Ok so I haven't actually read the manual, but have been driving a 23 hybrid for a few months and the power gage does NOT display your % of battery being used. It is more an indication of % of total power available being output. If you're running on all electric you will see the gage stays quite low, and when you push the petal down far enough the ICE will kick on and that gauge jumps up in a direct correlation to how much gas you're giving it. Also the green area of the gage indicates how much your battery is being charged from regenerative breaking. The harder you hit the breaks the more the gage will go into the green until it goes past and into the white again on the left. If you can keep your breaking in the green for the entire stop you're capturing the maximum energy possible via regenerative breaking to recharge your battery. This is how all hybrid gauges work that I have seen.
Wow! This is the explanation of features that the dealership should have provided me. Excellent video and very informative for Maverick Hybrid owners. Thanks!
I find it really funny how trying to keep the real time fuel consumption low has slowed me down alot .. hates to press the gas pedal when I'm watching it lol
Awsome thanks so much for the feedback back ... my up coming videos will be about the gas 2.0L maverick.. I traded the hybrid for the AWD ...in one of the videos I explain why
With my experience, using the electric setting display on the dash screen, I noticed the power gage when it's closest to zero indicates running on electricity. Increasing the throttle toward 100% displays "Hybrid," which would indicate to me that both gas and electric are being used to power the vehicle. When slowing down or stopping, it displays "charge." Adaptive braking uses the stored energy to also recharge the battery. So when the needle is in the green, it indicates that the system is being charged without using the gas engine to do so. Indicated by the green dial that pops up on the dash with the amont of charged returned to the electrical system in % of charge returned. That's one of the reasons Hybrids get better city fuel economy and worse at highway speeds because it's using the gas engine to keep the system charged constantly. Sort of free energy. This technology has been around for years since the late 30s early 40's When General Motors EMD division equipped the 1st successful F3 Diesel locomotive road engines, which are actually diesel electric, with this same technology for braking as dynamic braking. The same electric traction motors that run the train are simply reversed to become generators to provide breaking. Hence, the cooling fans atop locomotives as it generates a lot of heat. I find myself using the amount of charge as a challenge to get 100% return every time I come to a stop. sort of like a video game. It would be good to know how much energy that was saved in relation to how much is being used to start again.
Have you seen the win win private austalian train that takes minerals from the mountains to the sea while charging the batteries and returns empty to the mines using the stored charge.
I have almost zero regrets.. and the positives for out way the negatives. as for leg room I doubt you'll notice it . I'm 510 lots of room left to move sest back .. and in my seat position I've driven 200km with 3 grown men in the back sest and not to much complaining 😅
Great content, you showed me features no one bothered with; such as: the speed locked key and how to use the gauges to tell what power system you were using. I really appreciate it!
the green bar means the battery is being charged thru one of the ways possible, I.e. Regen. braking, coasting the 1-100% is how much combined power you can apply coming from both ICE and M/G at 100% you are using both The Gas ICE and The Electric motor. It is only using the electric energy to propel it at the start of acceleration after that first kick the ICE kicks in to add the real power, but the Electric motors are pretty much always being used to at least control the "gears" or rather mode of operation, Underdrive, sailing, overdrive, reverse( uses electric only ), regen braking, coasting, and if I'm right about the rest there is one more I don't remember. maybe maintaining a cruising speed Yeah i think thats it
@@angling_arrows I'm going in for test drives, because I cant decided between eco boost or hybrid. after understanding that the " ECVT" does not have the disgusting cons, of a "normal " belt drive CVT. The combined MPG Difference is 10 MPG 30 MPG for a fun lil turbo charged engine, 10 more mpg, for the Hybrid, Which i really fell in love with the ECVT planetary Gears. what I want to know, is if the hybrid is Just as Fun, in delivering power as the Eco boost? Does the "instant torque" from the Motor /generator make for fun acceleration even though it is not as quick as the turbocharged Eco boost? P.S. I love the Hybrid and all the efficiency's of it and the Ecvt. But I have never drove a turbo, and felt it make boost, nor a hybrid/ electric car. and want to know I will have fun in the Hybrid and the charm wont rub off, leaving me wanting more. P.S.S. Im kind of rushed into buying a truck rn, else I would wait a month or two, for the car market is suppose to get better. So I feel more inclined to go the eco. route . P.S.S.S. I'm sorry. The Eco boost has its fair share, of perks, being able to be upgraded later down to road more so then the Hybrid.
