The Ford Maverick Hybrid Blows Past Highway MPG Rating In Our 70 MPH Efficiency Test
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Jordan takes the 2022 Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid through our typical 70mph highway MPG efficiency test! We always set tire pressures to factory right before we run these tests, they are a loop style to counteract any wind or elevation, and we run them at a constant 70mph for repeatability. Thanks for watching!

#Ford #Maverick #Hybrid
It never fails: no matter where you go, there will be a lifted Ram 1500/2500 with a clapped out diesel that has 300k miles on it, just idling for no apparent reason.
Diesel engines are difficult to restart . That is why you see those polluting monsters idling away , making even more pollution. Maybe fuel prices will finally do away with filthy Diesel engines.
@@ytSuns26 Yeah, fuel prices will magically stop the demand for bulldozers, cranes, backhoes, excavators to build anything etc where over 80% of all diesel is used. What a twit.
@@Channel-gz9hm Innovation in electric heavy duty construction equipment is happening fast.
The ram doesn't have 300 K on it, it just looks like it has 300K on it by 60K it would be on it's 3rd transmission. Ram/Chrysler paper mache transmissions suck.
@@ytSuns26 no, they are not difficult to start. Maybe you should learn something before you comment.
Have a Maverick just like the reviewed truck. Just drove it from San Diego to Flagstaff and back at 70 mph. Obviously, some big mountains on this route and it was very windy. I had 2 bikes in the back which caused some extra drag. Got 32.3 for whole trip. Truck only had 400 miles at start. I am very pleased with the truck so far.
How’s the gas mileage now that the engine broke in?
I have 2022 Ford Maverick XLT with the 2.0 ecoboost engine. We drive from Houston to Dallas /Ft Worth area and back several times a year to visit family. I drive 75 mph with the cruise on which is the posted speed limit. I get up to 80mph to pass slower vehicles then back to 75 mph. I have been getting 34mpg on a 280 mile drive. Love my Maverick!
I made a two hundred mile loop to bass pro shop in Alabama and back. My lariat hybrid on the computer said 46.5 , actually 42 .3 !
My Maverick is the lariet version of yours, same color, has had a computer average of 41 mpg in 1500 miles so far, with mixed driving highway and the smokey mountains.
Good test. Point of reference. Ford's recommendation of 87 Octane is based at sea level. The rule of thumb and due to the reduction in O2 as altitude increases, one octane point for every 1,000 feet of altitude can be subtracted. The Denver area is 5,000' so 87-5 = 82 Octane is just fine for a non-turbo vehicle when 87 is recommended. This is why 85 Octane is the baseline octane at higher elevation locations.
That’s old school, “dumb car” advice now. 85 should not be run in newer cars.
@@rapid13 Why is that exactly? You've offered no sources and I'd like to know more.
@@jimjacobson4797 Here ya go, boss. It’s pretty interesting: th-cam.com/video/kJyd6C99_3g/w-d-xo.html
@@jimjacobson4797 th-cam.com/video/kJyd6C99_3g/w-d-xo.html Engineering Explained has a pretty good video on it.
Electrification can't come fast enough.
My Hybrid Mav will be arriving at the dealership in the next two weeks. Thanks to Jordan for the video...I'm excited!
Wish Ford has decided to make more than a handful of these.
UPDATE January 2024: My dealer called and said that one was on the truck, and sold it to me at MSRP. So, maybe things are improving!
Me too, It does sound like their suppliers are the limiting factor more than anything. They could cut back on the F-150's in my opinion and focus on these.
@@6speedtib they know where the money comes from, and it’s not $30k hybrids. Those F trucks make ludicrous profit margins. It’s still very disappointing, because every truck they sell will be another 10+ years of that gas guzzler on the road when most people don’t need an F series at all.
Ford got caught flat footed with the launch of the Mustang as well. Although back then it was a lot easier to ramp up production. A lot less parts (and most were in inventory from other model vehicles in Ford's lineup) and no Covid to deal with !
I just got mine last week and I concur. It gets better gas mileage than advertised. Very happy with this purchase. Its also drives nicely.
