Rumor Mill: PHEV AWD Maverick (Plug In Hybrid)

[AzCactusGray]

First off... Love love love our Lux Lariat Hybrid. Ok, I say "our" it is hers, which was not the original plan... Wifes 2019 Lexus RX350 was sent down the road. I never imagined she would trade the Lexus for the Maverick. The Maverick was to be my work truck! (The Lexus RX350 is a great SUV, highly recommend btw... ) Where I am going with this is: if the rumors are true (assorted relible web sites w/pics suggest they are) and Ford is working on a AWD PHEV Maverick... The day it is available to order I will be all over that and we will be a two Maverick household.

You got my attention! Available in the great white north maybe too? Aka Canuckistahn? We wish….phev would be nice

Highly unlikely, but you’ll know more in August. Maverick is a hit because of the low cost starting price point and utility - heck it was just a perfect storm with the market highs going on too and low availability for all manufacturers… I myself don’t believe they’re going to be making many changes for the first year or so, especially to hurt the cost strategy. But it’s only my opinion

I think the soonest we MIGHT see such a thing would be at the model refresh timing in a couple years, best case. More likely at FMC timing, if at all.

But yeah, I would be all over that as well.

 

[JohnnyBravo]

very likely actually. If you know, you know.

 

[Grunkster]

very likely for 2023?!

 

[Decayed]

we will know more in august I guess!

PHEV AWD would be awesome. AWD hybrid would be awesome. But I really doubt that either will be MY2023, maybe '24 more likely '25.

I plan on ordering in August and already told my dealer that PHEV or hybrid AWD would be my preference. He thought I was joking...........

I heard from a reliable source that they will have a 4x4 Hybrid by 2024. Not sure about a PHEV.

Honestly the whole Maverick development process has been really fast considering. I beleive Ford even admitted as much. I think they realize the potential for earnings and want to spend as little time as possible making the truck we all want, then they can have us addicted and empty our wallets with trim upgrades.

who is "we all" exactly? The XL ECO AWD Maverick is EXACTLY the truck I want right now. No use now or ever for anything EV in any of my vehicles. At most I would consider an EV crate motor swap in my Grand Cherokee down the road if they take away my ICE vehicles.

If a PHEV version comes out, it's an instant order for me. Simple as that.
Been happy with my XL Hybrid. Enough that I'll be going with a Lariat trim this time around.

Curious why not? Not trying to start an argument, I am considering an EV for our next vehicle (after the Maverick) and would like to see what people's objections to EVs are. Obviously not for everybody, at least not right now.

Ok, so... you needed to say this why?

My thoughts are that the Maverick XL (Eco or Hybrid) is the perfect base for individuals to start building THEIR version on the perfect vehicle for their wants/needs. Packages and other addons will make this happen, kind of ala cart.
