Here’s Why the 2025 Maverick EcoBoost Is Down 12 Horsepower - Gas particulate filter for emissions [CLOSED DUE TO POLITICS]

[Snox801]

There's no point in getting the Ecoboost anyway.

Unless you want people to know you don’t have to sit down to pee.

Yep, it is all over the web. Emissions from fossil fuels cause 7 million deaths per year. That is why petrol particle filters are required in Europe, India, China, Australia and soon in the US as well.

Those same fossil fuels have saved many more lives over the years. So a net positive I would say.

Your gonna need more than the Ecoboost has to offer for that

Also, to address all the bashing PMS I got... My reason for saying the Ecoboost is pointless now was because the hybrid can now tow the same, and has AWD now. If that small performance increase is what you want, go ahead. But I maintain that it's pointless. Just buy a minivan, it'll smoke the Ecoboost maverick in a race. This thing is not a performance vehicle.

Did you see the BIG difference in HP and torque between the AWD Hybrid and AWD Eco? If I order the MY25, it will be the AWD Eco.

I may need more than that but at least I don’t drive around advertising that I sit to pee.
I think a hybrid is pointless. Less power, still makes all energy by gas, has twice the systems to power the vehicle. Which as we know just based on Murphy’s law has more points to fail. What’s the point of the hybrid?
If you want fuel mileage buy a moped. See how this works?

Assume that's a joke seeing I don't think you're that dumb. But sad enough I know a lot of grown men who are that sad, they attempt to bolster their failing masculinity with cartoonist knuckle dragging. INow if it was a pink VW cabriolet.....but the same truck with a different power train? I would imagine any guy that "thinks" that way would just buy a real truck.

That would be a complicated equation but I largely agree but the thinking man would decide that and then IF we can start to move in from fossils ( as much as reasonably possible at this point) AND still maintain the advantages that fossil fuels have us with a lot less pollution ( but not none) why wouldn't you? Nostalgia? Big business interests?
The monarchy system got us a lot but in 1776 we decided to move on.

I have a problem from an engineering perspective with a PHEV carrying an ice drivetrain if I'm rarely using it but the point that " they both get all their power from gas" is too cute by half for those who do mostly suburban driving if one gets 22 mpg and the other 45 .. ..
The moped thing is idiotic to an extreme. One is comparing a Maverick to a ..... Maverick the other not so much.
It would be almost as dumb if I set if you care about towing and don't care about mileage get a 1 ton ...
Doesn't have twice the points if failure, it doesn't a turbo, less gears no starter or alternator and isn't the electric motor integrated in the tranny?
You don't care about mileage? So if the EB Maverick got 5 mpg you would have bought it?

Where I live, Hybrids are not very effective during the winter. The engine runs the entire time anyways, defeating the purpose of the hybrids great mpg. Also batteries and cold...not so good.

The thinking man would question every edict put forth by the powerful, the "connected", the anointed: make them prove their case, rather than revert to their self-proclaimed superior expertise.

Human nature hasn't changed. Power still corrupts and absolute power still corrupts absolutely.

Yes! We question what we don't like and believe those who tell us what we want to hear. "a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest".....

The hybrid will get you a lot more low-end torque, and burns a lot less gas per mile, which means it extracts more energy from that gas than a pure ICE. Also, it uses a planetary eCVT, which, to oversimplify, is a planetary automatic with an electric motor added on to provide the continuous variability and power splitting. It's known, proven tech (standing by for the hyper-technical challenges, heh).

Now, if you need that extra 30 horsepower that the Ecoboost gives you, or you prefer 8 actual gears over the eCVT setup, good for you. But for some of us the hybrid works out better. Me, I like getting 40 MPG hauling deliveries to Jersey City and bringing stock back for my store. 200 miles round trip. Can't do that with a moped. Can do that with a Mav Hybrid.

Only 2 recalls and 0 issues in a year and a half.

Hybrid's recalls are due to Ford's bug-laden software, not the fact that it's a Hybrid.

FWIW, I've only had the stealership do sw updates on my Hybrid once, all at the same time. And no other issues at all. Not even the dead battery thing, which has also affected turbo-ecoboost models.

I read somewhere on the internet (so it must be true) that these filters cost $1,000s.

At least at MSRP!