2023 Hybrid XL. I have 2600 miles on it, mostly highway at 70-80 mph and Im averaging 34.5 mpg.
I will say I have noticed DRAMATIC mpg changes depending on the outside temperature. Once it gets 50° and above I see an average closet to 37
yes the gas mileage on these are amazing.... i travel to work about 16miles doing 56mph on country road and i normally get 48mpg.....the sweet spot traveling out of town seams to be about 55mph to get the best gas mileage
40mpg is nuts for highway at 70mph. The measurement is far more accurate at the mileage driven divided by the amount of fuel being put in where as to reading the mpg by the computer.
I call complete BS on that figure, no way.
Correct, I've never had a car displaying the correct mpg when compared to real mpg (miles driven divided by gallons refilled)
@@melaniedomingo5755 For real. There are times I've gotten better MPGs then what the trip meter says.
Since Ford just revealed the new refreshed 2025 Maverick hybrid to now be available with 4WD (YAY!!!), it would be great if you can get one to do the same real-world mileage test!
Ford anyone wondering, the 2.0 ecoboost awd still can get 30 mpg hwy.
Good stuff. I drive to Colorado often and get about 5 or so less MPG at altitude then I get at home in Pennsylvania. I just lost my Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost to two deer strikes, which was a loss because it was a manual transmission that got up to 50 MPG on the highway and 43 or so around town, and that was from new to about 170,000 miles. My wife wants a Maverick hybrid and it seems like a good choice. Unfortunately, no manual transmission which is a huge loss but such are the times.
This is the first Maverick highway test I've seen, great job!
I have that same Fiesta. Definitely one of my favorite cars I’ve owned because it does everything so well. Not as fun as my Miata or RX7 Turbo were but much more practical. My 70lb dog did not like riding on the parcel shelf. We take the 1.0 for 180 mile Costco runs instead of our First Edition Bronco Sport.
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.
"Many hybrid owners" meaning perhaps a few dozen out of tens of thousands. I've been driving my hybrid xlt since early February, and haven't experienced any of those issues in over 2000 miles of driving. It is easily the most satisfying new truck I have ever purchased...and there have been many. There are always issues with new vehicles from any manufacturer. And the ones who have them always make the most noise...as I would of course. Bottom line is most are extremely happy with their new Mavericks. I sure am!
Hybrid + AWD would be a Home run if they do it. It's a shame you have to pick between the two. In climates with snow, having AWD is a very sought after feature.
Yeah…but a person with some skill can put a front wheel drive car in any place a AWD car can go.
A FWD, especially something like this with lots of ground clearance, is awesome in the snow with good tires. You just have to be a little bit more careful with your throttle inputs and angle of approach.
AWD doesn’t help with stopping. I drive an FWD Accord and Grand Caravan in PNW winters with no trouble on all seasons for 20 years.
@@J.Young808 never said it does. But it can help with getting moving or control on skippery roads
There will likely be a hybrid awd version later. I understand the suv with the same drivetrain has awd available.
Super truck. My wife, of all people, who doesn't even like cars wanted this so, it's on order! Just think they avoided the 4 wheel drive hybrid because they wanted to come with big numbers, as the 4 wheel will drop this below the magic 40 number. Especially for the cold states, it would really do a better job for winter. However, I believe that there will be so much pressure for a retrofit for 4 wheel drive that it will come. Not like they can't do it. Go Ford.
The hybrid is not offered with 4 wheel drive only the 2.0 gas only that you can get and.
That's an unfortunate name for a gas station. But cool vid! lol
When I first moved to Colorado, I thought it had to be a joke, but nope.
Lmao
Looking for new 2024 maverick. discussed with dealer, don’t know yet the change in price for 2024,so we are looking for XL at 22.600 , then add 1000 (hybrids are so few that dealer can add this) plus about $1500 optional, 1600 delivery fee and 650 purchase fee(?!?), brings it to 27.400 , plus NJ tax of .06625… plus the dealer already indicated new base price may be starting at 24000 for the XL so overall very basic 2024 XL hybrid starting from 30.000 (nj tax included)
The only reason I wouldn't get the base XL model is cruise control is not even an option. I take way too many road trips to not have that.
I can't find a single one these here in CA without at least a 50% price markup.
I laughed when I was in colorado and saw "Kum&Go" gas stations
Great truck and I would love to have one. Almost none available right now.
