These new truck beds are so short, though. I wish it was a foot or more longer.
Atkinson closes the intake valve late giving better expansion ratio than regular Otto cycle
Ford advertises 40 miles per gallon with a are hybrid
Once again scotty is rambling but not telling you how to diagnose a transmission while driving
Your engine can turn on and get power but cannot shift gears if the transmission blows up. And AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS ARE TOO STUPID TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE A SOLID TRANSMISSION GO WITH A V8
If you would have said don't get this hybrid version because it's new and they may not have the bugs worked out I would have bought into that, but for you to just act like hybrid systems are going to cause you to pay through the nose because you haven't educated yourself as to the reliability of hybrid systems it may be time for me to move on.
Try to keep up Scotty. I love your spirit and your heart but stick to the facts.
My dad had a light blue 1970 Maverick. 302 engine, stick. He ordered it new from the dealership. He picked it up a week after I was born. My dad loved that car. Every time I hear 'Maverick', I think of my dad. I miss him greatly.
I've had mine on August and it's great. I'm not a truck person and I'm not pretended to be either. I was looking for a Honda Civic as a second car for me and my family of 4 (two kids 4 and 5 yo) and I came across with these truck. They cost the same and I get so much more practicality with the Maverick. Now I'm enjoying going to the beach and no care that much how much sand gets in the car because I use the bed. Also I can take the family to the park and take the bikes, scooters and even the battery car of my son. The bed may not be enough for working but it's perfect for recreation and family trips. It's great.
Did you happen to see what the difference in markups where by you for both the civic and maverick? I'm genuinely curious.
Wait until those intake valves carbon and gum up on you. Then you're really going to have fun! 😆
@@WeeDisMySavior Yes. I literally saw people paying more than 10k markup for Mavericks and the waiting list were from 7 month to a year. Regarding Civic, dealerships asked me between 4 and 6k but waiting 4 to 6 month. Didn't care because I've made an order for the Maverick and I waited, they just had to sell it to me at MSRP price (Waited 10 month)
@@justacinnamonbun8658 It's a gamble I guess. I'll try to take good care so nothing bad happen. However, thanks for the heads up and the good vibes...
@@facundorodriguez361 It's not a gamble, you're going to have carbon buildup issues on those intake valves and it's going to cause hard starting and hesitation on acceleration. Get yourself a catch can, that will help buy you time. These engines are unfinished as far as I'm concerned, most manufacturers are adding in MPI to the fuel delivery to prevent this from happening. You don't just gamble $20k or $30k or $40k away like that, you need to know what you're spending your money on.
I have had my Ford maverick since August. I have a little over 11,000 miles on it. I have every option except for the sunroof. In September we bought a trailer (opus op lite) and drove from Ohio to Maryland to Colorado back to Ohio. I had absolutely no problem with it and was able to get 17 1/2 miles to the gallon traveling 80 to 85 miles an hour. I would buy another one in a heartbeat.
I would be pissed if you managed to get another. STILL can’t even get one. The ones they sell at dealerships go for $10,000 - $15,000 more😂
Good to know. I'm also always glad to support Mexico. Anything good for Mexico helps the US as well.
@@edward6749 Yep. I am sitting tight until this crap stops. I still have my 2 door '97 Ranger. Would keep that anyway, but I would get the new one to schlep around town in (way better mileage).
@Edward Sorry Edward, I have 2 that I show on my channel, ordered summer 2021 way before the long line. Don't pay ADM, it will take a while but order a 2024MY at msrp this fall and wait. It is hard but worth the wait. Ask any questions.
You're pulling a trailer, in Colorado, at 85mph???
I’ve owned a Fusion Hybrid which I bought new in 2016, made at the same plant in Mexico, and it’s still running great. No reason to fear a vehicle made south of the border.
Mexico makes good cars
Came here to say the same thing. Mexico is quality.
Thank you Scotty for confirming my thoughts. This is the same truck I found for my Dad. It is a great truck. He is really happy with his purchase and so am I . You provide a great deal of information. You even helped solve an issue with a 2010 Honda CRV burning oil by informing us about the piston rings being faulty. Thanks a million. You are a great guy. Thanks for all of you help. I love your enthusiasm and love for vehicles.
Don’t go with the eco boost if you don’t have to. This type of hybrid system is the most reliable type of power train on the road. It was modeled after the Toyota Prius Prius with the eCVT which has no gears and last a very a long time. Hybrids tend to be more reliable than standard ICE setups.
yeah a lot of people don't realize this. Prius' commonly run for 200k+ miles without any issues.
