When I spending $90 to fill up my Ram 1500, getting 500 miles on one tiny little tank of gas in the Maverick is a treat!
yep same with my tundra $120 for a full tank. I commute 100 miles total a day to/from work. so im getting one just for work
This is the second mpg review I have seen. I saw a 5000k mile average and it got 47.5mpg.
I just found a base model 180 miles from me for $22,500. I’m going to go buy it this weekend for my wife.
Did you end up buying it? How is it?
@@colejohnston6386 yes we bought it for my wife. It’s the hybrid XL in that blue color. It’s a pretty decent little truck. Things that I will definitely have to improve in the future are, speakers, headlights, heated seat covers. My wife really misses her heated seats that she had in her previous 2012 escape. We also will buy a better set of snow tires for it this fall. Other than those items the truck as a whole is very solid and I’m happy. We put 10k down and got $2000 for our trade. For about 11k it’s an unbeatable value.
@@nickschaps4022 you have to get luxury package for heated seats
@@thisguymartin you apparently didn’t read the comments… I am ADDING heated seats. There are close to a dozen aftermarket options to add heated seats to a vehicle.
5 million miles is alot of miles to put on a truck.
I'm glad to see y'all fit well in the seats and that they are comfortable, nice to see this has both comfort and amazing MPG.
Thank you Tim.
You gave a great review of the Maverick when it first came out and the practicality of it.. The basic hybrid is coming to me hopefully soon. Thanks for your common sense review
Out of all your videos Tim; this was the most fun to watch. If that Maverick came with a Sirius radio; It would be really special. Might get me out of my Hemi Dodge Charger which if I go light on gas pedal easily gets over 30 MPG at 70 MPH. Would be extremely hard to give up the V8 sound though. Thanks for this video.
You are not the only tester to show results like this.
Even saw a guy do over 5k miles (almost entirely city) and he was averaging OVER 47mpg.
I consider this a worthy vehicle of going into debt for! I commute an hour each way for work every day.
It would be great for errands to HD or Tractor Supply for my homestead supplies too. A pallet fits nicely into the bed.
It's crazy that the used mavericks are getting upsold 10k
Wow that’s fantastic news! I have one on order, should be getting it within one year. Lol but it’s going to be worth the wait! I figured it would get close to 50 if you really Super easy on the throttle and kept 55 and below.
Look at adding a Tonneau Cover for a bit more fuel efficiency.
@@Pickuptrucktalk Yep I ordered it from the factory.
Lol 50? Keep dreaming
Love watching your stream
Finally someone who is actually tall in the truck. I'm 6'5" and all the previous tall driver/riders on other video's are 6'0 lol so Thanks!
I just got my XL with the Ecoboost and I'm getting 29.5 mpg. No complaints here.
That is impressive!!!
The length between the front bumper and the rear window of the cab...is nearly identical between the Maverick and the Ranger. Height is lower only because the body is unitized. The very short rear bed is what makes the Maverick a compact, rather than midsize pickup.
My Maverick Lariat Hybrid is getting 39 to 42 Combined at 75 mph hwy, 40 to 55 mph city, 85% hwy, 15% city driving, 84 - 87 miles round trip daily. It has 5700 miles now and this is calculated at the pump! The truck computer is always 1 to 2 mpg off
Nice. and thanks for the info.
I’m calling it, this will be the official working man/woman’s truck, and the savings on fuel will gain them the most contracts and make them the most profit killing anyone stupid enough to use a v8 unnecessarily.
Furthermore heavy rentals market will increase for those special occasions.
A new age of proper equipment for the job is upon us in the 20’s
My MPG tests results today. 126.3 total miles. 1.716 gallons. Truck confuser said 46.9 MPG. Calculator says 73.6 MPG. The calculator gets closer to the confuser only if I subtract out the 44.2 electric miles driven. Then the calculator says 47.8 MPG. The manual says no average MPG is calculated if the gas engine doesn't turn on.
The best truck ever made, if your an average truck driver. A huge percentage of truck owners will never use there truck for anything truck related.
BTW this (trucklet) is the same size as the beloved Toyota Tacoma. So I guess the Taco is also a trucklet😀 This vehicle is IMHO the best vehicle ever made. It really does compare to the Model T.