So glad it helped.. Just note I did make an error in explaining the function of the battery regeneration Guage on the left of cluster .. I corrected it in next video . short version is when breaking the needle moves to left into the green indicating when charge is being returned to the hybrid battery
on another note I have no idea if you are down sizing or just changing to something new... but I did down size from an f150 ... and I have zero regrets.. For a modestly priced truck its awsome. Only thing I don't like is hybrid is not AWD. I'm considering gettig the gas model maverick because of this. it arrives in july so stsy tuned to see what i do ... Do depending on your needs make sure to consider lack of AWD.... #fordpleasemakeawdmaverickhybrid lol
I wasen't sure about this new hybrid truck but after seeing your video it sounds like something I may look into. The one thing I don't like is ford isn't offering the four wheel drive with hybrid model, to get it you have to buy a all gas engine, not electric. Good video !
Thank you, I'm glad it helped .make sure you subscribe, I'll be uploading my experiences with the maverick good or bad.. As an outdoor person I will be "using" it like a truck.. I've already recorded 1st time hauling trailer amd first time in snow. cheers
Thanks so much. I will be mixing maverick and somw outdoor videos for sure. hopefully some with the mavericks on adventures with me and Devlin . we've actually got 3 more short maverick videos recoreds . first time towing trailer. first snowstorm and an update to Regen braking.. all comig soon
glad it helped.. just a note I made an error explaining the green Gauge on the left .. I corrected my self in next video... it's the battery regen gauge .. the more tje gaige is in the green the more charge that's being returned to your battery .. happens when slowing down and braking
Thank you! Really appreciated your demo’s regarding the different screens, and how to change the settings. After months of waiting we finally picked ours up on Friday!

Thanks for watching and subscribing . congrats on neighbour's able to get one ordered. check out the amount of gas I've burned. it's in latest video.. fyi I'm in 3rd tank now and am trying to drive very passively... at 200km I'm now showing 6.6 litres/100km .. much lower than last 2 tanks .. our gas increased here this morning to $8.04 canadain/gallon
awesome so far its a great little truck .. more updates to come . some of my older footage was shot with my phone. but my 9nyr old and I are getting better we will be using to maverick on our adventures for sure
@@angling_arrows Base Lariat Hybrid. I like the Cactus Gray on the XLT though...looks great with those dark wheels. Almost bought a Ranger....but I'm trying to hold steady for the order....be a while though....ordered it 11/12/21 I have 12' canoe...so exploring options to haul it. It's lightweight Kevlar...got tired of my heavy fishing yak...but yak was definitely more stable to fish from... I like your simple tour of the Maverick, especially the radio. It's seems plenty fine to me. I'm excited to have a small truck again. Been in Subaru's for a few years now...but grew up with small trucks. First was a super reliable 76 Ford Courier. Remember those>?
You're Canadian hybrid power gauge works differently than my US truck. Green is recharge by Regen. White is you're way into the mechanical brakes. Left of ZERO is charging. Right of ZERO is using power. If all electric the meter won't go very high at all (like no more than 10%). Above that you're using the engine. You can use both simultaneously. There's a power flow screen on the center dash that graphically shows the power flow; charging, engine, and/or ev mode.
You've got the power hybrid meter wrong. The green part is too show how efficiently you are charging the battery through regenerative braking. The other portion with the percentage points shows combined electric and engine output. Its not just battery. So you'll never go into the green when your hitting the gas. Its there to help prevent you from using the brakes too much at a given time. If it goes over then you are using your disc brakes and wasting energy that could otherwise be stored by the battery.
thanks for the info . I realized my mistake and included a correction in the next video . . This whole hybrid thing is new to me .. loving the fuel economy though.. if only hybrid was available in AWD
@@ericfitzsimmons1202 yep no doubt.. I saw ford is releasing the maverick tremor it will have selectable 4 wheel drive and locking differentials. be nice but itt will probably cost as much as an mid level f150
Have you noticed that your truck is a different color according to the light? I saw all these photos of the Cactus Grey online and they were all different colors ranging from a cream to a blueish color. I thought it was camera filters but it's actually all those colors depending on the light! And no one is really talking about it!
