It took exactly 10 months to get my 2022 Maverick XLT. I ordered it with the 2.0 ecoboost, Co-Pilot 360, and XLT Luxury Package. Financed it through Ford Credit for 0.9%. Extremely happy with it. Took it on a road trip from Houston to Dallas with 500 miles on the odometer and got 31.3 mpg driving 70-75 mph.
Billy thank you for adding helpful information for our community
That's probably better MPG than my 2.slo/CVT Crosstrek gets with the cruise set at 75MPH. It can get over 40MPG set at 55MPH, but starts sucking it down above 65MPH.
How did you get 0.9% apr
Gotta say the wait is worth the Hybrid. I ordered mine June 2021 and received it Jan 2022. Area 51 w/ the luxury package. Mostly city driving and average 45mpg in the warmer months. It’s dropped to around 40MPG in winter.
Brad thank you For sharing your Intel with us
Can't complain about that. But I can complain about the availability and stupid markups
Yea the 7 month wait was new to me. Fortunately my dealer sold at MSRP
Yea the 7 month wait was new to me. Fortunately my dealer sold at MSRP
@@JamaicanMeCrazy Yeah, the 2023 Maverick sold out in 4 days with 75% of the orders being for Hybrids when only 35% of them will be built.
I absolutely love my ecoboost Fx4 Maverick, no issues with it, I’ve owned it since October 2021.
Shelby's garage thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us here
I waited 10 months for a fully loaded lariat AWD. Originally ordered early November of 2021. After 10 months waiting and no info from my dealer or Ford, I started looking for something else. Found a new 22 Ranger lariat Tremor with no markup that just arrived on an out of state lot. Reserved it and bought it later that day. Couldn’t be happier! I appreciate all of your info when I was waiting on the Maverick. Will be waiting for some info on the redesign of the Ranger. Happy New Year!
Chris thank you for the intel and a Happy New year to you as well. Tremor is the Ranger I would get as well
Go Johnny! I’ve waited and waited but no Maverick XL hybrid. I’m not switching. The class action suit is just starting. Ford can deliver or pay us.
I'm sitting in a Ford escape with the 2 l EcoBoost and I have 201,000 miles on it.
Wow! That is great information. Thank you for taking the time to share with our car community here at j. C c r.
I have the 2023 Hybird and drive 80% at 90km per hour at 70 km a day I’m getting 5.4 liters per 100 km which is a lot better than rated. I would not buy the 2 liter at what I drive We drove down to Tennessee driving a lot at 70mpg and we averaged 38.9 mpg it cost me $283 Canadian to go 3205hm love my Hybird .
Wow. Great info Gerald. Thank you for sharing
if toyota makes a small hybrid truck that would be game over for ford maverick.. hurry up toyota!!!
Prawn star I am sure tota would make a great small truck however if they do there will be delays for most people unless they order the minute Toyota is accepting orders. To think there will not be delays is to completely ignore the 5 to 6 year delay for the Toyota Ralph 4 prime
Not necessarily Prawn. Ford will also come out with a plug-in or hybrid that can tow 4000lbs soon after Toyota’ release. Ford certainly won’t idly stand by and not improve/update the Maverick to keep the demand up during what surely be an up hill battle just like the other manufacturers.
@@shannonjurgens3667 competition is a good thing!
Ford Maverick hybrid design is derived from Toyota hybrids
They need to correct the carbon built up on the valves of the 2.0 ecoboost
JCC&R - You, of all people, know that Poodles are shady AF... Poodles are less reliable than the electronics in British cars!
Lol. Fragile when it's the miniatures but those Royal Poodles are tough. Know what is more loyal than a glued to your hip poodle. These poodles stick to us like a cancelled holster
Wow super high production values! This is nice!
James I'm not sure if you mean this sarcastically but either way thank you for interacting with the community. Also a huge thank you for watching
Not only are they on the second edition of the 2.0 Ecoboost, in late 2019 models they changed the cooling passages so there is a wider area for the head gasket to seal.
William Scott that is the type of incredible added information that you regularly add to our community. Thank you so much for helping everyone get great additional information and value from our community here
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews Is a catch can still needed? Is walnut blasting still needed?
@@billquattlebaum1577 pretty much every direct injection gas engine will benefit from intake cleaning down the road. Walnut blasting is more work (to remove intake manifold) but cleans better than chemicals injected into the manifold.
