5 Things i Hate About My Ford Maverick

[@semcaj]

"If It's raining and I open the door, the inside gets wet" told me this wasn't a serious review

[@Aaron_Voltz]

Yeah, I'd like to see one stock vehicle that could pass that test 😄

[@pabs5270]

No shutter on my 22 hybrid. Smooth. Ford has been making hybrids for 15 years. I like the eCVT. Put it in ‘sports mode’ if you like shift points. Bluetooth work good on mine. So many good things about this truck for the price point.

[@gradeabrandon186]

Why is getting water in the car when it’s raining an issue. That’s all cars

[@rustkotetotalcare]

i cant explain but it drives me nuts , when im rushing to get kids in the vehicle and pop open the doors everyone gets wet!

[@MarcoPolo-y1k]

No offense, but it sounds like the competition paid you to come out with these meaningless complaints.

[@rustkotetotalcare]

and who is the competition?

[@timothyburchfield2220]

I didn't see one thing that rose to the level of HATE in this video. Annoyances, maybe. Why anyone would think that a smooth acceleration is worse than an acceleration interrupted by shift points is beyond me.

[@rustkotetotalcare]

being a "car guy" - yes its a smooth acceleration, but its like being strapped on the back of an industrial vacuum cleaner, and the video was just content/ opinions - overall I am very pleased with the maverick and its MPG was my 1 and only reason of buying it...

Thanks for the update Karen

[@sysdocray]

I'd bring your Maverick in to be checked for updates, as the Electric to Gas transition is super smooth on my '23. Other than hearing the engine under load, many times I'm not sure if mine is in Electric or Gas/Hybrid mode. The power delivery is also pretty good to point of actually feeling 'peppy', without the typical rubber-band feeling of a traditional CVT. I've driven Nissan & Subaru CVTs, and the Nissan was by far the worse in that respect. The Maverick eCVT feels a whole lot better, with more a direct connection between throttle input and response from the drivetrain. By the way, the BT issues don't seem to plague the Lariat with Sync models.

[@rustkotetotalcare]

thank you for the recommendations!, I wonder if im feeling more transition since I mostly drive in ecomode?

[@dannyalley3753]

@@rustkotetotalcare No you have a problem. Take it to the dealer.

[@TheHR1973]

My brother’s XLT bluetooth is very spotty. On my lariat is okay so far..

[@bigd9848]

I have the 2024 eco boost xl with AWD. I like the power and the pickup no turbo lag. The sport mode is fun it shifts fast at a high rpm. The rain thing bothers me as I like my vehicle clean. I’m not happy with how the kick plate when you get out gets scuffed up especially when my kid gets out the passenger side.But all in all I’m happy with the truck.

[@jackieparisi5120]

Is this on a hybrid or non-hybrid and that you have issues I plan to buy one please let me know I do not want the hybrid I want all-wheel drive

[@rustkotetotalcare]

this vehicle in all these vidoes is the hybrid XL version.

[@jackieparisi5120]

I live in California

[@jackieparisi5120]

Play the biggest thing he did say about hate is technology should be better than it should be Afro. How many models and as big as the company is for the technology from apple or Android or sync should not be doing what it should be doing by being spotty going off and on I do understand that the other stuff doesn't hate it's just pet peas. But in general yes, the quality of vehicles could be better. Look at where they send it to not trying to be a hater, but build countries in America. Yes, America's don't always build the best, but stop building cut cars at other countries just to make a penny or save a penny. It was a good video, but in general, it was a good video. They learned some things I did not know in vice vercause. I'm good advice. I'm not a full-blown technician myself. But I do tinker myself on cars. Maybe there's something he said that I didn't understand or there's things I could tell him about cars but it was a good video but maybe he does a different word than saying a pet pee or something like that. There are things that we can't account live without understand I'm looking to buy a Maverick. I am the early 50s as a toy as a second vehicle. But still overall, I like the video I live in California. Southern California, maybe a little spoiled down here. Commander, I have lived in. Other states, what's the bad weather? But I wan to buy the car for performance.

[@dannyalley3753]

SO when you bought this vehicle did you notice there were no drip rails.? When you stepped into it did you not notice the step down? as for the motor/engine shutter? You have a problem with yours mine is smooth as glass. By the way Toyota was in partnership with ford on the creation of the engine and transmission combo. I do agree the radio sucks but I have found if I restart my phone itself. It will unstick itself.

[@rustkotetotalcare]

i will have to look into bringing back to dealer. and thank you for the recommendation for phone.

[@Kojack65]

Kind of upsetting to buy something you like only to encounter problems once you take ownership of it. It hurts the brand. I never encountered any of those issues with my ford ranger it always ran well and was super reliable and got great gas mileage being a stick shift an in line 4 with two spark plugs per cylinder great motor design by ford.

