ecoboost is better in everyway....transmission has 8 gears, motor has WAY more power....dont listen to 2 gay guys reviewing a TRUCK....they don't even know how to use one
As we all get our 2023 model year orders in this Summer, remember to never accept paying over MSRP. Pay the sticker price from Ford or refuse delivery. We cannot allow dealers to latch onto a new pricing strategy that pumps free money into their pockets at our expense.
Here we are a year later and I've had my hybrid XLT for a few weeks. It's great in the snow, I'm glad I didn't get the Awd. Drives better than expected and I'm having no complaints. In mixed driving I'm getting about 40 mpg. It's a great little truck.
Depending on the area someone resides in or plans on traveling, the AWD in the Ecoboost can be necessary. When the Hybrid eventually comes in AWD, the draw of the Ecoboost wanes. I'd put money on all the Mavericks becoming some form of Hybrid, down the line. They could make just about any buyer happy with a more powerful PowerBoost version of the hybrid.
@@joeking433 That's perfectly fine if the Hybrid comes in AWD! They still have issues producing Hybrids because of chip shortages so we'll see how their plan will pan out
Idk, the ecoboost engine is going to be much easier/cheaper to repair and maintain in the long run. Still fuel efficient too in the V6. Scotty Kilner has a good video on this engine and this car
Depending on what area?? Not a single city in the US is there not vast majority of people driving 2wd. Maybe < 5% of Americans need awd if you live in middle nowhere and no one plows. think 50 years ago, people got on just fine in shitty 90hp cars anywhere
So other words if you drive your truck like a car the hybrid is perfect for you if all you do is drive in the city with a hundred stop lights between Home Depot and your house. Now if you plan on using your truck as a weekend warrior to haul your play toys somewhere then the EcoBoost is the better option.
This is the first Daily Motor comparison I’ve seen with the whole Bluetooth call format! Nifty idea! Hope more automakers start focusing on compelling offerings at this end of the market. Clearly the sales show there’s a strong desire for stuff this affordable and other automakers would do well to take notice.
My opinion is the hybrid maverick is in short supply for 2 reasons. 1) They cannot get the needed components fast enough, and they may have had some production issues for some of those parts. 2) Ford was gobsmacked by the unexpected demand for the Maverick. They may have been expecting a mild Ranger like response and that people would go for the more expensive versions like they do on the F series trucks. They were not expecting the cheap inexpensive trucks to be such a hit. I personally am liking the Maverick XL a whole lot except for the lack of cruise control on the base model. Grab an XL hybrid with the $100 2000 pound tow package and you’ve got a really useful package.
If Ford didnt figure out that a hybrid truck for 20k would sell well then possibly they need to hire some new folks that possibly took business classes in college ......
Thanks for the comparison. I'm a city guy, and a hybrid XLT with a few options would check all my boxes. I'm in the mid-atlantic, and we get snow predictably, but I frankly don't want or need AWD. Even small/mid CUVs now are defaulting to AWD and you rarely get a choice. FWD with traction control and decent tires has always served me well. I've seen hybrid reviews getting much higher MPGs, so I imagine its just driving style and learning curve. I like the smoothness and quietness of the hybrid for the type of driving I do, and even if the MPG wasn't that different, I wouldn't pay the upcharge for the EcoBoost.
Agree. I would also go with the hybrid because of its lower price, better MPG, and even 2,000 pounds for towing is just as much as I need since I don't find myself towing trailers any heavier than 2,000 pounds in the first place.
One thing most people don't realize about the hybrid is the vastly reduced maintenance compared to a gas vehicle. For example, I have a 2009 Escape hybrid with 155K miles and a 2010 Fusion hybrid with 210K miles. Both cars: -Are on the original brake pads and rotors -Have oil changes no less than 10K miles apart (when instructed by the computer) -Original trans fluid on the Escape, changed at 200K on the Fusion (it was still like new) -Obviously, get fantastic gas mileage -Are occasionally used to tow ~2000lb worth of trailer and hay (short distance from the feed store to our house).
Really? I did not know that. I was considering the eco-boost just because I don’t know much about hybrid vehicles. For my needs, the hybrid suits them better but I don’t know about hybrid.
@@lostintheclouds8719 Generally speaking, if you don't know much about vehicles then a hybrid is your best option. They sound complicated to most people, even many mechanics, but from a mechanical standpoint they're extremely simple. The best (reliability wise) hybrids on the market are Ford, Toyota and Honda.
