You claimed that the Maverick has a CVT transmission "that has some downsides" (04:09). Wrong. The Maverick has an eCVT transmission that employs planetary gears and bears NO mechanical resemblance to a CVT transmission with belts. Moreover, eCVT transmissions have proven themselves to be very reliable in real world use (and smooth, as your noted while driving the Maverick Hybrid), unlike CVTs that have a bad reputation that you alluded to in your video. I suggest you do your research and get the facts right on the vehicles you review.

Received my XLT hybrid last week. Love it! Smooth, quiet, feels roomy and stable. The trip summary shows me getting 45 mpg for my 30 mile trip to work. Gentle hills and traveling 40-50 mph.
The only option is a full size spare. Ordered it September 9. Received it January 13. 4500 miles so far. The overall average mpg is 41.5. Very happy with it. Average 50 mpg on my trip to work now for hat the Maverick is broken in. Hope you have received yours by now.
My trip to work is 30 miles. Gentle hills and 30-50 mph speeds. Now that the truck is broken in, the trip summary typically indicates 50-52 mpg for the trip. 4500 miles so far and the overall mpg is 41.5. Very happy with it. If you ordered one, I hope it has arrived.
@Upd Late it was kind of a joke. Everyone hates on the ridgeline because it's uni body, therefore not a truck. But the Maverick is also uni body yet it IS a truck. Very confusing
@@chrisnah8423 Cause it's made by a good ole 'Merican company like Ford! (Let's just ignore that it's made in Mexico and the Ridgeline, by parts, labor, and place of manufacturing is the most USA made pickup you can buy)

We have put just under a 1000 miles on our Hybrid XLT. The noise level inside is less than my 2020 Hyundai Tucson Sport. It is very comfortable to ride in and fun to drive. The speakers are not very good at volume greater than 6 or 7 but when we play music through the radio using our Sirius/XM APP, it sounds great at even higher volume. Our truck is used mostly around town as my husbands job is less than 3 miles away....but, we have taken 2 trips. One was about 400 miles round trip and the other was about 300 miles. Around town running mostly battery, we average between 38 and 50 MPG.( depends on traffic, stopping and starting, etc..) On the trips, we averaged 37 to 38 MPG running almost completely on gas. I am sure there is no other truck out there that can come close. We are thoroughly enjoying our truck and absolutely enjoying less trips to the gas station. By the way, the Maverick replaced a 2001 Dodge Dakota Sport that got about 13 MPG. Big difference for sure.
I love the yellow one since I have the Area 51 color scheme. Yellow and the Chili pepper red is also a great color! The best little truck that Ford ever made!!!!! I'll buy another XL model.
I drove 202 miles up to Wisconsin the other day in my XL hybrid. Going between regular and sport mode and averaged 45.9 mpg in mine. I think the main drawback you guys had getting only 32mpg is the fact you had it in eco mode which really only benefits low speed driving as it tries to use more battery only mode. But for highway all it’s doing is sending less power to the wheels for the amount of fuel that your using. Eco mode is designed for short distance stop and go destinations. And btw I was shocked when I drove those 202 miles and my gas tank was just over a quarter tank gone xD
This is in all Ford makes and models with drive modes. My little brothers 2.7Eco in his 2020 F150 gets about 3 mpg better in sport mode than in ECO mode when he is on the highway for long drives. This is him going from San Antonio TX to Lubbock TX straight, we were both like WTF this make no since. Then I had him use eco mode only when he was driving short trips around SA for work and what not and it gave about 1 mpg over is Sport mode long driving. Right now he gets about 27mpg at 75mph in sport mode on long trips and 28mpg in eco just doing short trips around SA. It's crazy.
@@TdrSld idk I’m getting about 40mpg on a bad day and 67 mpg on a good day for my 22 mile trips to work. My hybrid Mav has performed way better than expected
@@Flockingtheherd Thats great to hear, I am looking at the Hybrid to replace my 05 tundra that my mother mostly uses. As much as she wants the Bronco Spot, I really can't see not having a Hybrid right now. My 2010 tundra does all my towing so if I get a Hybrid for her to use and me to do the trips into town with it will help a lot on fuel. My poor 5.7l 4wd Tundra with 4.30's and 35's barely makes 10 mpg in the city on summer fuel. winter fuel I'm lucky to hit 9mpg lol.