After 490 days, I just got my Maverick hybrid Lariat with a luxury package that rolled into the 2023 model. Maybe because it's a Lariat lux package or a 2023 model, but I do not see the "Instantaneous" fuel setting as an option. Your display looks different from mine in that yours is in four quadrants and mine is in five lines. Is there something in the Lariat Lux screen that is similar to the Instantaneous setting? This being my first hybrid vehicle, I'm curious as to when it's running in electric mode and when it is in combination mode and what percentage is electric and what is gas. Great video, by the way
@@angling_arrows Yes back in October I was in Gander and I drove by the Kelly Ford. They had one there and I drove that around the lot. That is when my wife realized that there would be a new truck in my future.
I think my vehicle is identical to yours. How do you turn on the pre-collision assist and what does the info screen look like when it is in use? I have mine set on, but I don't get notifications when I approach a vehicle.
There's no indicator to show it's turned on other than in settings menu. When it activates, there's a buzzer, and a large red warning comes on in the dash screen .. but honestly, it doesn't seem to work thst well. There's been times I thiuhjt it should sound and hasn't. others like when approaching a car parked on side of road it's had gone off. the cross traffic warning when backing out of somewhere works well and sounds an alarm .
Mine does the same . I haven't seen anything. all I can think is because it's hybrid and you often don't know it's turned on maybe that why.? although when it's on the regen Guage needle is up so that would tell you the same
@@angling_arrows Yes, There is no "motor sound" to inform you that the ignition is on. So "Ready" is a quiet way of telling you that you did everything correctly, and the truck is ready to drive. Nice video!
I bought them at avalon ford . local ford dealer . I'll dig though the garbage can in garage and have a look at package .. fyi I installed them myself .. and broke tje bug deflector..gonna make for a funny video next week lol
I didn't like the look of them first. they arw pretty flat .ones I've had in the past were more pronounced.. away from vechile. but nkw that these arw on I like them . there's some close up pictures on my Instagram page... i can also post pictures of info sheet there if you like. they arw called Lund an official ford licensed product. I bought at dealer
I've owned mine for a month now. Picked it up on Sept 29. It is now Nov. 16 and I've put 5000 miles on it. At 80 MPH it gets about 26 to 28 MPG. It will also do 110 MPH. Just an FYI.
Thank you for explaining when the engine is running on all ELECTRIC. I have a question about that part of the TRIP gauge: When I start my Maverick above the ELECTRIC blue word it says; ALL ELECTRIC and that stays there until I accelerate a bit...what is this telling me - the ALL ELECTRIC notice on the trip gauge?
Often when you "turn on" your engine there's enough charge in the hybrid battery that the vechile operates totally off thst battery ,, thus all eletric. but due to the very small battery for the hybrid side, as soon as you accelerate the vechilcs requires the gas engine to cut in . if you want to see how big the hybrid battery is, it's tje one under the right side of the rear seat. the battery in the engine compartment it the traditional battery .
Its smart because taking off from a dead start consumes the most fuel in gas engines. The electric engine gets you moving up to speed saving you fuel and then if you pass 40 mph your gas engine kicks in consuming less fuel because its already moving and moving less dead weight helps you get more mpg.
There was a five day window when you could order a 2023 model but if you didn't order in those 5 days you have to wait for a 2024 model or pay a lot more than MSRP off the lot.
Glad you showed the dash configurator. It has almost all the settings I would choose. The only one missing is the tachometer. Not a biggie because you can display instant mpg. Can you configure a tack on your android auto/Apple car play settings? So a tachometer would be displayed on the center dash main screen?
My Hybrid finally scheduled to build on May 5, ordered July 7th. As an owner of electric Leaf there is one guage/meter I have not seen on the Ford. Is there a way to check actual battery charge and capacity? My Leaf will show charge and a bar to show any diminishing of overall life of battery.
