5 Things The Ford Maverick Got Very Wrong

Clearly you just haven’t gotten used to it yet. Auto hold is something you will definitely get used to. Seatbelt indicator can be turned off. Eco mode doesn’t really do anything anyway, just lugs the engine and kills your AC power. The hybrid noises are mandated from the government. It has to make noise to warn potential pedestrians of your approach when in electric mode. And lastly your water bottle situation is definitely a you problem cause any regular sized bottle I’ve used, fits no problem and like it was designed for it.

[@joshuagurholt661]

Owned my Maverick Lariat with the Lux package for 2 months now and I have none of these issues or small grips 😂 All I have to say is that for the daily commute and helping haul the occasional small thing it’s an amazing truck with good gas mileage.

Is it a hybrid? How much snow or winter conditions can the FWD handle?

[@johngaskey218]

The noise is meant for the blind folks that need to move about. When hybrids first came out, blind folks were getting creamed because they relied on hearing a car coming, in battery mode, the original hybrids were silent. So, the noise actually saves lives.

[@snarktwain644]

For me the rotary shifter (and all rotary shifters) is the biggest fail, especially in an emergency situation like having to quickly reverse if someone is backing and doesn't see you. You have to completely readjust your muscle memory from gear shifters.

Weird how your emergency brake stays on so your car doesn't accidentally run you over

[@gmedellin2010]

At 72 years old, every car I've driven, and there have been many, I have always had to release the "emergency" brake manually every time I got in to go somewhere. Even 18 wheelers. Why would/should the Maverick be any different? Just push the button!

[@justicecenter]

The button he is speaking about is not for the emergency brake it’s for the hill hold feature. It uses the emergency brake to hold your vehicle on a hill so it doesn’t roll backwards moving your foot from brake pedal to gas pedal. As soon as you push on gas pedal the brakes automatically release.

[@larryspiller6633]

Remember when those E-brakes use to freeze up in the winter? I do. Still, we used them........... most of the time. Stores used to have signs in parking lots reminding us to set them. A few cars ended up in traffic.

highway driving is really the only place to use eco mode. and thats probably why it turns off when you shutoff the car, because when you start your car your not sitting on a highway, your in the city or neighborhood.

are you sure eco mode doesn't really just adjust the throttle response since it is drive by wire? that is how the prius/ct200h work, and I actually get better fuel economy in sport mode than I do in normal or eco. Try which ever mode has the best throttle response and practice hyper mile technique. Also you waste less gas the quicker you get up to speed instead of taking forever to get to 60mpg.

These aren’t “issues” as they are across many brands. My Hyundai has a pop up on the media center that stays for about 30sec or so to pay attention to driving and will go away prematurely if I click “confirm”. Defaulting to normal vs eco (or whatever) is the right thing to do. I have a 2020 explorer that’s the same way and that’s GOOD. I have a teardrop camper and I wouldn’t want the vehicle to default to tow after I’ve used it. As far as the auto brake thing, I am glad that remembers the preference and as it fundamentally changes your behavior while driving, it SHOULD remember your choice. Water bottle slot complaint? Please. Settle down. There’s roughly 3836638 different bottles to choose from on the market. If compatibility with that slot is important, get a bottle that fits. Hybrid “whine”? I have no experience or opinion. Again…not “issues” unless you think a vehicle needs to be custom fit for your specific needs rather than appeal to the most amount of people as possible.

I understand your frustrations. We have a MINI, it always put the car back into Normal mode regardless of the mode you had it in previously. In regards to some of the other issues, we had a Mazda CX-5 and it had the autobrake feature. Guess what? It always shut off after you shut off the car. I found it annoying because I wanted it on most of the time and I would pull up to a light and yep, autobrake not on. For me, whatever the settings were when I shut off the car, unless there is a safety concern, should be the same way the next time I start the car. The noise, sadly I think all hybrids make those weird noises. A Prius is one of the loudest vehicles I have ever driven slow in electric only mode.

You don't really want the Eco mode because it makes things slower and it just drives better in normal but that's my opinion in the EcoBoost version. I think eco mode is like for long road trips. It's like a one MPG difference probably, probably 0 mpg once you reach cruising speed. Because all eco mode really does is make it accelerate like you're driving I don't know an old Volkswagen or something

[@JBanksy78]

Exactly, you put it in eco mode when going down hill to get most of the regen

[@maxlvledc]

The eco mode is the biggest one for sure. Still an issue?

[@TobiB89]

Are you trying to find a new niche since there are too many mtb youtubers now? Is a name change coming? "dailyfordmaverickdriver" sounds sweet

[@ethanguidry312]

Do you have any issues with your phone Bluetooth disconnecting? Because I sure do. But I’m happy to say that’s the only issue I’ve had

[@MrJuanAverage]

I have one on the way (someday) but wondering if on your next video maybe include a clip of loading your bike on it just to see how it fits and looks

[@28chadz28]

Hi I have a 22 ecoboost model, But I don’t have that seatbelt screen on my model I do agree with you on the water bottles for the door tho, But I did want to ask how did you get a model with out the orange stuff on the inside I kind of don’t like mine with the orange accents did you take yours off or is that how you got yours?

