Any changes/updates to the 24MY Maverick?

I find it really anoying that Ford opens the order bank for new orders when there are thousands of orders not filled. What a lousy way to do business!

No. It's not about giving up the 2.5 Hybrid - it would remain at the entry point.

The new 2.0 EcoBoost Hybrid was engineered as a top power option above the 2.0 EcoBoost gas - why it has more horsepower. If Ford were to offer it in a North American Maverick, Escape or Bronco Sport (which is anyone's guess) it would be a top power option above the existing 2.5 HEV/PHEV and the 2.0 EcoBoost.

which makes perfect sense to me, given that the F-150 Powerboost exists, and a few examples of this among competitors, as well.

A turbo and a hybrid is a good combination. Electric motor provides the low end torque and the turbo provides the top end power. Only problem is the higher cost to make them.

weight is the other disadvantage. if it were to add weight and nothing else changed about the truck, surely payload would drop accordingly.

if we're talking about a Maverick Powerboost, where the hybrid is meant for towing, payload and towing capacity matters a lot.

if we're talking about a Maverick ST, I don't like the extra weight but there are plenty of examples of heavy EVs and performance-oriented hybrids that post up pretty incredible performance numbers. so, it could work, possibly. I think it would perform better to have a 2.3 turbo without hybrid.

Yes, but the small 1.1kWh battery of the hybrid is not that heavy. The hybrid is only 111 lbs. more than the FWD EB, and 57 lbs. less than the AWD EB.

And the GCWR for the Hybrid is 110 lbs more than the FWD EB. So you have same towing capacity.

And some of us could afford to lose 57 and/or 111 pounds...

I was just about to argue with you, but then I decided to go look for the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus @Shay referred to with a 2.0L ecoboost and hybrid.

I was thinking surely it doesn't use a CVT, it has to use the 8 speed auto.

But.. no, it does have a CVT. I still think you take a '23 hybrid Maverick and add a few hundred pounds to it for the turbo awd.
