All I can say is this could be a HUGE problem in the coming year. Your talking engine/trans removal then replacing the damper at least 10 hours flat rate labor. YIKES that would be major money. I HOPE Ford decides to fix it before they build my 2023 Mav hybrid I just ordered.
True its more money than from ford but at least you have a much better chance of getting the truck. up to you. I was going to ad this drop in liner at about 250 bucks. I was hoping someone here would have tried this one. https://ruggedliner.com/rugged-truck-bedliners/2022/ford/maverick
This hybrid drive train was used in what for 15 years.?? I am asking as I thought other than the escape which I believe has only been out a few years its NEW tech? What other vehicle was this used in with the 2.5 and planetary CVT?
Geeze I hope not. I just placed an order for a 2023 Hybrid xlt.
I thought Ford was looking at the thread on the low speed brake issue, at least he claimed he was with ford.
You say the drive train is
The hybrid drive train is solid, reliable and been in use for over 15 years
On what? The escape uses the same hybrid I think??
I was watching the thread on Hybrid shuddering it sounds like a real issue.
Okay I see the engine and trans has to be removed together. The damper looks like a clutch disk to me. They have springs in the disk on an old style clutch disk,. I know not the same but it looks very similar to me any way.
I understand Toyota hybrid rav 4 has a similar kind of planetary gear...
I HATE DEER. Wish the hunters would take more of them out. Dam stupid animal . I could have been killed by one but by luck he wasn't in my direct path. Did I say I HATE deer.
There is a damper of some kind on the fly wheel? Back in the day there is one on the other end of the crankshaft the harmonic damper. So this damper is only on the hybrid,. I would assume Ford knows WHY this is happening and has fixed it for 2023. I just ordered a hybrid 2023. I wonder why the...
Why ad the spray in liner as it will slow delivery. Get one sprayed in after market, might be another $200 but then you get your truck. I would NOT ad anything i could easily get after market like a spray in liner. or any kind of bed cover or anything like that. i just ordered a hybrid XLT with...
Well other than my order being a hybrid xlt it has no constraints as i only got hitch full size spar and manual rear slide window. . So maybe May to July?? Or is that even wishful thinking.
I plan on getting my Mav Ziebart. Plus there is that one spot in back by muffler that people added some metal to protect an area that will clog up with road debris. Its posted on a thread in here some were.

I can only imagine there holding off on the order guide as that will have pricing so they want to wait to last minute to see what they project prices on parts to build might be. I am sure they have all the options and colors long set,.