@@davebrown9725 So how often do you think the blasting should be done?
@@billquattlebaum1577 I'll defer to someone with a borescope to do a quick visual. Some engines get dirty quicker than others.
I am not a mechanic, but I watch many on youtube.
I purchased my Maverick directly from a dealer,because someone order this Maverick and purchased something else because they got tired of waiting.My Maverick is 2.oL turbo and I love it. I have 23 and I have over 17000 mi. already and I wish I could have gotten this truck yrs ago. I won't give it up for anything other than a new Maverick. I am totally happy with my Maverick
Merlin, thank you very much for sharing your ownership experience. We really appreciate owner feedback as it is the best source of information besides data if the data is collected in an appropriate manner with good questions. Not. What's the type that lead to sought after conclusions
My XLT hybrid with LUX and Black Accent Package arrived. I picked it up today. Cyber Orange "School Bus Yellow". Looks fantastic. I do NOT feel the grabby brake "problem". Its a truck, rides stiffer than my 2011 Nissan Quest Minivan its replacing. Have TuxMats, Revolver4xS tonneau, tailgate damper, tailgate letters to install. Its 10 celcius (50F) on Friday. So, thats the day for truck mods. Thanks Johnny and Marie for the RUclips content. The truck is worth the wait. Drive home, 60 Kms (37 miles) averaged 4.8L/100kms or 49 MPG!
when did you order your truck?
Awesome intel and feedback. Thank you Tom for sharing it with our community. We appreciate the help
@@darenmccommon1700 Jan 18th 2022
Ford over underestimated the demands of hybrid model,. It put one year efforts making 0 improvement on hybrid, but on tremor. That's wrong direction and proved by market demands now. If I need to switch to ecoboost engine, i will seriously consider it's rival Santa cruz.
Thank you for adding your input to our community
Pretty sad the Hybrid is the base model and they can’t produce enough
I didn't know about the gasket failure. Mine is 2022 built in Oct 2021.fx4 4k so far so good. I have 2 recalls but the airbags are not in stock yet and my appointment for the other isn't till February every dealer is backed up in my area.
Thank you for the intel. As of 2019 2.0l I would not worry at all about gasket issue
I've been driving the same hybrid drive line in my C-Max we bought new in '13. Very dependable, close to 80,000 miles on the clock.
Brad your input is very much appreciated. Happy New Year
Same here Brad.
My 2016 CMax had no issues and I sold it last year for a fortune to Carvana. Picked up a Maverick Hybrid yesterday in upstate PA. Drama free purchase off the lot.
Drove it home and got 51.8 mpg without trying. Below MSRP
Love Ford Maverick big problem I ordered over a year ago for hybrid still have not received it I hope anybody repeat anybody makes a nice small four-door truck with decent fuel mileage will buy in a heartbeat
I have the 2.0 Eco boost in my Maverick and drove from Ft. Lauderdale to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and round trip averaged 32.2 Hwy and 30.3 overall for my trip.
Thank you for sharing that helpful information with our community. It is appreciated
I got my 2024 Maverick in January 2024, in the last week of March 2024, the check engine light come up with 4.745 miles. So, they kept the truck for an entire week and they replace the Heather Exchange, and I checked for the faulty code, and saw that it's a very usual fault on Maverick.
I hope it really fixed the issue.
My Maverick is hybrid and is actually doing 43 miles per gallon, and I drive around 180 miles a day
i wanna share for the stats. I ordered my Maverick 1/26/22 (very last day) and just picked it up 12/13/22. specs are Lariat lux package, 4k towing, and off road package. spay in bed line too since that is a factor as well.
Thank you captain for your information and details. It helps our community no more and grow bigger and get more details so again thank you it is appreciated
I have a hybrid order in canada. my sales person says keep de hybrid because the only order with their allocation capacity. I order on September 28
He says you're next in line then definitely keep your order as it is
Quite a few hybrid owners are starting to notice coolant loss with no discernable leak. This worries me that Fords known coolant intrusion problems in their small engines are still happening, and not just an ecoboost problem anymore.
I will need more Intel and details on this problem before commenting on it.
