I have been flat towing this 2018 PHEV Fusion for two years now. I would change to a PHEV Maverick if they were available. Otherwise, no to a regular hybrid.

We simply have differing opinions…..

I respect your opinion but I would suggest that there is a reason people pay dearly for home owner’s insurance and life insurance. It is simply to assist or head off a catastrophic expense down the road. Owning an extended warranty works the same way. At one time I had three vehicles with a Ford...

I just purchased an 8 year/75,000 mile Ford ESP Premium plan this morning for a 2018 Ford Fusion Platinum Energi vehicle I purchased 4 days ago. It has 16,400 miles but it has been 38 months since its original delivery. Ford will extend the acceptable contract purchase period to 41 months if...

Just a gut feeling. I hope I’m wrong but in the mean time I just picked up a PHEV Fusion to get an idea of how I would like driving a hybrid. So far I really like it a lot and I think I may wait for a plugin Maverick with the larger battery.

I came to the conclusion that I won’t see my ordered hybrid until May of next year. Soooo, I went ahead and bought a used Fusion PHEV. I’m hooked! This is the way to go! This Fusion hybrid has the 2.0L Atkinson and the HF35 eCVT transmission. The vehicle performs very solidly in town, accessing...

I checked this afternoon. Nothing yet.

I just had my oil changed in my F-150 in Baton Rouge at Robinson Brothers Ford. There was an EB Maverick delivered earlier this week to someone who ordered it. No one could remember the color. I guess this owner is not on this website.

I stopped by Superior Ford this morning. Nothing new to report. They had the acknowledgement that the order was received with the M001 code. My email has been submitted to Ford with my order. They have one EB order in process. All the other orders are hybrids with the M001 designation on the...

…or maybe this 4 footer at the tailgate end of the bed. The 3 footer could be put at the front of the bed between the wheel wells. At any rate, my Maverick will come with a folding bed cover so this should fit below the cover. If you put a tool box on top the side rails it might block the back...

I’m going by Superior Ford tomorrow morning to see if there is any confirmation from Ford on any of the dealership’s orders.

2 thumbs up, 👍👍, great review, thank you!

I have purchased four ESP 8-year Premium plans in the last 8 years. So far, only one vehicle had a serious issue that resulted in an expensive repair. The warranty cost of that repair exceeded the price paid collectively for all four ESP Premium plans. Also, presently I am down to just one...

Your signature is very eye opening with respect to the hybrid ordering process. Thanks

I am old enough to remember clearly the introduction of the 1964 1/2 Mustang. Initially it was basically a Falcon with different sheet metal styling. Lee Iococa put together a phenomenal marketing campaign and produced a sports car that began the new class of “pony” sports cars. The base price...

The drive belt I was referring to would have been on the bottom balancer, not the transmission side of the motor.

Is the water pump on the ICE internal or external 12 volt driven?

Great review, very concise and to the point. Also very honest and genuine. Thank you!

This is in Utah, $9500 ADM, advertised online. https://www.lhmforddraper.com/new/Ford/2022-Ford-Maverick-Draper+UT-ebed9f9c0a0e097121ddba864ebf18a1.htm

Variable cam timing can change compression ratios. This might not be the exact 2.5L in the Maverick but I would not be upset if a Ford tech would contribute some Informative links to this thread. I do believe this engine has some similarities to the hybrid engine now being used. It was the...
