A GAME CHANGER! // 2022 Ford Maverick FX4 Mechanical Review 

Winner, winner, chicken dinner

I was just in the process of listing the same when I saw your post. You beat me to the punch!

Yep

Came down here to say exactly this. Commenting for the algorithm gods. 👍️

As I looked at it, I was thinking the exact same thing, and then I went to check to see if anybody else commented... and congratulations! We paid attention in science class 😁

I was confused too and I speak Spanish 😂😂 that’s not even Spanish 🤣

Was just going to say the same thing

Came here to say this

That helps to recycle it later.

What’s your commute like? Do you have the hybrid or 2.0? Miles/week? Traffic? Mpg? I commute about 500 miles/week in my grandmothers 2012 focus. It’s at 112k and still has some life left but I’m seriously considering a Maverick when the focus gives out.

@@willadams8558 I've got the 2.0 Ecoboost XLT w/FX4. If the majority of a tank is highway and I'm trying to be conservative, I can get around 30mpg. Average when combined with city miles is closer to 24/25mpg. I'd definitely keep it in mind and try driving both drivetrains to see which suits you better!

@@MA5T3RX That’s not too bad at all. Thanks for the reply

Maybe for recycling purposes?

Aluminium lol

I would have thought the woman who pronounces Al as aluminium would have hopped right on this! :)

Indeed. A quick Google search pulled up AlSiMgCuMn is often names 6056 Aluminium alloy specifically for extruded billet, extruded and drawn products. Sounds about right for lower control arms.

Came here to type the same thing.

It would be an excellent truck but not the best selling, maybe outside of the USA

Parts has been a problem industry wide. I work at Subaru, and we haven't been building the Ascent for a week because of a lack of parts mainly chips. But also some of our supply contractors have Manning problems.

@@carholic-sz3qv I could see this being popular in Europe.

It's the Ford mustang of the truck world. As a Subaru Baja owner, it sucks Subaru was an easy 20 years ahead of it's time. Its my second and I freaking love this truck. And to be able to now buy a hybrid version with a lil more ground clearance, even from Ford, is awesome. Rumor has it they're adding awd to the hybrid options. Fx4 hybrid?? Absolutely. Sold.

i think certainly as a year 1 sales record on a fully new vehicle it could have made records as you said if they had the capacity

Junk Subaru is better, nobody cares about Ford.

@@kingchakazulu7762 Ford F150 largest selling truck on the planet. 40th straight year. Guess that's a lot of nobodies. ; )

@@kingchakazulu7762 subaru is junk lol. Head gasket junk motors lol. Not to mention they look like old people cars

@@mvc2177 Yup, i had a WRX, the transmission blew up while it was in park, biggest pile of junk right behind the F-150 i owned.

@@kingchakazulu7762 Ford was just ranked in the top 5 for brands who's cars are most likely to last 200k or longer. You see ford's that are decades old still running all the time, they're the go to brand for pretty much any industry that needs to rely on its vehicles. But sure, they're junk lol.

Thanks!

Poor simp. You know it doesn’t come with a chick in shoe skirt right?

Its a unibody. No frame on which to bolt any other bed. Its going to be hugely popular, so you can count on companies like Decked to build storage solutions for the bed. And it already can be bought with a windowless shell on the back that has side opening doors for access to tools.

It will be automatic and a V6, stop it son.

those aren't street tires.

I agree... towards the end I was sitting up rooting for the maverick like it was my favourite team

Your probably right, but why would they stamp that on the control arm?

You are right. It's recycling related to mark the parts. Englisch (UK) This alloy is one of the best for chassis parts

I love a roll up rear window. My favorite thing about the 4runner

@@christopherfranklin6277 I kind of miss the old smokers vent windows by the windshield too. Wouldn't need AC much if you had both.

A bit disappointing though that the 'full size' spare is not the same size as the tires mounted on the vehicle. Had i known that i wouldn't have paid extra for it.

@@muldoon493 Well crap! I also paid for that option. Still waiting for mine to be built..

@Oxford Winchester yes I know……

Mavstick indeed! Good call.

@@luisamoa2500 it's called practical! What truck do you like? Let me guess, Toyota!!

@@luisamoa2500 my condolences

FWD sucks!

@@jay.0621 Don't get one then.

@@anthonyarnold5855 nope! getting an awd ecoboost!

@@jay.0621 Enjoy

@@anthonyarnold5855 will do! if u need to tow more than 2k,holler at me....

Yes same here. Weird name choice. The original Maverick if worked on was a great sleeper car with an engine swap. The old factory stock Maverick was at best a malaise era grocery getter.

They could have brought back the Courier name.

I know right

@@hairyballing9901 Before making a ridiculous statement regarding Ford's marketing of the Maverick. You might want to take a look at the Maverick's success before making your statement. The 2022 Ford Maverick has thus far proven to be a hit with consumers, earning awards including 2022 North American Truck of the Year and taking just four days to turn on dealer lots amid a successful social media campaign. It didn’t take long for the very affordable Maverick Hybrid to sell out for the 2022 model year, At least Ford used the Maverick name on an outstanding vehicle. I'm guessing that many younger customers haven't a clue that Ford manufactured a Maverick car from 1970 - 1977. That's 45 to 52 years ago. but Ford hit a home run with the new Maverick using the correct name and solid marketing

Grandpa gave me his 72 mav sweet car!

Yeah, it earned them.

its an eco boost, I would avoid it for longer term

First you have to find one!

@@Mach141 there are many EcoBoost with well over 200,000...people tend to abuse smaller engines with higher horsepower, thinking they are v8's..maintained & driven sensibly, they will last...

@@andybales7318 it's easier just to avoid them.

@@Mach141 The 2.0 is a pretty solid engine

Seeing all the other reviews where the SUVs and other trucks fail on the big hill, this is impressive.

Haha, they should call it a Compi instead of a Raptor then!

I don’t want people to take them too seriously in that aspect, I feel when all we focus on is spec sheets it makes a review boring. So I put the data in where it counts in the garage.

We ordered a Mav XLT Hybrid in July of last year, and it is finally supposed to be built next week. Hope this post doesn't jinx our order.

I'd go the other way; I'd lower it a bit and put some slightly lower profile tires on it and some cool wheels.

I think someone actually did that. I might have to do some research.

I've only had a few cars that I really got attached to. The Veloster N and the Lexus RCF were two of them.

@@SarahnTuned Thank you for your reply. :)