Incredible MPG
Can't beat a hi bread!!
I have seen tfl review the 4x4 model it was getting 29 still good
Amazing mileage.
A new redesigned Ranger is planned to arrive next year...perhaps with a plugin or hybrid version.
I might have to start hanging out at the Ford Dealership until they give me the XL in the color I want or offer to lower the price on the XLT or Lariat. I just don't need all the "upgrades", I can pay for the extras I want on the XL and still be in for a few thousand less than the XLT with the same add-ons from Ford.
I have been driving in hyper-mile mode for years. I didn’t even know it had a term. I drive in the right lane at 58 to 60 mph in a 65 zone. Number one: fuel economy. Number two: staying out of the way of the crazy people W.O.T. Cutting each other off. My 26 mile commute gets me 27 MPG. My 70 mile commute gets me 40 MPG. IN 2020 when the country close I essential worker commuted and got 45 MPG with open highways ahead of me. I drive a 2018 1.5 civic sport. By the way my 2004 XR650L with contigo street tires would get me 55/58 mpg.
Now we are waiting on a Hot Pepper Red Maverick hybrid XLT with Lux packages and Copilot 360. I suspect it may turn into a 2023 order. I’m looking forward to hyper miling.
Fyi, studies show that driving slower causes more accidents. Even in the right lane because you're still causing everyone in he right lane to change lanes, causing a domino affect. Just go the speed limit.
Ordered mine in October.......anytime!
Ford won't be able to build enough of these to keep up with demand IMO.
They already can’t.
Ford builds 17.4 F150s for every maverick per month. Ford F-150's are their high profit margin vehicle, the maverick is to boost fleet fuel economy so they won't build more than they have to.
I agree dumbduck. I have thought for years that a great mpg small truck was a huge need in the marketplace. I've also thought the reason no manufacture would step to the plate was they knew it would poach sales of their full size higher profit margin trucks. Ordered a hybrid maverick lariat lux package a week ago. I'm expecting it could take a year before I see it
@@marciaashton4500 Not sure how you ordered one a week ago? Orders for 2022 have been closed for a couple of months and 2023 hasn't opened yet. Ford has already said they won't be able to build all 2022 orders.
I'm related to someone who works for Ford
Tim was getting about $0.08/ mile with the Maverick hybrid , the F150 Lightning I ordered should be able to do about half that, around $0.04/mile, and that’s in a full size truck.
Wish Ford would have introduced a phev Maverick with about 50 epa ev miles and then go to std hybrid mode.
I heard from Nissan is coming out with a Frontier ev truck soon. Exciting times we are living in for sure!
Yeah, but the lightning is going to have half the range of Maverick Hybrid. Plus the lightning is going to easily cost $15-20k more (which amortized over the life of the lightning will cost a heck of a lot more than the gas savings) than a Maverick, and thats assuming you get the work trim. Go with one of the mid level lightning trims and you are looking at $20-30k more than a hybrid Maverick. Unless you were one of the earliest lightning orders, the Federal tax credit is going to start running out really fast too, increasing the cost of the truck even more. Lightning is a cool and more capable truck, but its more expensive than a Maverick by every metric.
@@TheTinkeringMachinist yes, I order the Pro, yes the Lightning is more expensive, yes you can put more expensive gasoline in the Maverick then the Lightning, but the Lightning will probably be worth more and retain its value more then the Mavericks ever will, I see a point in the future is that old ice vehicles will be worth less and less
I really regret not dropping my deposit on this little truck now that my 2005 Nissan Xterra needs to be replaced. My truck was tallied at $26,500 after tax and lic.
My dealer didn’t require a deposit
Boy, I was thinking about a 2023 Colorado with the turbo-four to replace my 2019 Colorado V6 but I may hold out for the future Maverick Hybrid 4WD. For what I use a truck for the Maverick would work for me.
Big difference in the hybrid and the 2.0 Turbo as far as gas mileage goes. I do short hauls around town and I can definitely live with 40 miles to the gallon versus 23.
@@anderander5662 also a big difference between 4x4 and awd
The hybrid only comes in front wheel drive.
