I have the XLT with the luxury package, 2023 Ford maverick, hybrid! I absolutely love this truck. My mpg‘s are 52 miles per gallon since I have purchased this truck with over 7000 miles now. It is the perfect truck for me. Most of my driving is rural to city Driving! Just got back from a road trip to San Antonio Texas and kept it under 70 got 47 miles per gallon. I would highly recommend this truck to anyone. It has definitely served me well!
I have the same truck as you! I love it. It's cactus gray. Only extra I got was the sliding rear window. I can't believe how much the price went up for 2024.
My wife and I purchased a 24 Maverick Hybrid XLT about 4 weeks ago. We were not even going to consider a Maverick but we sat in one at the Toronto Auto Show. Everything from seats to space is perfect for us. My wife is the "HYPERMILER". Average fuel economy has been 5L/100km. Last fuel tank lasted 1067 km. The small truck is amazing.
yep. That was my car of show. I love the Citreon Olie like interior. And yeah Hybrid would just let u go anywhere. if, its not for many news about poor ford quality, i would consider this instead of a Lexus.
VW and Ford are making significant efforts in Canada to offer better value for customers. I respect that and am willing to support it. On the other hand, we are being too generous to Toyota and Honda, particularly Toyota. We should be getting more for the money we spend.
I have had my Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid four months and absolutely love it. I drive about 50 miles daily and regularly get 40-50mpg in the warmer weather. The interior is laid out perfectly, the ride is really comfortable and I am able to do all of the trucky things I need to do. I absolutely love this!
Good job you guys. Yes reliability isn’t a light bulb going out. I’m looking at a Cactus Gray XLT here in SoCal. It’s as comfortable as my old Benz and twice as efficient. Don’t really like the CVT drone on acceleration but it is quick ha. I think these are great for young folks or folks like me who are looking at spending more time in the garden or on repairs and upgrades around the house lol. I would never get a ridiculous gigantic overpriced full-size pick up, but this car-based model with the cool rear bed will easily hold a couple 250 cc dirt bikes with the tailgate down! I guess one thing you didn’t mention was the modular aspects of the bed where you can get a couple 2 by 4’s to provide a custom solution for whatever you want to haul from bikes to motorcycles, to 4 x 8 sheets of plywood lol.
Put it is S isn’t repetitive it’s your catch phrase! I’m very tempted by this little truck. If the interior was a little less plastic I’d already own one. I appreciate the attempt to keep the price down though and it’s probably a smart positioning move. Good job Ford, hopefully the other brands try to compete in the coming years.
I can't believe someone griped about the "Put in in "S"" catchphrase. It's funny, Zack's hand choreography is perfect, and it is something all TH-cam creators say. Keep it going!
We just 'bought a '24 Lariat Mav and are loving it! We especially love how thrifty it is on gas! With Cali gas prices being so outrageous, hybrids are a must! I'm also waiting on your Nautilus Hybrid review. Love your channel and your honest reviews!!!
Yes! It's still the one to beat. You are correct in that most of the recalls have been minor requiring only software updates for some of the modules. My 2023 has had two recalls for the body control module (tail lights) and nothing else.
I have a 2022 XLT AWD ecoboost and while it doesn't get the MPG's of the Hybrid, I can still get 33 mpg highway with 93 octane and keeping the speed around 70 mph. With 87 octane the mpg drop 1 mpg.
Just bought mine in a part of my town where sales of it have been really soft. Paid 2k under MSRP for an XLT. My wife and i are thrilled, its the perfect family truck that doesnt break the bank.
I bought my lariat eco boost Maverick in November 2021. Sometimes I lament that I didn't buy the hybrid model, but I've only put 14,500km on my truck in 2.5 years and most of my driving is on the highway, where the difference in fuel economy between the hybrid and eco boost is very close. I also really like the eco boost's 250hp power output. This little truck hauls!
Don’t lament. I traded my ultra low mileage Venza hybrid on a gas turbo Toyota Highlander. I did the math. It would take me 18 years to break even if I bought the hybrid. That’s at average US gas prices at $ 3.00 a gallon. The lower MSRP of the Highlander gas, the $ $3700 discount on the gas model. My state charges an extra $ 100 yearly registration fee for hybrids and EVs. That upset me. Go green and be penalized. Rationale. You pay less in road taxes. The turbo 4 is so much more enjoyable to drive than my hybrid.