Good info, this is coming from experience, tell everyone upfront. Don't ask for moving help etc. just because I have a pick up truck. You will save yourself allot of B.S.
I have a 1997 vw passat with 300k miles with a proper tune and turbo and aero I get 60mpg at 60 mph and 70 I get 55mpg I will soon be adding a hybrid system of my own to see how far I can push it im adding the electric motor in the back and since they did have awd version of it it will fit so yeah gonna be epic
Made in Germany ???
That truck is not 20 Grand to start the Dealerships are marking them up because there are so many orders on it. In fact they have stopped taking orders for the rest of the year there are over 100,000 orders on this truck
Please Ford, build a plug-in hybrid!! I will buy 2!!
id love a plug in mavrick hope they release on for the 23 year
whats the difference between this hybrid and a plug in?
@@lordcommandersnow1625 you don’t plug this one in. The battery assist should be charged by the ICE motor
Colorado seemed to net better gas mileage for me on the highway. I think the altitude provides less air resistance, while the hybrid drive system is almost completely unaffected by the altitude.
The higher in elevation you go, there is a reduction in power , but increase in MPG’s, due to air density.
Ahhh.... The Cheyenne Flying J...
Just curious... Wellington Co is 5,200 feet above sea level. I wonder how much the elevation plays in the fuel economy of this vehicle?
Why would you split the difference? It was 40mpg for that trip.
remember when the car companies lobbied to get rid new MPG rules because they said it wasn't possible and would be too expensive....well now you got a 20k pickup getting 40mpg.....:eyeroll:
If I could get a single cab long bed I’d buy one today. Not sure if auto safety regulations forbid a true standard cab small truck or auto makers just don’t want to make one, but that would be perfect for me.
It is the perfect car truck
How much do it cost to replece the battery
Hybrid All Wheel Drive and I'll buy one.
What about white gasoline ? Anyone with experiencing better mileage with it ?
Thats mindblowing amazing!A real game changer!Its game over for Tesla?Ford is the Best!Henry Ford would be so proud!
Yeah game over for tesla….. yup they are going to stop selling cars.. watch out everyone no more tesla
@@hasanmasood224 Hahaha....right,no teslas anymore everybody is waiting for a Maverick!:)
@@brunoheggli2888 I know the lots are full of them. They will never financially recover
this makes no sense, but I'm glad you're pleased
Modern day model T car for the people
Whoa I didn’t know 85 octane was an option.
STOP “topping off” your fuel tanks. When it clicks, it’s full. Everything you pump past that point is filling the evaporation tank for overflow. Look at the bottom of the filler hole and you’ll see a small hole for overflow, that’s connected to another one inside the filler neck that leads to a separate tank for overflowed fuel to evaporate over time. Your wasting money and fuel for the feeling of getting the most possible
You're only half correct. The fuel doesn't leave the vehicle but it can get into the evap system and poison the charcoal canister which is an expensive part to replace.
That's exactly why TFL has a discrepancy about Ford mpg pump numbers. They are actually wasting fuel with the second top off and Ford specifically says in the manual not to do that.
You know, most people do it not to top off but to make the price end in either a 0 or a 5 so it shows up even on their card.
Lol when these young millennials have never owned a TDI and think 40 miles per gallon is insane. Kind of sad pretty much every 4 cylinder car made before like 2003 could get that.
Diesel pollution is blech
Emission controls prevent such vehicles. Emission standards became much more strict in 2007 and not to mention the fact that diesel has 30% more energy per gallon, getting this sort of fuel economy in a new vehicle today is actually far more impressive, especially for a truck.
And don’t forget all the weight added due to increased safety standards.
Man, I wonder why Volkswagens struggle with emission tests lately?
@@MrQuaggle I know. They were able to pass them for 20 years until about 2008 without a single problem? Heck I had a 98 I got over 60mpg in.
Build them
Don't split the difference, the computer is obviously wrong. It got 40mpg.
Maybe. Maybe not. You need to do several mileage loops to get an accurate reading.
You didn't show how many gallons you need to fill up the truck...
look it up…
Wow 20grand, that's fucking good, if there were more truck options at 20grand AND smaller size like that hyundai baja or whatever their new truck is santa cruz?? Anyways a small truck with such a small bed, you would ask yourself, why even get a truck with a bed that small, anyways my point is I'm a buyer who, if needed a truck, wouldn't be those fullsized super big crew cab ultra mega american size
I am impressed with the mavric but how will it stand up to the test of time and abuse.
