0 to 60 times for Maverick Tremor 2.0 Ecoboost

[jpj]

I have a 2025 Maverick Tremor 2.0 Ecoboost.
The truck seems to be quite fast. When researching, 0 to 60 times have been reported slightly below 6 seconds to around 6.
I found this on the internet:
"The 1966 Pontiac GTO's 0-60 mph time varied by configuration, but with the popular Tri-Power engine and four-speed manual, times were around 5.8 to 6.5 seconds, with some testers achieving under 6 seconds, making it a very fast muscle car for its era. A base GTO with an automatic transmission was slower, around 7 seconds"
Car and Driver reported 5.8 seconds for the 2025 Lobo 2.0 which I would assume similar performance for the Tremor.
I replaced the all terrain tires with all season touring which may have helped with performance.
Any thoughts?

I would say Your 0-60 times should be close to the LOBO since You changed to all season tires!! In the new Motor Trend Car,Truck and SUV of the Year where the Maverick was named 2026 Truck of the Year the LOBO they tested ran 0-60 in 6.1 seconds.

Muscle cars were fast for the day, but not for today, plus most of them were fast because they had super-short rear ends, so they rode on the interstate at like 3500-4000 rpm.

It's peppy but most new cars are. My buddy's Rav4 hybrid is even faster, around 5.6 seconds which 15-20 years ago would have been unthinkable for a regular suv.

Any thoughts about what? You provided stats, but not for your own vehicle. Find a drag strip with a test and tune night to see what your truck will do.

I can't afford a truck fast enough to accelerate quicker than even my slowest motorcycle. My quickest bike was well under 3 seconds 0-60.

As a kid, our family car was a '67 Camaro SS. Very quick and fast for the day but I'm pretty sure my AWD hybrid would smoke it off the line and maybe even 1/4 mile. It was gearing-limited to 120mph, not much faster than the claimed top speed of the Maverick that I've seen somewhere (not going to test it - those days are long gone for me, and after fast bikes would be disappointing lol)

I've never really considered the 0-60 time, as a number, to be important to me at all. I'm either happy with the vehicle's acceleration or I'm not. Since I didn't even test-drive my truck when I bought it I just accepted it for what it is: in my case a surprisingly economical (at least for fuel if not price) and useful small truck for my commuting and small rural property needs.

In any event - have fun burning off your tires. Might not be practical in any way but sure can be fun. LOL

People that have no experience with 60’s era muscle cars think they were faster than what they actually were. Modern 4 cylinder engines are just as fast and even more so than an older v8.

Same here. My concern is how fast I can accelerate when pulling into traffic. It really annoys me when someone pulls out in front of me and then just creep up to speed. I don't want to be that person.

Yeah, I like to tell people I was going to get a Ferrari 308 GTS but needed something faster so I got the Maverick.

0-60 MPH=> 5.9 sec. -twice - . TOP SPEED 185 km/h _ 115 MPH (ECU controlled )

Your'e right newer cars are much faster. BUT The old cars could be easily modified like a set of headers and new intake and larger carb. Swap the cam shaft and look out. You could ad another 200 horse easy . My old 1975 455 Pontiac Trans am only had 200 HP Pitiful. 7.6 compression ratio, super low. . After I was done it was well over 400 hp. Not counting the 250 HP Nitrous. stage 3 kit . Bringing it into the 650 range.

Cant really add that much more to a modern car. But remember the Cuda with the 426 hemi rated at 425 hp really had 490 in 1970 and 1971. The GTO was never one of the faster cars. Pontiac engines were never really good even though I got mine up in decent range but I changed out pistons and heads too.

Just wait until you hear about modern day computer tuning without having to swap out any parts or open up your engine.

I m sure that stuff can ad SOME power but I highly doubt much Unless it can really increase turbo boost BUT then you need higher octane gas which you really can't get easily . Maybe then . The main reason it was easy back in the day as the engines weren't optimized for power they are today. The amount of hp these tiny engines put out today is amazing compared to the old muscle car days . HP per cube is way way higher today.

0 to 60 in sometime this week! But averaging 36 mpg getting there

I’ve never floored my Ecoboost.
I just can’t do that, can’t even red line it.

The Eight speed gear box is perfectly geared
But I do like pulling away from so called quick little cars and big engine Cowboy Cadillacs.
:XD