Completely agree. It takes many years to make up the cost difference with hybrids. Then factor in the cost of battery replacement after 10. Hybrids have an extremely high cost of ownership @@paulstein9258
In such a hyper competitive industry, it is hard to believe that Ford has been the only manufacturer in this category (I don't count the Santa Cruz - too niche) for almost three years now. I feel like the small-truck category is THE biggest untapped market. Waiting patiently for Toyota to _finally_ announce theirs.
3:40 The Santa Cruz is virtually identical in size and specs, and it addresses the need for stiff springs by using an auto-leveling rear suspension as standard, so it can go softer on springs without sagging when under load. It also got refreshed for 2025 so the new interior is miles ahead of the Maverick now.
@@BoopSnoot Power is one of the differences. Here in the U.S. You can get the 2.0L ecoboost on the base Maverick with FWD starting at $26,055, with AWD at $28,275, with AWD + 4k tow for $29,020. To get the turbo in the Santa Cruz you have to start with the black edition which comes with AWD and starts at $38,460 so to get the turbo engine on the Santa Cruz it's going to cost $9440 - 12,405 more than the Maverick.

I know I am doing this backwards. I bought a HYBRID Lariat last week and now I am watching your review. I have been reading on some of the forums some are having battery drain issues if they don't drive it enough
I like it. I especially liked it when they said that it’d be starting at under $20,000 USD, which quickly became $25,000 USD… which inevitably went even higher. In Canada (at a dealership) recently, I saw one with a sticker price of $48,000 before taxes and add-ons. At that SAME dealership, you can currently buy one hell of a used F-150 or a used Ranger… for nearly $50,000!! I know which one is go for. Thanks for the video.
That $19,995 US price must have been marketing. Same as the $39,990 cyber truck. Ford had no intention of producing a $20k maverick that would eat their F150 profits.
@@IKnewMickey Ford DID sell the Maverick for $19,995 ($21,500 with destination). Telsa never offered the Cybertruck for $40k. They were so far off the mark from reality. Tesla did the same thing when they released the Model 3. They said it would be $35k, but that never happened either.

Yes, and it is no longer the least expensive way to go either. You can pay less now for an Ecoboost AWD than a FWD Hybrid model in the same trim level regardless of being in Canada or the USA.
All automakers have followed the Tesla lead; make a lot of early noise about statistics that are “theoretically” correct, but don’t ever really deliver on those stats in practice. We should expect more of this.
@@GHinWI To be fair, Ford did sell this hybrid at a bargain when introduced. Ford saw the public buying these up at an alarming rate and jacked the price up.
@@xxZerosumxxthis is why as consumers we need to take the power back, wait for it to sit one year on the lot and then buy it when dealerships are desperate.
I've had my 24 Maverick hybrid for 3 months now and I can't praise it enough. It took 9 months to come in and I'm avg. 45mpg. I installed the tri fold hard cover and with locking tailgate it makes the bed a huge trunk. The only thing I would change is to get the option that includes the power seats. The acceleration and torque is amazing. The rear seating is not as usable for adults as the videos I watched prior to ordering truck. It is not comfortable for 6' male on long trips.
I fit 2 dogs and my tall son in this daily with no problem! As a serial SUV owner, I'm loving having a truck bed where your cargo is separate from your cabin and it doesn't matter if it gets dirty.
They didn't jack up the price $5,400 in 2 years on the hybrid because of production problems. They did it because they saw it was the hotter selling trim and figured it wouldn't hurt sales.
Took delivery of my XLT hybrid in February after waiting 519 days from the original order. Very glad I waited, it's an amazing vehicle and they've worked all (most?) of the bugs out. Wisconsin here... I didn't have much trouble at all with the fwd Escape that the Maverick replaced, so I'm not too worried about getting stuck in winter. Thanks for another great video.
I got mine at the end of March here in Tulalip, WA and I initially order it when they opened the orders for the 2024's mid July of 2023. But somehow the order didn't go all the way through to my dealership. So I ended up ordering at the Dealership in mid August. I took it on a lil road trip to Portland, OR a day after I got it! It was perfect timing because the used 2007 Ford Escape hybrid that I had didn't have as great of mileage (27mpg) that my 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid had (40mpg)(RIP she got in an accident). So I broke my Maverick in on a 900+ roundtrip drive to Portland. I'm loving this lil Truck! It's perfect for my DJ gigs and painting workshop gigs.