@@Anchor7 my Prius is almost up to 200k and my ecoboost blew at 54k
I've had my maverick for 7 months now and i absolutely love it. I got every option possible, (Lariat, Sunroof, AWD, Heated Seats, 2.0 Eco-boost) and it ended up being just over 40k
I only get 20 mpg but that's because i am always stepping on it, it's AWD, and i have it loaded with tools, electric scooter, and biking equipment and the traffic in miami is horrible.
I have around 11k miles on it and it's been perfect.
I change the oil every 5k miles like scotty says.
Nice!! I ordered a 23 and I’m waiting. Just like yours, EB lariat, sunroom fx4 and 4K tow. Hoping to get it soon. I originally wanted the hybrid for the Miami traffic but with all the issues hybrid is coming with I decided to make the jump.
Where did you get yours from? I went up to broward and got it at sawgrass ford
“Only 20 mpg” 😂
I enjoy reading real owner testimonials such as yours, as a EcoBoost AWD Maverick w/Tow Pkg may be something I consider to eventually replace my current “small work truck”.
I’ve a ‘08 Sport Trac 4WD with the 4.6L and 121k miles, and am lucky to get 15 mpg babying it, usually closer to 11-12 mpg average. Great little truck for working on my property up in rural Ohio consisting of 5+ acres with woods, partially separated by a creek that has a small bridge to access the back half (bridge is too narrow for a full-size truck, and creek’s approach/departure angles are too steep to traverse). I don’t tow anything heavier than about 3k so the Maverick Tow Pkg could handle that, and the Trac’s main duties consist of dragging fallen trees and transporting rocks/gravel/dirt/stumps/miscellaneous heavy stuff in the bed throughout the year, whether perfect conditions or snow and ice. Sounds like the Maverick could easily handle what I deal with!
@BlackCloud0351 Wow a Sport Trac! Those are more rare than the Mavericks I show on my channel.
I have a 22 maverick awd 4k tow and I get 25 mpg. My beds pretty empty most of the time, I also have a hard bed cover, some say those improve mpg slightly
I agree with this review. I took delivery of my XLT with the 2 liter turbo engine about 6 weeks ago. Had to wait 10 months for my order to be built but it was worth the wait! I love my Maverick!
Is the turbo engine the same engine this guy is talking about?
After 17 months, I finally got my velocity blue XLT Hybrid in November. I’ve enjoyed it a lot!
ʟᴇᴛ'ꜱ ᴛᴀʟᴋ (ᴠᴇʀʏ ɪᴍᴘᴏʀᴛᴀɴᴛ)🖕🎁🎄.......
My grandfather had a used Ford Maverick. I think it was 1971 era. He liked it as a daily driver.
“GM puts a 2.7L turbo in a full-size trunk what junk!”
“I would recommend going with the 2.0L ecoboost than the hybrid. The turbo technology is well proven.”
Man what gives Scotty! I would love to bring you my gen1 2.7 turbo Sierra SLE. 60k miles and it has been incredible to me so far.
Great content as always,
I'm a "real truck" guy but for the purpose the maverick is built for it's awesome, having worked on and driven them I have completely changed my opinion of them. if I lived in the city I'd have one of these 100%
Had my 2.0 for about a month now. Ordered it a year so it’s hard to live up to a years worth of anticipation but I gotta say, so far I love it.
Great review Scotty! I ordered a '23 XLT Ecoboost AWD with off-road and Tow packages. Should be here beginning of Feb. Totally agree with staying away from the hybrid until they get them figured out better. Maintenance is crucial on anything if you want it to last.
Well most that have the hybrid are getting at least 40 mpg the regular at 26 mpg so at 13 K miles a year and at 3.20 a gallon you save about 1000 dollar in gas each year 10 year 10 grand saving . Oh the gas engine in 2023 now same price as hybrid .It was only the 2022 that the gas cost more. BUT my research on the direct injection 2.0 I see many talking about excess carbon build up on the valves some saying they need to be cleaned after 60 K miles. The 2.5 hybrid is port injection no carbon build up.
I wouldn't worry about the hybrid reliability. I think its the one to get in these for sure
I've looked at the used parts pricing for my 2nd gen Ford hybrid's critical parts. Surprisingly cheap & easy to access & change.
Okay but wouldn't 10 years be the time to replace the hybrid batteries? How much would that cost in 10 years?
Yes potential 10k fuel savings on the hybrid but some people pay +10k ADM. That makes no sense.
Order a 2024MY this fall from a dealer that charges msrp they are out there. The Mav only videos on my channel can help you learn more. Ask any questions.