At the 20 grand price point 6-7 yrs throw it away get a new one like people use to do
It's a better idea to build better cars than Pipelines. Instead of extracting more oil. We need to extract more energy out of gasoline.
actually better to do both.
thats a semi-failed test..... really you need to use up at least half the tank... better to use up most of the fuel in tank... then refill at same location.
kum n go.......
Just build them instead of your high prices vehicles
Upon release, Ford stated 500miles/tank and a combined 40MPG - We all scoffed at them, laughing at either their claims or the severely underpowered pickup... boy were WE wrong. This isn't a heavy duty work horse of a vehicle but it IS the perfect small-business, independent contractor truck. It can haul sheet goods flat, tow a poolman or landscaper's trailer or just a couple of little seadoos/kayaks to/from the beach.
Seats 4, 40mph, $20k, hauls practically anything... YES PLEASE!
Which is exactly what it was aiming to be
Getting 28-32 MPG on my FX4 Lariat Maverick, I wanted AWD and the power of the ecoboost. It's better than than the 14 MPG I was getting on my 8 cyl AT4😛
I remember you In the Chevy group. I also got rid of my 2020 LTZ Z71 because the 6.2 was averaging 14.5 I didn't get the little Maverick. I opted for the 2021 Lariat Powerboost.
Hard to believe unless you are driving mostly freeway at 65
Not too many bad things you can say about this truck. I’ve been driving my hybrid lariat for about a month getting 41 mpg combined. Love this truck!
I was trying for a lightning but that’s not happening anytime soon now and I’m just hating myself driving my GT500 getting 15th on the hwy… really looking at one of these
People are seeing in the 45-50mpg range with city driving, where hybrids always excel. Even in its most fuel-guzzling environment, highways, it's still going to get in the low 30s without trying too hard. There is no other truck sold in the U.S. capable of those kinds of MPG numbers. I'll venture to guess that a significant portion of full-size truck owners do nothing more than what this Maverick can handle.
A relatively small battery can significantly improve city fuel economy in any vehicle. Hopefully, a plug-in or fully electric Maverick (or possibly in the next generation Ranger) is coming.
Yeah I want the 20K base model and Nope can't find it anywhere!
highways are the least 'guzzling' enviroment. the motor can find its sweet spot and just cruise. city is ALWAYS worse because of constant start stop and idle
@@bradhaines3142 True, except for hybrids and newer cars that have Start Stop technology which prevents idling.
@@SpockvsMcCoy no because the start stop still adds wear, and idling of any kind is waste
I only clicked to make sure the store was really called Kum and Go 🤣🤣🤣
Only problem is that dealers(at least in my area) are asking 10k over sticker for a new maverick. You’ll never make that up on gas.
Same here in CA. I can't find them for under 35k anywhere (MSRP 20K)
Hey Biden has over two years left in office . Gas might go to $100.00 a gallon !
@@ytSuns26 so once Biden gets out of office gas worldwide would drop dramatically?
@@cliffordzellner5917 oh yes no question. Thus current oil thing is the big FU to the corrupt deep state and Biden. When Saudi Arabia and the UAE don’t return Biden’s calls you know they are blowing Biden and his son Hunter off , they paid the bribe they are going to charge whatever they want. Biden wants to bitch they will rat his corrupt ass out. Ukraine officials already ratted out the Biden’s for the millions stolen from Ukraine.Biden and the deep state are in a serious corner and the rest of the world doesn’t want them around any longer. Prelosi, Biden and the gang are up to their eyeballs in trouble.
Are they also marking up conventionally-powered vehicles? If so, you will make it up in gas.
Another good thing is that this engine/hybrid system is older and already well known. Just a more refined version. My old escape has the same 2.5. Doesn't get the same mpg though. I like this little "truck". I'm not a ford guy but so interested in this thing. Never had a new car, but if I were to buy a new one, I'd look at this.
Go all the way with electric
My Fusion hybrid gets over 40 mpg almost always
@@sterlingfury yeah I've been looking for an older one. They seem to have nice looking interior also. I'm not a ford guy but I'd definitely consider one.