I had multiple trucks from , raptors , Toyota Tacoma , to chevy Silverado’s , I still currently got a ford raptor but bought a maverick yesterday for daily used and I love it
The AWD hybrid would be tempting for my neck of the woods. The good old fashioned key is great...don't need some wireless FOB arrangement for thieves to hack and have my new vehicle off to the port of Montreal and out of the country before you know it! : )
I have a '23 XL Hybrid with steelies(best trim). I get awesome mileage...almost as good as my last car...a '17 Prius. I live in Newfoundland where we get a lot of snow and I'm fine with the FWD. Just put on some good meats and you're good.
According to Consumer Reports, the Predicted Reliability of the 2024 EcoBoost Maverick is 71/100 whereas the 2024 Hybrid Maverick is only 60/100. CR Reliability estimates are based on the Annual Survey Results from 2022 & 2023 model years.
Just drove home with my new ‘24 Maverick! I fell in love with it as soon as I drove it! I paid 27g, that is totally reasonable, used ones with 90,000 miles are selling for 23!
The only recalls that affected me have been software fixes for issues that could happen, but haven’t. i have a Lariat hybrid without the lux package. If you get a hard tonneau cover, you give yourself a large, lockable “trunk” for daily use and still have a truck bed when needed. I had looked at SUVs prior to going with the Maverick and sheets of ply would need to be strapped to the roof as opposed to slid into the bed. 37mpg winter, 42 mpg so far this spring and 49 mpg last summer. Also had to go out in the worst snowstorm of the year and made it home safe and sound. Likely easier w/ all wheel but quite doable. Count me as a 5 star owner.
We were in a collision in my beloved Mazda CX-5 last Monday and I think maybe she's going to be totaled. Thankfully, nobody was injured except the 2 vehicles involved. I've been longing for a pickup ever since I sold my 2007 Ridgeline and I think this might just be the perfect one. Can't wait for a test drive! Thanks for your fantastic review content.
FWD is fine in the winter. I lived in MI most of my life, and only got stuck once in very deep snow after over 20 inches of snow with huge drifts. Use Low, and I could get up very slippery Hills no problem. I go stuck more with AWD vehicle as I got overconfident.
Great review, love watching you guys. Far too many recalls Ford needs to fix that, engine, taillights, dashboard is just what I can remember. Ford needs new leadership and UAW needs to start earning them paychecks.
I had an XLT Hybrid Luxury (waited 13 months) but the day it arrived, I ordered a Lariat Hybrid. I would thave ordered it but was not allowed to in Canada at the time. Coming from a loaded F150 Lariat, I really wanted the rear backup sensors and dual zone a/c that are Lariat trim only features. I just took it on its first trip (about 1000 kms) and it is indicating 5.9 L/100 kms. The Lariat is much quieter than the XLT and I like the interior colours. The price really wasn't ever an issue - what sold me was the suitable size of the package, I also have the Ford branded Leer cap which lets me put the baby stroller almost fully erect right in the back with loads of room for shopping. Makes switching things up with my daughter's baby a breeze. I'm keeping an old Ranger for now, but may get rid of it when I see how the Lariat handles the light towing I do occasionally.
Me and my brother were given a maverick that was a great car never needed oil changes. Most importantly was the squeaky front end. great parts getter for his nova ss and my 70 chevelle.
I have a 23 maverick xlt hybrid. It really is all the truck I need living in the city. What they need to change is to add keyless ignition, adaptable cruise control, and awd/4x4 to the hybrid model is the maverick will dominate the market easily.
I have one too! I come from a line of small trucks last truck being my biggest (a 2012 nissan frontier pro-4x) 4WD but never used it so livin in city this is truly a perfect truck!
Nice follow up review. I have a 2023 Lariat AWD, luxury package, black appearance package, 4k toe package in Alto blue. I agree that the front wheel drive hybrid suits people like you given where you live. I, on the other hand, live in rural Ottawa. Most of my driving is 80kph back roads or freeway driving where the fuel economy of the hybrid is not that much better than the ecoboost. Add to that the harsher winters we experience here, then the AWD is almost a necessity. These are great pickup trucks in either engine configuration. I find it much nicer to get in and out of, clean snow off of, and park in small parking spots than my old 2019 F150 (I did love that truck). It handles and drives more effortlessly also. The Maverick is not right for everyone's needs but it is perfect for a lot of peoples needs. I have owned two Toyota small pickups (1977 and 1983 Hilux), three GMC Sonoma pickups, two Ford Ranger pickups, and three F150 pickups (5.0l, 2.7l and 3.5l ecoboost) and so far the Maverick is my favorite to drive.
