You're leaving out the rubber band effect not existing with the eCVT, which makes it NOT drive like most CVTs. As I said before, the only thing it has in common is that there are no 'gears' for it to shift through. That patently isn't what you said from the start. Ill quote it below as a...

The increased base price for the MY25 Maverick can almost entirely be explained by the fact that the FWD Eco is no longer an option.

You hit the gas and the vehicle kinda stalls for a second before really 'kicking in'. It is extremely obvious on most traditional CVT vehicles. In effect, this is the only thing that the eCVT has in common with the traditional CVT, as far as I am aware, and that is simply because it does not...

This perfectly describes how it feels when my Subaru accelerates.

The Maverick's eCVT is nowhere near the same as a 'traditional' CVT. The only thing they share in common is three letters in the name. Still have no clue why Ford named it that, considering the reputation of CVT transmissions.

I was more referencing the limited or exhausted availability portion. Pure speculation, but that may indicate there was a supply shortage which resulted in some vehicles being pushed back. (mine was pushed back by 3 weeks)

Well that explains why my AWD Hybrid XLT order got delayed, I think? Either that, or I'm reading that wrong entirely.

Way better than the steelies, imo. Looks good!

I have to ask the people that are passing on these MY25 orders: What happens to the order deposit in this case? Does the dealer just keep the deposit?

This is highly likely.

I took a look at the Frontier originally before I ordered the MY25 Mav, and the deciding factors for me were: 1) size. The Frontier would have been a really tight squeeze in my garage, if it would have fit at all. 2) economy. The Maverick destroys the Frontier in fuel economy, even as the...

If my math is right that is close to 60 miles per gallon after converting to freedom units.

I think the general conclusion we can gather from the 2025 hybrid awd slip test vs the Bronco's slip test is: If you want to go off-road, get a trim designed for it (Tremor). The Maverick AWD Hybrid is not, and was never intended to be an off-road vehicle.

It did fine on the 2-wheel roller test, which is honestly what I would expect for an AWD vehicle that is really only intended to provide a little more traction during inclement weather. If the maverick being tested was the tremor package and was intended more for off-road use, then it failing...

I have a similar build scheduled in February, but mine will be XLT rather than Lariat.

100%. Crazy that the Ranger is larger than some 3/4 ton pickups from the 80s.

to be fair, most off-roaders don't buy new.

I grew up in a VERY GM-biased family (never understood why, since my dad had a Ford Torino in high school and his brother was a Ford guy but w/e). We never once had a Ford car growing up. I told my parents I ordered a Ford Maverick and there was some drama involved. "Why would you ever do...

If going for pure fuel efficiency on a road trip, sure a diesel is likely to win. If going for fuel efficiency with consideration for price at the pump (diesel is like $0.30 more per gallon where I am), then the comparison between the Maverick and a diesel pickup on a road trip becomes more...
