Any other 2.0 orders hoping the power is enough?

What the heck of folks doing that needs so much power?

The Rangers & S-10s from the 80s served our Grandpas fine with 4bangers that were <150hp.

Those boomers were spoiled! Back in my day we got around fine on one horsepower, uhm, horses. Sometimes no horsepower at all if you only had oxen for your wagon. The only Ford we had was a shallow section of a river to cross. And if a family member or two died of dysentery on the trail, we didn't sit around and mope about it.

Sure, remind me of our shame. We rode in the backs of trucks with the dog, cooler and 200 lbs of tools loose. Now it’s illegal to even have the dog back there in many places. Soon probably the tools too

My dad had a Jeep Comanche pickup back in the day, old even then, and he'd come pick us up from the pool and we'd get third degree burns if our hands slipped off the towel when he was taking fast turns because the black painted bed was in the sun all day. No cares given by the "responsible" adult. He did his first solo flight in an airplane at 14 and scraped lead paint off of buildings in the summer to pay for it. Its surprising how many of them lived to old age.

We did a road trip from Virginia to Alaska, as a family of 4 in a regular cab Chevy Cheyenne. The only two positives, are: my dad had a carpeted truck bed, and a nice campershell. Negatives, we rode next to the gas can, chainsaw, pee bucket, and no A.C.

We survived, what's wrong with the rest of this generation of Millennials?

I imagine if taking a poll, most people would say that they survived. Not too many corpses raising their hands from the grave to chime in.

Curious if anyone else ordered the 2.0/AWD that has their fingers crossed for decent power. Hoping that this thing won’t be a dog. The 2.0 turbo and AWD combo could be a decent road performer. But the Maverick is pretty long and might be a little underpowered for the curb weight. I’m sure a tune would wake it up a little. But the small engine and even smaller turbo have their limitations

Turbo with AWD & towing package will be plenty fast, especially for a truck. Heard they are getting 0 to 60 in under 6 seconds, & I think better in Sport Mode. Truck, Crew Cab, good MPG, sporty, low price & great in snow etc. what more can you ask for.

 

[PapaRico]

Yeah, I know the old stuff is slow by comparison. But it’s still slow by today’s standards.

I don't have AWD but I certainly do not lack for power. In the words of a poster months ago "The Maverick passes with ease". 0-60 is great, 60-90 is even better.

Yeah, and had to walk to school. Five miles there and 10 miles back, uphill both ways, knee deep in snow and 90 degrees.

Honestly, I was expecting more feel from the engine in terms of torque. Comparing this to our departed(RIP) Escape it feels quite muted when the turbo spools up and the engine is producing power. Just the same though, this thing gets up and goes. As one Youtube review stated something like: "It's faster than it has a right to be..." which sums it up nicely.
