"AMAZING!" Review of 2022 Maverick XLT FX4 2.0 EcoBoost by TheStraightPipes

Damn you guys are fast! Was just about to post this. I'm changing my mind about white, I was afraid it would look like a fleet vehicle, but is actually not bad at least in this trim.

The white looks good with the black painted wheels that come with the FX4 package. With the steel wheels it looks more like a fleet vehicle. The local Post Office uses the steel wheels on their newer vehicles.

Great review. Still waiting for those Hybrid reviews. I am sure performance will not match the EcoBoost. It's all about fuel economy with that one.

How the heck did Toronto get stock already and not NYC Tri State?

I'm thinking the Hybrid will be faster 0-30 since it will have instant torque. The EcoBoost would win 0-60.

I know there has been concern about exhaust hanging so low on 2.0 EB AWD. Check out from .03 seconds onward. I don't plan to off road but I'm still a bit concerned why route the exhaust so low.

I'm in team-hybrid, but I doubt it. The AWD Ecoboost in this example was brake boosted, which while not a realistic launch that you are going to feel 99% of the time at stop lights and stop signs, does mean its overcoming quite a bit of the soft launch the turbo would otherwise have.

I think we'll find out this week either way, but my prediction is the hybrid will be about two seconds behind. The real kicker with the Hybrid is going to be economics, as its not only the least expensive, but the city fuel economy around town can't be touched by anything else in class.

Filling up my current 32 gallon fuel tank that drains at 16mpg is a bit of an ouch with gas prices on the rise.

Still curious about the drive modes. They mention the flag (sport) was still showing but does nothing..... booooo!i want the quicker steering with that mode, cause you know; tight city driving. I read the manual and it mentions the adaptive steering. I wonder if we can force it to learn sportier steering.
"
"Adaptive learning helps correct road irregularities and improves overall handling and steering. The system assists the brake system to help operate advanced stability control and accident avoidance systems.

If your vehicle loses electrical power or detects a concern when you are driving, the system switches off and you retain normal steering function. Additionally, whenever you disconnect the battery or install a new battery, drive your vehicle a short distance before the system relearns the strategy and reactivates all systems."

My favorite part of the video was the comment about door storage.


How is it that no one else has mentioned that the door panels are completely hollow?

Not completely. There's a bit of storage inside the door panel in the front doors, but it's only maybe 3-4 inches. Not as deep as on my Fusion which fills much more of the available space. The rear doors have basically none.

Edit: actually looks like it's deeper than I first estimated. I guess I didn't notice the area past the rib on the one I looked at.

Well, there must have been some intentionality behind it. The raised rib looks like to hold something in place and to keep it from sliding out.

When I saw it, I thought it would be a great place for a 1st aid kit or something like that.

That's deeper than I expected. I guess I didn't notice there was more space behind that raised bit when I looked on the trainer I saw.

I asked @mdl20813 to measure and this is what he sent me:

I'm wondering if I can fit something like this in there:

That might fit behind the back seats. I'm planning on seeing what sort of emergency/in case needed items (specifically winter stuff) I can fit back there.
