Can you select between AWD & 2wd modes? Or is AWD always on?

It is intelligent AWD so the PCM will switch between FWD and AWD when needed. Different drive modes will likely change this behavior and some might lock AWD but I do not believe we have seen any specific details on how the drive modes operate yet.

Ford Intelligent AWD
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is an advanced drivetrain system that is able to monitor hundreds of different pieces of data every second to help improve handling and traction, including:
  • Rate of acceleration
  • Wheel speed
  • Steering wheel angle
  • Accelerator pedal position
Using this information, it is able to send more torque to the rear wheels if it detects bad weather or road conditions, or send all the power to the front wheels in normal driving conditions in order to optimize fuel efficiency.
Some models even come with an Intelligent Display which is able to show you precisely how torque is being distributed between the different wheels.

Is there a Sport mode? If so, that might change the AWD setting too.

Yes, in non fx4 trim
Yeah, I still don't get this. Or know even know if that is final modes. On the Aug 1st Ford Maverick Order Guide it changed to say:
Ford Maverick Is AWD full time always on? 1628379113440

I guess we'll have to wait and see something final to figure it out. Perhaps they heard the initial backlash from FX4 buyers and added it back in. It's all software, so I don't see why they could not switch out the modes.

What’s the source on this? I haven’t seen anything to suggest the fx4 gets a different AWD system, only a few different drive modes.

Wow, a lot of TMI on this thread. No AWD is not 4WD. You can’t select on Ford Maverick AWD.

It is the same 4wd system. The poster asked if it got sport mode. The literature states fx4 gets mud/ruts and sand replace sport and eco, therefore the fx4 does not get sport or eco mode.

The Owners Manual has it with a SPORT mode.

We will have to see when it comes out. The preliminary info shows no sport or eco. There are many errors in the owners manual (ex:shows option of power tailgate). We will have to see when it arrives.
