it won't, but the DCTs he mentioned cannot tow anywhere 2k.Assuming a lowered Lobo will be avail with 4K?
NopeDid they do the split rear bench seat .
A fellow Maverick owner told me the hybrid only came in awd, when I read the 2025 info I noticed awd is an option. I should have read the post first.Oh, apparently I misinterpreted your post.
Nobody is going to be happy about that . Thought that would be changed for sure .Nope
Hell there were automatics 30 years back that would bark the tires when shifting. The 8F is the laziest auto I've ever ownedit won't, but the DCTs he mentioned cannot tow anywhere 2k.
I concede it's not impossible, and I like sequential DCTs. The 8F has a hell of a lot more than 2 clutches and it can lock the torque converter in 4th gear (which is like 25 mph). I think there's a lot less performance advantage of a DCT compared the 8F, versus the automatic transmissions we had 20 years ago.
My biggest doubt is cost. I really don't see that happening compared to a 8F that just skips 2nd.
That's probably the biggest downgrade in my mind. But unfortunately, I don't see that trend reversing. It's a cost-cutting measure most of the time.I really hope that by the time I wear my '23 out manufacturers have gotten over this trend of moving climate and stereo controls to the touch screen. One of the things I loved about the Maverick in the first place was actual buttons for the important controls
I wonder about this also. Bigger battery won't help much. If the hill is long enough, the battery will be depleted and not help.Im interested to know what they did to the hybrid drivetrain for the AWD 4K. Surely they didnt just leave it the same... When the battery gets drained on long uphill climbs and you are down to just a normally aspirated 4 cyl its going to be begging for mercy with a full load. Hopefully they beefed up the battery or something as Im serious considering the hybrid 4k AWD.

Don't forget 25+ years ago that trucks with wheezy 6-cylinders and 8-cylinders barely broke 200 hp and still were rated for 3-tons+ towing. And with the eCVT + electric motor the ICE can run pretty much anywhere in its power band it needs to and convert it into flat electric torque.There is not much you can do with 162 HP ICE trying to pull 4K. Maybe they will not change anything but the 7 pin trailer connect and count on not many people using/pushing the 4K lbs. Ford gets to pocket the extra cost of the 4K Hybrid package then uses it on the extra waranty claims.
I bet they announce all of that tomorrow.Did they offer any pricing or details on what all is included in the Lobo package?
