I still don't understand why the Santa Cruz and the Ridgeline aren't offered as hybrids. The SC is based on the Tucson which has both HEV and PHEV powertrains. You'd figure with the RL being unibody, Honda could make one. And now with auto manufacturers seemingly pumping the brakes on...

The AI creation just superimposed the Expedition's front end with the 6G Ranger's rear. I think that is a slight miss. However, I wouldn't be surprised if some variant of the Expedition's double blade design is integrated into the Maverick. We know from "spy photos" that the headlights will...

Here is a quote from that link you sent: "Designed to prioritize the use of voice, Google Assistant serves as the default voice assistant and Alexa Built-In is also available as an alternative for in-vehicle controls such as to set in-vehicle temperature, search information, find and set a...

I highly doubt the Comanche model would work either of the CAFE or safety standards of today. I don't think the weight of the reinforced frame would help fuel efficiency (the main goal of the Maverick) nor with crash crumple zones for safety standards. Also, I think you're over simplifying the...

I think you have the right perspective. Current BEV technology seems to require the batteries to be mounted in a frame. IIRC, almost all current BEV are a cab on top of a battery/motor "frame" (and if I'm wrong, please correct me). A small single cab truck for property and/or local driving...

** Of course, this is my speculation as my engineering degree is in civil, not mechanical or automotives in the slightest. ** I think people are forgetting that the Maverick is a unibody design. In order for Ford to make a double or single cab Maverick, there would have to be significant...

I hope it's just an option as the refreshed Escape is keeping the smaller 8" screen with it's physical knobs for audio and climate control for the low and low-mid trim levels. I'm one of the ones that never thought the Maverick's current screen was too small. However as I know I'm going to...

As someone who owns an Escape with both the app and keypad, I can definitely say the pad has been more useful than the app. The app is finicky at times; I've had moment I tried to remote start or unlock/lock my vehicle via the app from sight distance, and the app will say it did its job though...

It makes me wonder what a Maverick based on the 3rd gen Escape would have looked like.

Soooo.... I'm just going to skip the bulk of this thread as I pay off my 2020 Escape that was $6k under MSRP and with a 2% interest rate. I just so happened to suddenly need a vehicle in 2021 right when used car prices soared above new car prices yet dealerships still had tons of inventory and...

I saw that article. Based on the pictures where you can see the light from the headlights, it looks like we are definitely getting a restyling of the front end.; the light from the headlights is higher than on the current Maverick. The rear light housing has the same indentation as the current...

If Ford made an AWD hybrid Maverick, I'd seriously consider trading in my Escape. As a matter of fact, I'm waiting to see who will make an AWD hybrid variant first: Ford's Maverick, Hyundai's Santa Cruz, Honda's Ridgeline, or whatever the rumored Toyota and/or Stellantis equivalent(s) are.

So apparently, the owner traded the Maverick in for a 2022 F-150 with the 2.7L V6 engine. That engine when configured right can tow 10,000 lbs. I'm no towing expert in the slightest, but that seems awfully close tot he limit for a 8,800 lbs. trailer weight. And doesn't that make the tongue...

I'm going to watch during my lunch break, but does the video mention anything about mid-grade (89 octane) fuel? I'm curious if it even makes a recordable difference.

True, but it's also more than politics. It's financial costs, business partnerships, resources, demographics, domestic and international bureaucracy, and other factors that go on behind the scenes that many of us have zero information on. Don't get me wrong, I have my opinion on this. I'm...

I do believe in free speech, bud. I actually generally enjoy free speech and the cordial yet passionate exchange of opinions in this forum, thus why I joined a long while ago when they opened this forum up after lurking in the Bronco Sport forum. What I do find annoying is once again see a...

6 pages in and all I see are people from all spectrums of the conversation arguing about topics they are not experts in nor have their views back by vetted scientific/academic sources. Typical modern day world. I think it's time for mods to close down yet another pointless thread.

It's just weird for them to release 3 vehicles within the past 2 years with the C-clamp design to then just drop it. What's funnier is that the '24 F-150 looks closer in line to the F-150 Lightning which has styling cues from the 13th generation F-150. :LOL: Must be something special about...

Here you go.

So some leaks have come out showing a snippet of what the refresh Gen14 F-150 will look like. Mush to my surprise, it looks nothing like the rest of the Ford line-up. The Maverick set the new truck design trend for Ford, especially considering that the new Ranger and SuperDuty took after it's...