At 4:56 of this video the instrument panel shows a digital speed reading. Is this a trip screen? I can't get a digital speed reading. Do you know how to do it? Thanks. Good video
What if you had a bed cover on, to smooth out wind resistance
My 2017 Accord V6 used to get a solid 43 on the highway when cruising at 65. Now that I have disabled cylinder deactivation I get 38 mpg.
It’s fun trying to beat the EPA ratings. You can’t do it with the wife tho 🤣
Like many have said already if the hybrid was available with AWD and possibly even with the 4K tow package I would order it tomorrow.
I have watched videos of the AWD going off road on some rutted rough roads, etc… and it did well enough for me to use on these country backroads to get me where I want to go to hunt 🏹 fish 🎣 camp 🏕 and kayak. Even if the MPG dropped into the 30s with the weight of the AWD and 4K tow package it would be the best value out there. 😎
The eco boost awd with 4K tow package is rated for 29mpg hwy
Coming from 2021 RAV4 hybrid it feels that the Mavy has a way better hybrid system by far! I’m so impressed how the truck feels,u can literally feel those MPGS coming! Don’t regret getting rid of RAVY at all, however super happy I got the MAVY!!!! The MAVY basically feels like it’s hovering do to its regenerating system.
Here in ny they want 32k for a msrp of 22k (maverick) it's unbelievable that ford is ok with this. I'll keep my sierra
There is a lot of those on the street just like that around here If you are not beating the tar out of a truck with towing and work I would buy one
@Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk: Excellent work. We both have a 2022 EcoBoost AWD model with Lariat Luxury package on order since late January. It appears that our Maverick’s may not be built due to some constraints with certain options (Co-Pilot 360, Lux pkg, etc.). The Escape is available in an AWD Hybrid. If my Maverick order is pushed back to a 2023 model, I plan on getting the Hybrid but it would be nice if we could get AWD. What do you plan to do?
Whatever my wife tells me to do. 😂 her Mazda lease is up in September. Going to be forced to make a decision at some point.
@@Pickuptrucktalk my Ranger lease is up 8/31. I don't know if I should turn it in or buy it out and trade it when Maverick arrives.
@@erickisel8668 hard decisions coming up unless things change that’s for sure!
@@Pickuptrucktalk I agree 100% Tim. Just called Ford. My buyout on 2019 Ranger is $31,920 plus taxes and fees. KBB trade in value is $35k. Not sure it makes sense to buy out and trade. Might just share a car with wife until Maverick arrives.
Next quandary is do I buy the 2022 Maverick EcoBoost if it gets built and trade it for a 2023 Hybrid I plan on ordering this August?
Like you said, a lot of tough decisions ahead. Good luck to you.
Do you have a Patreon?
@@erickisel8668 hmm… I swear we had a Patreon and now I can’t find it. I’ll set one up again. Don’t worry about it. You could join and be a member. That’s another option. Join button next to subscribe on video. Might need desktop though.
Hi Tim , do you have any information on the new Ford ranger 2023 , like will it have a hybrid. Thanks
Not yet.
Tim, we all know you were in a Prius and this video was supposed to be released on April 1st. 🤣
LOL. Actually got passed by a Prius while shooting this video.
I will take that 50 mpg truck my 2015 Ford Focus 1L 6sp manual transmission gets 62mpg so that’s good for Truck
Wow i'm amazed that most of the research on this car from people who actually own and drive it say they get 30-35 mpg but you get 62.
So you averaged 51mpg driving around 55mph which is typical for someone like me I drive in the country on two lane roads at about 55-60. On the way home at night I take my time and drive 50. I have 2014 VW Passat TDI and if it’s above 40 degrees I’m averaging 40mpg if it’s 30 and under 35,32mpg diesels like heat. But this makes me interested in this truck
I’ve had my eye on this truck (hybrid) for a few months. Unfortunately, there’s nothing reasonable around me. There’s 3 hybrids listed within 150 miles....a used one with 6,000 miles for $8,000 over new sticker, a new one (Lariat) for $16,000 over sticker, the other is a new xlt for $45k, so prob $20k over on that one.