For 29,000 you can get a brand new SR5 Tacoma with a four-cylinder that doesn’t have a turbo and will last 300,000 + miles
I was going to order one but I bought a 2022 Bronco Sport Badlands with the 2.0 instead. I absolutely love it…my wife loved it so well…we bought her one too. Plus, I work for Ford. Nice to hear Scotty talk about the 2.0.
Ive had mine for 4 months and 8,000km first oil change at 4,000km great little truck, pulled just over 4k no problem and ive had 1500lbs in the bed. More and more people are putting big miles on these and fingers crossed so far so good. I'm changing the oil this week at 8,000km then every 5k after also going to change the trans, rear diff and transfer case early.
Toyota (and even Ford) hybrids are among *THE* most reliable drive trains available. Surprising comments...
Never been a Ford guy growing up but I’ve had better luck with Ford over GM. Currently have a Flex w/ 198k runs great, 91 Taurus, trans just died. Passed 06 escape ran perfect, 97 ranger w/ 220k ended up giving it away. All my GM’s had issue….except my old 90 cavalier that was give to me it had 325k on it when I gave it away. Had a GMC S15 that ran pretty good as well. But honestly my Fords have been better. Really liking that new Bronco, but I don’t have 70 G’s 😂
Ford is the American Toyota. They've had / have some lemons too, but overall they're excellent vehicles. I'd stay way from anything "hybrid" or "EV", though.
I've always had good fords. Honda is my favorite though. My wife had an orange 09 hlnda fit 5 spd sport.. we loved it..exellent little car.. but she sold it around 205k miles because she wanted something bigger and 4wd , she has a 14 escape titanium with the 2.0 ecoboost, she loves it, it's nice. Only has 117k on it, but she got it used with a 3 yr 36k mile warranty that covers the motor,turbo, tranny and drivetrain, down to the va the valve cover gasket....so far, so good. Wait till the bronco has been out awhile..get one used. It's not smart to buy new anyways. Especially a new model
My wifes 2015 Escape Titanium with the 2.0 had a bad transmission and turbo at 80000 miles. The engine I will say has been fine. Been a Ford guy my whole life but Ill never buy another newer Ford. The old ones I will still buy. Got a 97 Town Car with 272000 that still runs great. All my newer cars from now on will be Toyota or Subaru.
Thanks for posting no matter what you order I've been waiting over a year for mine hybrid so far nothing
Scotty? I thought you didn't like turbos? I loved the picture with the Maverick. My first car was a Pinto. I passed on the Maverick because I saved a couple hundred dollars. Lol
I had about six pintos and two Mavericks back in the 80s fun cars
Like Scotty I don't say things to make people feel good but I Must say, Scotty is the very best at explaining everything in all of TH-cam.. He makes me Laugh... I know nothing about fixing cars but he is right.Change Oil every 5 thousand miles where I come
Love my Maverick so much! Got an XLT with AWD in the nice dark alto blue color, and it does all the truck stuff I could ever need to. Rides awesome too!
Me too! w/Lux package, tow pack and bed liner. Had to have trans seal replaced at 1st oil change. Hoping that was a fluke.
Me three. Just picked up my 22 hot pepper 2.0T AWD. Freaking love this thing. 2nd day of ownership and I already used the bed.
@@jameswatkins5191 Wow !! That sucks .
same except mines black and it does do all the truck stuff i need it to do, It also pulled a chevy malibu with dolly just over 4k thats midsize truck territory.
I love the Mav so much I bought 2 that I show on my channel.
Thanks 4 the nostalgia on that maverick, that was my 1st car in 73. I just turned my Mom's 02 mustang into a hybrid, she's got a 3.8 V 6 in the frt & my 350watt E-scooter in the trunk. When I get to my major destination, I pull out the scooter to putz maybe 3/4 mile circumference to do small errands. Nice to have back-up plan & save gas to.😉✌️
My Toyota Highlander start/stop doesn't engage unless you put more pressure on the brake pedal. Good design 👌
I can do the same with my Ford but just prefer to shut start/stop off.
They're all like that. I have a Kia and does it too, the software needs to know that you're seriously coming to a dead stop before activating.
Surprised to hear Scotty say plain simple engine, about a turbo engine with the high pressure fuel system in it.
He forgot the other 976 videos he made stating small turbo gdi engines are not good and don’t last.
@@wolfeadventures Its true. But even ICE's that have gdi & turbos are more reliable than hybrids & these electric cars in the long run. There are very few Naturally aspirated options left and if you have to choose between an ecoboost, a hybrid, & an electric car, the ecoboost is going to be the more reliable option and easier to work on. Still a hassle. But its the lesser of 3 evils. So I can see Scotty's point.