[@SlowHippie]

XL and Lariat trim don't have the orange.

[@RDJ1SS]

I think the seatbelt thing is a setting, I never turned it on. Good to know so I keep it off.

[@chrisediting]

The seatbelt issue btw doesn’t show on my Lariat Hybrid goes away immediately

[@tedwalker1370]

Yes. It should be in economy mode unless you want to chose performance on your own.

[@slingbart705]

You are so right! Hey FORD reprogram the darn computer already!!!!

[@Denali_Rebel]

Or it could just remember what you left it in. I don’t want to have to switch out of eco every time i get into the truck either.

[@davelee9087]

@@Denali_Rebel "Default" is another word for someone else thinking for you. Last setting would satisfy most owners.

[@POTBELLY15]

These are some of the dumbest complaints and like 90% are user error. That water bottle spot does fit hydro flasks that’s like the designated size they went for

[@marblewallop]

Gotta be the stupidest complaints I've ever heard and I'm not a big ford fan

[@will4real58]

Drive modes have never started on in any vehicle I've driven.

[@martinchen3838]

The economy mode issue is the same in my 2019 F150. Not a big deal and btw there's not a whole lot of difference in gas mileage between normal and ecomode for my driving locale and style. No big deal.

[@chrisward8521]

I can say it's not all Mavericks on the OK for seatbelts. My Lariat does not do that.

[@williamhenderson1161]

So no real complaints then.

I’m with you on the seatbelt issue, but how could you overlook the heinous drive gear selector. HATE the circular knob!

That's funny I love it. So much easier to use. Left is park. Right is drive.

Thank you! Me too. "Oh we're trying to save space" No you're not you're trying to save money and turn everything into an appliance. A LOT of people prefer to grab something when they shift gears.

[@gwcrispi]

How hard is it to have an option in the menu that is: Startup Mode?

[@rangersmith4652]

There should be a way to set up the car then have it remember your preferred settings every time. Ford could provide a firmware update to fix these things, but who knows when or if that will happen. But brake hold is not a setting; it's a temporary effect. It should be programmed to turn off when the vehicle is turned off.

[@jamesscherrer1642]

Like the cooled seats in my Lincon. Why can't that setting be saved when the car is turned off? That bugs me but not to the point I'd start my own Yu Tube channel and rant about it. Did he purchase this vehicle on line and without test driving it as so many do these days?? Yeah. Trust the Internet, right? You won't experience anything of a negative nature happening to you that way but if you do, just return it... right?? lol. It's not a pack of T-shirts, Dude. CHECK IT OUT FIRST!

@@jamesscherrer1642 Anyone who gets the opportunity to test drive a Maverick has to have a friend that owns one. Finding one at a dealer is like living in Fantasyland!

[@Ericles2]

The only issue you rose that I can agree with is the drive mode one. The others are laughably knit picky.

[@Joe4show]

I have a hybrid maverick, the economy mode not staying on is the only bad thing about it.

[@dennisrodriguez6232]

Bro 💀 stop complaining! The lazier we become as a society, the more we complaint 🤦🏽‍♂️ It’s Clearly this is your first Hybrid. That “ambulance” noise is to alert pedestrians a vehicle is moving. I went from a 37k F150 to the maverick and I like it’s simplicity. Really unnecessary review in my humble opinion

[@garrykraemer8993]

I've had my Maverick 2 months now and I 100% agree on the items you describe. I have 30 db loss of hearing and I have not noticed the ambulance chasing me! I'll listen more closely, I'm sure it is behind me. I also hate the small mirrors up in the corner of both rear view mirrors! The Maverick has a big problem with blind spots! Please add it to your list! When I started driving it I almost side swiped a car, by not intensely staring at the small mirrors. Granted I'm 75, but I should be able to see the car beside me in the big portion of the mirror. I believe the mirrors can be enhanced greatly by changing the optics! Economy mode should be the default mode! Please Henry, make it quality "ONE"! In other words, make ECO mode #1!

[@archiesutton1291]

I'm with ya, I don't like the mirrors, too small

[@mrvwbug4423]

The spaceship noises are so people can hear the truck coming when it's moving on electric power alone at low speed, all EVs and Hybrids with an electric only mode have this.

[@rhar1044]

Either that... or UFOs are attracted to Mavericks and follow them around. 🤔

At 4:00 you say the brake hold makes you look like a moron, while you are wearing viper glasses, crocs, and a mustache 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why can't we (as EV/Hybrid vehicle owners) have the Vehicle make sweet V-8 to V-12 Sounds, (Like in the movie with Adam Sandler and Kevin Smith)?

There is only 1 thing the Maverick got VERY wrong. And that is not having an AWD Hybrid.