Market is crazy hot right now. Just have to be patient.
I don't even know why ford is manufacturing other "decent-selling" suv or trucks. Just allocate the limited chips they have for Mavericks, Broncos and F150. Could've dominated the market with those.
Yes it's ridiculous what they are going for. Paying that much for it defeats one of the main appeals of the truck!
You would need to order it at msrp, and wait….new normal for the next couple of years
@@phileasler5401 I know, just irritating the absurd markups some dealers are trying for. No ordering for a while on the Maverick & I wouldn't order before trying one in person. There doesn't seem to be any on lots around to even test drive at the moment. I'm definitely not driving hundreds of miles just for a test drive.
Midgrade is a waste the hybrid only needs 87 octane
Mid grade in my area is 87. Regular is 85. I’m at 4K feet so octanes are different.
@@Pickuptrucktalk Damn, you high!
@@BoopSnoot just in elevation. :)
If you live up north with sub zero winter temperature these are what many hybrid owners are reporting. When starting (remote starting) cold.. if the heater and defrost is activated, the catalytic converter will overheat and begin to turn red (glow). The engine revolution will start to fluctuate. To make it go you have to turn off the heat/defrost. good luck trying to drive a vehicle with heater and defrost off in winter .. you won't go very far.
Another one, Shuddering at low speed, when taking of at red light or stop sign, it will occasionally shudder… as if you are trying to go straight from neutral to third gear without going through 1st and 2nd…
Abrupt breaking at low speed.. the regen braking system apparently is grabbing the brake so hard that your vehicle stop abruptly. Just warn every passenger not to drink anything while you park.
Rattling noise coming behind the dash.. very hard to pin point where it comes from.
Apparently drive shafts are coming loose. Make sure you check that regularly. This can be dangerous and affect gas mileage.
A small number (check your vin) have their gas tank pierced during bed liner installation. But the problem is that most dealer don't have any gas tank parts.. your vehicle will be in for weeks. That is also true with many parts, including the driveshaft, catalytic and sensors,
As of 20th april 2022, many of those issues are known, but people that are going through these are having hard time getting their car fixed.. as dealers are still learning the hybrid and don't have any parts in stock.
I would love to have one of these if it had a regular cab with a nice long 8' bed, so it could do some real work.
Mexican truck bad ass 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
Really? You couldn't pop for premium? Jill is sooo gonna rag on you about this.
If it was a Samsung flip 3 5G we would give him a pass. 😂😂😂
I wonder if putting a 6" lift would negatively affect the mileage?
Yup.
😂 is that a serious question?
Hell yes !
That rhetorical… Right?
Can you even lift a unibody?
Tim, you hyper miling is that possible? I thought you had 2 speeds 0 and 75 MPH!
No that’s Jill.
@@Pickuptrucktalk I’ll stick with the guilty as charged verdict! You got a lot of flat open roads up your way and a right foot that sometimes gets heavy. I have watched enough of your videos for reference. It’s all for a laugh! Have a great evening!
My lariat Maverick looks just like yours, delivered 44 mpg on its first tank of gas when driving in the Smokey Mountains. Hills and curves will actually improve your gas mileage because of the regeneration and battery power.
Ahhh, you need to take a physics class. Unless you drive downhill both ways….
Frank's a talkative fellow 🙄 fantastic numbers even if you knock 10mpg off for normal driving! See how they hold up (cvt)
Since it uses the planetary gear set with 2 electric motors eCVT like the Toyota hybrid system, it’s the most reliable transmission available today. Toyota has proven this for the last 20 years.
@@smarticus6384 So reliable in fact that people don't even know Ford has been using variations of it since 2005 in all their hybrids.
Ford powaaaa
How about people with skinnier butts? If the seats are not cushioned enough, it could cause leg pain and general discomfort
89 is over $6 here
50mpg is unbelievable. I'm not at all calling you guys liars, but it's just hard to believe.
Indeed. We were shocked when that was the number. Imagine a non-windy day!
It’s true tho. I did a 8 mile city trip and got 67 mpg. A 29 mile mixed trip and had 55 mpg. 80 on the highway will do 38 to 42. Most of my city driving is 50 plus. No eco mode
@@josephs8364 thats awesome! The hwy mpg is very good considering it's a "truck"
Ford is going to sell a lot of Mavericks.