Thank you for bringing up this issue
I have the ecoboost lariat, but the gas mileage is terrible! I mean awful. Averaging 18mpg
That is awful. Usually, that happens when there's either something wrong mechanically or if you're heavy on the pedal. Ecoboost technology is either eco namic four boost and fast Never both
Great video Johnny! You guys are the best. Thanks for giving the community such great information. And the bow tie!!!! How classy. Will you do test drives and hands on videos with the "Tie" also?
Jim, likely yes. Thank you for all the support and encouragement that you have provided. I hope you spent a very merry Christmas with friends and family
I've had the same 2.0 in the ST since 2015 and no issues at all. It's a great platform.
Justin thank you for the excellent feedback. We appreciate it
Good stuff here. I'm going to roll the dice and hope that my 2023 hybrid XLT in cyber orange gets built. I got my order in on day 2 so I feel good about my chances.
I waited 1.6 years to get my Hybrid maverick and the day I picked it up the dash cluster stopped working, no clue how fast I was going and I pulled a fuse to reset it per a RUclips video and fixed the problem.I have 650 miles on it so far and its parked now because I noticed my company mavericks are crap. We have 15 in the fleet and I seen it all. From the engine revving full throttle uncommanded to the door stop when you open them lever breaking. We have 4 of them that the battery dies for no reason and the list goes on. These are first year trucks under warranty with less than 10K miles used in an aircraft maintenance environment. I'm selling my maverick soon. At least I will get my return on my investment. Thats the only good thing I can see. I wish this was not true because I love the idea of the Maverick in general. To bad its a failure in my book
I forgot one thing. I have been weighing out if I should sell my 2023 Maverick in light of the dependability issues or to get the best factory extended warranty. Sure it's 3K to 6K but to me that makes me feel better about my investment but now the price point just took a leap. But for anyone that is thinking of buying a Maverick I think this would be a must. Also y ford dealership tried to throw in a paint and body protection warranty and said it's standard and I called their bluff. Bottom line don't fall for any extra warranty protection as a standard charge. I will never shop at friendly ford in Las Vegas again because of this scam they tried on me
Thank you for the feedback. I'm sorry to hear this and honestly surprised. We have 4 as loaners at the dealership and I know a lot of people that own them and have never heard of so many problems on such a small sample. Honestly this is far more problems then I have seen across the 70 or so that my dealership has delivered.
I ordered my 22 Maverick Hybrid XLT Lux package CP360 on 11/21. I wasn't in a rush to get it but now I'm eagerly waiting. I just removed weather proof floor mats and tri-fold toneau cover. Hopefully I get good news in the next 6 months or so🤞🏼
Good choice!
That’s what I wanted too but was on the understanding we can’t make any changes as I have a build date with vin number.
Firstly. Great video.
I keep hearing about all the bad news on the Maverick, from not getting g their orders in a timely manner. And some other things !
I ordered my 36k yes 36k Maverick with pretty much everything except the 4k pkg. i ordered my maverick in sept of 21 and received it Dec 31 2021 it took less than 90 days from ordering to receiving my maverick.
I now have 11,000 miles and I have not had any problems. The vehicle with its 250 HP AWD gets up and goes really well and passing capability is great 👍🏽
I averaged about 26 in town and I’ve gotten up to 33 mpg on the highway with open roads… when I fill the maverick it shows about 400 miles per tank ..
so with my 2022 Ford Maverick Lariat I’m pretty impressed considering I live in the Bay Area in California.. where has today is about 4.75 a gallon.
So far so good . Don’t let people downplay the vehicle in a whole .. yes there has been some issues.. but it’s a reliable little truck !
Thank you for the most excellent intel. We really appreciate information and help like this. 👍
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews no problem. Anytime brother !
Quick question. Have you heard about a hack for the cluster gages that when you push the OK and start button there’s an ET IN GREEN THAT POPS UP AMD IT SHOWS HOW TO RESET A BUNCH OF SETTINGS .. ?
Let us know if you can do a video if you find it or how to do it . I tried doing it but perhaps it only for the XLT or hybrid ..
2.0 vs hybrid.. there's a huge difference in actual MPG. They really undersold the hybrid, and oversold the MPG on the 2.0 in compassion with people who own them.
Thank you for the comment. My buddy owned a 2.0l and we owned a Hybrid. Huge difference in town but highway driving did not present a huge difference
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews ahh ok. Ty for the reply!
