Excellent real-world drive to work!! One of the best new vehicle reviews I’ve seen in a while. Well done man.

[@enfelice]

Thank you, this was muchly appreciated as i patiently wait for my maverick. Love how your son is involved also. Well done informative video you did, thanks again.

[@dennisporter753]

Looks pretty good in the snowy conditions... thanks for sharing!

[@russellroutt3448]

Great video, just what I was looking for, thanks for making it.

[@angling_arrows]

thanks glad it helped

[@i4cchaos]

Enjoyed your video. Very informative, and, your co-anchor has a promising future...correcting you of course!

[@wikosable]

Shot out to the little guy, thank for the review bro

[@angling_arrows]

He loves the feed back

[@nycmaverick]

Bold move to get the FWD model In your area. Good video for those thinking a FWD truck is not capable.

[@angling_arrows]

Haha I actually went to dealer to order the AWD and an unsold hybrid unicorn actually arrived while i was there so I bought it. I still ordered the AWD just in case.. Stay tuned in 4 to 8 months to see which one I end up with.. That said if you're used to winter conditions a front wheel drive should get you though any conditions you need to be out in. My issue is muddy back roads I hunt and fish on . thanks for watching

[@nycmaverick]

@@angling_arrows Your assessment on the traction control system is correct when in deeper snow. Anything over 4” you need to deactivate the TC to get that wheel spin. I have the AWD 2.0 and I have a video going through about 10” of fresh snow on my channel. Check it out. I support small channels like ours . Keep up the good work. I subbed.

[@angling_arrows]

@@nycmaverick awesome I'll check out your channel

[@NYMikeandMore]

Great video!! Keep these coming 👍

[@angling_arrows]

thanks

[@buckeyeblessed392]

Great video. Being new hybrid owner I was wondering about traction in snow. Thank you both!

[@johnmanley1161]

Thanks for the video. In rural Nova Scotia, so similar driving conditions. Mileage looks the same as I'm getting in my 2017 Forester, so no real advantage there. All the best boys!

[@angling_arrows]

Alot better than my F150 .. I figure if you're getting below 7 or 8l/100 in anything it's as good as it gets .. the price of the hybrid maverick is a selling point

[@deadglory]

Thanks for this! We're in Newfoundland as well (Torbay) and we just pulled the trigger on an AWD Maverick. If you see one going around Stavanger with a 120 lb German shepherd hanging out the window, that's us! Lol, great video man.

[@angling_arrows]

haha funny I'm in torbay as well . I also have an awd ordered. I like the hybrid but need awd .

[@deadglory]

@@angling_arrows that's crazy, small world buddy! The dealership told us there was a guy making good KZbin videos here in NL about the maverick so I had to look you up lol. We wanted the hybrid originally but we work during storms and all hours of the night so we ended up getting the AWD just to be safe. I'm glad we did

[@stevenrussell5937]

thanks for the upload! great to watch

[@erickrobertson7089]

If my conversion math is right that should be approx. 62 miles per 100k and 2 gallons for 7.9 liters giving you an average 31 mpg for winter driving in your part of Canada including warming up the truck. Not bad and it looked like it handled your snow all right enough. I noticed that you did not have the Continental all season tires on that truck. Can I ask what you replaced them with and why the rears as well? Unrelated but I had a instructor (librarian @ Winnona, Minnesota) in college who was originally from Saint John's. It looks like the snow you get as opposed to where I'm from tends to be heavy and wet which I guess makes sense given your loacation. This was an honest video about winter driving. No ideal conditions from the Sunny South or California where they don't have to put up with the months on end of the white stuff. Thanks for the upload.

[@angling_arrows]

there's a bunch of questions in there to reply to. lol. my fuel conversion admittedly sucks . but I think you're close for sure . our snow is normally quite wet and heavy.. I could have done a video of driving though 2 ft of light lluffu powder but trust me the 5 or 6 inches of heavy stuff is worse for driving in .. I upgraded the tires to a bf Goodrich AT the dealer gave me a small credit for the stock tires.. I'm impressed that you questioned the ats kn read as well .. I recently watched a maverick where a guy in a state with mild wnters was to just put snow tires on the front and save money ... well I've driven alot of miles in the snow recreational and professionally... and my experience has been if you have less aggressive tires on the back it will fish tail or slide when braking or turning in slippery conditions. I responded to a few accidents as a firefighter where this had happened. ..lastly it may have been a typo lol but saint John is in New Brunswick.. St.John’s is in Newfoundland... I know someone who flew to the wrong one once 🤣🤣 thanks for watching and the comments

[@angling_arrows]

and sorry about my typos in that.. but I'm not retyping lol

[@keyhere]

Really wanted AWD for my next car but I get by fine with fwd car right now so I’ll probably go with the hybrid and save some money. Seems to get along fine, thanks for the footage!

[@angling_arrows]

I'm kind of of the same mind set .. so I guess we'll see. I've actually ordered an AWD maverick. But not 100% if I'll go though with it and sell the hybrid or keep the hybrid I got a few months at least to decide. I'd love to see the AWD hybrid released but my uneducated guess is 2024 model year.

[@keyhere]

@@angling_arrows you’re probably right, they can do the AWD hybrid easily since they already offer than on the Escape, but they have no incentive since they can’t build enough to keep up with demand already

[@JamesD-HB]

@@angling_arrows Since you get 2 trucks for the price of one, I would keep both. Hwy mpg is almost the same so use the AWD for road trips for more capability and safer in weather. Use the hybrid as a commuter. Or sell one for a profit. Whatever you do don't just give away your potential profit to the dealer by telling him you will not buy. He will high five his Mgr as you walk out the door and probably ADM +15k.