❤❤❤ it! Waiting to see if the 2025 is going to give us an updated infotainment system. And BTW, yall s reviews are the BEST! Much southern love and hugs from Nashville Tennessee!
@motormouth. My father in law is in love with his hybrid one. Use for hunting and little trailer for his ATV. Amazing fuel economy and price. It's really cheap for a hybrid
Great review as always. Love Andrea's calm enthusiasm. I have had Toyota pick-ups since the early 80s but was considering the Maverick as I downsize. Nice wee truck, but still a Ford. I was very excited when you mentioned the possible return of the small Toyota truck that would also be a hybrid. My present Tacoma is way too big for town parking, and was way too expensive. How true do you guys think that a new smaller Toyota model is??? Looking forward to your review if it comes. P.S. Keep the "put it in S" thingy.
Zak, Just buy one! Make it your son's vehicle if you need to. This is your 3rd video with the Ford Maverick and I see you keep getting giddy with it . I have 2 Maverick Hybrids now. I bought the first and my wife wanted one once she drove it. If you can get it for MSRP or better, it should be a no brainer.
1st....I succumbed to the pressure and subscribed. 2nd I own a santa cruz and its by far my favorite. 3rd...im going to drive a maverick in an hour and evaluate. Im choosing to add another vehicle and its between hyundai and Ford.
Great Video you folks are awesome! I couldn't find a Maverick at sticker price so leased my 2nd Honda Ridgeline. It's awesome just doesn't have the fuel economy of the Maverick.
Just got around to watching. Glad to see the question asked about if AWD for the hybrid was coming, if it does Ford has hit a home run, especially if they do a PHEV. Tbh this is the only ford with an auto I would consider buying.
I'm very happy with my 2023 Maverick Hybrid XLT. Averaging 45MPG, been perfect for the first 20k miles and with regular oil changes etc I expect 200k no problem. note that I also use it for truck stuff - hauling a bunch of concrete bags, appliances, lumber etc, and with the factory tie down's it's good to go.
I’ve owned 4 Mavericks, 3 XL hybrids, and a XLT Tremor. Sold all of them because of not having enough room for 7 vehicles. Also my old Ranger made it irrelevant. I’m surprised you all didn’t buy one. My press rep from Ford told me that’s no word on AWD hybrid. They are struggling with supply chain.
I wished they would offer it in Germany/ Europe too. They could also build one of the VW- MEB platform, which underpins the Ford E-Explorer. A small truck like this it not available here..
Like very much your reviews (even if sometimes I make comments about not agreeing with some vehicle features 😁 ). The Maverick is very interesting and innovative for that market. Just getting quite pricey too. The Tremor version might convince me to get one as I want a little more ground clearance)
If this were available it might have torn me away from my bronco sport with the 2.0, which is so similar to these. I’m not a truck guy at all but I sometimes wish I’d considered hybrid. I seem to remember reading that there may be a hybrid Bronco Sport coming in 2026. Any reality to that? Great coverage as usual
Yes, we look forward to driving that one. Still waiting for it to arrive in the press fleet in Vancouver. Unfortunately, we missed the drive event, we had a conflict with another brand.
Why is interior room ALWAYS so shitty in Tacomas? How is the smaller Maverick beating the Tacoma in front and rear leg and headroom? That said, I'm pretty sure the hybrid Maverick's going to be my next vehicle.
I have had at least 6 Fords over the last 35 years. Have no issue with any of those truck, cars and Suv's. I’m so tires of hearing this doubt about reliability. Yet when I had a Honda, that car gave more problems than most of the vehicles I had.
Just wish it had a longer, 6 foot bed. The larger bed is good for my light duty truck stuff. I would also like NA 4 for longevity, so I can keep the truck for a long time, but it’s not a deal breaker. The Maverick is the best option, but the prices are getting pretty high.
Glad you are enjoying it. Every Sunday I put a post out on Instagram, follow along at Motormouth_andrea The post is only up for a short time and then it's deleted once we have our questions. I usually post now around 10am PST.