I'm getting a Maverick very soon and have been watching videos on them non-stop. You did your video about 2 miles from where I live and it feels like I'm driving one already!
I literally drive 6 to 8k miles a month. Yes, a oil change every month and I have been waiting for someone to do a real world highway mile run. I searched and searched, so I am happy with this video. Nice job, 33 is good for me. Thanks

Hybrid semi-pickups are a welcome addition to the market place. I wonder how a traditional single cab pickup with a 6 foot bed, base 4 cylinder engine and a modern transmission would compare in highway mpg and capability. The Disembodied Voice of Charlie® effect 6:55 is always a pleasant surprise.
My 83 Ranger diesel would average 30mpg when I was driving it to work 45 miles one way. I got as high as 36 on a trip once and that included going to the top of Pikes Peak. Toward the end of it's life on shorter commutes all I could manage was 26 mpg. 70 mph was as high as you'd want to go for any extended driving. It had a 4 speed. 59 hp!
@@keithwiebe1787 Yes, there used to be a lot of truly small, lightweight pickups on the market. I cannot accept a truck with a bed smaller than 6 feet.
@@DailyMotor One very important 'truck' consideration is tow rating. Trying to tow a trailer up a steep boat ramp with a FWD vehicle can be extremely ....exciting. The decent tow rating number claimed by the hybrid Maverick means nothing if all the traction is at the wrong end of the vehicle.
Nice highway test but most people drive a combination of city and highway. My hybrid Maverick is averaging 39 MPG. With my 2016 Camry the same trip was getting 25 MPG so the trucks MPG is a big gain for me. I was also surprised to learn that my yearly auto insurance went down $400 because of the added safety features as I added copiolot 360.
The 2016 camry will probably out live the maverick lol but jokes aside it might actually out live the Camry if they built it like they built the ford escape hybrids. Ive seen quite a bit of them with more than 500,000 miles with the 2 speed cvt needing minor repairs. I have a 2007 ford escape hybrid with 200,000 and it still runs like its new
So..I just put 450 miles on one of these with at least 400 miles of that being interstate at 70-110mph..average I would say 85-90mph. I wasn't easy on it, either. I reset the trip computer right before this. The trip computer said that I got 32.4mpg. I didn't do it by hand though (wish I would have). Pretty happy with that..
I believe I live near you guys, Belleville Michigan, I am waiting on delivery of my 2023 maverick lariat Black appearance package, I will be willing to let you use my truck for a review if interested
I was very interested in a hybrid Maverick. Unfortunately, you can't order a 2023 until summer of this year. 2022s are all sold out. Apparently Ford didn't want to make too many hybrid Mavericks when they can make more of the higher end FX4s and bake in more profit.
They are building like 6k Mavs a month and around 40% of those are hybrid. The production line is shared with other vehicles. Been waiting 5 months on a Hybrid build date myself but I can't be mad given supply chain pressure and the pandemic
Eco hwy mpg is similar to hybrid even with way more power. You can still order eco now, find a dealer that orders at msrp they are out there. For dirt roads to the campsite, driving in snow, or 4k towing, awd is worth every penny. You also get upgraded independent rear suspension. My Mav eco awd 360 lux 4k was $30,710 including shipping. That's 1/2 the cost of a full size. Buying a base hybrid with a big markup to 30k or more off the lot makes no sense because that will buy a lot of gas. And if you wait for a 2023 hybrid, msrp likely to go up again since inflation was announced at 7% last month. Ford has to pass increased costs to consumers or they won't survive.
I suspect the hybrid would shine a lot more in stop and go city traffic. That's generally the case with hybrids. It would be interesting to do a stop and go loop, that would be a lot hard to do a comparison between two trucks. I think the EPA says 40 MPG. Definitely not bad
44mpg. TFLTruck got like 40mpg average with city and highway as well as a 1500lbs payload test on a ranch. Prior to the test the payload test, said it was doing 54.