Thanks Johnny! Great video. Now I know what my 2023 Ecoboost will sound like at idle - a very busy little sewing machine! 😃
Lol. That is actually a good descriptive
I ordered my hybrid lux package in August 2021, finally told I am scheduled for build this week
Finisher. thanks for the information Johnny.
Mark thank you for watching the whole video and taking the time to drop a comment as it helps our community grow and helps the information get out to more people. Thank you for your support.
It will be 15 mths for me to get my Hybird if it get built on Jan9th
That's right being that you have a Vin and bill date nothing can be changed but I congratulate you on the fact that soon you will be getting your Maverick just like us. We were the week of January 9th and are now scheduled to the day of the 13th. I wonder how many Maverick builds will be between yours and mine. We can share vins later
15 months of waiting and I'm now the owner of a 23 Mav XLT Hybrid! Totally gave up long ago. Surprise call that it arrived 2 weeks ago, bought it last week. Ford gave a big rebate for the wait, so I couldn't pass it up. I could flip it, but think I'll keep 'er instead!!!
Eli...awesome news. Congrats and thank you for sharing. Please come back and give us updates regularly on its performance etc
Those engine bays are a mess of wires and tubes!
Can Ford tell us, on what (original order) date will be the end of the Hybrid builds? October 9th, 2021 for my order. Yes or No, will mine get built? I need an answer so I can keep waiting or move on.
If your dealer did what is called The COVP or in roll process then you will be getting A hybrid. As an October 2021 order you are also likely the be scheduled in the upcoming months
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews Yes, we did that, drivers license copy, etc.
I am in it for the long haul. I ordered a 2023 xlt hybrid when the ordering banks were open in sept. I ordered the rear sliding window, engine block heater, co-pilot 360 and rear hitch. Don't think I will tow anything with it, but think it looks better with it on. I have a f-150 4x4 if I need to tow anything.
Good luck!
I ended up getting a 2015 Frontier Pro-4X Crew Cab with only 100k kms on it $23,500 CA. out the door !! Nice Truck and I like it so far, but what a PIG on Gas !! Kept my Stinger GT.. May upgraded to a Honda Ridgeline in 2-3 Years.
Thanks for sharing
Any opinion for you should I leave the hybrid order
Marcio if you are a carry over hold on to your hybrid and if you are a new order for hybrid but got it in day one and your order was enrolled then you are good to go. However if you're A-day 2 or especially A-day 3 or day 4 hybrid order than a highly recommend you switch over to the ecoboost
Have you heard of people having issues with the brakes on the hybrid? Whenever I stop my brakes lock up for about 2-3 seconds before it makes an audible click and starts rolling forward. To me it’s one of the most annoying things about my car. And it’s not the autobrakehold feature, I hate using that. But the car practically does it itself anyway
No I have not heard of this and this does not seem normal at all.. I check with your service department at your local Ford store as they can verify it when you're in 4 an oil change. If the brakes actually are locking up and the caliper js remaining fully compressed against the disk then they will fix this under warranty
With my high hopes for the Maverick fading, it looks like it's going to be a Toyota Tacoma for me. I may wait until later in the year to decide though. I went through the recall crap with a Dodge Stratus and regretted it. We shall see.
Same. I was hoping to get my maverick this year but I’ve decided that if I haven’t gotten at least a build date by the summer I’ll be buying a Nissan Frontier.
Point Reyes thank you for the Intel and keep us posted and how things work out for you.
Johnny, I heard that Ford is going to be making a full Electric Ford Maverick. Is this true?I have a Lariat 2.0 awd Maverick and love it.I would sell for a EV version.
Very much a one day type of scenario and a lot can change between now and then. I'd say definetely not before 2026
So do you think stand-alone hitches will be built in Hybrid or is that going to kill builds this year?
It will cause some to not get built this year. Hybrid being the bigger issue
Is it because they can’t produce enough batteries or did they just drop the ball on how popular they have become?
Little of both I assume
Think it mostly they can’t build the electric motors that work as the transmission at a high enough rate.
They can't get a hold of enough batteries
The hybrid system has been in use since 2008 in the Ford escape hybrid system as taxi cabs. They are proven so reliability is a plus. The hybrid system is from Toyota that ford is duplicating.
