yeah, it's not like anything is mechanically connected anymore. It's all "drive by wire". Is the brake pedal connected to a plunger on the Maverick, or is that also electronic?
It's 100% electronic with mechanical backup . When you press the brake pedal, you are pressing a simulator. You're not physically pressing the master cylinder unless the electrical system TOTALLY fails.
May not be a “drastic” difference, but you can definitely feel the difference between normal and sport. It’s like regular 911 to Turbo S in the push of a button.
When I first tried Eco mode in my 2.0EB, the sensation was weird and made me think of the truck having a head cold. Switched back to Normal and all was well. Don't need my truck feeling like it's on Benadryl, but it was interesting because on my 2016 CR-V I don't feel near as dramatic a change in Honda's Eco mode as with the Mav.
I find it REALLY odd that people don't pay attention to the significant differences between hybrid and ecoboost.
In FWD Hybrid the computer adjusts for less aggressive actions. Not sure but most likely single wheel braking for any slipping actions. The less aggressive regen braking which happens only on front will be coordinated with the rear and acceleration happens only on front where most of vehicle weight is.
In the hybrid, slippery mode makes the engine lethargic. I think that's where any of the savings come from. To me it feels even more anemic than the economy mode. I'm also thinking that even in slippery mode the rear drive doesn't engage after the initial takeoff until a bit of skip is detected.
Aaarrrggghhh, matey now we can think about thinking thinkers, perhaps those that have hybrids can be rethinkers?And the award for the most people who overthink everything goes to members of the Maverick Truck Club.
Yeah, but just remember whatever forum you’re in on the Internet… if it’s there to talk about …someone’s gonna overthink it.And the award for the most people who overthink everything goes to members of the Maverick Truck Club.
