Maverick ST prototype (wearing manufacturer plates) spotted at Ford facility?!

[Decayed]

If they include the dual clutch rear differential and dropped in a 2.3L this would be worth ordering a '24, too.

Be interesting to see if they could fit the 2.3. A few tweaks and it could be a pocket rocket.

That would be easily implemented for Ford considering the Bronco Sport Badlands has paddle shifters with the same 2.0 Ecoboost and 8F35. Frankly I'm surprised nobody on this forum has figured it out via forscan yet but considering my own journey to add HDC to my XL getting my hands on ford firmware for these newer vehicles is impossible without spending big bucks on a 2 day Ford diagnostic software

It has been figured out mostly, but there are lots of changes that have to be made for it to work
Lots of swapped components

Has someone made a thread documenting this?

I don’t believe so

My heart says: "2.3L Maverick ST "
My head says: "Sport appearance package or ST-Line Maverick "

Auto makers always play the deception game when it comes to new models coming out. Hard to say what will make it to the assembly line but IMO they would not have test mules on the track and streets to just have an ST line appearance package. I would gladly wait in line for anything that follows there previous ST builds in the other models. Hoping for something wild, and it looks like everyone else is hoping for the same!!

What does your checkbook say?

As I sit back and watch, I'm hoping that Ford just gets their a** in gear and builds the orders. I just ordered the Air Lift bags for my 22 XLT hybrid to keep the truck from wallowing while towing the camper, I'm perfectly fine with the factory build and can't see the"lowered stance" as being a good fit for a truck.

Those look to be 2023 Ford Puma ST Powershift Wheel maybe? It's only available on the German market,

There's at least one or two alternate universes where a Maverick exists with a manual trans

It's called "Mexico" . I don't know that for sure, but all the other countries get the cool stuff

Not sure why they keep adding trim levels when they cannot build the ones they already offer.

Manuel may not be offered, though I'm sure he helps build Mavericks.

Production and marketing run in opposite directions at times. They gotta stay ahead of the curve with tapping market segments while constanting catching up to fulfill the need via production. I'd guess they never planned to make as many Mavs as were ordered....it was probably intentional to test the inflationary market post-covid. With success, they'll probably scale up production from here. I'm just a guy that worked for a non-vehicle manufacturer at one time....just a guess.

 

[catshreds]

I predict .9% chance of Manuel option

Well, Mavericks ARE made in Mexico!

Fortunate enough to say "No problem!"

My future hybrid would make a profit if I decide to change lol

Noticed the Pirelli AS 3 Plus tires. Maybe they are 20’s? 2.3l probably not possible with the automatic but who knows?

Good eye, I think you are correct!
