In solidarity, I completely agree with you. I’ve owned a ‘22 and now a ‘25. Furthermore, without touching anything, I will suddenly get a sharp boost in airflow at highway speed (70+ mph)…it seems to decide when recirculation has been on long enough. Anyone here saying “turn the vents off”...
Thank you.
If Claude was my mechanic…🧐 Here is the answer:
Yes — there are real mechanical differences between your old FWD Hybrid and the new AWD ICE Lariat with Tow Package, and they’d explain what you’re feeling.
Suspension/drivetrain differences:
The Hybrid Maverick is FWD-only, while...
Just traded my beloved 2023 Lariat Hybrid (1,500-lb tow package) for a 2025 Lariat AWD ICE (4,000-lb tow package) because I need to pull a boat. Virtually the same vehicle, I thought. However, the new truck has more "thunks" on any bit of bumpy road, as if there is something loose under the...
I’ve never approached that level of mileage. Sport mode? Late higher rev shifting? 45 around Chicago, 34 at 77 mph highway on ECO.
2 years old 55,000 miles so that’s been my experience.
Just completed replacement on the right side at 48K, all good. However, now I am aware of similar shudder at highway acceleration. Set up a new appointment and hope to get the other replaced as well.
I've never come close to that. 36 Highway flat across Illinois @77) and 45 around Chicago. How does Sport do better than Eco? That's counterintuitive. No challenging you, but truly curious.
Replying to my own post. Repaired over the Thanksgiving holiday at 47,000 miles, right front axle. Took about a week for the part to arrive from Nashville. All good… Covered under powertrain warranty.
Scheduled next week to (likely) replace mine at 48,000 miles. Hard shudder under firm acceleration. I didn't notice it until I did, but now I can always sense it. I wonder when they started to go bad. I did not know, however, that there was a problem getting new parts. I drive 600 miles each...
48,000 miles on my 23 hybrid. 90% interstate driving at 75 mile an hour.I had not driven the truck for several weeks because I was traveling and my family was driving it. Immediately noticed under firm acceleration on an on-ramp with rather severe shaking that I backed off the gas. Not at...
i've observed this as well. I often joke when I pull up to a current year F150 in the same color that I say " it looks like your truck had a baby". It's good for warding off the look of superiority. 🙄
but I agree, older F150s and even F250s are nearly the same size. Not so old Rangers even with...