The 2.5 liter engine is a Mazda engine that has been proven. I believe if it’s not broken, do not fix it.
Great comment. Thank you for being a part of the community and sharing with our community
The 2.0 sounds a bit ticky-clicky but she's got decent power. I've got 32,000 miles on mine and change my oil every 4,000 miles (ordered 2.0 AWD FX4 4K-Tow in June 21 and received it Nov 6, 21). My engine was built in Valencia Spain which I am told is better than the Cleveland, Ohio Engine Plant.
Awesome intel scotty
My hybrid XLT lux co360 order is said to be in production in 3 weeks! However, I'm anticipating it to be delayed again. Hopefully I'm wrong
Our dubs I hope you are wrong and I hope you get it soon. I look forward to you sharing your experiences with your Maverick with all of us
I've put 22,000 miles on my hybrid. IT WAS GETTING 45 MPG BEFORE THE RECALL WHEN THEY MESSSED WITH THE RADIATOR FINS. IT GOT 32 MPG DRIVING HOME FROM THE DEALLER AFTER THEY MESSED WITH IT. ENGINE TEMPS NOW VARY DRASTICALLY AS YOU DRIVE NOW,AS COMPAREDED TO 45 MPG AND CONSTAANT TEMPS BECFORE.
Very Odd Harold. Thank you for the details and I'd love to see more extensive testing to better confirm results
I'm holding out for my hybrid lux 360 XLT. It's been 15 months so I'm hoping I'm in that 30% that will get it.
You will be if your dealer did everything correctly
I wish you the best of luck and look forward to you giving us a positive update
Problem is it needs a 6SM with their 2.7L T V6, throw on a 6.5' bed while your at it. 😊
Right on! That would be insane and deeply troublesome to all other auto makers. We often neglect and forget thst Ford has some extremely impressive motors and the overall package would be out of this world if put in lighter vehicles
You might want to check the spelling of the word “cycle” at time stamp 20.
This is a very good review
That is very kind of you end. I really appreciate you're support
A full tank of gas in my hybrid Mav lasts me about 3-4 weeks lol. Granted I’m only driving 30 or so miles a day
Finisher. Eagerly awaiting January 30th.
Thanks
Thank you Jim Duran for the support and encouragement
What the wait time does is throw Ford customers to the wolves, that is the car dealerships w/their insane markups. There is no way I will wait 6 years for a vehicle. I will just change brands & buy something else OR just hold on to what I have until it falls apart.
I've got dozens of videos explaining the wait times and they are not 6 years. Dozens of videos on how to get your price protected and get msrp with no dealer fees. Being misinformed and overpaying are choices and unfortunately it requireds some time and research to get the right price no matter what brand you buy from their are bad dealers
Of all the orders that in production now, how many are for dealer inventory? Is that information available? Thanks for your content and info.👍
From my understanding and what im seeing in the system is thst Dealers can try but Ford will only build dealer inventory if they can't build any customer orders at thst precise moment at the factory
Hey Johnny, I know you mentioned that Ford should be offering lower financing interest rates for those that ordered a Maverick in the earlier days. Any extra info regarding this?
We will get a special rebate but I do believe we'll have to live with the 2023 interest rate. However we should be able to lock in the 1st available 2023 interestraint that was offered in September. If I discover a way to lock in the 2022 rate I will let everyone know
I see cute dogs in videos, I click like
The hybrid gets a lot better mileage than the EcoBoost. Atleast 10mpg if not more
re. awd system, being fwd bias, is the 4w lock a locking center diff like suv's have, or more like a truck 4H but w/Fwd bias / reverse system ? What does that lock do exactly ? I actually like how suv and car awd systems work more than how truck 4H systems work.. not having that skip issue... I think it's better and good for powering thru mud and up hills (experience with my '11 Santa Fe V6 awd), having the rear lock as well on this is a bonus and why I am leaning towards a tremor over the fx4. Also, the trail control is not only for hill descent, but it's a forward/uphill crawl mode, to assist when accidentally over spinning is a negative ? And, if you can indulge me a bit more, can you explain what All the dif. modes do ? in detail. I am trying to find this info so I can compare to other awd/4x4 systems before deciding on which one I go for. Example, the Ridgelines system is pretty decent and manages to figure out tough terrain. How does fx4 and tremors modes diff. to Honda's ? I understand the basics of what they do, but more full detailed understanding would be awesome !! example, I'm curious do any modes, like sand, simulate being in a locking center diff. and give torque to all 4 wheels to fight up a hill with ice and all 4 are slipping ? Look forward to your input on this. I'm hoping to decide on a truck during the Christmas holiday promotions (if any are lower interest % rates to take advantage).
