That thing must get mad MPGs, and all in reverse too. That must mean its not using gas since it runs electric in reverse.

I guess I don't understand the appeal of the SC. What makes it special or unique? What is it than a slightly shorter Ridgeline? Whats worse is I can get a ridgeline for about the same money as local dealers are asking for the SC. Sure it looks different, but thats about all it has going for it...

Depends... remodeling a house is kind of a pain without a truck! I would guess you could get around $16k for your accord, that pays of a decent chunk of the Maverick.

Load rating is still very important, since the Maverick has a much higher payload capacity than the Fusion the total load can be much higher. Moot point if they sold, but still important for folks looking for alternative wheels.

In other news, MotorTrend is going to be handing out Emmys and the Nobel Peace prize as well as any other award they can possibly think of.

Nah, I would have gone with the hot pepper red if I wasn't so cheap :LOL: I do really like the Velocity blue I have seen on Ford trucks though, so I'm happy with that too.

Well yes and no. The Maverick is still significantly narrower than most midsize SUVs. It would kinda end up between an escape and explorer, but with more utility than both. I actually considered the Honda Pilot before going with the Maverick. The main issue I had with the pilot is with the...

That kind of surprises me, I would not have thought the regen would be so aggressive. If that is the case, I'm very glad I got the XLT with cruise. I feel like cruise will become your friend with that kind of driving dynamic.

when he used the term PowerBoost I thought he was talking about the PowerBoost F150, which is the only vehicle I have seen that term used on. The PowerBoost F150 a very different powertrain setup vs what the Maverick has. If all he is talking about is a PHEV, then yea bigger battery and slap...

Thats what I was wondering about, what it sounds like he is describing is almost like the hydrostatic drives on tractors. Basically you keep your foot on the pedal until you want to stop.

Just make it a hybrid diesel and be done with it. Imagine the torque output, while you get 60mpg!

Wouldn't that require a completely new powertrain? I feel like its more likely we could see that in the new Ranger.

That and TLF truck got 7s 0-60. I don't know what TFL location is exactly, but Colorado has an average 7kish feet above sea level, which would be a decent hit on power output. Something sketchy about MT 2.0 numbers for sure. Their Hybrid numbers are consistent with what other reviewers saw though.

So whats the correct answer? XL and XLT DRL is lowbeams?

Its only greatest innovation for 2021... I guess its been a slow year :ROFLMAO:

I think MT got 7s for their 2.0. The hybrid got 7.6s 0-60 in the MT tests. Also, yes I spend way too much time reading about Maverick stuff 😳

That would probably kill their explorer sales though. The Maverick and Explorer are about the same length, Explorer is just wider.

Yeah lol, I'm just happy my hybrid wont be a slug. Not like I will be drag racing anyone. And thats a great time for the 2.0! I'm hoping their comment about engine buzz on the hybrid can be quieted down with an engine cover.

Thats actually not a bad point. I don't think a compact 3 row SUV exists. If the back seat folded flat you would basically have a truck with a cap. The other benefit is if you could fold both rows of seats flat, you could actually get longer stuff in your vehicle than in the Maverick. You might...

Yea, or an escape... I don't think Ford needs another SUV clogging up their lineup.