I just got one two days ago, it has 241mi on it today, i have been averaging 49.5mpg. I haven’t been driving it hard, but not easy either.. 75mph highway runs, traffic, etc.. all said the build quality is alarming.. I really like this little truck but it has 1970’s ford quality..
You need to give up the microbrews.
Hate microbrews.
That got great mileage, just this if 2 skinny guy's did that loop!
Save now, pay later with quality issues!
Gas mileage not that good but in load it up and see what it gets. Place a half of cord of wood in it and see what it does. Your not giving it the real test
Gasoline wouldn’t be so expensive if weren’t all the taxes that are levied on it from the the federal and state governments. It’s 18 cents on the federal level per gallon and the states vary from 38 to 56 cents depending on what state you live in.
It’s 19 cents in Missouri.
I do like this channel and try to watch every video that comes out but these clickbaity titles I don't think they do anybody any good. 🤷♂️
How is it a clickbait title? The truck is rated for 33 highway 37 combined and he got 50 mpg and destroyed the epa rating just like the title said. Sit down and pay attention next time.
@@Sheepleton telling me to sit down is like telling your wife's boyfriend to sit down.
It's a clickbait title. Something along the lines of watch me hypermile a Ford Maverick and upset a bunch of Prius drivers would have been way more appropriate and informative.
I don’t like the look of it.
So a little truck got 50mpg. So all you truck drivers have been ***choosing*** to getting screwed all along with buying under performing over priced huge pieces. For the ones that need to haul I’ll give you that. For everyone else that just use a truck for commuting or their idea of *status symbols 🤦🏻♂️😂. ******Now this pertains to the ones that are complaining of the cost of gas.*******
I’ve burned zero gas in my Maverick…that’s why I had to buy a Subaru! Stupid Ford
Nice truck, too bad made in Mexico. I know, most people don't care anymore.
If you're so worried about MPG, buy a Prius or bike.
so my 2009 chevy cobalt 2.2 litre claims 5 litres per 100 km or 52 mpg . i have done it under ideal conditions . but normally it gets around 45 mpg . so how is all the tech and batteries helping exactly ? my 13 year old 4 banger is still going strong , what will that battery be like in 13 years . if elec wasn't being subsidized by gas prices it would cost the same to fill one up and take 2 hours . the gov . contributes 75,000 of gas money for every fast charging station . what a biden joke .
For $27,000 the damn thing ought to get 75 mpg at least! The gauge said 37 mpg not 48! What games are you playing for Ford?
Huh? The gauge automatically reset after stopping to refill. Not playing a game.
Nobody drives 55mph...just saying. Put it on 80mph let's see what it gets..
The point of this video was to do 55 mpg. Jill did a video where she drove more realistic speeds.
I get 38- 42 at 80
Finally seen one near me. Why did Ford make such an ugly truck? I don't understand how some of these designs can make it all the way through to production.
Looks are subjective. I don’t mind the look one bit.
They made them super ugly so they can keep up with demand. Guess they didn't make them quite ugly enough. I like driving my ugly white XL hybrid. It's so ugly I'm not worried at all that someone would steal it
@@mistergary2517 kind of has a Nissan Cube with a bed vibe. Been calling for GM to bring back the s10 for a long time as a smaller version of the Colorado. Ford beat them to it and hopefully we get some competition from the other guys.
There isn't a truck being made right now that can keep up with demand so that's not necessarily specific to the Maverick, but that MPG is impressive.
sorry bro I don't support electric crap.
So what do you plan to buy in the future? Everything is going to have electric with it someday.
How do you start your truck 🤷🏻♂️
@@devengudinas1649 - Hand Crank!
@@PickuptrucktalkDespite what the delusional, leftist folks like AOC think, full electric is not feasible...not anytime soon.
As for 100% hybrid...good luck with supplying the astronomical amount of battery demand that would imply.
@@cs1992 not full electric, hybrid first. We will see that a lot more in the coming years.
man. slow down your speech a bit. you slur like crazy.
