Lots of talk about the hybrid (understandable), but what kind of MPG should we expect from the Ecoboost? I did search for the answer but struck out. I reserved an FX4 plus 4k tow package and I'm pretty excited!

If you are looking for power then I would suggest the 2.0 AWD. It should feel pretty quick and have the passing power. The Hybrid would likely feel pretty powerful off the line but likely fall off pretty fast past 30mph or so.Maybe this isn't the place for this so please let me know if off-topic, but I'm quite green when it comes to engine knowledge. I'm definitely interested in the hybrid based on the economy, but my main interest in deciding which drive train would be ideal for me is performance. I like that in my current vehicle i'm able to pass cars/move through traffic fairly well. Can anyone offer insight into which set would be best to continue that? AWD, or should I stick with FWD? Does the hybrid electric offer any help from a red light?

Do you know something I don't? I hadn't heard any intention to make an AWD Hybrid.2.5L Hybrid AWD 38/28/34 (next year)
Ford never throws all their eggs in one basket at launch. You can bet they have other options under wraps for the 2023 models.Do you know something I don't? I hadn't heard any intention to make an AWD Hybrid.
I was always under the impression that the Escape hybrid was FWD only until I checked and sure enough, there is an AWD hybrid. Figured AWD wasn't coming until the PHEV.Ford never throws all their eggs in one basket at launch. You can bet they have other options under wraps for the 2023 models.
with the demand of awd hybrid and it’s already an option on escape. It definitely is coming soon
Do you really think the non-max tow version will be that low? Isn't the Maverick's AWD mechanics different from the Bronco Sport's? I was thinking it would be like 21/28/25; between the Sport and the Escape in fuel economy. I can see the max towing being exactly like the Sport though.2.0L FWD 22/27/25

Though to say with that bed. I’m not sure how much of that will affect the milage. City might be better than what I guess. But I’m worried about highway milage.Do you really think the non-max tow version will be that low? Isn't the Maverick's AWD mechanics different from the Bronco Sport's?

There's an interesting quote from this Ford Authority article:Though to say with that bed. I’m not sure how much of that will affect the milage. City might be better than what I guess. But I’m worried about highway milage.
for reference the Ridgeline drops 2mpg highway 1mpg city vs the Pilot Because of the weight and the bed
