A hybrid pickup with all wheel drive, and an option for towing to 4000 pounds. All, and it's one of the most affordable pickups on the market. Pound for pound, it's the best pickup out there

Thanks for such a clear concise explanation.... That also explained away much of the misinformation about Such as, oh it's just an unreliable CVT ... smh.... Thanks for trying to dispel that myth...

Shame this channel doesn't get more views...

I've always had a strong disgust for Ford, for several reasons. However, I do honestly give credit where credit is due, Ford has done a great job with this vehicle. They reintroduced this vehicle segment and produced a good vehicle at a great price. Now, if they could get rid of the direct injection and not have to start using the particulate filter...

The Maverick is one of the few American cars that showed some imagination. Personally I'm always a wait and see with new models or new refresh models, I hope they sell a ton of them and they are reliable. I'd like to see a refresh of the EcoBoost 2.0 (and all of them really)to combine port and direct injection like they did with the larger motors.

Now all we need is a hybrid plug-in AWD and the Maverick would be absolute fire.

I wonder if adding the AWD eliminated the spare under the rear?

[markjmaxwell]

Extremely nice drivetrain by Ford with the planetary gear set used for the transmission a much better system than a belt driven CVT. They could make a single cab version of the Maverick Hybrid at some stage with the ability to have an AWD driveline optioned.
Whoever is running the styling department at Ford at the moment is certainly doing a good job with the current crop of Ford vehicle's very handsome indeed.
Nice job Ford....

Woll this be able to be flat towed behind a RV
Like the two wheel drive hybrid by

[iscomingback]

Thank you.
When you do these reviews, can you check if the vehicle is flat towable or not?

I am upgrading my fleet to the AWD hybrid Mavericks this year.

[lannylancaster]

Which hybrid all wheel drive are you going to buy?

[patrickstewart]

Why doesn't the electric motor HP & FPT get added to the 2.5 hybrid engine for a higher total HP & FPT?

[sorcererstone]

I guess this hybrid awd mechanics will be used in the next Bronco update in 2025.

[pauloromero]

Which are the drive modes available in the Maverick Hybrid AWD?! Is a FX4 package available for it?!

[charlienevergold]

Is the AC ran off the ICE or is it an electric compressor? I’m in south Texas. The AC cutting off when the ICE isn’t running isn’t an option.

Question: Just came from a dealer and asked how the gas engine is started in the hybrid model, with the HV electric motor or a normal 12 V. starter. I was told by service it was started by a 12 V. regular starter. Anyone know for sure?? I find too many dealers and even service "specialists" don't know enough about hybrids and how they work!!!

[faststang]

Now that they put a gpf on the ecoboost I'd only consider the hybrid

[dcmm]

Glad I watched this, I assumed they put an electric motor in the rear.
