  1. How do you guys feel about the cvt transmission?

    That’s the issue with belt CVTs. Very inefficient at the low and top end of the ratio range. The geared CVT should be much better
  2. Ford Maverick ST Speculation!

    I would definitely suggest a e85 tune if you have e85 near you. Slightly worse MPG than premium but $10 a gallon cheaper
  3. Hybrid Batteries Life & Replacement Costs?

    Battery and motor tech has come a LONG way in ~10 years since that came out.
  4. Ford Maverick ST Speculation!

    The new Ford Motor Company/ Volkswagen Group MEB Electric Vehicle Platform is supposed to be out SOON. So a Maverick based off of that would come in 2025/2026. An ST could definitely fill the void till then. however CURRENTLY the MEB platform only has 302hp and 230lbft total from both motors...
  5. Ford Maverick ST Speculation!

    The 2.3 is just a stoker 2.0. Same bore. the only difference is Connecting rods and Crank shaft. You can get conversion kits for $2,000 and their forged. get that. E85 fuel injectors. Turn up the boost. You could easily get to 400hp 400lbft
  6. Hybrid Batteries Life & Replacement Costs?

    Degeneration on hybrids isn’t as bad as EVs. but typically if the hybrid power train dies it REALLY dies before that 100k miles. my brother has a 2007 Prius with 130k miles and still can hit 60mpg+ Regularly. So I’m sure NEW it could hit 65-70. But that’s still amazing! So if the Maverick...
  7. Hybrid Batteries Life & Replacement Costs?

    I would not worry at all. Reading other forums of people with Escape and Fusion hybrids. Most have said they hit 200k+ miles with no issues at all. Battery replacement installed by a dealer will cost ~$2000 but that cost is getting cheaper and more small shops are getting their hands on...

  9. Ford Maverick ST Speculation!

    Let’s see. focus RS $37,000 Bronco Sport Badlands $33,000 Ford Edge ST $43,000 yea I could definitely see the ST Maverick starting over $35,000
  10. Ford Maverick ST Speculation!

    https://apple.news/AcyZ0aPFXS5G5ul9XQkhMtg https://www.motortrend.com/news/ford-maverick-st-sport-truck-render/ Automobile magazine speculation on the Maverick ST. Basically a Ford Focus RS with a Maverick Body! Exactly what I want. If demand is there and Maverick sales stay strong it’s a very...
  11. Maverick 0-60 times (hybrid / ecoboost)

    looking at the 2.5 n/a Hyundai vs Hybrid Maverick you can see the slightly more torque in lower rev range. thats Where the Electric motor comes into play.
  12. Maverick 0-60 times (hybrid / ecoboost)

    I can see 6.9 for the NON FX4/Towing package with the taller rear end. But the fx4/towing package has a shorter rear end. That will help 0-60 times. Close to 6s
  13. Maverick VS Santa Cruz options (preliminary) compared

    Updated with Max price for each trim (excluding dealer options) Also with more options. Still waiting on more Hyundai Information
  14. Santa Cruz begins production, still no pricing

    That’s what I like the most about fords. They pay attention to the customer demands. they have a whole team of people that go to car shows, swap meets, (check forums 👀) and such, and ask what people want and leak out what they might do. All to improve their vehicles. That’s why In all of the...
  15. Tonneau, did you order one?

    We have had, Soft cover, soft tri fold, hard trifold, clam shell, box, and hard roll up. I prefer the Hard roll up. Second would be the hard tri fold. Because the hard trifold can hold more on the cover and it’s more water proof. And you can remove the whole thing easily. But it takes up more...
  16. Tonneau, did you order one?

    Yes my hard top keeps MOST of the water out. But the seal near the tailgate isn’t 100% perfect. So typically I’ll get some water there.
  17. Santa Cruz begins production, still no pricing

    I’m still waiting on what trim/ options are grouped together. Hyundai doesn’t like stand alone packages or options. Just trims. So it will be interesting.
  18. Tonneau, did you order one?

    That’s how my cover goes on and works on my Silverado. $1200 for a 5x6.5’ bed. I imagine a 4.2x4.5’ will be cheaper.
  19. Do we *know* if they will produce an awd hybrid in the near future?

    Ford never waits until the refresh. However they never give you EVERYTHING year one either. I would guess 23/24 mode year. Refresh in 26 will be the full EV
