure wheels are actually lighter than the factory wheels they replaced. With the heavier tires they only add 7 lb more per assembly over what was on the vehicle stock. We have a video for that. ua-cam.com/video/6l0_U0WAWrI/v-deo.html
Great review! You mentioned the Oedro tonneau cover. It looks like a hard tri fold cover, but looking on the Oedro website, I only see soft covers and retracting covers for the Maverick. Can you give me more info about the cover? I like the Keko sport bar and want to find a hard tri fold cover that is compatible with it. Thanks!
I am actually surprised how good the fenders look to break up the maverick outline. And with the custom grill front end this XL looks better than BAP in many ways.
Thanks for the update! Ecoboost is pretty good. My hybrid is not that much better but then again im hauling more now than when i got it and blasting the AC. May have to consider Ecoboost AWD next time around
I took my maverick to the dealership for the dash rattle and they kept it for a week. They said they replaced an antenna bracket and they added padding. I don't have the rattle anymore but they did keep it a week.
Where are your paint chips located? Ours has some on the edge of the bumper where it meets the bottom of the headlamp, maybe from wear or vibration, Still haven't figured it out.
I was thinking about a Maverick. The long parade of recalls and anti-rattle envelope in the windshield 🤣 for that reason I’M OUT. I prefer cars that are completed BEFORE they leave the factory.
Your mileage will probably take a hit with those tires but they look great. I'd like to see an aftermarket rear axle swap with a motor/battery pack. To make it awd
I agree, there shouldn't be hardly anywhere on the brakes yet. I run mine an eco mode where the degeneration is a little bit more than the regular mode and my brakes are showing very little where at 20,000 mi
$19k??? $25k....Ha! HA!...Good luck with that. They are north of $40k in my area. 30k miles is nothing. Talk to us when you have 60k to 100k after the turbo has failed..not gonna last......it's a glorified small SUV with an uncovered trunk.....not a truck....tsk tsk tsk....Hybrid no one wants....poor design and poor quality..not worth $$ at any price...
Buddy, the Hybrid doesn't have a turbo. I bought one at MSRP this week. 80% of orders are hybrid. You're so wrong and so loud that you don't even realize you're the odd-one-out here. Shhh.

You can. You just have to shop around and order one from the right dealership.
I think I saw somewhere that said the base Maverick is no longer the hybrid version. Is that true?
The hybrid engine is now an extra cost option on all Mavericks.
What are some other costs that have popped up?
