Understanding Why To Buy a '25 EcoBoost Maverick.

[jro25]

There shouldn’t be anyone with them yet… in the US anyway.

Here’s a reference picture for the basic principal of how I understand it’ll be implemented. And a video of a similar design

Someone said june/july is when they will add them. Think this is true? And does it still have 250 HP without on the 2025?

Yes the supplier is still working on delivery dates but that’s accurate. As far as I know numbers aren’t supposed to be changing but don’t quote me as I’m not a numbers person

As long as its not by March 3rd! Thats when they build mine.

Before reading all this: go check out my build: https://shop.ford.com/configure/maverick/config/summary/Config[|Ford|Maverick|2025|1|1.|...PG1...96J.17S.54L.XLT.99A.77C.]

I do not have my truck yet, but based on reviews, test drives, and tons of research, these are the conclusions as to why I bought a 2025 2.0L Ecoboost FX4 XLT Maverick. Would love to hear any feedback on my logic, and find out more about what y'all think as well!

First thing I want to talk about is the engine:
I went with the gas engine simply for the power, and the fact that I don't do that much city driving. Hybrid may be better overall in terms of gas mileage, but I though the engine as a whole felt weak, and lacked the pop of the usual gas engine. Additionally, getting AWD+hybrid leads to an additional sum of around 1200$, which would take thousands of miles to recoup the loss of via the saved fuel economy, so not really worth it.

I have seen all over people complaining about the GPF (gas particulate filter), and how it "neutered" the truck (same guy who made that review said it could only tow 1500lbs, so clearly not a valid opinion). There is a 12 horsepower, and 2 lb ft of torque, difference, but I don't think it is super noticeable. The only real use of that much power is in extreme situations, which most of us Maverick owners will almost never reach. On the flip side, the GPF is great for the environment, and will soon be a standard in all cars, so I actually applaud them for putting it in this early.

Next I will talk about the exterior and packages:
Simply put, this truck looks so much better than the last generation. Much more aggressive styling, it simply looks like a little beast which I love. I do wish it had more color options to match the blue interior, or brought back some colors from the '22 options, but I went with a classic black to match the rims from my FX4 package. Green and gray also look really good in person, I felt the premium colors were not worth it since they don't even match the interior.

Package wise, I got the FX4 and a drop in bed liner. The bed liner is self explanatory, better than a spray in since it can't chip, easier to replace, and cheaper. Must have for any truck in use. I have seen most people get the 4K tow package, and I went for only the FX4 which most aren't doing. The tow package is great because it gives you that 4000lbs of towing, and all the controls. That being said, it also forces you to get the premium copilot, and almost costs 2000$. For me, the FX4 package was perfect because it tunes the truck for the roadways of reality (bad potholes!), through better shocks and even plates on the bottom. Additionally, the drive modes seem to be really useful to unlock as much as you can from the AWD, the black rims look sick with the black paint, you get a whole spare tires, and some engine cooling upgrades. Really, really good deal for only 800$, helped me keep costs low.

Simply put, I got XLT to keep my truck from being cold on the inside, enough said.

Obviously, next thing is the interior:
Really weird choice to go with all the blue, but I like it. I can get behind why some wouldn't, but its better than that hideous orange of past generations. Additionally, I don't like the move to full digital RPM and MPH gauges, but that is the future as they say. The steering wheel getting a nice set of new buttons is really helpful, and I like the heated features the XLT allows for (specifically heated steering wheel!).

For the 2025, the main reason I made the jump is the center screen. Everyone is talking about how awful it is that the AC buttons are in it, yet they have been that way on the ford escape and work fine there. I had no problem with them when I tried it, and like the way they are setup alot. This saves a ton of space for other buttons in the area, and looks super clean. FYI, this is the FUTURE of implementation of these things in vehicles! This will be on all cars in 10 years, we are getting all this stuff in a little cheap pickup! How amazing! Seats are very comfortable, speakers were clear (in my limited time trying them), and overall I think they did a great job. Still don't like the dial shifter, but WIRELESS car play makes up for it. Seriously, I can not understand why people don't like this screen. It is superb. Other than that, most features between this and the '24 are the same.

