These trucks make too little power to be giving up 30 whp to tires. That's like 35 crank hp which is ~13% loss on top of standard 10-15% drivetrain losses.

I've manually tracked mpgs for my Prius v for over 50k miles at fuelly.com The computer is always optimistic (anywhere from 1-5 mpgs) I never overfill like they did and let the pump shutoff on its only unless its the rare occurrence of a finicky pump that won't stay on.

Why are people saying yes. I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

I have no problem being the fastest car taking off from a light or passing people on the freeway and I drive a Prius v. The average driver isn't racing so it's easy to keep up or beat them.

87. It's what it is designed for. Anything else is a complete waste of money.

Nothing is going to come out that actually does anything. The 2.5L engine operates almost like a generator. Thermal efficiency is the goal. So no air intake, exhaust mods, etc are going to do anything to get your more performance. What would get you quicker acceleration is Motor 2 improvements...

87 regular. Everything else is a waste of money. The Prius community has already done all the research you could ever think of.

I also own a Prius and use this mode. The "B" creates something called "engine braking," which mimics the behavior of a traditional transmission: It fakes a downshift to slow the Prius if it's descending a hill. Why? To keep the brakes from being overloaded if you're on a long, steep grade.

Doubling the existing battery capacity wouldn't be worth the money as in it wouldn't pay for itself before most people have gotten another vehicle.

I fully expect a price increase for 2023 models. Ford would be dumb not to based on demand as well as the pricing of the competition. In addition any improvements made will find their way to the MSRP as well with an additional engineering and design fee which is completely normal.

So only people that agree get to speak? This isn't North Korea.

I drive a Prius v right now that I use as a truck pretty often (bought 600lbs of landscape pavers yesterday). Now I can get an actual truck for a lowish price ($30k for my Lariat Lux order) that gets almost the exact same MPGs as my current car and is it turns out to be A LOT QUICKER. (0-60 in...

Fuelly 2022 Mavericks This is where real world mpg data can be found based on miles driven and gallons to fill back up. You have to do this every tank to get good data. There are phone apps or you can do like me an send a text each fill up and it will records the data foryou

Thanks for bringing up the dolly tow. That is a valid reason to not get AWD but the hybrid (which can be flat towed) would be perfectly fine on the mountain roads. You've already made up your mind but hopefully others can save some money if they can be extremely patient and wait for the hybrid.

That's not happening tank after tank. There is no magic in the 3600lb 2.0T 8sp box shaped Maverick that has it getting better than sedan MPGs all the time. Unless owners drive 55-60mph non stop year round they will all settle around 25-30mpg per tank while the hybrids will see around 8-10 mpg...

There are only a couple reasons to go with a FWD Ecoboost. Can't wait for the hybrid. Don't want to/can't pay for AWD. Those that don't want a hybrid are missing out on savings ($1k up front and better mpgs) and reliability benefits (yes the battery and ecvt will outlast the turbo charger and...

If anyone goes 2.0 the only way it should be had is with AWD. If you say you can't afford it or don't need then also don't need more than the hybrid. I think the only reason 2.0 FWD are even selling is because people can't wait for a hybrid.

100% yes. I went Lariat Lux and there are several things that the Lux package brings that I want. Both items that can be bought alone as well as some that can only be had with the Lux package.

I disagree. The hybrid would always have been the hot seller because of fear for high gas prices.

Stock for stock a Subaru Crosstrek would embarrass a Mav FX4 offroad. Likely mod for mod also. If offroading is a high priority for you then you would do better moving up to a Ranger versus dumping money modding an economy priced Mav.
