2025 Order

[Automate]

I would love to hear your logic behind having more faith in a CVT's longevity compared to a standard 8 speed transmission...

No torque converter
No torque converter locking and unlocking
Only has one set of gears that are always meshed
Never needs to shift gears and never needs synchronizing speeds of gears.
No need for 8 sets of shifting valves, clutches and brakes. to change gears.
No slippage that produces heat.
Significantly less numbers of parts than an automatic transmission.
Proven reliablity since Ford has been using them since 2006 and Toyota before that.

It is NOT A CVT.

It is an eCVT

Thanks for posting this. I was looking for it, but would have known how to post anyway!

OK, so 3/4 of a decade! Hahaha. I rarely keep cars that long, so if the math works for you, go for it. Another thing to consider, AWD Hybrids may carry Dealer ADM's over a EB AWD that's available today.

I'll bet my Maverick that Long McArthur won't mark up a retail order unless it's refused. I do believe the AWD hybrid demand will initially be through the roof. I person like me who's perfectly happy with a FWD since I don't off road or put my vehicle in a situation where the rear wheels will get stuck will resist the temptation of having the AWD badging and the option to use it 1-2% of the time.

I bolded quote is the number one reason I prefer a CVT. Ford tweaked the original Toyota model to minimize wear and stress on individual components. I've been in the automotive repair industry on two different occasions and CVT rarely were the root cause of a vehicle's problem.

ATTN POTENTIAL 2025 FORD MAVERICK BUYERS

Read this on reddit this morning about Ford Maverick specials! Check it out:

"Factory Invoice Pricing on any 2025 Maverick Order at Chapman Ford Philadelphia.

Hey everyone. I am offering a discount on orders again. Email me at [email protected] if interested. If you ordered through me before and looking to order again I have a special return customer offer for you. I look forward to hearing from you. I have plenty of allocation."

This is where I ordered my Maverick, and I know they had a ton of success with Maverick orders and allocation. Food for thought if looking to order one. Might be worth an email to this Mr. Simpson.

then why don't they assess the same fee for any car/truck that gets more than 35MPG? There are plenty of econo pure ICE vehicles that get similar mileage - all they'd have to do is to go by the published MPGs and tack on the same amount. I really don't see what the difference is - a vehicle that gets thrifty MPGs . Conversely vehicles that get substantially below the norm should be getting a discount on their registrations since their owners are buying a lot more gas and thereby paying a lot more in taxes than the norm. As long as they are consistent then it's not a big problem, it becomes a problem when they pick and choose where they are going to take on the difference.

Ask them.
