New Maverick Models / Variants Are Coming Says Ford

[GonnaGetItOneDay]

AWD hybrid 2k over 24 prices and plugin at 35k. Just speculating here.

I would trade in my current 23 XLT hybrid tomorrow for an AWD XLT hybrid.

Plugin would be like a $5K bump, not $10K.

At first I would agree with you BUT is the motor strong enough to drive the car all by itself. On my current hybrid I need to accelerate really slowly or the engine fires up. I don't think the battery is depleted its just the electric motor doesn't have enough power. .

I guess we need to know if the plug in Escape has same size electric motor in its transaxle as the maverick? . Or is the escape plug in AWD and uses a second motor on rear axle to give it enough power? Ia m asking as I don't know. I ask all this as the maverick might require more that just a bigger battery to be plug in type? If so it could be more than 5 grand?

I see Hybrids are 57% of all Maverick sales.

PHEV would tempt me to upgrade way sooner than I planned. Especially if there is ProPower in the bed instead of the wimpy 400w inverter. AWD is not as much a big deal for me as being able to do almost all my daily driving on battery.

Cherry on top would be ventilated seats and Sync4 with wireless carplay on the Lariat Lux, that is the only real features I feel like it is missing.

I imagine they would take the price, add the Tax credit then a premium. Can't have anyone getting a "deal with the tax credit", just will cause the MSRP to increase and pad their margins.

Anyone know if the Maverick Battery uses enough lithium / minerals from the US / NAFTA to get the tax credit if they did a PHEV?

A true ST (meaning it has a manual), would lure me back!
2.0 or 2.3, ok with me.

They need to do something, at the current rate of orders, they will be caught up by May.

This! Demand is cooling... These new models / trims will all have higher margins... So even if they can't sell as many, they will earn more with them than XL FWD EB/Hybrids w/ few options. The XLT is not being taken up... Some folks like me ordered Lariat ONLY becuase they eliminated a few key things from the lower trims altogether (I was squarely in the XLT camp until a few key items no longer became available... clearly a bait/switch move by Ford)....

Twist beam is a fake independent suspension. Far from a solid axle.
Chevy Cavaliers used this, inexpensive.

Twist beam is not independent at all, nor does it need to be. The twist makes it less rigid than a solid, more rigid than independent. It works fine either way.

I'm curious if there is any "PRE-ENGINEERED" structure below the maverick that could support a bigger battery pack etc.

Buy a couple salvage batteries from some of the totaled out Mavericks and wire them up im
n the bed under a tonneau cover.j

My guess for AWD hybrid is more like 7-10k over, no way it’s as cheap as 2k.

"Ford Blue is rolling out new derivatives of its iconic nameplates, which are hugely popular with customers and generate superior revenue and margins. They include the forthcoming Ranger Raptor pickup, Mustang GTD super-car and track variants, and new extensions of the Bronco and Maverick nameplates."

You joke, but if someone made a maverick minivan where the back half was a removable cap and had removable seats to convert into a bed...

I'm totally not joking slap a transit connects backside on my Tremor and I will go rob a bank tomorrow at dawn to pay for it. Removable would be sweet and being born a custom vanner that is sooo much a long plotted dream of mine, but even the solid shell would be great, in 20 years I will cut a hole in it and slap on a Italian ragtop.

I heard we're getting a Maverick Sport Trac, where instead of chopping off the roof and adding a bed like they did in the Explorer, they're gonna chop off the bed and turn it into an SUV instead

Oh. Like an Escape?

Same here!

I just like the idea of it. Beats FWD

• Tires have to be matched. If you blow one with semi-worn tread, you now bought an entire set
• Less mpg
• More complexity, things to break

Lots of bad reasons to go AWD IMO

And I drove FWD in the NE for a decade

Yeah, the 2022 and 2023 hybrid models were a sweet spot for Mav pricing.

All I got from this was that Mav pricing is going to continue to push up. I'd imagine they'll be high 20's for the XL by 2025 and everything else will be in the 30's / low 40's.