@@supersnot4 I was talking to ford dealership today, salesperson told me it takes 10 hours to charge up a fully electric vehicle just to go 30 miles. that’s insane! She mentioned that the Maverick is hybrid so there would be nothing to plug in. that is a relief to hear, but she mentioned that they only come in front wheel drive and I need all wheel drive because of where I live. She also mentioned that the battery is basically guaranteed until you hit 80,000 miles and then you would need a battery replacement - being hybrid that sounds like an expensive replacement. I would have to put on an extended warranty on top of the manufacturer’s just to cover that type of thing
@@lostintheclouds8719 Everything she told you is salesman garbage that you can entirely disregard. 1. EV charge time depends entirely on the charging source. A standard 15A wall outlet (for your TV) will charge considerably slower than a 240V 50A outlet with a dedicated EV charger. Charge stations are even faster. Some Teslas are currently capable of gaining 200 miles in 15 minutes with the right charger. Th example she gave you is at the very low end of that spectrum. 2. Maverick hybrid is only available in FWD due to high demand. AWD will probably be available in the future. The Escape hybrid and Prius both have AWD options. 3. All hybrid batteries are warranted to a minimum of 80K miles per EPA, or 150K miles in states that follow CA smog laws. It doesn't matter anyway, because Ford hybrid batteries have a reputation for exceeding 500K miles regularly. Battery failures before 100K miles are nearly unheard of on Ford, Toyota and Honda hybrids.
Great comparison guys! I was ready to order the AWD a couple weeks ago when I got a text from the dealer that a hybrid xlt Area 51 became available. Paid only $2500 dealer mark up over msrp but they threw in the trifold bed cover. So glad I got the hybrid now. So smooth, quiet and excellent acceleration. Loved your comment about the recouping of potential energy brings joy to your heart. Couldn’t agree more! Still haven’t gotten to test the hybrid out here in the Utah mountains or desert gravel roads near Moab but am hopeful it will handle the terrain comfortably.
Paid 2500$ dealer markup and they threw in a trifold bed cover. What a deal 🤣🤣🤣 . Bruh, do you even know how much those bed covers cost from ford and from after market, its fraction of the cost of oem.
@@techten1012 So “Bru” you are clearly out of touch with the market place. Dealer mark ups are $5000-10000 on unsold trucks if you can get one or you can wait a year or more. My sense is you probably can’t afford a new vehicle anyway by the way you talk.
Great comparison! If uploading a "short" in the future, would love to see how the FWD hybrid keeps up w/ AWD ecoboost from a stop as well, now that we've seen rolling start. Also curious how you feel about torque steer when giving it some oomph at lower speeds.
Still waiting on my hybrid xlt to show up. The 2 liter would be a fun truck but I really do want that 40 mpg. Thanks for the comparison video. I feel like my wait will be worth it.
Just so yall know. The Ford Maverick doesn't have a CVT transmission. It's an ECVT transmission and there is a huge difference between the two. The ECVT has Planetary gears and the cvt does not. It's a pet peeve of mine
Actually the front wheel drive 2.0 Turbo makes the most sense for me and my family except for the pretty steep, upfront upcharge. I've never understood why so many people opt for or wish for all-wheel drive vehicles when you have to pay pretty heavily for it on the front end, and then you also look at the epa mpg estimates versus 2WD. It's even worse than the 2WD versus part-time 4WD, because the all-wheel-drives are always powering all wheels and I don't need that going down the road. The option almost always comes at the expense of some pretty substantial fuel guzzling. I live in a rural area. Twelve miles from any town, so originally the hybrid made no sense, but after watching some of these reviews, it seems like there might also be a fuel savings on the highway as well, and it's also cheaper, but only if I could get over the idea of owning a car with a CVT. An XL with the 2.0L Turbo would be my choice except that cruise control is a must.
Don't know if you live in a sunny or warmer climate, but around here in the Winter, AWD and/or 4WD is very much a godsend. When a foot of snow falls and plows haven't been able to clear it, you'll thank the lord you opted for an AWD vehicle. It's much more reliable in moving the vehicle, and combined with good winter tires, there's no issue driving around. Now I'm not saying FWD is useless, if you'd have to choose between RWD and FWD in winter, Front is better due to added weight in the front to keep the traction, but if the choice is between 2WD and AWD/4WD, most people around here would always choose AWD. In fact, 2WD vehicles around here sell so terribly that most dealers don't stock them.
