No more transmission lug (2024 Maverick EcoBoost)

[Meeka]

I had it done today at dealer, was told I had to deal with it here on MTC. Well, it worked, and the little Mav is peppier too! Not in any other ‘mode’ but normal, haven’t tried tow/haul, slippery, sand or mud/ruts but it doesn’t ‘lug’ around 1500 rpm or under. Happier now. Still walked around lot looking at the Raptor Rangers! Hmmm…

Excellent! I know this has been bothering you, and it would have me as well. My wife daily drives our Mav and I told her not to "pussyfoot it" (she likes when I talk dirty ) when we got it new, hoping that it would learn that strategy. We both drive it like a sports car most of the time, and so far (5K miles) it hasn't shown behavior at all like you've described yours. I hope it works for you.

Thank-you for your kind words. Maybe that was my problem, I babied it until ‘broken in’. But now I’m gonna drive it like a 2.0 litre turbo should be driven.

My 2024 Lariat also lugs a little just before it decides it better downshift.. lol. I use ECO 99.99% of the time as I did on my 20 Escape. Just under 2000 on my new Mav... Just made appointment for 1st oil change for just before I drive south (SC) for Christmas. Will be close to a 2000 mile round trip. Seems on this MAV that 8th gear may be higher than the 8 speed that was in my Escape... Was on the interstate last night, cruse at 73, and the engine was just under 2000 rpms, which is lower than I remember on the Escape. Best mileage I have had so far is upper 28's, but still breaking in the motor.

I have a 2024 XLT with 2.0 Ecoboost, just turned 5,000 miles. I took the truck in to the dealer for service and told them it lugged at low rpm around 25-30 mph, shifted into high gear too soon and had to really step on the gas to get it to downshift. They drove it, and a couple similar trucks and said they were all the same, that it was normal. Anyway, doesn't feel normal to me. Is there a learning process I should put this through to solve the problem? If not how did others resolve it at their dealer (is there something I should tell my dealer). This is the only disappointment I have with this truck (and the fact that there is no way to manually shift the auto transmission).

So far my 2024 awd eco shifts perfectly with only 187 miles on the odo.

You can clear the adaptive learning with Forscan.
