I think you'll find a bunch of Maverick reviews on YouTube. A real life video is often worth more than a thousand words, as the saying goes. Convinced me to get one.
I have a FWD Hybrid with Michelin X-Ice. It drives very well in the snow. I'm not worried one bit. I have friends who swear they need AWD, but they keep forgetting its FWD and not a RWD pickup.
I have driven both.. If you want a daily with great MPGs, go with Hybrid. If you need to tow more than 2K and some off-roading, stick with EB + tow package.
