Interesting concept.
Are you referring to a Korean friend?
Or the former Emperor of China?

I see your research is sub par-Interesting concept.

The number of Maverick owners who are doing stupid things like lifting their truck and changing the driveline angles past what the CV joints were designed for is pretty impressive. There are several good reasons why the Tremor has different halfshafts with its 1" lift. Except for people damaging the CV boots with rock hits, I'd bet that the owners who leave their vehicle unlifted have essentially no CV damage. People do not see this failure on the Escape with the same chassis and suspension components because they do not lift them. I'd like to see some numbers, and also how many of these lifted suspensions are getting warranty replacements when they should not be eligible.

"2022 Ford Maverick all-wheel drive models utilize Dana’s Spicer AdvanTEK Ultra axle with Spicer SmartConnect disconnecting all-wheel-drive (AWD) technology, which was tweaked to work in the front-wheel drive-based pickup."
Would this mean for the hybrid also?
Don't mean to get in the middle of the battle. Just asking.

No battle here, just feeding a couple of trolls this afternoon...
Ahhh, well that does make sense does it not? Thanx!! At any rate, no lift or oversize tires for my EgoBoost going forward as I have no logical reason for either one so not going to sweat it.
The way that the article is written is not very clear. To me, it seems to indicate that Ford is manufacturing the HF45 in house instead of the CV axle shafts.
With that said, I can get mine to shudder a little bit in high torque scenarios. Under 35mph, over 50% power requested. I will monitor and probably have them replaced as I get closer to warranty expiration - waiting mostly in case they update the design.
Knowing the design of the front suspension, I can't imagine wanting to put the CV axles in a worse position mechanically by lifting it. To each their own I suppose.
Either way, it would be interesting to find out if the hybrid does indeed use different CV axles. I know we have a few members here that work in dealerships. The parts counter at my local dealer would share this part # information with me if I asked too...

Well for one thing i think the axles on a hybrid are subject to a lot more wear. As they do the braking a lot too besides acceleration. That extra wear and tear might make you think the axles are a little tougher? I have no idea if they are or not. If not maybe they will wear out faster and become an issue down the line.
Not a huge job I can do it myself. Rock auto has escape hybrid axle at about 160 bucks per side,. not huge issue.,

I searched for "Ford Maverick 2.5 axle assembly" and actually found what I was looking for...
For a much lower price than the EB variety???

I cut the wheel both ways and took a peek at my front end-
At 11k all 4 of my boots are dry...
I noticed a nice sticker on the shaft

That's not what this article means. They brought the electric motors of the drivetrain in house. The axles have the hyundai logo stamped on them, that's hardly in house. A Dana solid axle is a far cry from anything found on the Maverick anyway...
That's a parts locator sticker, look closer on the boots and clamps for where it REALLY comes fromI cut the wheel both ways and took a peek at my front end-