Lastly, another controversial topic, cost:

Inflation exists, and things get more expensive. The Maverick is no longer in a "trial" stage, it is a truck that has proven its worth, its value, and its place in the market. You will not even find the Mavericks that MSRP'd for 19k at that same price anymore, because of the demand for them! This truck is extremely fun, interesting, and holds value! As such, it only makes sense for the new model to go up in cost. 35k for a kitted out truck like the one I picked is more than fair in my mind, and keep in mind the BASE version costs less than a Honda Civic, STILL! To me, some of the packages, like the 4k tow are a waste, due to their high cost, but in the end still less than a ranger for what I think is a much better truck overall. The new screen, new exterior, and additional fine tunings are also reasons why this truck costs more, in my mind. That tiny little screen in the old Maverick will much sooner become obsolete, and in the end this refresh is exactly why it costs more, and I don't think that's a problem!

Originally, I wanted to get a '24, but they all have the back-up camera recall! Once that is fixed, they will likely still cost almost the same as the new '25, because the demand is still there! Even pre-owned, I struggled to find a car under 25k that was certified. My point being, it isn't worth grumbling about something that is the reality of inflation, demand, and features. Rather, simply to get the most for your money like I tried to.



My truck is getting built in early March, and I should have it by April to give a full review then.

but seriously, what is this thread about? I hope you enjoy your truck. the ecoboost is pretty sweet.

I currently own a @2 FX$ Xlt. Love it it's a great truck and super peppy

Actually, if you are referring to the fact sheet produced by Ford in 7/2004, there are some specs that have changed regarding the EB engine. The fuel injection listed is not correct...it is both direct and port injection. Also the HP and Torque specs are incorrect...should be 250 hp and 274 lbs. This latest specs are from the engineers from Ford (one of them is on this forum).

Exactly!

My experience is a little different as I have an Escape however it’s been smooth and fun to drive. It isn’t much different driving than the prior ones but it does seem to be better at the same time. I am averaging 34 MPG with mine. It’s very responsive to higher octane and I’m eagerly awaiting to see how tuning goes with the new fuel system.

Cool- I am really digging the S/B intake that I installed last year- Highly recommend- Probably will be awhile before they have an option available for the 25's -

S&B has been delayed in getting to it despite my attempts to let them document development using my vehicle. They’re going to have one available in about two to three months

I traded in a 2024 Eco-Boost FX4 for a 2025 AWD Hybrid and have to say it's a better experience all the way around for me.

The Eco-boost transmission seems to hunt and have hard shifts when climbing or descending. I hated the transmission and getting the CVT in the Hybrid makes the ride smooth as butter.

I also liked the power, but it was hidden behind a turbo-spool delay. So you'd have nothing off the line and then an unnatural surge after getting going. The torque in the Hybrid just feels better and makes the off-the-line and acceleration feel more responsive.

Don't have to deal with hitting a button or flashing codes to turn off that engine start-stop crap. Yes it happens in the Hybrid, but you don't notice it as the motor turns the wheels regardless of what the engine is doing.

Not to even mention I'm getting 33mpg (almost all highway).

The only truck I'd give my Hybrid Maverick up for is a Plug-in-Hybrid (PHEV) Maverick.

I think your truck had something wrong with it. I have never had or heard of these complaints myself, only that a CVT is obviously smoother than a standard trans.

Its not the turbo spool with the delay in power application from a dead stop- Its the programming that is limiting boost and yes its not awesome at times.

Thats most gas engine cars though, nothing unexpected

First thing I want to talk about is the engine:
I went with the gas engine simply for the power, and the fact that I don't do that much city driving. Hybrid may be better overall in terms of gas mileage, but I though the engine as a whole felt weak, and lacked the pop of the usual gas engine. Additionally, getting AWD+hybrid leads to an additional sum of around 1200$, which would take thousands of miles to recoup the loss of via the saved fuel economy, so not really worth it.

uh, yeah. I had a fusion hybrid rental several years ago and to be honest I'm not sure if it was the 2.5 or an older, weaker version but I was not thrilled. I've briefly driven a hybrid maverick and for my usage, the increased fuel economy is simply not worth the performance loss.

I usually buy the most powerful engine available in a vehicle and my Maverick is my 5th turbocharged 4 cylinder. I've had a Cobb Accessport on 2 of those and tuning an ecoboost Maverick is the best thing you can do mainly because of the transmission tune, and optimizing the engine for 93 octane is almost a side benefit... except... there's no tune available for a '25 yet. Interceptors (racechip and jb4) don't even support it yet last I checked. But that stuff will come, and the '25 will be awesome.

Transmission isnt helping - The one reason I might get a tune unit at some point.

Correct, but still decent.

 

[Chase300]

What? You do know that the turbo is spooled by exhaust right? So unless you are going to brake torque at a stop, you're not going get positive boost off idle and thus turbo lag. What Ford would need to add is a launch control feature with anti-lag.