Not true and at that point any person with near 3digit iq could put a different trans in it
@@EagleXYZLibertarianForChrist broadly or are you talking about on a specific model ? Got any evidence for that claim? I’ve seen the Ford Fusion hybrid cost of ownership to be lower than the eco boost in some consumer data surveys , so I would be curious to see data saying otherwise and what models are being cross analyzed
@@jfjf-yn6wj
I am speaking broadly. But as someone who worked maint & light repair at a Ford dealership, those hybrids & electric cars do have problems in the long run. They can be decent vehicles (the hybrid) & I have seen Ford's hybrids do alright (They are Toyota powertrains).
A problem is getting people who know how to work on them. At the dealer I worked at we had some very good techs, but even they were brought to their limits either taking too long to fix the issue, or it couldn't be solved. If you buy a vehicle where no one is going to be able to fix any potential problems you're going to have, then do you really want to deal with that? Parasitic draws are some of the more prominent problems that hybrids & electric cars can have & they are a major pain to diag.
Don't get be wrong, the ecoboost certainly does have its problems & I tell people to be very meticulous when maintaining their vehicle. They are problem childs. But the alterative isn't going to do you any better unless you do a lot of city driving. Then you may have more of an advantage with a hybrid. Personally, I drive naturally aspirated.
I don’t think I’ll ever forget the time they told me to jack this maverick from the rear axle and I said what axle and they came over and couldn’t believe it had no rear axle
Very good review,if we were to get my husband a pick up,this would be it ! Love your recommendations,we keep cars a long time so the simpler the better .
That's good that it rides like a car because trucks are becoming the family hauler instead of sedans
nissan trucks japan made ford scammers scams scam
@fosterpainter I can find a truck less than this.
A maverick in my area goes for around 40k and that's the xlt with a couple thousand miles on the dash already, the one with the hubcaps bottom of the line is around 37k
It's freaking ridiculous man.
I want it for the gas mileage I drive about 140 miles a day for work and I'm not a car person
My Maverick rides a little truckish compared to my wife's Ford Edge. But put a couple hundred pounds in the bed or carry passengers and it rides like a good mid sized car. I like that it is a 5 passenger car that can do occasional light truck duties.
Love you Scotty but I have to disagree with respect to the engine choice. The Hrbrid drivetrain is the same as the Escape Hybrid. The Escape Hybrids have been used as Taxis in many large cities Cross the Nation and many have over 350,000 trouble free Miles on them.
Also, you have said many times in the past that the Ecoboost engines are crap. GDI with a Turbo a dangerous Combination.
I agree. I got the hybrid for this same reason. Many examples of hybrids exceeding their petroleum only counterparts
my sister purchased a fully loaded pre-owned '10 Fusion in 2011, she passed it down to me when i started driving. in those 11 years only the throttle body and steering angle sensor have gone out and my car was assembled in Hermosillo, Mexico , the same plant that currently makes these Mavericks and Bronco Sports after Fusion production stopped, so these trucks may hold up well. The 2.5l engine in mine was bulletproof.

I've had my 22 maverick FX4 gasser for 2 1/2 years now. Love it. Yeah, many silly electronic recalls. Last one was done this morning. But it has been dead nuts mechanically reliable for me. Great combo of utility, power and economy and very smooth running. I get 27 in mixed driving and over 33 hiway. Granted, I am the old guy in the right lane doing the speed limit. But its perfect for my needs.
I bought a maverick hybrid! I bought it for gas mileage and for my granddaughter’s graduation. I drove it for 1200 miles and it averaged about 38 mpg. It runs great and I hope it last her for several years. The start stop is just a button away and isn’t a problem! My F150 is the same way. You can get a extended warranty on the gas engine but not on the hybrid engine!
Hybrid MOTOR I would not worry. My $17 Lasko 20 inch box fan has been on for 4 years straight.
The hybrid does not have a start/stop button.
I would totally go with the hybrid, especially if you do city/suburban driving. Consumer Reports rates it at 37 mpg overall compared to 23 for the turbo. Plus, Ford has been building good hybrids for a very long time, I’ve heard mixed reviews on their turbos.
Hybrid cars are OK for city driving and Uber, but as a vehicle that does lots of highway driving, it's not worth it
I have one and if you live in the city it's definitely worth it. I've had mine for awhile now and getting 51 mpg. I don't know where they get 37 from. My friend also has one and he gets 42 mpg, but drives like a crazy person 🤣
In a sedan where they can get 40mpg, there's not much reason to get a hybrid just to get another 10mpg, but in these Maverick's where you can go from 25mpg to 40 or 45mpg, there's no reason not to go hybrid if you do enough urban driving.