@@mmakeitso not until the range goes up and/or charge time decrease. I don't want to wait 1 hour on a road trip.
Mine is 2010...213 000 k when I bought it and around 219 now...lowest mileage I think was 35 or 37 but usually 43, 47, 48, 53 once...really nice to drive too...2013 and up have only a 2 litre but mine is 2.5 ...look for leather interior if u can...Lincoln mkz hybrid is the same car just slightly upscale version
I'm driving 68 miles a day w/ combo interstate, hwy, city and depending on my route, I get 40 to 46 mpg. The 40mpg is with 20 miles of interstate at 70mph-80mph. I'm super pleased.
Why not get an EV? I drive 72-74mi/day with majority freeway. I charge at home 99% of the time. Costs me $2 per day round trip when charging off-peak. I can't imagine paying for gas anymore.
@@Cjdergrosse I totally agree. In fact, I am hoping to get an EV truck in the next year or so. But there aren't any out just yet.
@@thepasswordisrhubarb f150 coming! Starting 40k!
@@Cjdergrosse About 17% (56.83 million) of the US lives in condos/apts and would require 100% public charging. As of Jan 2022 there were less than 120,000 US public EV charging stations and 41,000 were in Calif.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for EVs and I would like to own one, but I believe that the US public infrastructure is decades behind our current EV technology.
It's easy to ask the question, why doesn't everyone buy an EV? But, just imagine if everyone suddenly bought one. Based on the numbers that I've found, that's simply not feasible for tens of millions of Americans who don't have their own private spot to charge an EV.
In a standard vehicle that’s what 4-4.5 gallons at $5.00 .
I’ve had my hybrid Lariat for two and a half months and I’m getting 39 mpg combined. I get 33 mpg on the highway and 43 mpg around town.
Damn, hybrid lariat isn't offered in canda. That's the spec I was looking into. We only get the ecoboost lariat. Odd.
You should get a scan gauge so you can see your SOC off the battery instead of the analog bar that doesn't say much and start pulse and gliding. Meaning do what we do on the Prius: Accelerate to max engine cut off speed: 45 mph, and then throw it in neutral down a hill. People used to do this on the old escape hybrids too. Works well to boost mpg and is kinda fun.
For the life of me I can't understand why they do this. Canada gets a better Hyundai Santa Cruz and the US get a better Maverick. Why?
People who don’t think front wheel drive is adequate for winter driving in the mountains are usually under 40 yo. In high school, I got around the Snowmass Village/Aspen area with no problems in my 1979 Dodge Colt. All it takes are good tires and some operator skill.
Don't ever click it again , can saturate the charcoal cannister and cause EVAP problems.
Don’t ever do that gas trick in a bmw. It over saturates the sensor and kills it making it almost impossible to fill up later due to the sensor being broken
Junk
I don't understand why they don't just let it go until it clicks the first time. In modern cars and gas pumps that is absolutely the maximum amount of fuel that should be put in a car.
Why would anyone ever own a BMW?
Yeah I have never experienced an issue with pumping after it clicks off the first time, but then again I don't usually do it. I have read so many articles stating NOT to do it and the reasonings make sense as it can overflow into the charcoal box etc. I have replaced a charcoal box or two on past customer cars that had been filled.... so I felt it was bad practice to fill after the click, but o well.
TFL does the same fill-up and short highway loop too. I find the computer on my 2020 Escape 2.0 Ecoboost to be within 1 mpg of the computer reading. An never ever top off after the nozzle shuts off the first time. Ford says this can damage the fuel system.
Can't wait to get my hybrid. BTW, I love the Kum and Go, I've been doing that ever since my divorce.
1:40 capless system, you arent supposed to yoink it out immediately, wait 5 seconds
I've usually found any vehicle I get I beat the EPA's fuel economy numbers both city and highway. Even my 2008 Tundra beat the highway 17mpg rating. I'd get between 19-21mpg with it on long trips, 14-16mpg city, 8-9mpg towing.
My 87 bare bones basic 2WD V6 manual Ford Ranger will get 25mpg on the highway, but eventually I'd like to get a Maverick, and keep hoping they release an AWD Hybrid with the 2.5L non-turbo 4 cylinder. If they do it'll be replacing my Bronco 2 as it would become my daily driver. The Ranger would have to stay as its a long bed (7 foot bed), use it around the property as a utility vehicle all the time LOL.
