So while the eCVT is physically mounted to the gas engine, like a traditional transmission, it can be driven by either the electric motor or the gas engine? The only CVT I have minor familiarity with is like in a Honda Civic, which is not a hybrid; which only has the gas engine to drive the wheels. When accelerating, with a Eco Maverick, you the engine RPMs going up, then a shift, then RPMs do down; and repeats as it goes through the gears. Does the hybrid had a similar sensation?

Will the truck engine continue to run if the lithium-ion battery dies?

I have heard that you will get better regenerative braking / coasting by keeping it in L (low). Doing so will also save wear on your brakes.

I want a Plug-In Hybrid AWD Maverick Lariat. PLEASE

Best tip for improving mpg's? DON'T use Sport mode. But, dang it sure is fun to zip around and turn heads in this great little truck.

Just appreciate someone explaining it correctly when you think about it makes sense teach the homelink system the code the remote is sending then teach the opener the new transmitter

I averaged 47.6 mpg with just over 8700 miles in 14 months. I had a Prius C prior to getting my Maverick and drive them about the same way. Coasting to stops, gentle accelerating from stops and use cruise control at speed limit.

Thanks Tim for doing the video. I'm already doing the things you suggested except I use the "bar" guide which allows one to see exactly what the engine and electric combo are doing. However, I'm still interested to what is going on deeper in the system. Takling to Ford engineer might have all the answers. Like how to maximize the 'L" setting. I use it sometimes to add additional braking when the distance between me and the car ahead doesn't allow for long coasting. But if you drive in 'L" all the time, it tends to use more rpm for the same speed so I don't use it that way. I have to believe to a small degree that if the "L" setting is used frequently, it will make the front tires wear more than the rear tires as friction is being created due to rolling resistance. Whereas the brakes would yield a more even wear if not using the L. Where I live we have hills so the best I have gotten so far is 46 mpg and I try very hard to max the mpg I can get out of a gallon of gas.

One thing I do to get the best MPG is to put it into the ECO mode... Also antisipate your stops ahead so you can 'coast' to put more power back into the hybrid battery... Great vehicle !! ..Love mine... 23' Lariat hybrid...

Is that 23 Hybrid available? 😊

Did you end up selling your Maverick Tremor? Considering selling mine, gauging market interest and there are very few used comps on the private market as they are very rare. Any suggestions or resources would be extremely helpful! Thanks

I have a 2016 Ford C-Max Hybrid.When I let off the accelerator or brake,my battery regenerates. I pretty much do the same as you.Use the gas engine to accelerate and let off of the gas and it goes into electric.

The best that I have gotten is just about 42 mpg. The best way is to accelerate quickly and then completely get off the gas and then get back on it and it goes right into EV mode. I really like my truck!!!!

Can I get a rv for the truck

I want to get one in the future

The key to the Ford hybrid system is keeping it in the EV range. The maximum speed you can drive exclusively on electricity is approximately 45-47 MPH. Thus, optimizing MPG requires driving within the pure EV speed range. If you live somewhere with rolling hills, you use the gasoline engine to go up, letting off as soon as it is safe and letting the EV do its thing going downhill. If you search for 'hypermilling' on the Maverick Truck Club forum (or in general), people have all kinds of advice on optimizing your MPG to get 600 or more miles from a gas tank. It's a badge of honor to hit 800 miles from a single tank with a Maverick Hybrid. You didn't mention the hybrid's gasoline octane advantage over the Ecoboost. The hybrid can use regular gasoline, while the Ecoboost requires premium. If Ford offers a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) Maverick, the difference (compared to a hybrid) is that the driver can drive in EV mode at any speed for approximately 30-35 miles. We have a 2022 PHEV Escape that is driven 75 miles round trip (20K miles/year). It drives like an EV for approximately 32-35 miles and as a hybrid for the other 40-43 miles (there is no charging station at work). It delivers an average of 71-73 MPG. The best part is that you don't notice the engine kicking in unless you mash the gas pedal. 🙂

Good video!

I Use the brake coach all the time. The whole trick is to coast as much as possible. Anticipate your stops so you coast more than brake. Actually the less you brake the better. Keeping the brake coach bar from showing white while coming to a stop will give you 100% score. I drive 20 miles a day round trip for work and that is driving from 35-60 mph but mostly over 45 and I get regularly 44mpg.

The level of intellectual curiosity and passion among us is contagious, inspiring me to delve deeper into the topics discussed.😚

Only real problem ever with mine was going downhill on a winding I-40 from Knoxville to Asheville, in that situation it's engine raced numerous times. I tried different driving modes and none seemed to be any better than others. This is the only time I had an issue, other than the normal grabbing brakes at very low speeds, like under 10 mph. This being very annoying when trying to pull up slowly to one's own garage. Overall happy with this vehicle. As with all hybrids, they get terrible mpg at high speeds. I once got 21mpg at a steady 87mph. about 9500 miles on mine and it has been round trip coast to coast. Makes a good appliance and they WERE a good deal in 2022 and before.

Great overview of the Hybrid System - Every vehicle should have a hybrid option! - Thanks

is the specs on this 2020 white label the same as a 2018 white label? only asking cause I have number 26 of 200 made for 2018, I recently bought one

I have the option to turn my car off but can’t turn it on. Why???

Nice! Add adaptive cruise control and it will be perfect!

I bought a 2023 ford ranger last year . One more thing that's not related to this topic. The microphone that you have looks like a speaker from back in the 70,80 drive in theater lol .

Would need a supercharger with 4WD and bigger brake kit for the extra power.

There is more to the setup than this. If you do not follow the set up from the manual then it will not work

Does your definition of a refresh preclude an AWD hybrid ,,,?

Where do you enter owner performed service records?

Just ordered one for my Dealership 3 days ago because I had a Feeling they wouldn’t make the Everglades anymore and $$$$ Wise it’s just the Best Buy for what you are getting standard. I ordered it for ME, but ofc if a customer wants to buy it I’ll sell it.

The holes for the grease Zirk‘s on the lower control arm look like they should be on the bottom side not the top 😮

What a great video😊 thank you very much. I just bought this car today.🌸

If it doesn’t come with a whipple, I’m not interested.

Update is trash wtf location says its home when it left 10 minutes ago. Plus wtf range? I need my bar back

2024 C headlights look waaay better

Hate seeing dealers taking these and overpricing them now.

Just bought a used 2021 Edge SEL, very good tutorial.

Where did all the check trailer lights and zone lighting for ford f150 go?

My raptor ranger just got picked up finally ! August build date

So much longer left do I have to do a custom 2024 maverick order?

Ford needs to give a bigger size spear tire. The little donut that they give is good..but not so good. I had a flat tire already and the awd came right off because the explorer was off balance and i was no way near any tire shop. And after that long drive. The awd wasn't coming back on when the normal tire was on back on the vehicle. When you put into normal drive it was telling you that your terrain system is off. I had to go in the hood of the explorer and take of 1 of the battery wire off and let it stay for 15 minutes then put it back on to reset the car system..because no light was in the terrain system either like it was dead . Just because of the little tire.