Lucky one 😂😂 NO THANK YOU no even a f150 TACOMA TRD or Trailhunter 👏🏽💯🍻
the mpg on the window sticker is off by allot..... i drive between 85 and 90km/hour 30mins to work and 30mins back and im getting consistenly 46mpg with the hybrid.....i have noticed though once you get on an expressway and go about 110km/hour it drops down to about 34mpg
John thank you for the fantastic information. I appreciate that you've taken the time to collect this data and also share with us because my goal for the J CCR community is that we do exactly that, Help each other out
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews thanks and I hope you’re wife gets hers soon…. It’s been a long wait but you helped me out last year when you gave the advice of removing the spray in bed liner, I removed that and two weeks later my Maverick was booked to be built. Enjoy your RUclips channel keep up the good work 👍
Seriously considering trading my bronco sport for the hybrid maverick. Need an actual bed to lug bikes and smaller items from home depot, etc. Trailer hitch would be nice to pull kayaks, ultra light camper, etc. Really attracted by the Mpg that's what got my interest to begin with.
You'll probably only have to wait a year or 2
I haul all kinds of things with a Crosstrek. I have roof crossbars and a rear hitch. It pulls my 4x8 folding Harbor Freight trailer fine. Canoes, kayaks, bikes, snowboards, surfboards, cargo boxes, 4x8 sheets, lumber, pipe/tube, and other things fit on the roof. Bikes, snowboards, and cargo fit on a hitch rack. I've towed motos, small boats, firewood, and a number of other bulky/heavy/dirty things.
Your Bronco Sport has 500lb more towing capacity. It could probably even manage towing a MacGregor 19 powersailer cabinboat, while I have to use my wife's V6 SUV for something like that.
What kind of MPG can the Bronco Sport manage with the cruise set at 55-65MPH?
I had the hardest time deciding between the Maverick and the Bronco Sport Badlands. I ended up going with the Badlands because we thought it would be more practical to put the luggage where it would stay dry instead of in the back of a truck and need a cover. Additionally, I drove escapes from October 1, 2000 until December 16, 2021. I had a 2001 Escape and then bought a 2008 Escape. The 2008 Escape was incredibly dependable and running gray until it got totaled by a guy running a red light. My Escape had over 280,000 miles and had the original engine, radiator, alternator, timing chain, and a few more original things. Water pump changed at around 250,000 miles, oxygen sensors changed for the first time with 278,000 miles, ignition module changed at about 240,000 miles, and the rest was pretty much tires, brakes, oil changes. The bronco sport looks more like my 2008 Escape than the new escapes do. The Bronco sport can be dressed up a little more than the Maverick. For starters. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm still surprised that no Maverick can come with factory fog lights. One disappointment of the Bronco sport is a low towing capacity compared to the Maverick even though the same engine.
What about the carbon buildup problem many have talked about with the ecoboost? Also, I have read that the ecoboost engines need a catch can added. Has Ford solved these problems, or do they still exist? I have also read that the oil should be changed as early as 3,000 miles on the ecoboost even if you use full synthetic oil.
Carbon build up was an issue, especially for those that did long idle prior to adding port injection. I've got a recent video that covers all this and more. Please check it out
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews Thanks for that information!
Some of those hybrid orders will be dropped because some of buyers are hybrid or nothing. That may free up some 2.0 units for sale for those who want them.
Ford is using the Maverick as a loss leader. It is in the line up in base hybrid form to get the corporate CAFE number up. Once they get past a certain number, they have served their purpose. They don’t need to make little money on extra sold units.
Hopefully, other compact will come into the market so Maverick has more competition.
Thanks for the info
One reviewer mentioned the tranny, or diff. or something is rated to handle 257 lb ft of torque, but the engine is dishing out 270 range, sooooo ???Hmm... can the drivetrain handle this at full torque ? in the long run, will it slowly get warned down/break down ??