I haven't found any indicator for how much charge is actually in the battery... I'm still learning about hybrid/electric vechiles. But a guess for not having a battery Gauge is probably due to it being a non plug in hybrid. It is constantly recharging the battery via brake regeneration. The battery in the Maverick is actually quite small and the vechile switches from has to electric quite often. . I believe your leaf is 100% electric thus when batterybis dead you stop ?
@@angling_arrows it would still be useful to know charge level and life capacity of battery. My leaf has 100000 miles warranty, what is Maverick battery warranty?
Good information. Thanks for posting. It will come in handy IF my Hybrid ever arrives. BTW, did you see the video of the Hybrid catalytic converter glowing red? Very scary.
594 days it took for my Hybrid Maverick to arrive. So I went back and re-watched your most helpful instructional video. And I sent the link to my wife who will probably forget everything here before she drives the Maverick. She still doesn't know all the controls on the 2017 CRV she owns for six years now.
Thanks for the feed back. As I said in the video I'm new to the hybrid technology.. I'll do a correction In an future vehicle update.. Thanks for checking out the video cheers
@@johnteeple8454 thanks I realized my mistake after but unfortunately it's a alot of work to re edit and upload.. at least it wasn't a safety issue mistake 🤷♂️
@@angling_arrows - as that battery needle swings into to 0-100% side, it appears that there is a certain % threshold where the vehicle will transition from “electric powered” to driving with engine running. If it works this way, you can use that to maximize the vehicle running on electric (stay below that percentage mark) - at least when there’s nobody pushing you as you accelerate. You will see that as the temperatures get warmer that the engine runs less and less as you drive about, thus maximizing EV mode usage.
@@dennislyon5412 yep I realized in my haste making video I was incorrect about the brake regen mode on tje left Guage.. I'm new to hybrid.. thanks for the input and I will be uploading a update soon.... when my snowmobiling trip is done..
Some false information here. Green on the gauge isn't for electric usage.... that is charging. The power gauge isn't just for gas or electric, it is a combination of both and can operate in this range under electric or gas.
I agree, it is strange. It may have changed. I am now driving the 2022 2L gas model with the same packages, except I added the co-pilot 360, and you can display the trip screen and speedometer at the same time .
I have a Toyota Tundra 2x2 SR5 that gets 15mpg average without towing. Looking for people who traded in their full sized pickup trucks for the Maverick Hybrid…and trying to find out if they regret the downsizing.
I put aggressive 10 ply tires in my hybrid.. I drive highway. city and tow 1000 to 1500 lbs regular. 6k miles on it overall average is 26mpg I downsized from an f150 and have zero regrets.. obviously less room but price of gas I save I can still do stuff I like
Totally random but I am genuinely curious what accent this is. I couldn't be anymore of a US American and I struggled to understand chunks of this. I can understand accents from foreign countries more easily than this oddly enough. This must def be from somewhere North like Wisconsin or something huh?
I made a slight error when talkkg about the left Guage. goimg to post an quick correction when I can . the green part of Guage shows power being returned to the batteries. thanks again for watching and subscribing
no I don't think I said that in the video. I'll have to watch it again... but electric cuts in and out around the city.. I was averaging about 33% or 1/3 electric. At highway speed it's totally gas.. unless coasting with no accelerator
The Maverick is not a trucklet. Nor is it a compact truck. Ranger & Tacoma which both are WAY bigger than the Mav are compact trucks. Remember back in the 80's when the Japanese trucks first came to North America? They called them MINI TRUCKS. The mav is the same size as a mini truck so the mav is a mini truck. !
No, that's bullshit. I was just telling my wife, and she agreed, that the Maverick seems pretty big! It's 10" shorter than the smallest F-150 and new Ranger. The Maverick is 199" long while the small trucks of the 80's and 90's were much smaller. The old 80's Ford Ranger was 176" long for example.