An eCVT is very different from what you typically think of with a CVT in an Altima or a Civic; the "gear ratio" is controlled by the electric motors (and I think planetary gears, could be wrong), not cones and belts.
just picked up a '24 XLT Ecoboost and love it! the torque is snappy, plus the shifting of gears versus the CVT (i've also got a Honda Accord with CVT) is much nicer.
I think y'all missed the boat on the cost of ownership comment. You're right on the MPG, but didn't comment on the oil changes or brakes, both of which dramatically favor the hybrid. TCO is an easy win for the hybrid.
Great video. Love the new ford Maverick inside and out. I personally prefer the 2.5 hybrid due to better fuel economy, better MPG, and the only things I picture myself towing is a small pop up camper and a 15' wooden skiff, both of them are very small and lightweight, and the Maverick could handle them just fine with a max towing rate of 2,000 pounds.
Plus even though technically the 2.0 can tow 4k pounds, it doesnt seem like a good idea in such a small truck. I think the hybrid makes the most sense for the majority of people.
Great video. Liked the rolling race! POV from each vehicle was so cool. So glad I ordered mine with no rear window. Clear view and so much easier to clean.
Missed the ordering for this year but I think I’d have to do the eco boost over the hybrid but I do a lot of highway driving too and would prefer the 4K tow too
Good review! I think unless you need to haul things, the hybrid and FWD option is superior to the 2.0 Eco boost. I was also surprised that the roll race was so close.
Keep in mind, even though gas mileage may be similar between 2.0 and hybrid engines (though I think results are skewed by using eco mode on the highway which isn’t what it’s designed for) the hybrid takes 87 regular gasoline whereas the 2.0 eco boost requires 91 octane premium as a minimum and 95 octane as recommended.
I struggled with this, finally added the tow package due to figuring good for resale and was a cheap add. Wish i could have kept stock gearing as i just wanted the extra coolers as just insurance against fords cheap build maybe leading to heat issues in since with just a full bed.
Thanks for the comparison. It was perfect. I am far more comfortable with the Lariat hybrid I ordered for my better half. My excitement level has kicked up a notch! We live in Michigan, still a bit worried about her driving a FWD in the winter. She's been driving AWD and 4WD cars for the last 20 years. Again, great video! Keep up the good work.
I got my 2023 xl hybrid over 2000 miles in it use it as a work truck gardening in southern California average of 120 to 150 miles/day lots of hills plus long highway comute average 40 MPG....
I got offered $11k trade in for my car. I could afford to buy the base model cash if I want. Debating if I should splurge for the lariat. I would probably miss the adaptive cruse control, keyless entry and push-button start if I just went with the base. The lariat interior is also nice. Assuming my car holds its value long enough to actually get one, that is.
same boat, im debating whether its worth waiting for the 2023 model to see if they add an AWD Hybrid option or not. if not im planning on getting the lariat trim
So all I want to see is tricks and tips on how to maximize the hybrid mpg like if you absolutely baby the hell out of it off the line will it stay in electric? If so to what speed would it kick out and the gas kick in? If you relax on highway and let it drop in speed on up hills and let it build speed on down hills. How much better mpg could you get? Seems how like no one bought the hybrid I would love to see some mpg tests like how good it could get. Oh and like you guys said use the regenerative breaks like 100% if possible. I could care less about who would win in a race........ honestly couldn't care less!!
I want a hybrid. I live deep in the country. I have always driven FWD and don’t have a problem with it. I hate the fact I have to get an automatic, as I have been driving a stick shift since 1980. Not sure I can drive without looking for a clutch.
I am going to suggest you guys use the same MIC setup between the two of you, because there's a huge difference in how your MIC's pick up background noise.
Interesting review in duo team.. wish you could have done a small offroad sequence to see how the hybrid would perform in the mud or the snow.. i have ordered the 22 hybrid xlt with sunroof and copilot and expecting delivery in march. Also keep in mind that even if you live outside the city and do highways , it will still run on hybrid battery when accessing ramps, at the red lights and stops.. at the toll booths etc… and gas price will always keep going up. How much is it going to cost in two three years or five years.. the hybrid will have a better resale value. In your review you floored alot, but in real life most people older than 17 don't floor. So we should hit 33-36 mpg with the hybrid.
its always weird when I watch these car reviews and its in an area where I live... I spend most of my time looking at the area saying to myself "I know where that is, I drive by there almost every day".