I received mine with 400 miles on the odometer. Filled it. 34mpg first tank. And at 80 mph for half of that or so.... Impressive ride. Smooth too. Hope it lasts.....
I would be very interested to see if a tonneau cover would influence these numbers.
love these mpg tests. I can see some people might even drive this truck as their daily commuter.
I'm 2 months into owning mine and so far I'm averaging 42mpg
I really like the Maverick. I would get the hybrid base model if you could get cruise. Since you can't I would get the XLT. I wouldn't get any of the options. I hate adaptive cruise, lane keep and automatic braking. Biggest problem is finding one.
I was ready to seriously consider the absolute base Maverick until I saw it did not have cruise, I get it's to keep it cheap but come on! my old 92 bare bones ranger had cruise and it was mechanical. I imagine this Maverick is simply the addition of a few wires and a change in the computer programing because im sure its throttle by wire already.
@@6speedtib I agree 100%. They should at least offer it as an option on the base model. It's their way of scamming you into paying more than you want.
I don’t remember where, but there is a company making an aftermarket cruise control for the Maverick XL.
2023 and up have cruise control on all models now
@@AA-ex4cs That's nice to know. They should have at least offered it as an option before, but they didn't.
I ordered my maverick in July. My build is March 28. I still can’t believe I get to have it actually. I saw it online and ordered immediately. Told my buddies you won’t believe this little truck. It’s going to kill. Should be Christmas in May for me.
Hope you enjoy the little guy!
Great!
Ha. All the Ecoboost guys said there was very little difference between the Eco and the hybrid on the highway. That's well over 20% better at highway speeds and it's still almost 100% better in the city or highway traffic. Then on top of that Eco has to burn premium for maximum power and efficiency while the hybrid is designed to burn regular. Only makes sense to get the Ecoboost if you need AWD or to tow 4k.
Technically speaking, the Ecoboost is designed to run on 87 Octane Fuel. You can get better efficiency with 91, but the hybrid would also, since 91 just has better bang.
That said, the spooling of the turbo dumping huge air means huge fuel, so yeah, the EcoBoost will be less efficient, but much quicker. Our local Ford Dealer (Where my dad works) will not order the Hybrid only because it has no AWD. 2WD trucks don't sell here, the winter months are harsh and having 4WD or AWD is very useful. Would love to see how the hybrid model works in the snow with proper tires, but as someone who went from a FWD car to a 4WD Ranger... it's night and day difference in snowy conditions.
@@Xyler94 What do you mean when you say "91 just has better bang"? There is a common myth that higher octane rating (Anti-knock index) means higher energy density, but it turns out the opposite is true, a gallon of 91AKI has less stored energy than a gallon of 87AKI, though only very slightly less. The additional power and efficiency in vehicles that support multiple fuel grades comes from adjustments to the ignition timing; If the ECU is not designed to detect higher anti-knock index fuel and adjust accordingly, the vehicle will see no benefit.
@@PMitchell106 91 octane is technically a more efficient explosion. "Better" doesn't necessarily have to mean stronger, but in this case, it is a better more efficient explosion to counter knocking.
@@Xyler94 A more efficient explosion would increase knock, not prevent it. The advantage of high octane is that it resists pre-ignition (knock), and the flame front does not advance as quickly from the spark, so you can fire the spark plug earlier in the compression stroke. If you don't advance timing but you still run higher octane, you just have a slower burning fuel, which has no benefit, but the difference is so small that it's not going to be harmful either. The only difference in this case is the money wasted by people thinking premium is better/cleaner/more efficient/more powerful, which is marketed by oil companies, and preached by many qualified technicians and knowledgeable forum gurus.
@@joezaleski6142 Coping about what, great torque? Turbos are awesome, :)
Sorry my ego isn't fragile that I need a V8 to feel better
"This is the truck that I would consider and I am not really a truck person". Ford wins.
I have the 2.0L Turbo 4x4 XLT, with Off Road and Tow packages.
At a little over 6000 miles, my average mpg is 32.4 and still gaining . . . love my truck !!