Its there to help prevent you from using the brakes too much at a given time. If it goes over then you are using your disc brakes and wasting energy that could otherwise be stored by the battery.
thanks for the info . I realized my mistake and included a correction in the next video . . This whole hybrid thing is new to me .. loving the fuel economy though.. if only hybrid was available in AWD
@@angling_arrows AWD is nice BUT realize that AWD cars are running FWD 95 percent of the time
nice when awd drive kicks in though
@@angling_arrows yes, but not everyone understands. Some areas do not need AWD.
@@ericfitzsimmons1202 yep no doubt.. I saw ford is releasing the maverick tremor it will have selectable 4 wheel drive and locking differentials. be nice but itt will probably cost as much as an mid level f150
Awesome video, very detail and well explained, thanks for sharing
You’ve got my exact build, Cactus Grey XLT Hybrid w Lux. Hopefully will having mine by late-June since I finally got scheduled last week
Have you noticed that your truck is a different color according to the light? I saw all these photos of the Cactus Grey online and they were all different colors ranging from a cream to a blueish color. I thought it was camera filters but it's actually all those colors depending on the light! And no one is really talking about it!
you are very good thanks just got my xlt thanks
did you get the hybrid as well?
I order it the 6 june and now i am strings in it in my garage with à goid scotch and plYing with what i learn here
Yes hybrid
After 490 days, I just got my Maverick hybrid Lariat with a luxury package that rolled into the 2023 model. Maybe because it's a Lariat lux package or a 2023 model, but I do not see the "Instantaneous" fuel setting as an option. Your display looks different from mine in that yours is in four quadrants and mine is in five lines. Is there something in the Lariat Lux screen that is similar to the Instantaneous setting? This being my first hybrid vehicle, I'm curious as to when it's running in electric mode and when it is in combination mode and what percentage is electric and what is gas. Great video, by the way
Thanks for watching. I haven't seen the 2023 lariat lux.. but there were some changes in the 2023 models .. I'll see what I can find out.
Excellent information presented. I would like to get together with you and go over the hybrid, while I am waiting for my hybrid.
Absolutely. not a problem.. Were you lucky enough to drive a maverick before you ordered it.. They arw pretty scarce around here..
I'm out of town next week. hit me up after that. My email is in channel description
@@angling_arrows Yes back in October I was in Gander and I drove by the Kelly Ford. They had one there and I drove that around the lot. That is when my wife realized that there would be a new truck in my future.
@@angling_arrows Will do. I live in St. John's.
@@waynestokes9046 I'm in torbay
I think my vehicle is identical to yours. How do you turn on the pre-collision assist and what does the info screen look like when it is in use? I have mine set on, but I don't get notifications when I approach a vehicle.
There's no indicator to show it's turned on other than in settings menu. When it activates, there's a buzzer, and a large red warning comes on in the dash screen .. but honestly, it doesn't seem to work thst well. There's been times I thiuhjt it should sound and hasn't. others like when approaching a car parked on side of road it's had gone off. the cross traffic warning when backing out of somewhere works well and sounds an alarm .
@@angling_arrows Thank you. Does the active brake ever work?
Thanks, how do we know if collision assist works on XL
Do you have the link to where you purchased the bug shield for your maverick?I want to purchase but can't find one like yours,thank you.
I will get it and post link. but in the mean time I bought it from the Ford dealer . it's a Ford accessory
Awesome thank you and your truck looks awesome!
great content
Why does it say ready in the cluster. Can’t figure out why mine says that
Mine does the same . I haven't seen anything. all I can think is because it's hybrid and you often don't know it's turned on maybe that why.? although when it's on the regen Guage needle is up so that would tell you the same
@@angling_arrows Yes, There is no "motor sound" to inform you that the ignition is on. So "Ready" is a quiet way of telling you that you did everything correctly, and the truck is ready to drive. Nice video!
Can you tell me what brand window vent visors you have please? Ty
I bought them at avalon ford . local ford dealer . I'll dig though the garbage can in garage and have a look at package .. fyi I installed them myself .. and broke tje bug deflector..gonna make for a funny video next week lol
@@angling_arrows Thanks! they are different than the current visors that are available. If you could get the package info that would help a lot. Ty
I didn't like the look of them first. they arw pretty flat .ones I've had in the past were more pronounced.. away from vechile. but nkw that these arw on I like them . there's some close up pictures on my Instagram page... i can also post pictures of info sheet there if you like. they arw called Lund an official ford licensed product. I bought at dealer
I've owned mine for a month now. Picked it up on Sept 29. It is now Nov. 16 and I've put 5000 miles on it. At 80 MPH it gets about 26 to 28 MPG. It will also do 110 MPH. Just an FYI.