@@Tylnorton That's pretty damn impressive, For people that only need a light duty truck, landscapers or even small construction, or somebody that just wants a vehicle that's a little higher off the ground easier to get in and out of and don't want to drive a Prius or Camry Hybrid or something like that. This is absolutely a fantastic choice.
@@Tylnorton some people drive like a lead foot, i think 33mpg test in this video SUCKS! and its a let down, but alot of people more then 1/3 drive like clowns anyway, jack rabbit starts at red lights only to fly to the next red light, going from 0 to 35mph in 4 sec,, those are lead foot clowns!
Front wheel drive for hybrid??? For fuel efficiency as ford said? Goodness sake the electric motor can be use for electronic awd system for additional traction help without using gas engine whats up ford?
Huh that is not much more then my Ecoboost Mustang Premum which gets 25MPG over highway and I have floored it a collpe times... just does not care 25MPG for me... But then again it is lighter.
Gosh it's tiresome to hear people say it's good for the price point. My question is if it were 40K - the average cost of a Good car- would you still say this is a Good vehicle? If the answer is yes. Then nevermind saying it's good for the price point. Just say this is a great vehicle. Good mileage and ride. Smooth acceleration ect.
But the price point is a huge part of the appeal. I'm sure there's much better options out there for 40k. But for what you can get sub 30k, it's a good buy. From what I hear everything is acceptable, not exceptional. That's about what is expected for a pickup at that price
HI. ALTHOUGH YOU DID A GOOD JOB IN THIS "COMPARO" TEST, AND I THOUGH THE PICTURE QUALITY WAS REAL SHARP AND CLEAR, I'M SORRY, BUT YOU ACTIVATED ONE OF MY "PET PEEVES" I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE HAVE "JUNK" BLOCKING THE VIEW ON THEIR WINDSHIELDS!! ESPECIALLY THE LAZY GUYS THAT LEAVE THEIR HANDICAPPED SIGNS HANGING ON THEIR MIRRORS, EVEN THOUGH THEY ALL HAVE PRINTING IN BIG LETTERS : CAUTION!! REMOVE BEFORE DRIVING!! I KNOW YOU THINK YOU CAN SEE AROUND THE CAMERAS OKAY, BUT, SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, AND YOU MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON RED, SOME IDIOT IS ALWAYS GOING TO STEP OUT FROM BEHIND THE LIGHT POLE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, AND YOU WON'T SEE HIM IN TIME!! OTHER THAN THAT, GOOD VIDEO!! CHAS ORVIS, PLAINVILLE, CT.
Only highway miles.. so not a real test.. everyone knows hybrid in the Maverick is better for city driving.. The 2.0 does better highway.. alot less in the city .. do the same test.. 50 miles only city.. then we get to know the real numbers!.. Also the hybrid gas tank is smaller than the 2.0... so figure that in too!
It amazes me how people worry about fuel mileage when I never really seen a hybrid get poor fuel mileage. Most 4 cylinders get 25 miles to the gallon so anything over that is a bonus.. Personally, I don't purchase a vehicle based on fuel mileage as I purchase a vehicle based on it's capabilities. That's just me as I find fuel mileage irrelevant on modern vehicles. That's just my two cents on the issue.
Thank you I completely agree. Unless - you drive 50K a year, then the gas really does add up but not for most people putting 15K a year on. For me the Hybrid maverick is the right vehicle because I love that eCVT and the smooth acceleration. I also don't like the sound of the EB - high pressure fuel injectors and all the extra stuff to break. But NOT necessarily worried or stoked about the fuel economy
@@mikesawyer1336 The most efficient time a hybrid is useful is excessive stop and go traffic. Most other times a hybrid is less efficient than a non-hybrid at open highway speeds. If most of your driving is under 35 miles an hour then the hybrid is perfect for you. You live out in the country where you only have two stop lights then a hybrid is practically pointless. They are exceptions though.