And for northern salt states, no vehicle is going to last longer than 15 years anyway.
Most people with turbo engines don't change oil frequently, 5k miles is most you should go till next oil change, but if you go by the oil reminder light you'll change oil pass 10k miles, do that couple of times and your engine is worn out at 70k miles.
@@wojtekspc True. Keep your turbo clean, and it will last the life of the engine. Change it every 5k with good synthetic.
The Prius has an Atkinson cycle engine. They last forever. When I ran a shop, I could buy an A1 used Prius engine from a wrecked car for $150, because about 100 Priuses go to the junkyard for crash damage for every one of them that has a mechanical failure. Compare that to a conventional engine in an F150. Most of those are in the junkyard because the engine died.
Scotty watch Daniel Deliverz TH-cam channel on maverick transmission failure , and other comments on coolant problems , was said they flooded with these in the shop . Love your channel. Best channel on any service ! Your the best !
Did Scotty just recommend a four cylinder with a Turbo? 🤯
Scotty recommends a turbo engine over the normally-aspirated one. Never thought I would see that.
ʟᴇᴛ'ꜱ ᴛᴀʟᴋ (ᴠᴇʀʏ ɪᴍᴘᴏʀᴛᴀɴᴛ)🖕🎁🎄.......
Great video! I really wish they had named them the Ranchero. My great-grandfather had a '60's model Ranchero, and it was a great vehicle.
Thanks so much for pointing out the noisy engine , I wasn’t sure why it wasn’t super smooth! Hey if you want to see a AWD model I have one and live south of Nashville , reach out if your interested!
My mother had a 1970's vintage Ford Maverick passenger car with a V8 (I don't remember what size engine but I think it was a 302 cu. in.)
If this were a standard NA engine I'd agree with choosing it over the hybrid for reliability, however they put a turbo on it so it's a wash IMO. The increased resale value of the hybrid makes up it.
I'm getting a hybrid for the fuel economy. all that saved money on gas could afford a new hybrid battery.
It’s as if Ford asked Scotty to push the Eco since everyone was wanting the hybrid. Waiting on Toyota to make one asap
I was able to get an XL with just the tow package and it was for msrp. 18k miles with 0 problems and averaging 51 mpg (I've never reset the mpg). It pulls my 21' boat perfectly fine.
I'm weird and love the simple look of the XL over the XLT and really like the silver steelies.
I dig your You Tube name, that is all.
51 mpg with turbo or hybrid? I thought tow package is for turbo
@@markeasley6149 the hybrid, you can get the tow hitch with 4 pin connector on the hybrid. If I remember correctly it's only $100
@@lordcorgi6481 that's not the "Tow Package" just a hitch. Tell ppl you got the Hybrid.
51MPG in your dreams.
The idea for start and stop was to turn off your engine at a traffic light to save gas, but it doesn't really save much gas.
Everyone I’ve ever known, including myself, simply turns it off as soon as I get in my truck. It’s not really a big deal
Gimmicky
Actually, the idea behind auto stop-start is emissions reduction; saving fuel is a by-product.
All that matters to Ford is that start-stop technology gets good numbers on the EPA dynamometer.
I bought a programmer to disable the start/stop, best purchase ever. No more having to push the button every time. Just don't tell your wife the real reason you bought it, 60hp increase!!
My parents had a Ford Maverick pickup in the 1970's. They were a little confused when I said I ordered a 2023 Ford Maverick knowing that I've driven a pickup truck for the past 30 years. I ordered it last Fall and still waiting. I went with all the bells and whistles including the AWD Ecoboost, Lariat trim, and 4,000 pound tow package. I'm pretty excited to trade in my old Ford F150 for it as I haven't driven a small pickup since my 1991 Chevy S-10 long bed.
My wife has a 14 escape titanium.. it has the start stop crap...it has the option to turn it off once. And it stays off till you press the button again. It was off when she got it.which made me feel good about how it was taken care of before she got it
It’s such a shame they won’t put a manual gearbox in it. Man I bet it’d be a hoot in this vehicle!
i agree !!! that would be GoooooooD!!!!!!!!
So Scotty’s OK with the turbo charger now that it is the lesser of two evils… 😂
And Gdi
I've had my "22 XL Ecoboost AWD Maverick for a year now, 28000 miles on this truck and love everything about it !!! Fantastic bang for the buck! Do yourself a favor, order an XL and then build it up like you want over time. You'll get it quicker.