You state that the front wheel drive Ecoboost setup doesn't make sense however since it's 100 lb lighter than the hybrid and 200 lbs lighter than the FX4, it will be the quickest setup while getting better gas mileage than the FX4. So for people in southern climes and even areas with modest snowfall amounts, the FWD Ecoboost might be the best choice especially if you don't plan on towing and/or you do more highway driving.
You get a HEATED leather steering wheel if you buy the XLT luxury package! Plus everything else power and heated for $26k. That's pretty freaking good! It's funny that the Hybrid is so much more in demand than the EcoBoost. The Hybrid is going $5000 to $10k over sticker on the lot while you can get an EcoBoost for under sticker on the lot.
I would live to see a comparison or know the MPG difference at different constant highway speeds especially 80 mph since most reviews do not cover this speed. I do alot of highway driving and my last two trucks suck the gas at 80 compared to 70 -75
The front wheel drive Ecoboost Maverick has a higher top gear ratio, it is the lightest and has the highest payload capacity of all the Maverick line. It is the quickest of all the Mavericks and gets the same (or better) highway mpg as the hybrid. It avoids the complexity of the hybrid drivetrain and the busyness of the never satisfied CVT transmission. That 4000 lb trailer capacity comes at a price.
@@TYLERMORRIStech The Ecoboost engine is mated with a regular 8-speed automatic transmission. The Hybrid relies on a continuously variable transmission.
Wow - lots of good info here. Now if I could just FIND ONE TO BUY!!! Dammit.....all the dealer websites have them "in stock" even though they are already sold / were ordered. I asked about this and they say that once shipped to delivering dealer they go to inventory. SMH.....plus the "market adjustment" ($7500 in one case) is crazy.
When you look up how long hybrid batteries last, and their replacement cost, you realize the money you save on gas will be offset by battery replacement. So in that case, seems like the ecoboost is the way to go with it’s much higher power and AWD.
This doesn't make any sense. A new lithium battery like the one used in the Maverick should still be well above 80% capacity after a decade of use. Maybe this was true in some of the early models of Prius with Toyota's old battery chemistry, but it's not true at all with modern batteries.
@@NicholasTripp I must admit I just had done a quick search of 'how long do hybrid batteries last' and the answer that came back was 80k to 100k miles. I was also hoping someone would tell me I was off because I really want the hybrid to make good sense as a purchase.
This is the video I’ve been waiting for! I just picked up a XLT FX4 w/ 4k tow package. I also have a Hybrid on order but currently no build date or VIN.
2.0 Ecoboost is the same as the Focus St with a better automatic. I live up north and would want awd but the fwd is a lot of vehicle for cheap and quick with the ecoboost.
'Seems like Ford really doesn't want to sell too many hybrid Mavericks (making very little profit on those base models). Over the last few months, they've made it pretty clear that if you don't want to keep waiting for your ordered hybrid (a year or more), you should spend the additional money on an Ecoboost model.
I would love to know how you guys feel about the difference when you have a trailer. Would be great if you could try out a 1500-2000 trailer and tell us how well each car behaved. Could each car handle it well and how did it feel with that weight behind it.
Great videos on the Mav that you've put up...truly appreciate the real world driving and mpg results. Your content has been much better than the usual top spec only videos concentrating on power outlets in the bed. Now if only you could review the 2.5l SEL non-turbo mid level Santa Cruz ? Since it has 3500lbs of towing and comes standard with a lot of tech I'd be interested to hear what you think after driving one and comparing it to the Mav trims.
Caution with the Santa...the bed only holds 660lbs. It also costs about $4k more per trim level compared to the Mav, and of course, it has nowhere near 40mpg. The plastic grille on the Santa is cool looking, tho.
Thanks for your video. I live and drive mostly in the city so the hybrid would be perfect and I would save a ton on fuel compared to my current car Subaru Forester 2021 which “drinks” a lot.
the XL is truly the way to go....no options....do all the upgrades aftermarket and you will have a lariat for 10k less than the factory offers....the only option that is a bargain is the 100 dollar hitch....all other options can be done cheaper by yourself or aftermarket.