I'd like one, but I have issues with the # of recalls etc. As it would be my main and only form of trans I'm not crazy about done time. I would like the Fx4, but would prefer super charged versus turbo charged. As I'd prefer a 4WD versus 2WD. I have no issue with the Tupperware interior it just means easy to clean. I am also surprised that no one outside of the coming from Dodge is "supposedly" a hybrid that drives it's own fuel cell charging from its gas engine. I'd also love it in the paint scheme you showed with the Mustang-e. My last personal niggle is that no after Market Mfg has made an Extension Tent with the tale gate folded down that fits the bed for camping. And that unit is easily added or removed as needed. Otherwise I still may...may, buy one.
As a regular.. Andrea.. Continue putting it in S for subscribe. What’s the point in being a returning subscriber if there’s was no engagement like that :)
I'd love a hybrid for my business, but it's not enough bed for my needs. The 6ft bed I have now is the sweet spot. The idea of getting 42mpg around town is so enticing though. I'm currently getting 16mpg. The smoothness of the eCVT transmission would also be a lot more pleasant to live with considering 99% of my driving is in the city. I'm really disheartened that Ford arbitrarily raised the base price $5,400. We get nothing more for that money. I can hear the executives in my head. "It's selling extremely well. Let's squeeze consumers for more." *rubbing fat greedy rich hands together* Remember when being a #1 selling vehicle didn't mean the price of a car jumped up thousands for no reason?

Unfortunately, the base hybrid Maverick has increased in price by 30% from its launch debut. :(
Yes, and it is no longer the least expensive way to go either. You can pay less now for an Ecoboost AWD than a FWD Hybrid model in the same trim level regardless of being in Canada or the USA.
All automakers have followed the Tesla lead; make a lot of early noise about statistics that are “theoretically” correct, but don’t ever really deliver on those stats in practice.
We should expect more of this.
@@GHinWI To be fair, Ford did sell this hybrid at a bargain when introduced. Ford saw the public buying these up at an alarming rate and jacked the price up.
@@xxZerosumxxthis is why as consumers we need to take the power back, wait for it to sit one year on the lot and then buy it when dealerships are desperate.
I've had my 24 Maverick hybrid for 3 months now and I can't praise it enough. It took 9 months to come in and I'm avg. 45mpg. I installed the tri fold hard cover and with locking tailgate it makes the bed a huge trunk. The only thing I would change is to get the option that includes the power seats. The acceleration and torque is amazing. The rear seating is not as usable for adults as the videos I watched prior to ordering truck. It is not comfortable for 6' male on long trips.
I fit 2 dogs and my tall son in this daily with no problem! As a serial SUV owner, I'm loving having a truck bed where your cargo is separate from your cabin and it doesn't matter if it gets dirty.
Just bought one with trade in for 18 thousand! I think l did well, and its a hybrid. Was bought in Oakville Ontario!
Great experience.
Love the Maverick. I wish Ford would ramp up production so prices could become more affordable.
Why would they do that? 😅
@@blipblop92True😅
They didn't jack up the price $5,400 in 2 years on the hybrid because of production problems. They did it because they saw it was the hotter selling trim and figured it wouldn't hurt sales.
@@palebeachbumI’m referring more about dealer markups.
They have been at full tilt since inception.
Took delivery of my XLT hybrid in February after waiting 519 days from the original order. Very glad I waited, it's an amazing vehicle and they've worked all (most?) of the bugs out. Wisconsin here... I didn't have much trouble at all with the fwd Escape that the Maverick replaced, so I'm not too worried about getting stuck in winter. Thanks for another great video.
I got mine at the end of March here in Tulalip, WA and I initially order it when they opened the orders for the 2024's mid July of 2023. But somehow the order didn't go all the way through to my dealership. So I ended up ordering at the Dealership in mid August. I took it on a lil road trip to Portland, OR a day after I got it! It was perfect timing because the used 2007 Ford Escape hybrid that I had didn't have as great of mileage (27mpg) that my 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid had (40mpg)(RIP she got in an accident). So I broke my Maverick in on a 900+ roundtrip drive to Portland. I'm loving this lil Truck! It's perfect for my DJ gigs and painting workshop gigs.
Wow! Loving the 4K Content! Makes watching your videos so more enjoyable! Thanks!
They have the numbers up on the Hybrid. You can order on and get it in about eight weeks. Depending on the options you order. Great job guys
I had multiple trucks from , raptors , Toyota Tacoma , to chevy Silverado’s , I still currently got a ford raptor but bought a maverick yesterday for daily used and I love it
The AWD hybrid would be tempting for my neck of the woods. The good old fashioned key is great...don't need some wireless FOB arrangement for thieves to hack and have my new vehicle off to the port of Montreal and out of the country before you know it! : )
Man I like these guys. They have some great chemistry. Rock on guys!
