The 2025 Ford Maverick Lobo Is Turbo Street Performance Truck With Loco Vibes
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- The #FordMaverick gets some big upgrades this year, including a first-ever street performance variant dubbed the #MaverickLobo. The #FordMaverickLobo comes with a 2.0L #EcoBoost turbo engine under the hood, paired to a quick-shifting 7-speed transmission and standard AWD. It also gets a unique look on the outside, a lowered suspension with 19” wheels, and a new Adrenaline Sport driving mode for when the road gets twisty.

Bet you this trim is gonna last 1 year because dealerships think its a good idea to mark up a maverick with different bumpers by 10k.
truth..... stealerships!
Mann I love the look of but they could’ve at least gave it 300hp
It’s a small pickup designed for the vegan eating rainbow loving people. What did you expect?
They always start lower. Give it a few years.
@@electrikoptik all I’m saying is that the pre-refreshed version had 250hp why not make the sporty one have that kind of power?
@@cryptickhi2510 Because Ford knows its customers. The Maverick is very popular under liberal men, women and lgbtq buyers. These Nancys don't care about raw speed.
Torque is what matters on these smaller turbocharged motors. The motor is more than adequate for this size of a truck.
Only Pepperidge Farms remembers when the Maverick was marketed as a sub $20K truck.
Exactly and I wanted one was all a lie
There goes Ford turning a $25k truck into a $55k truck
@@GeorgeGeo Did you not watch the video lol.
Google has it starting at $36k
Even though it was mentioned it'll start at 25k, I've actually never seen them cost that low ever.
@@calebniederhofer6529he wants the controversy 😂
Starts at 25K dealer adds another 15K
Ford had one opportunity and they missed it again! A 2.3L Maverick ST with 300 hp AWD with a optional manual or automatic transmission, thats what we want!!
I would love to see the Focus RS drivetrain in the Maverick …
CVT that fake shifts doesn't do it for you? How about a fake hood scoop??
Especially with paddle shifting
Right, they could’ve taken the engine and transmission from the explorer or mustang
It has a literal focus st engine in it…
Should at least Come with 300hp and a nicer exhaust system. N give it an upgraded B&O system. That would've made this small truck even better than anything out there
Future ST. This is probably a stepping stone. Hopefully. But yes. 2.3l with the 8F57 transmission putting out between 270 and 300hp. Also another couple inches lower. Unfortunately that vehicle would also be $45k which I don’t want to spend. I’d probably still pick up an EB at that point and just modify it. Save some money and make it closer to what I want.
It does go with what a lot of car manufacturers do. Instead of increasing horsepower and making it true performance, they leave the horsepower the same as the standard engine and just add mainly cosmetic touches and then call it performance.
The Ford Lobo nameplate in Mexico is a Mexican market F-150 (non XL trims) - only the work trucks in Mexico are badged F-150
If it had the 2.7 Ecoboost V6 and a manual it would be perfect.
Even the 300hp 2.3 from the base bronco
Any one of these 2 engines especially the 2.3, would have made more sense than this 2.0 238hp they have in it. The sales numbers on this is about to plummet.
Why can't all automakers especially Ford set all their specs in stone right as a vehicle's come out?@@GodsloveMuzik
I came here just to type that!! Basically a fusion sport in truck form!!
Why would you think that would ever be a thing in 2024.
What’s the point if it just has the same hp. Needs 300hp if it was going to be a street truck…
Doug DeMuro just said no one will by it. I disagree. I like it. I look forward to maybe seeing more performance upgrades like an ST or an SVT. I like the wheels.
I am sure a ST is in the works
I hope. An ST with everything this has, but with the 2.3 as well
That would be nice!
I hope it is!
Besidea the new screens. That interior looks like it came out a fleet van from 15 years ago
It NEEDS a 2.3 Ecoboost with 270 Horsepower or More and then I Would Buy it!
I’m pretty sure the 2.3 cld fit in that truck. Missed opportunity.
A guy bolted one in! Easy swap.
@@ericsendzicki3130 I heard about that also
Lobo with the 2.3. ST with the 2.7!!! That would be extremely Awesome? Add a 5 or 6 speed manual.
They need a slightly more powerful version to get me interested. I'm still driving my 18 focus st which is putting out about 300 crank hp. This is gonna feel slow and sad if I switch to it
Not a fan of the flat disc wheels, and I'd definitely opt for the Honeycomb style wheels.
That grill reminds me of something water drains into on a curb
Grill? Like… Weber or Charbroil?
Maybe you’re illiterate and you meant grille?
Bro said slammed street truck appearance for walking by a 4-in wheel gap 😂😂😂😂
1981 Turbo Trans Am wheels 03:35
I was thinking Knight Rider
Yep, a cross of Knight Rider and 90s Mercedes.
