Also there’s the rear suspension for the FWD maverick which may not be rated to handle the lateral stresses from towing that much. The AWD rear suspension is definitely up to it.

Now I get it. Adding the drive shaft and rear diff was cheaper and easier. Suited to the maverick & escape. Also sets things up nicely for placement into the Bronco Sport.

Thanks @Shay 👍🏼 Any changes to the eCVT other than the addition of a pto shaft?

This just in …

The School Bus fleet supervisor’s vehicle is looking amazing. Seriously though, you’ve clearly put a ton of work and hard earned $ into it and it looks great. 👍🏼

I was hoping for a motor in a rear diff/ the rear hubs but in the build-n-price it shows a driveshaft when AWD hybrid is selected. Seems unwise to add mechanisms that lose efficiency & subtract from current output rather than add to it. But I’m no engineer so 🤷🏼‍♂️. Hopefully there have...

I’m looking forward to the deep dives into the changes to the powertrains. I expect to have to wait for production units to get into the hands of YouTubers for that.

This was a good idea. The path from concept vehicle to production on this was reasonably quick and I hope a lot of people that get them like them. I just still don’t get that front facia and its blank zones. In black it’s not so bad though.

Anyone have access to actual details on the ‘25 hybrid AWD drivetrain? Im really interested in seeing what’s been changed as far as the eCVT and drive to the rear wheels. Is there a second motor for the rear or did they actually send a driveshaft/ torque tube to a rear diff? So many...

Long-Macarthur in Kansas. I’ve bought 2 trucks from them in the last 2 years. No BS at all. All up front and honest. Good communication.

Good point. Even Toyota does this with their RAV4 prime. Can’t get even a mid level plug in, only the top 2 trims.

Wouldn’t all the data associated with the codes be logged in the control module? I haven’t read this whole thread so forgive me if I’m repeating something already mentioned. There’s the persistent problem of a service department that’s unwilling or unable to actually diagnose something...

I have pretty good hearing. I can discern a number of sounds coming from the speaker like I’d say all the hybrids have. These are all variable pitch or tone and get louder or softer depending on speed etc. These sounds are programmed and entirely artificial. There is a different tone...

Yes well know design choice problem by BAK the oem. They changed the design once it became evident. Customers that are squeaky enough get replacements with a non-glued non-felt version. I’d buy a used glued felt version if it was complete and I could get it reasonably.

498 days. Those days are over however. The payoff for those ‘22 carryover order holders that were ok to wait, was a great deal at the end.

There is a possibility that the blank-spot facia we’re seeing on these “leaked” but intentionally-not camouflaged test vehicles will not be the final iteration. They certainly strike me as unfinished design and could actually be place holder pieces produced, prepped, & painted individually...

Yep, what @Mabcim said ☝🏼plus within each dealership your configuration matters most. If you ordered what Ford is able to build (less constrained or more close to what they projected to build) it could be selected for build date before a higher priority code order within the same dealership...

4,900 miles since delivery 4/16/24. Averaging 40.1mpg since new, last couple tanks 47mpg.

Yea. Dealer is lying. Too common to be surprising. Too bad there are so many dealers like this that are scamming people. Next time find a dealership staffed by people that have souls. There are a few left.

Agree. Headlights looks like they came out of the discontinued parts bin or from the R&D depts test batches. They don’t fit or look like they belong.