I have a '23 XL Hybrid with steelies(best trim). I get awesome mileage...almost as good as my last car...a '17 Prius. I live in Newfoundland where we get a lot of snow and I'm fine with the FWD. Just put on some good meats and you're good.
According to Consumer Reports, the Predicted Reliability of the 2024 EcoBoost Maverick is 71/100 whereas the 2024 Hybrid Maverick is only 60/100. CR Reliability estimates are based on the Annual Survey Results from 2022 & 2023 model years.
Just drove home with my new ‘24 Maverick! I fell in love with it as soon as I drove it! I paid 27g, that is totally reasonable, used ones with 90,000 miles are selling for 23!
I test drove some cars, including a Hybrid Sportage. A friend told me to try a Maverick, gave it a go. Damn. I guess I need a hybrid XLT now.
“That’s what she said”, nice one Zack. Made me laugh. This truck looks great.
15:10 LOL. I love that Zach said what I was thinking. :D
The only recalls that affected me have been software fixes for issues that could happen, but haven’t. i have a Lariat hybrid without the lux package. If you get a hard tonneau cover, you give yourself a large, lockable “trunk” for daily use and still have a truck bed when needed. I had looked at SUVs prior to going with the Maverick and sheets of ply would need to be strapped to the roof as opposed to slid into the bed. 37mpg winter, 42 mpg so far this spring and 49 mpg last summer. Also had to go out in the worst snowstorm of the year and made it home safe and sound. Likely easier w/ all wheel but quite doable. Count me as a 5 star owner.
We were in a collision in my beloved Mazda CX-5 last Monday and I think maybe she's going to be totaled. Thankfully, nobody was injured except the 2 vehicles involved. I've been longing for a pickup ever since I sold my 2007 Ridgeline and I think this might just be the perfect one. Can't wait for a test drive! Thanks for your fantastic review content.
Watching in Sydney on a wet cool weekend. Vancouver weather.
FWD is fine in the winter. I lived in MI most of my life, and only got stuck once in very deep snow after over 20 inches of snow with huge drifts. Use Low, and I could get up very slippery Hills no problem. I go stuck more with AWD vehicle as I got overconfident.
4x4/AWD get you stuck in deeper snow, further away from home!
I am not a fanboy of black wheels but it looks good! I agree.
My 2010 Mazda 3 has a very similar engine and still drives like a beast! With Mazda engine + Toyota eCVT = this Ford is gonna run forever.
Great review, love watching you guys. Far too many recalls Ford needs to fix that, engine, taillights, dashboard is just what I can remember. Ford needs new leadership and UAW needs to start earning them paychecks.
I owned a Ford Maverick, a 1970 little bomber, was my first car. Was fun too drive, I miss that little car, Andrea would have had fun driving it.😊
I had an XLT Hybrid Luxury (waited 13 months) but the day it arrived, I ordered a Lariat Hybrid. I would thave ordered it but was not allowed to in Canada at the time. Coming from a loaded F150 Lariat, I really wanted the rear backup sensors and dual zone a/c that are Lariat trim only features. I just took it on its first trip (about 1000 kms) and it is indicating 5.9 L/100 kms. The Lariat is much quieter than the XLT and I like the interior colours. The price really wasn't ever an issue - what sold me was the suitable size of the package, I also have the Ford branded Leer cap which lets me put the baby stroller almost fully erect right in the back with loads of room for shopping. Makes switching things up with my daughter's baby a breeze. I'm keeping an old Ranger for now, but may get rid of it when I see how the Lariat handles the light towing I do occasionally.
Thanks!
Like your team effort. Like your reviews. Like the Ford Maverick❤
Andrea’s fashion choices are always so spot on.
Bravo!
Me and my brother were given a maverick that was a great car never needed oil changes. Most importantly was the squeaky front end. great parts getter for his nova ss and my 70 chevelle.
I have a 23 maverick xlt hybrid. It really is all the truck I need living in the city. What they need to change is to add keyless ignition, adaptable cruise control, and awd/4x4 to the hybrid model is the maverick will dominate the market easily.
I have one too! I come from a line of small trucks last truck being my biggest (a 2012 nissan frontier pro-4x) 4WD but never used it so livin in city this is truly a perfect truck!
