Both truck are virtually identical, XLT Lux Hybrids... My 2022 had a 'coasting' icon on the left side of the instrument cluster which illuminated when coasting down a hill. My 2023 truck does not....

Another change I noticed in my 2023 vs my 2022 Maverick Hybrid

Was it an actual icon in the cluster that is now missing, or just does not light up anymore?
If it just does not light up maybe 1 of our Forscan wizards can find the switch to turn it back on.
I only have a 2023 (That was ordered in 2021) so I have no comparison.

According to the manual, what you are calling the coasting icon, is the hill descent control icon. Since the hybrid doesn't have hill descent control it kind of makes sense that they removed the use of that icon. I know I was a little surprised that it came on with regen when going down a hill when I got my 22' hybrid.

My 24 is costing way more than my22 but still cheaper than other small trucks.

I have a downhill drive every time I leave my apartment, and the light comes on every time, in my 2022 XL. But, it seems like it is actually applying the brake rather than just coasting. I may be wrong... Actually, I appreciate it, as the speed limit in my apartment complex is 20 (TWENTY!!!) MPH, which is nearly impossible going down hill.

Makes sense to me to have the light come on. I'd call it hill descent control in my 2022 XLT hybrid.
What else would you call it?
I know the 4x4 has something maintain really low speed descent like at under 20 mph.
The hybrid is opposite: automatic speed control while coasting down hills at like 20 mph and above. Let me try it at 15 mph. I don't know what the actual lower limit is.
Hybrids have this: without the speedometer symbol, in bright green:
So I'm calling it a different version, but still hill descent control. It's automatic and works darn well at 20 mph and above.

Little nuances in the manuals.
If equipped with this icon on a button;
when pressed, driver can set a speed between 2 and 20 mph. Above 20 mph the system remains active, but the driver cannot select or deselect this mode. Speed control does not work below 2 mph.
Hence I think the hybrids have this, but only the automated version. There is no button.
The slow under 20 mph version is using ABS and brake pads to control the vehicle.
The hybrid uses regenerative brakes to accomplish the same, but regenerative brakes only work well at speeds above 20 mph, when kW of power produced (drag) is substantial.

Well I'll be buggered.
It worked in my hybrid down to like 4 mph. This was on the downside of a freeway overpass. No % grade is posted since it's only one-third of a block long. So use your imagination. About 10% downgrade. But looking at the regen needle it has room for steeper.
Non hybrid vehicles engines are helped to slow on a downgrade by the compression of the off throttle engine. Because the hybrid’s engine is off when there is no throttle applied there would be no compression caused slowing of the vehicle. Ford engages the engine without fuel injection and ignition so that the compression will help slow on a downgrade without using fuel; that’s when the light comes on. It’s in the owners manual.

What you have circled is not what I am missing between my 22 and 23 trucks. In my ‘22. I would get a coasting icon on the left side (in my old memory) below the pivot point of that gauge needle. I’ve never seen it in my same XLT/LUX 23. I give absolutely cares, just an observation between exact replicate trucks 22-23.

Yes and no.
Partially correct.
It can slow and/or maintain in EV mode only. This was EV mode pictured above.
When the battery is "full" then power generation continues from the wheels, that generated power then goes to the generator/motor that spins up the engine without fuel. The pumping & compression slow you down.
Also if regen alone (32 kW is maximum allowed) cannot maintain constant speed going down a hill, the truck can kick in engine braking even before the HV battery is "full".

I'm sorry you may be confused with stability control.
I'm not confused with anything,,, Perhaps you are,.,,.,.
That's not the coasting '22 icon that was illuminated in my '22 hybrid but does not in my '23, I don't care about it at all, just a difference in the exact 22-23 models. ...