Eco mpg hwy not much different than hybrid. If this is a road trip vehicle for camping and skiing, you are better off with way more power and capability. And you can still order the eco now before the price goes up again. Ford can only build about 70,000 Mavs per year so with the pent up hybrid demand, my bet is getting an order in before Ford closes out 2023 MY will be difficult or impossible. You can be ahead of that crowd by ordering an eco now.
33mpg is literally what the window sticker says it will get. In what way is that disappointing? And yeah, you’re getting 28-30 in your FX4 because that’s what it’s rated at. If you do more city driving, go hybrid. If you do mostly highway driving, either engine is fine.
@@HEMi1995 Yes the hybrid saves no mpg on the open road because the gas engine is doing the work. If the truck will be mostly a road trip vehicle, get the eco with AWD and 4k tow for better suspension, more passing power and overall capability, like handling wet dirt roads to the trail or not have to stop and chain up on ski trips.
@@paladin3116 hmm also not true... Let's test that theory...Explain how hybrids are pointless on highways in the mountains smart guy? Hybrids are awesome on the steep grades due to the regenetive braking. With ICE all the kinetic energy is lost as heat. Plus, altitude does not affect the electric performance. I live at high altitude and hybrids/electric cars are everywhere.
Agree with Padadin. This was a terrible test of a hybrid's fuel economy as compared to the eco-boost drivetrain. Highway driving has the least regenerative braking per mile travelled.
When the cab is bigger than the bed, and iit runs on electric motors and batteries, it stops being a pickup truck and becomes a golf cart. That thing is a joke. I'd take a 1990 Ranger with a good V6 over that thing every day of the week. Then again, I actually use trucks for work, not commuting to work and the grocery store. LOL.
You clearly don’t know what you’re taking about. It gets 42MPG CITY and 33MPG HIGHWAY. Guess what this video was demonstrating… highway 🤯 hybrids are always more efficient in the city because the battery assists with stop & go traffic, increasing MPG. The battery does basically nothing on the highway, so more gas is used. Use your head, Pedro.
@@HEMi1995 False, my 2022 Toyota Camry hybrid gets 52 and 53 mpg only a 1 mile per gallon difference from highway to city, use your head miles come on man
You claimed that the Maverick has a CVT transmission "that has some downsides" (04:09). Wrong.

44mpg. TFLTruck got like 40mpg average with city and highway as well as a 1500lbs payload test on a ranch. Prior to the test the payload test, said it was doing 54.

That's pretty damn impressive,
For people that only need a light duty truck, landscapers or even small construction, or somebody that just wants a vehicle that's a little higher off the ground easier to get in and out of and don't want to drive a Prius or Camry Hybrid or something like that. This is absolutely a fantastic choice.
@@kens97sto171 Hell yeah dude. It's definitely a big step in the compact pickup/hybrid vehicle.
@@Tylnorton some people drive like a lead foot, i think 33mpg test in this video SUCKS! and its a let down, but alot of people more then 1/3 drive like clowns anyway, jack rabbit starts at red lights only to fly to the next red light, going from 0 to 35mph in 4 sec,, those are lead foot clowns!
Any thoughts about MPG and winter GAS..It's a well known fact winter gas delivers less fuel economy but more power.
Still waiting on my hybrid Lariat w/ luxury package.
Thanks for this. I drive mostly highway. So, for me the extra 3mpg of the hybrid is not worth the compromises. I am going with the 2.0.
actually my maverick gets 42 mph highway and 44 mpg city
Front wheel drive for hybrid??? For fuel efficiency as ford said? Goodness sake the electric motor can be use for electronic awd system for additional traction help without using gas engine whats up ford?
What camera do you use to record your drive?
Hybrids thrive in city driving.
What app do you use as a gps speedometer?
Take seats and carpet out put some sound deading on floor board. Bam done lol
I guess my question is does this hybrid activate the electric drive and shut down the gas when driving at highway speeds. The hybrid F150 does.
Generally no. Maybe only on a very steep decline.
