I’m an old geezer driving an EB. Not connected to Ford App. Not because I’m afraid of Hybrid tech or the online app - heck we geezers invented that stuff. I drive the EB without App because I don’t want to deal with any young tech support folks lol 😂 Edit - we geezers also invented video...

You would think the young ones would be appreciative of all the technology we geezers invented. Computer, internet, PC, smartphones etc. Their modern Maverick is chocked full of Boomer innovations. Oh well, they gave us Facebook & TikTok yay!

Surely you can’t be serious. The Hybrid & Ford App are preferred by the old geezer Boomers on this Forum. Not surprised you drive an old fashioned ICE vehicle;)

Moose muffins:) Hey, being wary when buying a high mileage 6 year old Maverick that is beyond any warranty coverage is smart. First question I would ask is “what is your MTC user name?”. There are certain members I would never buy a used Maverick from. Others I would pay a premium. Also, I...

Agree. 10w30 conventional oil was the Ford recommended oil back in the 70’s. 5w30 not invented yet. Not sure what oil the current drivers of old Maverick cars are using - probably 10w30 like you advise. Probably don’t need full synthetic:)

Of course:) But the OEM 6 or 8 cylinder Maverick engine would last longer than an 202X Maverick EB if using 1970’s conventional oil. BTW, the 1960’s era Chevrolet Corvairs had turbos. Air cooled 6 cylinder turbo engine using the crappy 1960’s conventional oil. My Pop had a Corvair. Wish he...

MM, do you disregard your OLM like Ranko does? Still curious how soon Ranko’s OLM goes to 0%…within 3 months maybe?

If fe If fed bananas - King Kong for sure. Toss up if fed whale meat.

I ask again politely - show me a large enough sample of Maverick Hybrids with over 250,000 miles to back up your conjecture.

No data available yet for your conjectures on the Maverick Hybrid. Time & Motion will tell.

Which engine would last longer - 2026 Maverick EB using oil from the 1970’s Maverick (Conventional 10W-30) Or…. 1970 Maverick V8 using same oil. Answer….the 1970 engine 2026 Maverick EB using current Full Synthetic 5W-30 Or…. 1970 Maverick V8 using current Full Synthetic 5W-30 Answer…...

That is why I would be wary of buying either at 6 years old & 120,000 miles:) The average age of a Maverick Hybrid battery and a Maverick EB transmission are well below 3yrs/50,000miles at this point in time. We’ll see how they hold up at 6yrs/120,000 miles per Cherokee’s hypothetical question;)

As long as you keep changing your oil multiple times per year & your oil stays strong & clean - no reason for Blackstone to get skittish:)

Imagine running a modern engine on 1960’s oil. The modern engine would blow up quicker than a 1960 car on that same oil:)

Modern oils have improved exponentially. Modern engines - not so much. Blackstone & SPEEDiagnistix both recently recommended a 3,000 mile interval for my next oil change.

Ah - the first row on your report is incorrect. That is user input designed to let Blackstone know how many total miles are on the sample you send in… I would love to see Blackstone’s comment if they realized you had almost 100,000 miles on that 7 month old oil! Whatever oil brand you used...

As a buyer - I would be extremely wary of either one. If they both were meticulously maintained, non rust belt, and healthy mileage mix of highway/city - I would chose the EB because it should last another 6yrs/120,000miles. The hybrid battery will need to be replaced to last another...

Agree. Been using mine for 6 years. Don’t know how accurate it is - but it matches the readout on my Dewalt tire inflator whenever I need to top off:

The Hybrid is more capable of achieving high mpg’s. The Ecoboost is more capable of achieving high speeds. I think it is a tie? Hybrids do sell a bit better than EB’s though….

But we can all agree the EB is more capable. It is just a matter of degree as to how much more capable it is. Yes, 30% more horsepower will show up in quicker acceleration if nothing else.