Nice follow up review. I have a 2023 Lariat AWD, luxury package, black appearance package, 4k toe package in Alto blue. I agree that the front wheel drive hybrid suits people like you given where you live. I, on the other hand, live in rural Ottawa. Most of my driving is 80kph back roads or freeway driving where the fuel economy of the hybrid is not that much better than the ecoboost. Add to that the harsher winters we experience here, then the AWD is almost a necessity. These are great pickup trucks in either engine configuration. I find it much nicer to get in and out of, clean snow off of, and park in small parking spots than my old 2019 F150 (I did love that truck). It handles and drives more effortlessly also. The Maverick is not right for everyone's needs but it is perfect for a lot of peoples needs.
I have owned two Toyota small pickups (1977 and 1983 Hilux), three GMC Sonoma pickups, two Ford Ranger pickups, and three F150 pickups (5.0l, 2.7l and 3.5l ecoboost) and so far the Maverick is my favorite to drive.
❤❤❤ it! Waiting to see if the 2025 is going to give us an updated infotainment system. And BTW, yall s reviews are the BEST! Much southern love and hugs from Nashville Tennessee!
Thank you very much!
@motormouth. My father in law is in love with his hybrid one. Use for hunting and little trailer for his ATV. Amazing fuel economy and price. It's really cheap for a hybrid
You have the best reviews! I love this truck!
Great review as always. Love Andrea's calm enthusiasm. I have had Toyota pick-ups since the early 80s but was considering the Maverick as I downsize. Nice wee truck, but still a Ford. I was very excited when you mentioned the possible return of the small Toyota truck that would also be a hybrid. My present Tacoma is way too big for town parking, and was way too expensive. How true do you guys think that a new smaller Toyota model is??? Looking forward to your review if it comes.
P.S. Keep the "put it in S" thingy.
Zak, Just buy one! Make it your son's vehicle if you need to. This is your 3rd video with the Ford Maverick and I see you keep getting giddy with it . I have 2 Maverick Hybrids now. I bought the first and my wife wanted one once she drove it. If you can get it for MSRP or better, it should be a no brainer.
Nice! It’s a simple working pick up truck. Zack should buy it for himself. A bag of chews? 😂 Overall I like it. Great video Andrea! 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed the review. One day Zack will get one I am sure of that.
@@andreaspencer9813 I am sure he will. I do enjoy every videos. Have an awesome day! ☕️☕️
1st....I succumbed to the pressure and subscribed. 2nd I own a santa cruz and its by far my favorite. 3rd...im going to drive a maverick in an hour and evaluate. Im choosing to add another vehicle and its between hyundai and Ford.
You never been to disney world, that is the best ride! Period!
Great Video you folks are awesome! I couldn't find a Maverick at sticker price so leased my 2nd Honda Ridgeline. It's awesome just doesn't have the fuel economy of the Maverick.
We are fans of the Ridgeline as well.
Just got around to watching. Glad to see the question asked about if AWD for the hybrid was coming, if it does Ford has hit a home run, especially if they do a PHEV. Tbh this is the only ford with an auto I would consider buying.
Classic "that's what she said", Zack 😊 Did Andrea blush with that one?
I'm very happy with my 2023 Maverick Hybrid XLT. Averaging 45MPG, been perfect for the first 20k miles and with regular oil changes etc I expect 200k no problem.
note that I also use it for truck stuff - hauling a bunch of concrete bags, appliances, lumber etc, and with the factory tie down's it's good to go.
I’ve owned 4 Mavericks, 3 XL hybrids, and a XLT Tremor. Sold all of them because of not having enough room for 7 vehicles. Also my old Ranger made it irrelevant. I’m surprised you all didn’t buy one. My press rep from Ford told me that’s no word on AWD hybrid. They are struggling with supply chain.
I wonder if they'll put an AWD version out when Toyota introduces their new little pickup with the 2.5 hybrid AWD
I wished they would offer it in Germany/ Europe too. They could also build one of the VW- MEB platform, which underpins the Ford E-Explorer.
A small truck like this it not available here..
I wanted leather seats in my 2024 Ford Maverick XLT luxury edition…the dealer said no problem. For $1100 it was well worth the price!
Maverick or Honda Ridgeline, tough choice! If the Maverick had a nice infotainment It would be my #1 choice.
LOL Andrea smiling as Zack holds up his fingers 4 inches apart while saying 6 inches.