I would like to see the same test not using the Auto climate control setting., just some heat if you need it.
I wonder if you drive it more conservatively would you get better mpg on the highway.
Definitely, hybrids get much better mpgs in town than on the highway so if you were to do 60 you could get in the 40s
where did you get 3.1 gallons? I hope you didnt use the pump to come up with that number, thats extremely inacurate.
For the maverick why type of gas do you recommend? 87, 89 or 91 octane?
87 unless you're towing with the 2.0T
tnks
I just heard on the radio that Ford is not taking any more orders for '22 Mavericks. They can't make them fast enough.
It's been said that you can get slightly larger tires on the blue one, yet requires paying about $800. for optional, uglier wheels.
Must be an engineer
That's not bad. I was getting 28.3 mpg going 78 mph in my jeep wrangler eco diesel. I'm sure I could achieve close to 30 mpg if i were to go 70 mph.
YA,AND how much did you pay for the Wranglers.
@@stephenanderson812 Does it really matter? It's his ride, not yours.
Huh that is not much more then my Ecoboost Mustang Premum which gets 25MPG over highway and I have floored it a collpe times... just does not care 25MPG for me... But then again it is lighter.
city driving is where hybrids shine
Uhem... forget about the Hybrid. They've stopped taking orders for 2022. You can't get one until 2023 at the earliest.
Wish the hybrid had a phev option…
Same
Gosh it's tiresome to hear people say it's good for the price point. My question is if it were 40K - the average cost of a Good car- would you still say this is a Good vehicle? If the answer is yes. Then nevermind saying it's good for the price point. Just say this is a great vehicle. Good mileage and ride. Smooth acceleration ect.
But the price point is a huge part of the appeal. I'm sure there's much better options out there for 40k. But for what you can get sub 30k, it's a good buy. From what I hear everything is acceptable, not exceptional. That's about what is expected for a pickup at that price
You should test the mercedes A45s amg and the A35 amg .
HI. ALTHOUGH YOU DID A GOOD JOB IN THIS "COMPARO" TEST, AND I THOUGH THE PICTURE QUALITY WAS REAL SHARP AND CLEAR, I'M SORRY, BUT YOU ACTIVATED ONE OF MY "PET PEEVES" I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE HAVE "JUNK" BLOCKING THE VIEW ON THEIR WINDSHIELDS!! ESPECIALLY THE LAZY GUYS THAT LEAVE THEIR HANDICAPPED SIGNS HANGING ON THEIR MIRRORS, EVEN THOUGH THEY ALL HAVE PRINTING IN BIG LETTERS : CAUTION!! REMOVE BEFORE DRIVING!! I KNOW YOU THINK YOU CAN SEE AROUND THE CAMERAS OKAY, BUT, SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, AND YOU MAKE A RIGHT TURN ON RED, SOME IDIOT IS ALWAYS GOING TO STEP OUT FROM BEHIND THE LIGHT POLE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, AND YOU WON'T SEE HIM IN TIME!! OTHER THAN THAT, GOOD VIDEO!! CHAS ORVIS, PLAINVILLE, CT.
Thanks for your note! We actually have that up intentionally so viewers can verify our speed.
Only highway miles.. so not a real test.. everyone knows hybrid in the Maverick is better for city driving.. The 2.0 does better highway.. alot less in the city .. do the same test.. 50 miles only city.. then we get to know the real numbers!.. Also the hybrid gas tank is smaller than the 2.0... so figure that in too!
So what’s the highway on the 2.0?
Build a plug in hybrid, and then it will be perfect!!
It amazes me how people worry about fuel mileage when I never really seen a hybrid get poor fuel mileage. Most 4 cylinders get 25 miles to the gallon so anything over that is a bonus.. Personally, I don't purchase a vehicle based on fuel mileage as I purchase a vehicle based on it's capabilities. That's just me as I find fuel mileage irrelevant on modern vehicles. That's just my two cents on the issue.