Scotty, thank you for your many reviews. The information helps immensely. Would you mind pointing out, when you go over the instrument panels of cars and trucks, if an auxiliary port is included. I personally don’t use the Bluetooth and Wireless capabilities in my vehicles. Thanks.
I test drove one last year. I was surprised with how roomy it was. I'm 6'3" and had no issues at all.
Good to see the return of the small pickups. It's inexpensive, good on gas and drives like a car. If you did choose the hybrid, 40+ MPG!⛽️But, time will tell, if the hybrid drivetrain will hold up. All in all, good job, Ford👍
My brother has his 22 xlt awd with the copilot package n all terrain tires. And coming from always driving big 15ft+ vehicles and full size trucks. It actually quite nice that is making me considering purchasing one for myself because of the times I’ve driven it

In Canada, the 2 Litre Turbo is only available with AWD .Gets the advertised EPA fuel mileage on the Highway. Great " Car Truck " and is very smooth riding. I have the XLT with the FX4.
Happy new years Scotty. Scrathched our 2019 Tiguan during the blizzard and I am shopping around small independent autoshops before getting it fixed
You’re still in pretty good shape Scotty. 💪
Scotty, You're the Best!! Happy New Year!! ❤️🌿
Regarding start stop systems, I've heard that on some cars, when you get a new battery (or disconnect the current one for a few mins) it asks you if it is start/stop capable and if you say no it turns it off for good. (or until you get another battery anyways)
I wish Toyota would have a truck like this.
They could bring the hilux name back to the US as a truck like this

Rav4?
Scotty my first car was a 1970 Ford Maverick with a 6 cyl with 3 on the tree.
Can't beat the hybrid man. Take it from a Prius owner. The engines simply don't work as hard. They're usually Atkinson and use regular gas and the batteries usually last for 200-300k miles as long as they're kept cool. In a Prius that just means cleaning the battery cooling vents. Now having said that. Getting the hybrid maverick is virtually impossible. 75% of their orders are for the hybrid and they're only making 35% they're really trying to get people to switch their orders but I only wanted the cheapest version. I wanted to go through the door under 25k
Nice work on the video. I have an XLT on order, blackout package and it has a 2.0 eco-boost engine. Hopefully I’ll have it in a couple more months. can’t wait to drive it
Nice choice on the BAP Derek. I have a 2022 AWD I show on my channel. Ask any questions.
too bad the BAP is so back ordered you will get a 2025 model
But the non-hybrid Maverick has direct-injection & turbo-charged engine, isn't that a disaster as you mentioned previously?
Yes, he never mentioned that at 60k miles or so, the truck will start to have driveability issues related to carboned up intake valves. This was engineered as a throw away truck, as most people will get rid of it well before 100k miles when it starts to have issues. While Honda and Toyota owners still breaking in their trucks at 100k miles. 😆
And isn't it an Atkinson cycle engine that's used in Scotty's beloved, last for ever Toyotas.
@@justacinnamonbun8658 so basically they made a turd.
@@justacinnamonbun8658 Re the turbo > religiously change the oil AND filter every 5,000, NO MORE! >> no problems.
Direct Injection > Fuel injector cleaner every 5,000 miles
@@289hipo Doesn't work that way.
I was taught by parents of friends, Uncles, & cousins from my late teens when I first was thinking of buying a new vehicle...always adhere to the K.I.S.S. principle - Keep It Simple Stupid !!! LOL Lot less headaches and lower repair (if any) bills. Thanks Scotty for these informative videos !
Yup. Much better off with a base model non turbo car, especially with a manual transmission.
@@camarokurt The transmissions are super simple in the hybrids. Weber Auto has full disassembly on their channel. The hybrids are less complicated than they sound and have easy access to the critical parts if they should have a problem. The parts prices are totally fine too.
I didn’t preorder a Maverick because Scotty said to wait till the new technology was proven.
I went shopping for one. The SoCal dealership added $5k to the price. When I told the salesman I wouldn’t pay the extra he said “I guess we’re done here.” And walked away saying, “We know other people will pay it.”
Former Ford tech here; couple things. Toward the beginning of the video, the comments about the longevity of the technology from the Ecoboost to the Atkinson Hybrid are backwards honestly, at least from a Ford perspective. The 2.5 atk is a Duratec from 2010 with different cam profiles and VCT strategy, and the hybrid drive unit is fairly unchanged from the Gen II units from first gen Fusions/Escapes. The 2.0 ecoboost is both a newer platform, and in my experience more tedious and expensive to work on from a parts perspective. I mean, the 2.5atk has zero front drive accessories and is still Port Injected lol
Also book time on the head gasket is lower for the Hybrid by about 2 hours.