Serious question; why would you showcase a HYBRID vehicle’s MPG and never mention why electric/hybrid vehicles are best around town or cities NOT highways? Hybrids MPG in city is great because stop-and-go traffic recharges the battery through “regenerative braking”. Fuel economy is THE key feature for going hybrid and you never mentioned it.
That's one of the first things they mention, within the first 2 minutes. They talk about the MPG they have seen and how the hybrid does not provide much better MPG highway, so it's not worth paying for the Ecoboost if you are mostly a highway driver.
@@eternallogic6394 2011? CRV’s didn’t go hybrid until 2020. Anyway, it’s easy to get terrible MPG numbers with a hybrid. Zipping around town in “Sport” mode, gunning the pedal at every green light and never utilizing regenerative braking ability will get crappy or ICE vehicle MPG.
The rotary shifter on both the Mav and Mach E both spin continuously for some weird reason. The Fusion basically introduced it, the explorer and Expedition + GT500 have a similar shifter but those stop after Drive.
We are averaging about 43mpg overall for 2 tanks in our Lariat First Edition Hybrid Maverick, we love this truck but we got it loaded, we couldn't buy the base, it was just too lacking.

Twelve miles from any town, so originally the hybrid made no sense, but after watching some of these reviews, it seems like there might also be a fuel savings on the highway as well, and it's also cheaper, but only if I could get over the idea of owning a car with a CVT. An XL with the 2.0L Turbo would be my choice except that cruise control is a must.
Don't know if you live in a sunny or warmer climate, but around here in the Winter, AWD and/or 4WD is very much a godsend. When a foot of snow falls and plows haven't been able to clear it, you'll thank the lord you opted for an AWD vehicle. It's much more reliable in moving the vehicle, and combined with good winter tires, there's no issue driving around. Now I'm not saying FWD is useless, if you'd have to choose between RWD and FWD in winter, Front is better due to added weight in the front to keep the traction, but if the choice is between 2WD and AWD/4WD, most people around here would always choose AWD.
In fact, 2WD vehicles around here sell so terribly that most dealers don't stock them.
An eCVT is very different from what you typically think of with a CVT in an Altima or a Civic; the "gear ratio" is controlled by the electric motors (and I think planetary gears, could be wrong), not cones and belts.
Yeah, I've lived in the rural midwest for most of my life and only ever had 2wd. It's all about tires!
This was a rly good idea comparing the 2.
just picked up a '24 XLT Ecoboost and love it! the torque is snappy, plus the shifting of gears versus the CVT (i've also got a Honda Accord with CVT) is much nicer.
I think y'all missed the boat on the cost of ownership comment. You're right on the MPG, but didn't comment on the oil changes or brakes, both of which dramatically favor the hybrid. TCO is an easy win for the hybrid.
Great video. Love the new ford Maverick inside and out. I personally prefer the 2.5 hybrid due to better fuel economy, better MPG, and the only things I picture myself towing is a small pop up camper and a 15' wooden skiff, both of them are very small and lightweight, and the Maverick could handle them just fine with a max towing rate of 2,000 pounds.
Plus even though technically the 2.0 can tow 4k pounds, it doesnt seem like a good idea in such a small truck. I think the hybrid makes the most sense for the majority of people.
Great video. Liked the rolling race! POV from each vehicle was so cool. So glad I ordered mine with no rear window. Clear view and so much easier to clean.
happy to find people located in the same general area as me! now i gotta watch your other videos lol
I'm looking to get the hybrid for door dashing/family trips. The better gas mileage (especially with current gas prices) is much needed haha
lol fr gas prices are insane
Missed the ordering for this year but I think I’d have to do the eco boost over the hybrid but I do a lot of highway driving too and would prefer the 4K tow too
Good review! I think unless you need to haul things, the hybrid and FWD option is superior to the 2.0 Eco boost. I was also surprised that the roll race was so close.
Different gearing with the tow package also throws it off if you wanted purely engine vs engine. Certainly think the choice greatly comes down to use.
