Curious...did they feel the same weight? Wonder if one is tubular and one solid?
The Lobo has the same diameter as standard bar - but it is stiffer:

“Stiffness & Rate: The Lobo bar uses thicker walls and is significantly stiffer. It features a spring rate of 34.7 N/mm, compared to just 29.9 N/mm for the standard EcoBoost AWD bar. [1, 2]

Hybrid Comparison: If comparing to the standard Hybrid, the Lobo bar is thicker overall (the Hybrid bar is 16mm vs 19mm). [1, 2]

Ford Performance Upgrade: Because the Lobo bar tightens handling and reduces body roll, Ford offers it directly to standard AWD Maverick owners through their catalog (Part #M-5490-MS) as an official handling upgrade.”

Yup, per Ford Performance, thicker wall

"
  • Increased wall thickness
  • Increased rate, from 29.9n/mm to 34.7n/mm"
So same diameter but thicker walled???

Don’t remember the weight difference. I’ll drive this weekend and see if there’s a noticeable difference.