Thank you I completely agree. Unless - you drive 50K a year, then the gas really does add up but not for most people putting 15K a year on. For me the Hybrid maverick is the right vehicle because I love that eCVT and the smooth acceleration. I also don't like the sound of the EB - high pressure fuel injectors and all the extra stuff to break. But NOT necessarily worried or stoked about the fuel economy
@@mikesawyer1336 The most efficient time a hybrid is useful is excessive stop and go traffic. Most other times a hybrid is less efficient than a non-hybrid at open highway speeds. If most of your driving is under 35 miles an hour then the hybrid is perfect for you. You live out in the country where you only have two stop lights then a hybrid is practically pointless. They are exceptions though.
@@jamesm568 Yep.. I know that. Except for the eCVT and smooth transmission there is no good reason to buy if all your driving is highway
@@mikesawyer1336 The aspirated atkinson 4 cylinder will more than likely outlive the EcoBoost.
I drive 75k a year, so getting 39 mpg on the highway would save me $4000 a year. So my gas savings would almost pay my car note every year
id consider one if it wasn't so darn ugly
How can you win awards when the it just came out stop the bs
33MPG highway thats actually disappointing for the hybrid, I'm getting 28-30 on my Maverick Lariat FX4
Do you live on a highway only? Also it will be better with warmer weather .
Eco mpg hwy not much different than hybrid. If this is a road trip vehicle for camping and skiing, you are better off with way more power and capability. And you can still order the eco now before the price goes up again.
Ford can only build about 70,000 Mavs per year so with the pent up hybrid demand, my bet is getting an order in before Ford closes out 2023 MY will be difficult or impossible. You can be ahead of that crowd by ordering an eco now.
@@JamesD-HB yea just a few mpg less but definitely with warmer temps the hybrid will work better at the mpg
33mpg is literally what the window sticker says it will get. In what way is that disappointing? And yeah, you’re getting 28-30 in your FX4 because that’s what it’s rated at.
If you do more city driving, go hybrid. If you do mostly highway driving, either engine is fine.
@@HEMi1995 Yes the hybrid saves no mpg on the open road because the gas engine is doing the work. If the truck will be mostly a road trip vehicle, get the eco with AWD and 4k tow for better suspension, more passing power and overall capability, like handling wet dirt roads to the trail or not have to stop and chain up on ski trips.
Again why are you only doing highway tests and not city driving? People don’t buy hybrids for highway driving
That is not true
@@mikee2794 then your clueless
@@paladin3116 hmm also not true... Let's test that theory...Explain how hybrids are pointless on highways in the mountains smart guy? Hybrids are awesome on the steep grades due to the regenetive braking. With ICE all the kinetic energy is lost as heat. Plus, altitude does not affect the electric performance. I live at high altitude and hybrids/electric cars are everywhere.
Agree with Padadin. This was a terrible test of a hybrid's fuel economy as compared to the eco-boost drivetrain. Highway driving has the least regenerative braking per mile travelled.
@@mikee2794 It is true smart guy. Eco mpg hwy similar to hybrid even with way more power and capability.
You get a thumbs down for calling an ICE a motor. Doesn't give you much credibility.
Why is that?
When the cab is bigger than the bed, and iit runs on electric motors and batteries, it stops being a pickup truck and becomes a golf cart. That thing is a joke. I'd take a 1990 Ranger with a good V6 over that thing every day of the week. Then again, I actually use trucks for work, not commuting to work and the grocery store. LOL.
get rid of the intro
What a let down. Supposed to get over 40 mpg
For city driving, he was doing hwy driving so the mpg will go down but still impressive for a hybrid on the hwy!
You clearly don’t know what you’re taking about. It gets 42MPG CITY and 33MPG HIGHWAY. Guess what this video was demonstrating… highway 🤯 hybrids are always more efficient in the city because the battery assists with stop & go traffic, increasing MPG. The battery does basically nothing on the highway, so more gas is used.
Use your head, Pedro.
@@HEMi1995 False, my 2022 Toyota Camry hybrid gets 52 and 53 mpg only a 1 mile per gallon difference from highway to city, use your head miles come on man