Thanks!
Thank you for explaining when the engine is running on all ELECTRIC. I have a question about that part of the TRIP gauge: When I start my Maverick above the ELECTRIC blue word it says; ALL ELECTRIC and that stays there until I accelerate a bit...what is this telling me - the ALL ELECTRIC notice on the trip gauge?
Often when you "turn on" your engine there's enough charge in the hybrid battery that the vechile operates totally off thst battery ,, thus all eletric. but due to the very small battery for the hybrid side, as soon as you accelerate the vechilcs requires the gas engine to cut in . if you want to see how big the hybrid battery is, it's tje one under the right side of the rear seat. the battery in the engine compartment it the traditional battery .
Its smart because taking off from a dead start consumes the most fuel in gas engines. The electric engine gets you moving up to speed saving you fuel and then if you pass 40 mph your gas engine kicks in consuming less fuel because its already moving and moving less dead weight helps you get more mpg.
makes sense
I luv luv luv my Maverik!
Excellent, I love mine too, easy to get around the city and enough truck to do what I need in the woods
Thanks for posting notice a lot of people want to make Maverick commercials etc failed to mention you can't get one
There was a five day window when you could order a 2023 model but if you didn't order in those 5 days you have to wait for a 2024 model or pay a lot more than MSRP off the lot.
Glad you showed the dash configurator. It has almost all the settings I would choose. The only one missing is the tachometer. Not a biggie because you can display instant mpg. Can you configure a tack on your android auto/Apple car play settings? So a tachometer would be displayed on the center dash main screen?
The tach is not something I've tried. but I would think it would require your truck computer to link via wifi to your phone . so I doubt it
glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching
Just got mine today XL hybrid
Congratulations on the new vehicle
My Hybrid finally scheduled to build on May 5, ordered July 7th. As an owner of electric Leaf there is one guage/meter I have not seen on the Ford. Is there a way to check actual battery charge and capacity? My Leaf will show charge and a bar to show any diminishing of overall life of battery.
I haven't found any indicator for how much charge is actually in the battery... I'm still learning about hybrid/electric vechiles. But a guess for not having a battery Gauge is probably due to it being a non plug in hybrid. It is constantly recharging the battery via brake regeneration. The battery in the Maverick is actually quite small and the vechile switches from has to electric quite often. . I believe your leaf is 100% electric thus when batterybis dead you stop ?
@@angling_arrows it would still be useful to know charge level and life capacity of battery. My leaf has 100000 miles warranty, what is Maverick battery warranty?
@@billh4301 I ageee a battery charge Gauge would be nice for sure .. I actually have no idea how long the warranty on the battery is.
The light time.isnr how long the light stays on its how long when it auto dims due to another car when it comes back on
Good information. Thanks for posting. It will come in handy IF my Hybrid ever arrives. BTW, did you see the video of the Hybrid catalytic converter glowing red? Very scary.
594 days it took for my Hybrid Maverick to arrive. So I went back and re-watched your most helpful instructional video. And I sent the link to my wife who will probably forget everything here before she drives the Maverick. She still doesn't know all the controls on the 2017 CRV she owns for six years now.
🤣🤣🤣
that's insane year and a half delivery.
you are wrong about the left side instrument....when the needle goes into the green that's how much regenerative braking you are doing
Thanks for the feed back. As I said in the video I'm new to the hybrid technology.. I'll do a correction In an future vehicle update.. Thanks for checking out the video
cheers
@@angling_arrows no problem….thanks for the reply and I do enjoy your videos 👍
@@johnteeple8454 thanks I realized my mistake after but unfortunately it's a alot of work to re edit and upload.. at least it wasn't a safety issue mistake 🤷♂️
@@angling_arrows - as that battery needle swings into to 0-100% side, it appears that there is a certain % threshold where the vehicle will transition from “electric powered” to driving with engine running. If it works this way, you can use that to maximize the vehicle running on electric (stay below that percentage mark) - at least when there’s nobody pushing you as you accelerate. You will see that as the temperatures get warmer that the engine runs less and less as you drive about, thus maximizing EV mode usage.
