I’m really leaning toward this for my next rig. Hybrid with AWD! Living in California I need a break on fuel cost and the utility of the pick is awesome! I’ve always been a truck dude but with the current fuel cost, mortgage and stuff, I’ve been a Prius dad since 2012. I’m really liking this lariat trim. Thnk u for this very detailed review.
I ordered my Lariat hybrid with the 4k tow package mostly for the transmission cooler, upgraded cooling fan, and conventional spare tire. I think these additional features when driving in the hot desert, even if I don't do much towing. I was told by my salesman that the price on the order form will remain the same when the Maverick arrives, which could be a few months from now. And no "market adjustment" over MSRP.
Wow, this is one of the best videos I've seen about the Maverick. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I ordered my 2025 Maverick Lariat hybrid on 11-2-25. The salesman didn't know anything about the Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, or Job 1 and Job 2. Because of the date that I placed the order I expect my Maverick will be Job 2. If so, does that mean the Pro Trailer Assist will be automatically added to my build, or must I request it?
Hi, I'm in the process of ordering my hybrid lariat and I really want the trailer and hitch assist. I talked to my sales guy, and he can't find any mention of it anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm confused on the interior. I am wondering if you can order a Maverick with no blue on the inside. Everyone I've seen online has blue accents and a blue console and dash etc. Can you order a total black interior for example?
There will be navy pier blue interior environment no matter what. If you get black interior like in the black appearance package you will have black seats and black accents on the console, vents, and door but still have navy pier on all the plastic parts.
Curious on the predictive adaptive cruise if the speed can be adjusted above the speed limit? For example, my Tesla can be adjusted so that when I turn on adaptive cruise it sets it to 5 mph above the posted speed? The Tesla doesn’t adapt as the speed limits change though
I have a Model 3 and it seems like it's supposed to adapt as speed limits change and sometimes it does and other times it doesn't (even when going to a LOWER speed limit so it's not just for safety reasons) which is just maddening considering all this talk about AI when it is just a computer doing simple addition.
I have a stupid question here. I ordered a 25 Maverick XLT, and someone told me that they don't come standard with cruise control. Is this true? I would think CC would be standard on anything these days.
@@longmcarthurford 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid models - both front- and all-wheel drive - can be flat-towed, which Ford Authority has confirmed with Ford truck communications manager Dawn McKenzie.
@@caliwish7585 correct, that was confirmed by the engineers this week. That news is 3 days old. My comment posted 3 weeks ago was based on information given to me by Ford.
Yes, if you take your vin number into your local Ford dealer parts department, they can get the part number on those sliding d links and order some for you.
I’m excited for the AWD Hybrid with the 4K tow package. Was hoping to get the FX4 off road package with it. What are the main differences between the FX4 and just the regular AWD?
Now, can we PLEASE get a Ranger PHEV in the US, Ford?! I love my 2023 Lariat FX4 EcoBoost in Hot Pepper Red with 4k towing, but I ALWAYS wanted it in Eruption Green and as a hybrid capable of 4k towing. The real question becomes: am I okay with losing my SecuriCode built into the door, physical buttons for climate control, and my FX4 package for it? Tons of great updates, I was just REALLY hoping they would offer Pro Power Onboard with the hybrid update instead of sticking to just a 400w outlet and ventilated seats.
Do all Ford dealers have access to “Job 1 & Job 2” build information? I’d like to wait for those additional features mentioned for Job 2 but I’m sure if I call I’d be told “no one really knows” or “it doesn’t make a difference”
Would you please address flat towing the hybrid model? I know in previous years it was possible to flat tow only the hybrid mopel, is that still true with the 2025 AWD model? What about adding the 4K tow package, is the hybrid still flat towable if I add the 4K tow package?
I was told by Ford Maverick engineers that the Hybrid AWD can not be flat towed, only the FWD Hybrid can be flat towed. That information was not given to us until after this video was recorded. Please keep an eye out for our Maverick Monday videos where we will continue to go over things like this each week.
@@longmcarthurford Thank you. Do you know if the 2025 Maverick Hybrid Lariat can be ordered with FWD, or all of the hybrid lariats now AWD? I recently passed up 2-3 2024 Mavericks hoping the 2025 would come out with a true red and the larger digital screen; now I may have a problem. :-( (I'm in the Los Angeles area.)
@@pamelakenoyer4020 As mentioned in this video, Lariat is only available in AWD. You can order a 2024 for 2 more days. We have allocations available for scheduling 2024 Mavericks.
I don't understand why there's not an FX4 option on the Lariat? Every time one shows up in the Kansas City metro area it's the first one to go, there's plenty with a black appearance package sitting on dealer lots.
2024 Lariats have an option for FX4. 2025 doesn’t. Assuming you’re talking about the 2024, they are out there and maybe you should reach out to Long McArthur for assistance. They kept showing kept showing up at my dealer too and going shortly there after until I actually contacted the dealer in question and they helped get the specific inbound one I wanted. You need to be less passive and more active if you want one. I was going to leave a deposit on one inbound. I got to the dealership and it got there early (the same day I came to make a deposit). So I took it with me.
SO I just placed an order for a 25 Lariat with hybrid and 4K towing. I WANT the hitch assist / backup assist (21:30 on the video) - my order does NOT show any discount - so now I have no idea if I WILL get what I want, or if I won't. I'm not going to accept the truck if it does not have it. My dealer is checking, but I think the video may be in error regarding the discount? Seems stupid of Ford to not just wait until they can build all that option the towing feature with the hitch/backup assist. I may have to cancel the order. You might need to revise the video.
@gzebrick if your order is scheduled for production between now and mid November, it will not have the PTBA and PTHA. I discussed it in this video ua-cam.com/video/g_JzbfM0ZwA/v-deo.html
@@longmcarthurford Much thanks - my local dealer appears to be uninformed as he claims my order includes it. I guess I'll just cancel the order and maybe find another dealer who won't make things up without researching it. I don't want to wait 3 months for my truck to come in just to see it doesn't have what I expected.
I'm having a devil of a time making a list of what you can get on Lariat that you absolutely CANNOT get on XLT with any package. You get stuck with vinyl seats and 19-inch wheels whether you want them or not). You also get adaptive cruise, dual zone climate, powered rear window, projector headlights, 360 camera, front parking sensors, acoustic windshield, all windows being one-touch (a blessing and a curse), and what else? Maybe reverse brake assist or evasive steering? Maybe wireless charging? Maybe Lane centering? Maybe road edge detect? Do you all have a list of just the things that Lariat can get that XLT cannot get? Thanks.
It's now WAY TOO EXPENSIVE !!!!! Don't care if the order bank is open anymore. Cannot afford to buy a new vehicle anywhere now. Strip out all that unnecessary electronic stuff, Ford. Put buttons and knobs for radio and climate control back on the dash instead of a big screen computer monitor and digital instrument panel, and do a 2-door with 15 inch street tires and NO AWD!
