So many posts with misinformation on the eCVT comparing it to a conventional “rubber band” CVT. It’s NOT the same transmission! There have been a number of helpful posts with links to videos with good information on how an eCVT actually works. I wish Ford would change the name. I suggest Electric Planetary Transmission EPT, or Electric Planetary Variable Transmission EPVT.
I liked everything about the Maverick but put off ordering because of the CVT. Then I found out it wasn't the belt and pulls and I jumped on it but, I had to wait over a year and a half and got converted to a '23. Just as well as I don't have any first year issues with it.
By now, the eCVT is widespread and accepted.