@@Bursar60 yes the more gears the faster or more powerful it gets I have a 6 geared automatic and it fly's
Keep in mind, even though gas mileage may be similar between 2.0 and hybrid engines (though I think results are skewed by using eco mode on the highway which isn’t what it’s designed for) the hybrid takes 87 regular gasoline whereas the 2.0 eco boost requires 91 octane premium as a minimum and 95 octane as recommended.
oooooo wow that is a very helpful point thank you
that premium adds up
The 2 litre turbo AWD without the FX4 or tow package is also a good option.
I struggled with this, finally added the tow package due to figuring good for resale and was a cheap add. Wish i could have kept stock gearing as i just wanted the extra coolers as just insurance against fords cheap build maybe leading to heat issues in since with just a full bed.
Thanks for the comparison. It was perfect. I am far more comfortable with the Lariat hybrid I ordered for my better half. My excitement level has kicked up a notch! We live in Michigan, still a bit worried about her driving a FWD in the winter. She's been driving AWD and 4WD cars for the last 20 years. Again, great video! Keep up the good work.
I got my 2023 xl hybrid over 2000 miles in it use it as a work truck gardening in southern California average of 120 to 150 miles/day lots of hills plus long highway comute average 40 MPG....
You people are so lucky!We still dint have the maverick in Europa!The base modell for 21k is a steal!
I got offered $11k trade in for my car. I could afford to buy the base model cash if I want. Debating if I should splurge for the lariat. I would probably miss the adaptive cruse control, keyless entry and push-button start if I just went with the base. The lariat interior is also nice.
Assuming my car holds its value long enough to actually get one, that is.
same boat, im debating whether its worth waiting for the 2023 model to see if they add an AWD Hybrid option or not. if not im planning on getting the lariat trim
So all I want to see is tricks and tips on how to maximize the hybrid mpg like if you absolutely baby the hell out of it off the line will it stay in electric? If so to what speed would it kick out and the gas kick in? If you relax on highway and let it drop in speed on up hills and let it build speed on down hills. How much better mpg could you get? Seems how like no one bought the hybrid I would love to see some mpg tests like how good it could get. Oh and like you guys said use the regenerative breaks like 100% if possible. I could care less about who would win in a race........ honestly couldn't care less!!
I want a hybrid. I live deep in the country. I have always driven FWD and don’t have a problem with it. I hate the fact I have to get an automatic, as I have been driving a stick shift since 1980. Not sure I can drive without looking for a clutch.
Dealers are turning people off of this truck. I’ve seen over 10k mark up for this car.
I am going to suggest you guys use the same MIC setup between the two of you, because there's a huge difference in how your MIC's pick up background noise.
If I didn't need towing, I'd probably trade my Ranger for a hybrid Maverick.
ordered a lariat awd with luxury, tow, and360 packages. cant wait
Great duo, loved the video!
Interesting review in duo team.. wish you could have done a small offroad sequence to see how the hybrid would perform in the mud or the snow.. i have ordered the 22 hybrid xlt with sunroof and copilot and expecting delivery in march. Also keep in mind that even if you live outside the city and do highways , it will still run on hybrid battery when accessing ramps, at the red lights and stops.. at the toll booths etc… and gas price will always keep going up. How much is it going to cost in two three years or five years.. the hybrid will have a better resale value. In your review you floored alot, but in real life most people older than 17 don't floor. So we should hit 33-36 mpg with the hybrid.
We take them both down a small off-road portion in the next video. Should be out this week.
I would get the 2.0 FWD if available because the Hybrid was nearly impossible to get.
I'm still waiting for these to be available to order.
its always weird when I watch these car reviews and its in an area where I live... I spend most of my time looking at the area saying to myself "I know where that is, I drive by there almost every day".
Please make a MPG comparison on these Maverick next time. Like a one full tank of gasoline.
You state that the front wheel drive Ecoboost setup doesn't make sense however since it's 100 lb lighter than the hybrid and 200 lbs lighter than the FX4, it will be the quickest setup while getting better gas mileage than the FX4. So for people in southern climes and even areas with modest snowfall amounts, the FWD Ecoboost might be the best choice especially if you don't plan on towing and/or you do more highway driving.
not the quickest. the AWD FX4 pack gets you a lower gear ratio and is the fastest 0-60 times, TFL did this
Thanks guys!
You get a HEATED leather steering wheel if you buy the XLT luxury package! Plus everything else power and heated for $26k. That's pretty freaking good! It's funny that the Hybrid is so much more in demand than the EcoBoost. The Hybrid is going $5000 to $10k over sticker on the lot while you can get an EcoBoost for under sticker on the lot.
