Wondering out loud if a business case could be made. Ford has already mated Ecoboost 2.0 to HF55 hybrid transmission in Lincoln Corsair PHEV, but not using the PTU & TFI units from Maverick, using rear electric motors, probably for weight/cost since Lincoln Corsair is not hauling a load & only...

The hybrid really makes the busines case as a field service vehicle. Hybrids are made to rack up loads on nonstop travel miles with all the reliability & lack of fanfare of a toaster, & do it cheaply so you make $ on the mileage reimbursement. A smaller less robust version of the Mav hybrid...

As with everything automotive, volume manufacturing brings price down. Powerboost is built at low volume hence the $10k more than Lightning pricing. Sadly I dont think the EREV F-150 will use Powerboost drivetrain, alot more mechanical parts, 3.5L Ecoboost V6 + hybrid 10r80 its a lot more...

The larger the ICE engine & generator get, the closer you get to a conceptually hybrid drivetrain, which will provide torque for a longer interval, at the cost of lower fuel-efficiency. I think we get a good clue from Ford's F-150 hybrid-electric the "PowerMax" drivetrain which is quite amazing...

"I hope I’d be smart enough to hook it up THEN turn on the power" I really didnt want to get into NFPA 70E Arc Flash requirements here - how to keep this short. You are describing safe operating procedures for line voltages below 480VAC. Above 600VAC it starts becoming the difference between a...

If I primarily wanted a people hauler that could haul a load in a pinch a after removing seats, id pick an AWD minivan. Not gonna match the towing & hauling of Maverick but its the closest a people hauler will get for mpg & ride quality. I think the only hybrid & AWD minivan is Chrysler...

100% agree, I would think about an EREV but absolutely never a BEV for Field Service interstate hauling -- maybe interstate passenger & light load hauling but every BEV truck so far has been a shit-show when attempting to use for truck stuff hauling a load over anything past commutting & god...

Thinking out loud, Im pretty sure the reason no front bench seats is airbag frontal crash regs - automakers would be required to have an airbag behind the center console (noone i know of has figured out how to make a center console soft enough to blow out safely)

Purchased Feb 2025 14,700 miles Oh and I need to inflate tires, cold weather seems to slowly deflate themguess I should inflate to 38psi

Great looking big dog backseat liner. Throw it in covered bed, and back seats ready for passengers wearing tuxedos.

Yes but ONLY fleet sales. 2 seat cabs dont give a lot of room to move the seat back for tall drivers, who doesnt care about 2 seat not being comfortable? Fleet managers, its not meant to be a luxury drive. But Maverick is not the truck a Fleet Mgr look at when wanting an extended bed IMO...

Same here, twice had a passenger but both times I was very glad to have them. Jumpseats for me would be OK if they fit a carseat. Im not sure if that would just make it the size of a 4 door, I also had a Ranger with jumpseats absolutely no way to fit a carseat, & comfort wise, a skinny adult...

Lincoln Corsair shares platform with Escape, reviews say seats are much more comfortable. Any chance they would drop in for Maverick driver seat?

Well with Mav it looks like you hit the apex of the perfect storm bud. Trucks always held their resale value better than anything, and then you have Maverick that is objectively cheaper to manufacture than many SUVs including ones that drop in value quick. Noone can say anything about your...

Speaking of, remember the Mustang in electric blue I want that blue so bad almost bought a Mustang for it. Why cant Ford send some Mavs to the Mustang paint boot, I want that wet paint look.

Or Tennessee Titans fans. BTW if you buy this color do NOT park it anywhere near Lexington KY especially UK campus during any games between the Wildcats & Titans - you wont have a truck, orange drives big blue nation fans rabid haha

Yes at least for Hondas & Toyotas, hybrid resale vs nonhybrid has remained sky-high even past 100k miles. Toyota primed its buyers with the idea of the hybrids being the premium version, no barebones hybrid variant the lots only had loaded option hybrids you wanted barebones it was non-hybrid...

As context, trucks in general consistently hold their value longer than SUVs & sedans. I think it will continue but not to the extreme of 22-24 Mavericks, it was just a "perfect storm" for 2025 resale values: low new vehicle supply in general coming off covid, truck-level resale, low starting...

Wild to realize how small Ranger was all the way to last generation before the major redesign. I had a 96 Ranger, backend looked like that but why is that Ranger so much lower to the ground than Maverick did they have 15" automobile wheels I cant remember. But yeah the 96 Ranger felt much...

I believe the MT Article said 2025 the Maverick was a close tie for Rivian, which had just done a 1st coast to coast drive with an EV Truck, so Rivian truck got it for doing the 1st of something. I dont know why Mav didn't get 2022 TOTY year it came out, im too lazy to go look up what actually...