@@dannyalley3753 Yeah, it can move stuff as designed. Got very close to payload once with lawn top dressing. Think that was the closest I got to it actually struggling, and that was more the brakes than drive power.

[@andrecheats]

​@Combatpzman i was looking at the hybrid but went with an awd 4k tow instead. The gas mileage is only like 25mpg for me, but i think the trade off for awd and able to carry more is worth it

[@Cayman192]

I've owned a ecoboost lariat maverick for a month now. I have minor complaints nothing I really hate. Like the rear view mirror sits really low, as a taller person the mirror sits right in my field of vision where I would usually see traffic from my right coming to a 4 way intersection, or roundabout. The cubby beside the infotainment system, too small to fit anything useful, not angled enough to hold in change, but fits my wallet so that's OK. And the mud/rutt modes locks me out of higher gears so going 25 on a gravel road forces my engine up to 3000rpm which kills my gas mileage in the long term. I live in alaska so there's a lot of loose gravel and dirt roads.

[@minusx31]

Nice rims you threw on that…

[@Aaron_Voltz]

0:40 My first documented oil change (I did the first myself at 1,300 miles, then at the dealership at 5,000), the oil change tech got mud on the door sill and that trim piece. I cleaned up their mess, did some research and found door sill grip tape. Now it's easier to clean and provides grip for those who insist on stepping on the door sills. Lastly, try the "reboot" procedure for the infotainment. Press and hold both the power & the skip track forward buttons until it reboots. Should do the same as turning the Maverick's ignition off then back on.

[@watermenjohn4574]

If you’re gonna go small truck why not get a functional kei truck that actually has a use? And $44k for a lariat? 😂😂

0:51 you hit it right on the dot, my grandpa struggles to get in my Maverick because of that 3 inch indentation. There was no point for that to even be there, plus I’ve had headaches with all the dirt that the indentation catches off my boots. I love this truck but yet I hate it because it makes it so hard for my grandpa to even get in.

[@rustkotetotalcare]

Yes, it sits low like full EV but why do they need it so low if there's no batteries?? sorry for your grandpa! but god bless that hes still able to get around with you

[@LastMinuteGarage]

There is a very big point for that being there. There has to be a frame somewhere even if it's unibody. With the potential to haul 1500# and tow up to 4000# it has to be significantly strong.

[@rustkotetotalcare]

[@58shortboard]

I have a 2024 hybrid maverick and would have to agree on 4/5, my cvt seems to be fine. But, everything else is spot on. Overall, I do like my maverick, it’s fairly comfortable, not the fastest but peppy and loving the 42 mpg combined. Yes, combined. But, I could see getting a Toyota hybrid truck in 3 years too

[@rustkotetotalcare]

nooooooo , not going from Ford to Toyota haha but sadly I will say Toyota makes a top notch product, with minimal flaws and extreme reliability.

[@Crusty_notch_fox]

I have the same Bluetooth issue on my Maverick as well, but I think it is Apple issue because I have the exact same issue on an aftermarket radio in my Foxbody Mustang.

[@rustkotetotalcare]

would make sense that apple doesnt want anything to work aftermarket ... haha

[@ramonahumada4]

Brothers! Have you driven a 2021 Corolla, Camry, Rave4 hybrid? I had all 3 and trust me, everything you just said about the Ford is also apparent in the Toyo’s!!! Ford actually has a way better transition with the engine and electric system! I’m now an owner of 2 hybrid Mavericks.

[@rustkotetotalcare]

what do you need 2 for?! thats good to know

[@ramonahumada4]

Wife and me!

[@ramonahumada4]

Just so know my wife had a year old 2021 Toyota Venza limited, and she sold it after driving my 22 Maverick first edition with all bells and whistles including sunroof. That’s why we have 2.

[@rustkotetotalcare]

@@ramonahumada4 thats awesome to hear, im all for older toyota jdm's but nice to know you have 2 Fords at home.... American car companies can build something right!

[@Combatpzman]

OP, Nah. This thing a a pile of junk. Compared to my previous 08’ Camry Hybrid the Mav has a lot of problems, electric gremlins, poor build quality. At least the power train is fine. Cannot say I have the rough transition from electric to gas though, unless it’s cold.

[@bradbarefoot2986]

Turn off the "VPN" setting on your phone ... connection issues will go away .... as for the rest, call a wahh-bulance. I've driven a Ford Hybrid with the same power train for 11 years we bought new. Hybrids like slow starts an stops ... ya can't drive it like your stole it.

[@elistewart1780]

Funny how the transition from electric to gas has a shudder and shake, which is a negative. But when there are no gears to shift, and they remove that shudder and shake - it's a negative as well.