I would live to see a comparison or know the MPG difference at different constant highway speeds especially 80 mph since most reviews do not cover this speed. I do alot of highway driving and my last two trucks suck the gas at 80 compared to 70 -75
I wish more did this also. A good example is a civic gets 45 mpg at 65 but like 30 at 85 mph. A manual corvette gets like 35 mpg at 85.
Exactly what I'm looking for in my new car. Did u get a answer?
Thanks for posting cool video biggest problem hard to get any of them
What's the top speed you got off camera
The front wheel drive Ecoboost Maverick has a higher top gear ratio, it is the lightest and has the highest payload capacity of all the Maverick line. It is the quickest of all the Mavericks and gets the same (or better) highway mpg as the hybrid. It avoids the complexity of the hybrid drivetrain and the busyness of the never satisfied CVT transmission. That 4000 lb trailer capacity comes at a price.
So you’re saying the fwd econoost doesn’t have the ecvt?
@@TYLERMORRIStech The Ecoboost engine is mated with a regular 8-speed automatic transmission. The Hybrid relies on a continuously variable transmission.
Wow - lots of good info here. Now if I could just FIND ONE TO BUY!!! Dammit.....all the dealer websites have them "in stock" even though they are already sold / were ordered. I asked about this and they say that once shipped to delivering dealer they go to inventory. SMH.....plus the "market adjustment" ($7500 in one case) is crazy.
Great comparison video!
Thanks for a video, why dealers are charging $5000 more after msrp tax, lic, documents?
Unless your in the snow belt (I’m sorry for you), why would you not order the hybrid. Almost double the mpg of the gas only model.
I agree with you guys and ordered a hybrid November 13 but won’t receive till July.
Rough! I hope you enjoy it when you get it!
When you look up how long hybrid batteries last, and their replacement cost, you realize the money you save on gas will be offset by battery replacement. So in that case, seems like the ecoboost is the way to go with it’s much higher power and AWD.
This doesn't make any sense. A new lithium battery like the one used in the Maverick should still be well above 80% capacity after a decade of use. Maybe this was true in some of the early models of Prius with Toyota's old battery chemistry, but it's not true at all with modern batteries.
@@NicholasTripp I must admit I just had done a quick search of 'how long do hybrid batteries last' and the answer that came back was 80k to 100k miles. I was also hoping someone would tell me I was off because I really want the hybrid to make good sense as a purchase.
Turbos tend to die and are costly to replace.
This is the video I’ve been waiting for! I just picked up a XLT FX4 w/ 4k tow package. I also have a Hybrid on order but currently no build date or VIN.
2.0 Ecoboost is the same as the Focus St with a better automatic. I live up north and would want awd but the fwd is a lot of vehicle for cheap and quick with the ecoboost.
The biggest thing is what this will do to the
Competition , and driving down prices
heh. i put in two orders for the hybrid. one for the XL one for the XLT.
Just waiting for the build date.
'Seems like Ford really doesn't want to sell too many hybrid Mavericks (making very little profit on those base models). Over the last few months, they've made it pretty clear that if you don't want to keep waiting for your ordered hybrid (a year or more), you should spend the additional money on an Ecoboost model.
So ford needs to add AWD to all models, and a plug in hybrid would also be a fantastic option.
soo hoping for phev🤞🤞🤞
Excellent comparison.
Excellent review 👏🏾 👌 👍🏾 🙌
Thanks. I was actually not even looking at comparisons much cause it was just flat making it harder to chose lol. But this was cool.
I'd take the hybrid.
ordering 2 in an hour
@@michaelshirey6157 2 for 1 special?
I would love to know how you guys feel about the difference when you have a trailer. Would be great if you could try out a 1500-2000 trailer and tell us how well each car behaved. Could each car handle it well and how did it feel with that weight behind it.
We really wanted to do that, but the hybrid didn't have a hitch receiver :/ we'll try to get our hands on one.
@@DailyMotor can you order the hybrid with a hitch?
Or is the wiring there for a after market hitch?
@@nathanrobertson3349 Yes you can get it with a hitch and wiring.