@@dennislyon5412 yep I realized in my haste making video I was incorrect about the brake regen mode on tje left Guage.. I'm new to hybrid.. thanks for the input and I will be uploading a update soon.... when my snowmobiling trip is done..
Some false information here. Green on the gauge isn't for electric usage.... that is charging. The power gauge isn't just for gas or electric, it is a combination of both and can operate in this range under electric or gas.
I did realize my mistake after and corrected it in the next video.. but thanks for tje clarification.. its great people can read it here in comments
some nice tips Eh
thanks Glad they helped
I don't know why you can't get a digital speed reading when you're in the trip screens. Doesn't make sense
I agree, it is strange. It may have changed. I am now driving the 2022 2L gas model with the same packages, except I added the co-pilot 360, and you can display the trip screen and speedometer at the same time .
@@angling_arrowsthanks
Instaneous fuel not active to select, anyway to make it an active option?
yes you can select which screens display. the maximum number is 5 I think . Go into settings in dash and display setting click fuel
I have a Toyota Tundra 2x2 SR5 that gets 15mpg average without towing. Looking for people who traded in their full sized pickup trucks for the Maverick Hybrid…and trying to find out if they regret the downsizing.
I put aggressive 10 ply tires in my hybrid.. I drive highway. city and tow 1000 to 1500 lbs regular. 6k miles on it overall average is 26mpg I downsized from an f150 and have zero regrets.. obviously less room but price of gas I save I can still do stuff I like
I know a guy stock tires no towing getting 30 +mpg
Totally random but I am genuinely curious what accent this is. I couldn't be anymore of a US American and I struggled to understand chunks of this. I can understand accents from foreign countries more easily than this oddly enough. This must def be from somewhere North like Wisconsin or something huh?
Thank you!
glad you enjoyed
I made a slight error when talkkg about the left Guage. goimg to post an quick correction when I can . the green part of Guage shows power being returned to the batteries.
thanks again for watching and subscribing
Oh the things I’ll watch while waiting…
are you waiting for a truck to arrive.. or just waiting in general lol
So you can drive 65mph on electric power alone?
no I don't think I said that in the video. I'll have to watch it again... but electric cuts in and out around the city.. I was averaging about 33% or 1/3 electric. At highway speed it's totally gas.. unless coasting with no accelerator
Totally glad the timmies cup fits too eh😂
absolutely got to fit a Tim's cup
The Maverick is not a trucklet. Nor is it a compact truck. Ranger & Tacoma which both are
WAY bigger than the Mav are compact trucks. Remember back in the 80's when the Japanese
trucks first came to North America? They called them MINI TRUCKS. The mav is the same
size as a mini truck so the mav is a mini truck.
!
mini truck works ... most of my buddies call it my cute truck 😁
No, that's bullshit. I was just telling my wife, and she agreed, that the Maverick seems pretty big! It's 10" shorter than the smallest F-150 and new Ranger. The Maverick is 199" long while the small trucks of the 80's and 90's were much smaller. The old 80's Ford Ranger was 176" long for example.
I parked mine in between two F150s the other day and it looked like they had a baby.
@@WhittyPics 🤣
Big ole daddy caulk
AS LONG AS YOU DO UP TO 40 MPH YOU WILL BE IN ELECTRIC MODE.
? Mine has come on while idling before
Tim Horton’s is the best!
Bahaha yep agreed
Thats not how the power indicator works, like at all.
I do realize I was in correct. I tried to get it right in the next video. a few of the comments also give some correct info...
You can also start the Maverick from anywhere you have phone signal. Better yet,,, You can turn it off if somebody steals it.
Yep . I think the Ford pass app is pretty much standard now on most ford's
@@angling_arrows it’s the first new vehicle we’ve bought in 20 years