@@hellkitty1014 Yep, gave me Mercedes monoblock wheels vibe as soon as I saw them
Turbofan wheels are in right now
Knight Rider wheels? LOL
This is a cool idea, and I wish they would have given it a more powerful engine, but they know people will tune it. Those wheels don't match the vehicle imo, but you can buy a wheel that you like and sell these to an ST owner all day.
That blue on the dash reminds me of an old '86 Ford Escort I had. LOL!
They can put fogs on this thing but none one the FX 4 or the tremor?
That has tow hooks.
The MB-inspired wheels aren't my favorite, but the truck looks good. But I wish they could've given it a variant of the 2.3L for more power and performance to match the aggressive looks. And price...😢
I own a 2023 Mav w/2.0 AWD/4K/BO and love the power/speed of my truck which is rated at 250hp/277fpt. It seems odd that FOMOCO lowered the hp by 12 to 238hp. I’ve heard the trans on models prior to 2025 is actually rated for only 240hp so maybe that is a factor for the change? Or maybe an ST version is in the works and the lower hp ratings on the other models will appear to make the ST seem like a higher increase in hp to future buyers. My Mav runs to 60 in just under 6 secs, so it’ll be interesting to see how quick the new Lobo is with new hp and driveline changes. Looks nice. Reminds me of my 2010 Sport Trac Adrenalin 4.0L (205K miles) that I sold when I bought my Mav. Would’ve bought this if I’d been able too.
Another reviewer of the 2025 Mavericks noted that the fuel for the rated HP went down to 87 octane, down from 91 octane for the 250 HP with the 2024 & earlier.
HP was lowered due to some gas particulate filter which reduced it by 12
Lobo is a bounty hunter from the planet Czarnia
Wow! They made one with body colored side mirrors!
They should have given it the Fusion Sport treatment and they would have had a classic.. 325 hp 380 tq.. Just imagine smh.. Imagine really being able to tow in the Maverick with the 2.7...
*Lobo LOBO! Bring back Sheriff Lobo!*
Dammit I love it! But it’s pricey. Time to go hussle
238hp and the word “Performance” should never be used in the same sentence. How can it be a “performance” version when it makes exactly the same hp as the non-performance versions with 1 less gear? 0-60 eventually
The Maverick fucks, it’s a start for the C2 platform and it’s only in its 4th year of production, it’s more so made for the auto cross scene rather than track scene and the Feista ST had 197 hp, and the Focus ST had 252 hp
I have normally only done Autocross in BMW’s exclusively, but I could see myself having some fun in one of these given my experience with a Lariat driving it across a few states.
@@aquiettime7319 The FiST was actually 197 in temporary overboost though. It was more like 170HP constantly.
@@georgevigil7001 the fiesta engine is also what powered the ford formula ecoboost a decade ago, able to be tuned to close to 300 hp
Unfortunately it's a trend. Toyota did the same thing with the Camry TRD and 2 or 3 special editions of the Corolla that were little more than body kits and lowering springs.
Sick truck man..I dig it..both wheels are badass..great review as always
These damn companies neglecting their new "performance" models is really annoying. The Hornet GLH did it, now the Lobo? DUUUDE! We ask, and it's almost like they try to deliver but they always halfa$$ it, to put it bluntly.
No 2.3 or 2.7 was criminal in this thing. Just like no 2.0T hybrid was criminal in the Hornet GLH.
Same transmission from the Edge ST. They couldn't just slap the damn 3.0 in there?
C R I M I N A L
The only thing more Loco than the Lobo is Sofyan!!
I think it should be called Maverick ST
No more power? That’s stupid.
Ordering mine next week, only in black with the optional wheels.
Should've added the Focus RS 2.3L EcoBoost, that would've given this thing the power needed to go with the image
0:12 whooo a new Wolfpack is coming for the Mav and I’m a Latino and this will be a good match for fiestas and street tacos and it looks muy sexay!!! There is a she wolf in the garage coming next year
GMC needs to bring out their version of the street truck. The Syclone was the king of street trucks back in the day.
Had been trying to buy a Maverick for 2 years, best deal I could find was a poverty trim XLT for 35k ($5000 “market adjustment”) at was supposedly an MSRP dealer. Gave up and bought another brand. Same thing happened to me year ago with the Focus RS, again ended up with another brand, for 3k under MSRP opposed to Fords 6k over MSRP. Even for specialty vehicles I refuse to pay over MSRP. It enables dealers to continue predatory behavior. Dealers are still making thousands on sales of every vehicle they sell for MSRP there is no excuse for them to screw people.
Ford your dealer network is going to be your grave.
It’s gonna blow up at 120k miles just like every other 4 cylinder turbo pile
So they decreased the power from 250 to 238hp? Is Ford Loco?
I actually like the Lobo with those disk wheels. Very nice.
The black emblem looks so much better. Ford should just stick with the black or no color moving forward
Ford-fix often repair daily.