Ok so XLT hybrid with FWD and a good set of winter tires..what about the XL model
I’m hoping to get an XLT Hybrid…. Just watching videos of Mavericks in the meantime. 😂
Great videos on the Mav that you've put up...truly appreciate the real world driving and mpg results. Your content has been much better than the usual top spec only videos concentrating on power outlets in the bed. Now if only you could review the 2.5l SEL non-turbo mid level Santa Cruz ? Since it has 3500lbs of towing and comes standard with a lot of tech I'd be interested to hear what you think after driving one and comparing it to the Mav trims.
Caution with the Santa...the bed only holds 660lbs. It also costs about $4k more per trim level compared to the Mav, and of course, it has nowhere near 40mpg. The plastic grille on the Santa is cool looking, tho.
A great steering wheel cover cost less than 10 bucks at Ollies....feels better than 5k lariat option for sure
Thanks for your video. I live and drive mostly in the city so the hybrid would be perfect and I would save a ton on fuel compared to my current car Subaru Forester 2021 which “drinks” a lot.
Yup. I had a 2009 forester and was really disappointed in furl economy.
Such a meaningful review
Giving up on this video after the 6th Otto insurance ad
the XL is truly the way to go....no options....do all the upgrades aftermarket and you will have a lariat for 10k less than the factory offers....the only option that is a bargain is the 100 dollar hitch....all other options can be done cheaper by yourself or aftermarket.
Serious question; why would you showcase a HYBRID vehicle’s MPG and never mention why electric/hybrid vehicles are best around town or cities NOT highways? Hybrids MPG in city is great because stop-and-go traffic recharges the battery through “regenerative braking”. Fuel economy is THE key feature for going hybrid and you never mentioned it.
That's one of the first things they mention, within the first 2 minutes. They talk about the MPG they have seen and how the hybrid does not provide much better MPG highway, so it's not worth paying for the Ecoboost if you are mostly a highway driver.
I have a 2011 Honda crz hybrid and it's terrible in the city but great on the highway
@@eternallogic6394 2011? CRV’s didn’t go hybrid until 2020. Anyway, it’s easy to get terrible MPG numbers with a hybrid. Zipping around town in “Sport” mode, gunning the pedal at every green light and never utilizing regenerative braking ability will get crappy or ICE vehicle MPG.
@@sharonb.9128 I'm not talking about a CR-V. I'm talking about the little Honda CRZ 2 seater coupe. Look it up.
The rotary shifter on both the Mav and Mach E both spin continuously for some weird reason. The Fusion basically introduced it, the explorer and Expedition + GT500 have a similar shifter but those stop after Drive.
What happens if you open the car door with the car in drive? Does it go back into park automatically if the truck is stopped?
Great video, thank you!
I don’t get why they didn’t do a hybrid awd I’m guessing it’s because of price point. I’m looking forward to a plug in hybrid or a ev drivetrain
We are averaging about 43mpg overall for 2 tanks in our Lariat First Edition Hybrid Maverick, we love this truck but we got it loaded, we couldn't buy the base, it was just too lacking.
Why is only the Hybrid in the second half of the video? Oh, it’s the only truck with any gasoline left! :)
I have a basic fwd 2.0 turbo 2018 Lincoln MKC...great engine.
Why get the 2.0 liter fwd only? Because it's the fastest accelerating plus more torque for towing.
Will i get picked on if i buy this truck?
No, people universally seem to like it.
If the 2.5 can fit under the hood, then so can the twin scroll 2.3. I can see a Raptor or GT trim model in the future!
My jet ski is 20,000. Great little truck
Do you want a Truck Truck?…or a Little City Vehicle? 😂 great review guys!
many females and elderly will appreciate the small truck for our farms and hauling garbage/mid sized items.
@@shirliestratton7790 yup I agree
I get a lot of snow in the winter where I live so AWD is necessary 100%.
I'm disappointed with my Maverick EcoBoost. I hate the shifting from the 8speed.. I'm trading in very soon
You mentioned a few times the XL had a CVT. I don't think it does, pretty sure it's a clutched planetary gearset similar to Volt.
You're right
how much for a battery when it goes out?
Maybe they could put a small ev motor in the back of the hybrid and make it part time 4 wheel drive and when you're not using it it could re gen
And I can’t find a 2021/ 2022 XL Hybrid front wheel drive on east coast.
The landscape looks like southern Michigan in Jan.
Here is a wonderful hybrid truck but you can't get one. Oh that's nice. LOL