Thanks for sharing !!
wonder if you would bust over 40 mpg with the tailgate off or down or with a shell or tonnaeu cover
Ordered the same hybrid blue with sunroof and copilot, expected delivery in may 2022. Will sell my wrangler jku to get this.. Im an suv type of person and this will be our first pickup truck. Things i will need time to get used is the small cargo. A Flat bed isn't as big as a suv cargo with rear folded seats. Impossible to sleep horizontally flat in a pickup truck especially on road trip. It seems powerwindows on the maverick open very slowly. We will however use low octane instead of mid octane with current gas price. Anyway, two more months waiting..
the maverick i REALLY want is the max tow but with a hybrid. 4000lbs means you can pull a good sized fishing boat without a lot of trouble, and the hybrid means you get 40+mpg when you're unloaded. idk what the issue is, maybe the battery interferes with the necessary reinforcements for max tow? or maybe they dont think the hybrid has the power. frankly, a little more power would be nice. imagine this, but with AWD and like 20-30 more horsepower. it'd be perfect.
I agree! It’s like they intentionally avoid the sweet spot and I just don’t get it. Why not make all wheel drive with 5k tw rating?? And 40 mpg? A better hybrid motor?
My problem is no dealership has them they cannot get them! If you can't get them how can you buy them duh
I’m surprised Ford even offers the ice version for the Maverick, maybe in the snow belt? 🤔
I’d help you move but “my truck is too small.”🤣🤣🤣
Better than using a truck with a 6"+ lift😂
The Mav bed is only 6" shorter than a crew cab Tacoma or Ranger fyi.
My 2.0 blows past as well. 34 highway and around 30 mixed. Very impressed.
This is the truck I'm getting, albeit in the Lariat.
I don't think anyone can get the hybrid this year. Every dealer is backordered
I want one of these trucks so bad. Sucks that Ford severely underestimated demand and stopped orders months ago.
Some time ago I read to get an accurate mpg
reading you need to drive 90 miles or more.
Ford has been surprised to ,learn about 70%
of ALL mav sales are to businesses. One
business lesson Ford is re learning is that the
cheaper a products price is, the more that will
be sold.
!
Fantastic way to test that truck. Keep this type of stuff coming!
Super Unleaded ?
Im pretty sure Eco mode isnt the best for hwy driving because of more aggressive regen breaking? Idk though
I observed that on my escape as well
Isnt that the point of ECO?
@@cesarpalmos8235 most say it’s for stop and go city driving
Eco mode reduces throttle sensitivity so overall it's good for fuel economy except for the most extreme hypermilers.
Too bad ford turned it into an overpriced unicorn.
Nice! I still can’t believe people don’t make MPG a major factor in their consideration of a vehicle. It can save you thousands and thousands of dollars to have a more efficient car.
Generally people start considering better mpg vehicles when gas prices increase. As they say timing is everything. Ford tagged it with the hybrid Maverick
That time is now buddy.
Except the demand already far outstripped supply, so the oil crisis won't make a difference here
@@Bwillev Yep, the price of gas not going down only up.
Because that truck cannot pull my 14,000 lb trailer. That’s why.
That store needs to change their name. NuffSaid
I was thinking the same thing, that has got to be the worst name they could have used.
I am very interested in this truck. Come this time next year i will have the financial flexiblity to able to get one.
I wish we could get them in Australia.
Love my maverick! Xlt best bang for my money seeing up to 52 mpg
Does it share anything with other lines (Explorer, Taurus, etc)?
My old Honda CRX goes 50 miles a gallon now that's insane in the late 80's early 90's .
I had a 1990 civic that got 45 mpg. Since then emissions have become much stricter and safety requirements have added a lot of weight.
Isn't this the same gas station that TFL uses for their loops?
Put 93 octane in will get even better especially with marine fuel.
I was able to find a Hybrid one at Hanslee Ford of Northern California, but the dealer quote $8,999 dollars over MSRP! With other fee's thats about 50% markup over the base price of the car! It's absurd. Any of your area dealer at MSPR?!
It gets better gas mileage in the city than on the highway? That is insane but in a good way.
Hybrids have pretty much always been this way. Being able to drive on electricity at low speeds (undr 40 miles per hour) and no idling at stop lights gives you big MPG in town.
Thanks for this video. Sub and Like added!