It was Sarah from Sarah n tuned. I thought it was at its limit however and not surpassing. It's the tranny for Lincoln and Edge so I'm not too worried.
how about the oil pump belt being rubber & causing failers ? Suppose to be a problem too ??
We have yet to see that issue come in at our dealership. What has been your experience in regards to this problem? Thank you for posing a great question
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews I don't have one, but am considering buying a Maverick 2.0L temor and wondering if something like this is too serious or not ? and to be safe, if one should change out the oil pump belt or whole thing, after 100K kms to be safe or ? most cars have this part as a metal chain, and not a rubber belt so really seems stupid and potentially Big $$ failure issue. if you find more on this and how many % are having trouble, please update with a video on it. I will do the same
If the 2024 order banks open say August and you have a 2023 hybrid ordered do you order a 2024 since you may never get the 2023 you ordered ?
I will cover exact instructions on what to do when we get there but likely come reorder time we will need to put in another order using the same code.
I put my order in on the second day hybrid XLT moon roof copilot 360 the banks were open if I don't get built I will not put another order in then I'll just have to figure it out after that fingers crossed I know you said if you were second day for orders your in the danger zone. I don't want a Ecoboost I had a ranger and honestly I wasn't impressed with the mpg of the ranger I don't expect it any better with the maverick
It is about 20% better for the Maverick vs Ranger
Booyah 👊 😁 👍 🇺🇲 🇲🇽🇨🇦
what about the transmission?
Solid transmission for either the hybrids Ecvt or the 2.0l ecoboost trans.
do the ecoboost engines need oil catch cans?
I'd say no. Isn't there already a tube to bring the oil vapor back to the oil pan? I think so.
My ecoboost is on a train on its way to me!
Right on! I want to hear all about your drive impressions after you get it
If I switch, is it still a upgrade in cost?
And if I put a catch can on the eco, will it void the warranty?
The price will remain the same except for on the Lariat model
Verify with your dealer and if they will require that they install it.
Sorry. but its too early to tell if that powertrain (Engine and trans) will be reliable. 2.0 had its share of faults early on (Coolant Intrusions) and it can have many more as makers tweak things when they put them in new models. Also, that 8 speed transmission isnt all that great either as many Ford Escape owners claim needing a new transmission between just 21,000 miles and 80,000 miles. Yes there are some with over 100k but time will tell. My Ford Escape transmission grenaded at 34,000 miles. Got it back and traded it in same day. Bought a Equinox 2.0T and thats been flawless since.
Ford quality in general has been going the shitter and their 2022 recall numbers prove that. As well as the number of recalls on the Escape AND Maverick during their short time being out/remodeled. Escape 10, Maverick 4. Including the so called "Reliable" powertrain. J....U.....N.....K.
The 2.0l has been out for over 10 years. How many years do you require. I agree some have had problems but the motor is known to be generally very reliable especially after the coolant issue was resolved. My only worry is the newness of the 10 speed and yes time will tell
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews Took them 6 years to fix the coolant issue but since it has generally been reliable. But, as stated, New models/remodels, new tweaks, new ways to route wiring and lines, things can go wrong otherwise.
However, I think the maverick has the 8 speed in it not the 10 speed. 8F35 to be specific. Same as the escape. Time will tell transmission wise but Escapes have not been having a good time with those 8 speeds.
Don't believe on the official MPG my hybrid gives 30 MPG highway and 35 City
Thank you for sharing your experience but don't assume the official mpg is wrong only due to your experience. So far everyone else who has commented on their mpg is getting much better mpg in the city. Myself I got 36 to 47mpg in the city depending on how I drove. Marie got 50mpg in the city.
THE ENGINE IS MORE RELIABLE THAN THE TOYOTA TUNDRA TURBO ENGINE WHOSE TURBO GOT LOTS OF PROBLEM!
Update this Video ! That Maverick has proven to be junk from the recall king.
It's had recalls but that isn't nearly as bad as cheating safety tests by swapping in and out parts. Recall equals free fix
I want an AWD hybrid Maverick! When?
Likely mid model refresh or remodel at worse. Therefore 2 to 5 years.
Please use mile not metric stuff
Fair enough. Thanks for the input
finisher
Thank you Larry I appreciate the support encouragement
We don’t drive kilometers. We drive miles lol.
Only a fool would buy a Hybrid.
I'm not sure about that.