I usually get close to 50 MPG - 22 MAV Lariat Hybrid - 30K TTL - out the door - even with the price increases a great value. b
Like very much your reviews (even if sometimes I make comments about not agreeing with some vehicle features 😁 ). The Maverick is very interesting and innovative for that market. Just getting quite pricey too. The Tremor version might convince me to get one as I want a little more ground clearance)
My ecooboost has been great for two years and 33,000 miles. Potential buyers should be aware a midcycle refresh is coming this fall (2025 model year).
The best smaller truck in the market right now!
These are excellent trucks & I’d consider one if Ford ever releases a 4WD/AWD hybrid.
Reliable transportation, sleek performance.
I just spit out my coffee laughing! It's good to know Andrea can take three in the back and one in the front...
The Toyota Stout is their competitor to this but not available in Canada.....yet.
Ford is finally understanding the market
If this were available it might have torn me away from my bronco sport with the 2.0, which is so similar to these. I’m not a truck guy at all but I sometimes wish I’d considered hybrid.
I seem to remember reading that there may be a hybrid Bronco Sport coming in 2026. Any reality to that?
Great coverage as usual
We like to see 2024 Lincoln Nautilus hybrid review and your opnion
Yes, we look forward to driving that one. Still waiting for it to arrive in the press fleet in Vancouver. Unfortunately, we missed the drive event, we had a conflict with another brand.
Love to see the new Lancia review.. so stupid. Enjoy the moment
Why is interior room ALWAYS so shitty in Tacomas? How is the smaller Maverick beating the Tacoma in front and rear leg and headroom? That said, I'm pretty sure the hybrid Maverick's going to be my next vehicle.
great reviews, new subscribers.
I want one too
It does have a sunroof love it.
I have had at least 6 Fords over the last 35 years. Have no issue with any of those truck, cars and Suv's. I’m so tires of hearing this doubt about reliability. Yet when I had a Honda, that car gave more problems than most of the vehicles I had.
They just started taking orders for the 2025 and it does come standard AWD, hybrid
Can you fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood or drywall in the back bed laying flat between the wheel wells?
I doubt it, but the Ridgeline can. And that starting price they listed for the Ridgeline is too high.
Just wish it had a longer, 6 foot bed. The larger bed is good for my light duty truck stuff.
I would also like NA 4 for longevity, so I can keep the truck for a long time, but it’s not a deal breaker.
The Maverick is the best option, but the prices are getting pretty high.
I agree I like the colour combo and I do not like black wheels.
Where do I submit my question for cars and coffee which I love…?
Glad you are enjoying it. Every Sunday I put a post out on Instagram, follow along at Motormouth_andrea The post is only up for a short time and then it's deleted once we have our questions. I usually post now around 10am PST.
I'd like one, but I have issues with the # of recalls etc. As it would be my main and only form of trans I'm not crazy about done time. I would like the Fx4, but would prefer super charged versus turbo charged. As I'd prefer a 4WD versus 2WD. I have no issue with the Tupperware interior it just means easy to clean. I am also surprised that no one outside of the coming from Dodge is "supposedly" a hybrid that drives it's own fuel cell charging from its gas engine. I'd also love it in the paint scheme you showed with the Mustang-e. My last personal niggle is that no after Market Mfg has made an Extension Tent with the tale gate folded down that fits the bed for camping. And that unit is easily added or removed as needed. Otherwise I still may...may, buy one.
Price have gone up so! Much! I remember XL hybrid was like $33K CAD WITH TAX! Damned 8k increase is not right
I drove a ford mavrick in high school, and it was a 4 door sedan.
I like it. I just wish we had a 2 door option.
As a regular.. Andrea.. Continue putting it in S for subscribe. What’s the point in being a returning subscriber if there’s was no engagement like that :)
I agree, thanks for the support!
I'd love a hybrid for my business, but it's not enough bed for my needs. The 6ft bed I have now is the sweet spot. The idea of getting 42mpg around town is so enticing though. I'm currently getting 16mpg. The smoothness of the eCVT transmission would also be a lot more pleasant to live with considering 99% of my driving is in the city. I'm really disheartened that Ford arbitrarily raised the base price $5,400. We get nothing more for that money. I can hear the executives in my head. "It's selling extremely well. Let's squeeze consumers for more." *rubbing fat greedy rich hands together* Remember when being a #1 selling vehicle didn't mean the price of a car jumped up thousands for no reason?
Ford blew it bigtime with the PRICE INCREASES of over 30 % for the Hybrid model after inly 2 years on the market .
I ordered 23 Maverick 8 months ago got recall before I