Toyota-Quality, durability, reliability.
Up until their new V6 anyway.
The Lobo seems like what I really wanted, but I do not like too many things about the 2025s. Happy with my 24 Lariat.
All you need is about 250 horsepower with matching numbers or higher torque and it's the same performance as a 300 horsepower car. I had soooo many cars. Around 250 horsepower in a fairly small vehicle is rocket power. But u all wouldn't know that Gen Z
So close to perfection… why not just use LEDs for the turn signals! Nice looking truck, would definitely get one!
Needs way
More power for it to be called a performance truck
Ford didn’t mention the exhaust because they stuck a particulate filter on it. It will cost thousands to replace and rob HP and MPG if it’s anything like the diesel filters. Tuning laws will be restrictive.
I’m a big ford hater but man this looks so good. Also the wheels are epic!! Wow.
Didn't it used to have 250 horsepower?
You said it was the same at 238hp
Same as the 2.0 in other trims. The 250 was the pre refresh numbers
Idea for ford on the next version:
LOBO as a the Grill LOGO
i believe Cobb already came up with the tuning for the gear deletion, maybe Ford has kept an eye on the forum, and grab all the ideas to their own lol
Great Review Sofyan, I always enjoyed your informative style.🤘👍
The hybrid with all wheel drive will probably be the big seller. I think Ford should make the paddle shift trans standard on all trims with the 2.0 liter.
That should be the next Explorer ST front end👏🏻
Where's the performance? "Repositioning" parts under the hood isn't enough.
Wow , this kind of looks like a rolls Royce cullinan from the front...in a good way.
I’m sure they will offer a Fob with the Lobo logo for an extra $250 (per fob)
Finally a nice, cheap $32k semi performance truck...Wait what? Limited production? How much is the markup? Did you say $15K?!!!! Can I take that donut on the way out? You guys don't mind do you?
Should have a stick like the ST Focus ….which is essentially what it is…. They lowered the front end 1.2mm and rear 3mm overall
Well now, Ford builds a Maverick that I would actually be interested in buying. But, I'll bet 5 dollars to a donut that it won't be available in the U.S.A. However, one can hope.
Should've had the 2.3 4 cylinder engine, would've been real quick
Performance oriented model….offers no additional performance 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sharp looking mini truck though.
The rims are probably great in snow
VERY VERY NICE FORD TRUCK A+ FORD 😮😮
Missed opportunity to give it proper power. Fair point about this having tuning potential, but Ford could just, yknow, give it more power. Wheels are a little weird too, but overall it's good that Ford made a trim that recognizes that these are just city trucks and barely any off-road use.
It's mostly just an appearance trim. It leaves them room for an ST version later with more actual power.
Lobo is back!
I’m sure with a tune on it you could get 300hp
I know who's gonna buy this vehicle.
Looks really slick I like it a lot
Looks way better than the new bmws. Good job ford!
Ain’t no way they still using that 2013 chime
If it’s a performance model, then give it at least 270 hp. Or better yet, put in the 2.3 liter turbo from the Ranger
Where is the beef it should be atleast 300 horsepower with the 2.3 then we have something to talk about. It looks like a half hearted sport truck effort it has no heart. The Lobo is a all show and no go. Ford really could have came out with something really special.
5:47 well, I'd certainly hope so
Nice Looking Compact, Maverick is selling, I got in my bucket List! Dont see a LOBO emblem or Decal
The rims look straight outta Rocket League.
The whole point for this truck was to be affordable in the beginning (just under $20,000).
They could have used the 2.3L Ecoboost from the Focus RS.
In Mexico the lobo model is the f150 model truck in not 150
3.0 V6 and 3.5 V6 were known as HIGH OUTPUT ENGINESSSSSSS
Lobo...LOBO... bring back Sheriff Lobo!!!
Ford has been selling an F150 Lobo since the 90s in Mexico
Ford needs to bring back the Flex.
Fun fact, the name Lobo is what the F-150 is named in Mexico
I want to buy one, regardless of the negative Nancy comments. Sheeeeesh that’s sweet.
Love it. But I hate that dial shifter!
It looks like straight out of the 80's. Don't like the new front end with this shield design covering the headlights. Looks like an afterthought to me..
2025 Ford Maverick Lobo edition. I like the design wish it had color trim, but that's my opinion.😐😐
Lobo = DC Comics inspired lol😂
To be fair the f150 has been called the lobo in Mexico forever
Okay I hope they have a hybrid version with body colour cladding? 😭
my 24 ecoboost mav makes 250, why didn't they put the mustang engine in it?
Why no 6 speed manual
starts at 27k with no tires, no AC, no Steering Wheel, Manual Windows, and garden plastic chairs, if you want the model reviewed in here it will be 55k
Can do some serious korean bbq with those wheels..
