I've ordered a 2025 that is in production this week. Based on my research, the drop in HP is because Ford is adding a gasoline particulate filter (GPF), similar to DPF's that have been on diesel vehicles for years. Also, initially the GPF's will only be added to vehicles delivered in states that follow the stricter California emissions rules (basically west coast and north east states). So my 2025 Maverick being delivered to S.C. will have 250 HP. And I agree with you on climate control, I prefer knobs and buttons over touch screen!
Good old Canada, 250hp! Also I understand people that want the physical buttons, but the AUTO feature for climate just does everything. No need to touch anything. I've found on my mk7 GTI, I rarely touch the climate controls since I use auto mode.
I finally found the 2024 Maverick Tremor in Black that I've been looking for!! Was determined NOT to get the 2025 because the have made the Tremor a line above the Lariat...so you get most of the Lariat options that I didn't want..like the added "safety" features!!! Plus the new Tremors start at a ridiculous price above what the Lariat is!
The big change is with the hybrids. You can now get the hybrid with AWD and 4k tow package. I have a 22 xlt hybrid and have a 25 xlt hybrid on order! I will be trading in my 22.
My 2025 hybrid XLT is in production right now. I ordered on 8/1 because I wanted the Eruption Green color and my current lease is almost up. Thanks for the info.
I think safety features are super cool, there was an accident near my home where someone had a seizure and their car plowed into a concrete pillar. He is no longer with us. just something to consider also they can be turned off individually but to each their own
I read somewhere that the 25 XL/XLT will have halogen bulb headlights? Same with the physical climate control delete, these are obvious cost reductions. What less obvious cost reductions dont we know about yet? I suspect the change in stated horsepower is a non-issue. It likely is a testing procedure correction and may not affect real-world performance. We will know the answer soon enough.
The answer is already out. Change in power due to compliance with emissions control regulations. It is a real drop of 12 horsepower on the ecoboost engine. It is a fact.
I wonder if the decrease in HP\TQ for the 25's is to increase longevity of the drivetrain, especially the transmission. I know I've read the 8F35 paired to the 2.0 EB is already over its rated limits. To me it seems Ford used that trans to save money, not provide longevity. Great opinions in your video. My biggest gripe with the Mav is the price. I decided to walk away from my 24 when it came in as ford had already raised the price since my 22 they sold from under me ( whole other issue I have with Ford) and wouldn't do anything to help. Add on another $2k+ for the 25's and it's no longer attractive to me. Cool little trucks, but still a super cheap truck under its skin.
For states that require it. I ordered a 2025 XLT FX4 Ecoboost in Eruption Green. Where I live (like 40+ other states) we still get the 250hp. States like California have to have the fuel filter thing that they are having to add at the dealership and you lose 12hp with it

Biggest thing I'm wanting to wait for on the 2025 is the AWD Hybrid with the 4K towing package
@@RyanNiemer Very true! 4K tow package is necessary!

Thanks for let us know about changes
@@clemnewton9007 Glad to help!

@@ScreamoYT Yea most people like the safety features, to me they can be annoying! To each their own!
I have a 2024 XLT hybrid Maverick , good video thanks
@@johngrant1337 thank you! 🙏🏼
As some interested in the hybrid, the change in hvac controls alone has me sticking to a 23 or 24 model year.
@@jbandt I can’t stand the touch screen HVAC controls! 😡
I’ve owned a 23 hybrid and a 24 AWD eco, and in my opinion there are zero improvements offered by getting a 25 Maverick.
I have a 2024 and really like it. Don't like the 2025, or the higher prices across all trims. Bad move moving a/c controls to the screen.
@@billquattlebaum1577 Agreed!

@@huie1983 Thank you! 🙏🏼 and yea they are not really an “affordable” truck anymore! 😬
No way , less power on 2.0 ecoboost ? Its true ???!!!!

They are ugly and overpriced
or just not buy a ford and be better off!
What do you suggest for cheaper pickup?
@@TristanBach the elation of a cheap price -is soon dismayed by low quality..
