New Motortrend Review: 2022 Maverick Pros and Cons Review: A Small Truck With a Big Impact [w/ Acceleration Numbers]

[JASmith]

I mean the fact that the Hybrid is keeping up as well as it did (talking fractions of a second at every data point) thats pretty dang good. To be fair though, I have seen much better times from the 2.0 on reviewers 0-60 times.

Like dynos, the numbers aren't as important as the comparison being apples to apples on the same day, temps, driver, etc.

I wonder how the ecoboost non awd performs 0-60. Guessing very to the hybrid probably 7.3 or so

I'm a little mystified by the comments about the exterior of the truck being boring, when that's exactly why I like it. It looks like a truck. It looks like a Ford truck.
I wouldn't want something that didn't look like a regular truck, can't stand the Santa Cruz styling.

Right. Journalists have bought into the concept of "identifying as" in various other contexts for some time. Anybody who ever had a compact truck 15 years ago didn't give a .... what the vehicle was categorized as or what anybody else thought about it.

The performance numbers are close.
The mileage numbers are not even close.
And eco boost cost $1,000 more.
So the only negative to the hybrid is a loss of a little space under the back seat.
I have said all along the Mavericks sweet spot is 42 mpg city and $19,995 msrp. I’m glad I waited for the hybrid, my delivery is between Christmas and New Years.

I don’t trust Motortrend for anything car related.

It's a truck. Let's see a real test, 40 bags of mulch (1,000 lbs.) and a helper, 0 to 60 to 0. Time and distance.

Not 1k in the bed 0-60, but they did a "frustration test"

FRUSTRATION TEST

6.8 sec @ 457.2 ft*

5.7 sec @ 385.8 ft**

* 35-55 mph, 4% grade acceleration with 1,500-pound trailer
** 35-55 mph, 4% grade acceleration with 3,000-pound trailer

Did they stop and what was the stopping distance?

Interesting piece is they list their 0-90 times by 10mph intervals, and it appears as though the hybrid is faster from 60-90 and 45-65. Begs the question: Hybrid better for passing on the highway?

ACCELERATION TO MPH	Hybrid	EB AWD 4K
0-30	2.9 sec	2.3 sec
0-40	4.2	3.5
0-50	5.7	5.2
0-60	7.6	7.0
0-70	9.8	9.4
0-80	12.5	12.4
0-90	16.0	15.8
0-100	-	-
PASSING, 45-65 MPH	3.7	3.8

Want to race me?
My eco is quick
I will blow your doors off but you will get 40mpg to my 28mpg. I will take the power. City and Cali people, lol. Country boys with survive.

Wow, nice looking truck.

Lol. No.

I don't see anything about stopping with a load, but they measure 60-0 braking. The hybrid was significantly shorter.

The 2nd Con on the Con list they made will make 2.0 owners get up in arms (even though they haven’t gotten behind to the wheel of a hybrid to compare). “what? How dare they say the 2.0 isn’t as good as the hybrid?!”

"Country boys will survive..."... Apparently in the suburbs, based off of your picture.

Ha! Also, I don’t think a half second in the 0-60 will be blowing my hybrid doors off. But if it does, I’ll buy some new ones with my fuel savings.

But I am really digging the alto blue color the more I see it!