Wow thanks Charles! The most honest and knowledgeable review on TH-cam. You should post videos I will sub.
At 2 trucks for the price of one full size, I bought one of each I show on my channel. I use the hybrid for city mpg and summer road trips. I use the turbo AWD for snow and light off road. Spread the miles they will last twice as long.
It’s so funny to me how misunderstood this car is by avid truck lovers.
This is not a truck for people who want a truck, it’s a truck for those who don’t want a truck. That’s the demographic Ford was aiming to appeal to with this car. Personally, I don’t want a large vehicle, but this truck is appealing to me, hence why I bought one. If I ever need a truck bed, I have a 4.5 foot bed, or 6ft bed with the lift-gate down, with numerous tie downs, so there’s plenty you can do with the bed. I also got the 4k Towing Package, so I can tow certain things if I need to. I got the 2L Ecoboost with AWD, which is great for Michigan winters, and I actually get decent gas mileage.
It’s essentially the perfect car for me, and I think of it more like an SUV with a truck bed, because that’s essentially what it is. There’s a huge market for this vehicle, and it’s not aimed towards those who already own large trucks, it’s aimed at people who drive Sedans, SUVs, etc, who don’t want a huge truck, but might want some of the utility that comes with one.
It’s more of a crossover with a truck bed, which is different and kinda cool.
I want a compact truck with good mpg to haul hay. I think I could carry all I need with this truck.
The first character in the VIN (3 in this case) says it is made in Mexico.
I too have the 1970 Maverick as my first car. I sold it at 120k and origonal Transmission and engine
Great video only thing is the maverick only has the ability to tow 2,000lbs unless you get awd and the 4K tow package option
Dam, Scotty has the same haircut from the 60's.
What a beaut!
@@2321Chargers Lol, he looks amazing then and now.
70s....Maverick wasn't built until 70 and that one looked used....looked like my 1970 with ZERO options and 3 on the tree.
been driving the hybrid Mav for work. Been very impressed with it. Getting 42 to 45 MPG with it and it drives very well. Plus I am 6' 7 and have room in it. Would consider buying one
You have to do a tune on these! I have a 2022 bronco sport badlands, 2.0l 36 mpg with the tune. Downside is you have to buy 90 octane + . But performance really wakes up as well
I usually agree with Scotty, but not in this case. He is way off base about choosing a ford turbo 4 over the hybrid. The escape hybrids for the large part have been better than the turbo engines. Most people also see the E-cvt and immediately think it is a cvt (like Nissan). Do some research people.
Someone has already commented about the escape hybrids that have been used as taxis. They have a ton of miles on them.
Ford in general has had a ton of reliability issues the last few years. I am hopeful that they can get it turned around, because I prefer ford out of the big 3.
Look at young Scotty! Love it
The 2.0 Ecoboost with the 8 speed is actually quick and efficient at the same time. Interesting part is mine skips second gear and goes to third. The reason is second is approx 3.30 and third is 3.01. Too close to be usable and I find only way to use second is to do a second gear start.
My wife has a 14 escape titanium with the 2.0 ecoboost. It's quick when you need it to be, it's nice .she loves it
I had mine now for 8 months and have 7700 miles now, I have the AWD 2.0 with the 4k tow package, getting 31mpg 85 percent highway. The snow and ice problems we're having here in northern Idaho this winter is redic, but never an issue with AWD, gonna get rid of my 2005 Chevy trailblazer with 4 wheel drive, the Ford Maverick doesn't spin a tire, but the Chevy ...🥲...

You're a hoot Scotty, Love the memes you throw in. 🤣Happy New Year to you and your family, stay safe!
Great review Scotty. My neighbor ordered a 2022 Maverick hybrid and waited 9 months ro get it. He was surprised that his base model did not come with cruise control. It's a nice vehicle and similar to my 2009 Adrenalin Sport Trac in size and style. But I prefer my V8 and 6900 lb towing capacity on my 4 wheel drive.
If they made this in a stick shift, it would be EPIC and an instant buy for me.
Hard to get any stick. I think they even dropped it on the Frontier. Too bad, manual transmissions typically outlast the vehicle. Automatics usually put a vehicle in the auction barn or junkyard.
Same! Imagine a single cab 6 speed!
@@mediocrefloridaman I'd like the crew cab config but yeah, that'd be cool too!
I wish for a 2 door cab with stick.
@@mediocrefloridaman that’s how I will buy one. Forget the rear seat. I want the bed space. That 4’ bed is a joke 🤣. Big enough to carry groceries and potting soil
No body knew how to work on the first engine but they figured it out.

Yes, keep it simple, (so where are the crank windows?), the Hybrid is the Base? What I would had liked to see on this one would be a 2 door version with a small package shelf, I only use the back seat for packages anyway. the small pickup (S-10, 80's-90's Ranger, Original Tacoma) was functional and affordable, so I often wonder why it disappeared. Thanks for your opinion & review, never purchased new, (I only drive 5-10K a year now if that) but a vehicle I may consider used if they hold up.
I have etorque in my Ram 1500 5.7 hemi which uses a belt to restart the engine. Its like a mini super charger in a way
Traditional 8 speed auto trans.Scotty don't think you mentioned.Thumbs up today !
Only with the turbo right? The 2.5 has the cvt I believe, so choose your poison.
I agree with you Scotty about start / stop technology!
This was the truck that made top marks in consumer reports this year. Both this one and the hybrid (which they had in first place) and then the ridgeline was 3rd on the list.
Bryan, the Mav has too marks with me too, that is why I bought one of each that I show in videos on my channel.
Thanks for your perspective Scotty! With hybrid you are relying on Ford to make a reliable system. If it is, the gas benefits are great, but any repairs definitely could be a huge hassle. Time will tell.
So far everyone wants hybrids so maybe more mechanics will be able to service them.
Thing is their Hybrids have proven reliable for the past 15 years or so. They cross patented technology with Toyota, what's more reliable than that when it comes to Hybrid vehicles?
That's why there are 300K-400K Hybrid Escapes and Fusions used as taxis.
@@engineer_alv and Prius'
I like it, it's cute!!! hopefully I can get one some day 😆🏈🐘🥰
I have the 2L I4 turbo in my 2020 Ford Edge. Surprisingly quick and quiet. I get about 23MPG overall
The 2.0 Ecoboost engine is very peppy and fun to drive. I have that engine in my 2013 Escape with All Wheel Drive. I currently have 120,000 miles on it with no problems. I change the oil with Penzoil Platinum full synthetic every 5k and it does not use any oil between changes. And no carbon problems because Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W-30 keeps pistons up to 45% cleaner than the toughest industry standard, Another benefit of the AWD is essentially no torque steer, and a more stable ride. The unibody has no squeaks after 10 years. So I am hoping that the Maverick proves to be a solid truck after ten years too.
The base ford maverick is a hybrid. The interesting thing is that the hybrid system design is actually identical to the Toyota hybrids.
Scotty really screwed this one up, direct injection and turbo got a pass.
@@tdgdbs1 They got a pass ONLY because the "hybrid" setup is 10x more horrendous in complexity and long term reliability. Maybe you need to watch the video again?
@@tdgdbs1 I see your point, I considered a hybrid Maverick but they were unavailable so I will stick with what I have.
Ford and Toyota had a partnership about a decade ago working on Hybrids.
@@SevenSixTwo2012 You are so wrong that you even believe what you are saying is true. 10X huh?
show some stats before you say anything more stupid.
I never saw a Maverick pickup coming….but it kinda makes sense.
nissan trucks japan made ford scammers scams scam
Just wish we had a real Ute in states. Toyota has that yellow thing with the large funky roll-bars but I don’t think that counts. If the maverick was just a little lower. It effects mileage too so ugh, frustrating. Clearance is nice but I just want fuel economy.
@Fearsome Warrior it's already low for a pickup and you could lower it yourself if you really want to ruin it.
@@mr.monitor. Lower is better mileage. Utes already proved this. I don’t need the clearance.
@Fearsome Warrior then why are you looking at pickup? Or lower it yourself? It gets 25mpg. If you lower it it's gonna get 25.5 😏
I’ve had my hybrid xl for a year and a half and I love it! No complaints whatsoever, ask me again in 20 years.
I recently test drove both the Hybrid and the 2.0 L eco boost. I saw no difference in acceleration. Of course I was not trying to drag race it. My wife wants the hybrid and I will probably go with that option.
I have the 2.0 Ecoboost in my 17 Focus ST. So much fun to drive. Thing is a beast.
I was sold on one of these until I did a search of eco=boost problems. More like eco junk. go ahead do a youtube search right now. The hybird is probably better in the long haul. Toyota is coming out with a competitor and my advise is to wait for that.
It will be interesting to see what Toyota does for a unibody pickup, but like all Toyota trucks they're not going to get good gas mileage and if they're going to cost as much as a Tacoma and only get 1 or 2 mpg more, there's no reason to choose a Toyota unibody pickup over the Tacoma except ride quality.