[@angling_arrows]

yes hybrid

[@keyhere]

@Thor Odin son every time you slow down, all that energy you spent speeding up disappears in heat in the brakes, why not grab that back and reuse it! No need to have such a pessimistic outlook, well made hybrids are a big part of the future.

[@leadnsteel1428]

Front wheel drive is better than rear wheel drive in the snow. Also Bridgestone blizzaks are the best winter tires.... But the mileage doesn't seem too good. They say the Ford Escape hybrid can get 900km on a tank. I have a 4x4 chevrolet colorado diesel which I love. It gets me 1000km on 76 litres.

[@angling_arrows]

The blizzard are a good ice tire but if i recall not as good in deep snow. The chev diesel engines get great millage . a Buddy got has a 1500 diesel gettkv less than 10 /100 that said with the warmer westher the hybrid maverick is down around 7l/100 included towing a small boat

[@Quest4Unknown]

Just covert to standard for the 98% of us lol digging your take tho. Thanks from the mountains of Sierra Nevadas

[@angling_arrows]

Awsome and always fun to hear where viewers are from

[@sombojoe]

My Maverick got stuck in my cousins muddy driveway last night!

[@angling_arrows]

That happens sometimes. 🤷‍♂️

[@rockobeam2706]

Ugh I want mine to hurry up. Cactus grey too. Glad to see it's OK in slippery stuff. On Vancouver Island BC I might need to drive in the snow a few times per year.

[@angling_arrows]

front wheel drives will certainly get you around in most winter conditions..A good set of tires is a must for snow however.. There certainly seems to still be a huge delay in getting the mavericks built.. I'm still not sure if I'm gonna to keep my hybrid or get the AWD I spend a fair bit of time on woods roads as well as towing.. I was really hoping they wound announce the AWD hybrid. but no talk of it yet

[@jamesservitillo5746]

I wasn't confident about the FWD in the snow, but if it can tackle snow in the martimes then that's all the proof I need.

[@angling_arrows]

I've had no issue in around town driving with the front wheel drive maverick even though last bunch of years I've had 4x4s. The biggest thing is to immediately toss away the " all season " tires that come stock and get a good set of winter tires

[@scottmurphy4946]

As a Martiner that always uses winter tires with a car, my biggest fear is not my car going into the ditch, it's the other drivers who think they can go fast with bald all season tires

[@stevenrussell5937]

you should make a video launching the boat

[@angling_arrows]

I can certainly include that in next fishing video

[@nickfraser422]

excellent fuel consumption. Always Ford for me My Mondeo or Fusion is regularly 6 ltres per 100 kilometres

[@mrfroopy]

I missed it.. do you have snow tires or All Season?

[@angling_arrows]

hesvy duty mud and snow tires. but leave on all year.

[@mrfroopy]

@@angling_arrows Thanks.. yes I figured

[@swapsplat]

What snow tires did you get? Because there's no way the factory "all weather" tires are going to perform well in snow. I'm in Minnesota and I'm looking for something economical for a commuter that handles well in snow. My Ford f150 gets 18mpg. I had a jeep that was amazing in the snow but it got 16mpg. I'd kill for 40 with the gas prices today.

[@angling_arrows]

I have the BF Goodrich all terrains (also says Baja championship in small letters) they are a 10ply or load E ... I bought them at the Ford dealer.. around 1200 Canadian which is probably 600 us. lol ... I run them all year and am getting 10l/100km city and 8L/100km highway .. roughly 25 amd 30mpg .. which is exactly what the EPA rating for maverick is .. I had them on the front wheel drive hybrid last winter and keep them for the all wheel drive I have now .. no complaints

[@TangoNevada]

How about on hills? How does it perform? I have a steep hill leading to my house (only way in).

[@angling_arrows]

If there's no snow you shouldn't have an issue.. Up hill in deep snow you may as with any front wheel drive.. Check out the video 15,000 km update .. the intro will show you a very step gravel hill ... let me know what you think of the climb cheers

[@thischickknows]

Ever have a hard time starting up with the hybrid engine on super cold mornings? We get to -15F max

[@angling_arrows]

The fuel economy certainly sufferers but no issue starting in cold.. our Temps often drop that cold

What tires do you have?

[@kurtfirestone2761]

Which tires are you running on your Maverick

[@angling_arrows]

Bf Goodrich TA stock 10ply stock size

[@ayushkashyap3807]

what is the size of your tires would really appreciate if you could answer this question i have same exact truck

[@angling_arrows]

225/65/17 They arw small size as stock tires. They are BF Goodrich AT 10ply because I drive on alot of gravel roads. The aggressive thread pattern worked great in the snow .. ( remember to turn off traction control in deep snow.) I purchased them at my Ford Dealer actually were a decent price. Hope this helped safe driving

[@ayushkashyap3807]

Bf Goodrich AT .. had installed at dealer before I picked up truck.. they gave a small credit for stock tires

[@angling_arrows]

it's a necessary purchase when driving in snow

[@TechDude56]

Traction control has never been helpful once the vehicle gets in heavy snow. I've had to turn it off also on my Outback.

[@angling_arrows]

agreed . same with my past vechiles as well . works pretty good when traveling at speed

[@jasonsouliere703]

I’ve found that in my previous and my 2018 RAV (my first ever AWD) the ecm detects any spin whatsoever and it’s like it throws up its hands and gives up! Nice to be able to turn it off and switch to 1st or 2nd. I haven’t been stuck long. Front wheel drive would have been more than adequate for me.

[@johnm4579]

I'm not sure about front wheel drive in snow, no traction. They should offer 4x4 with hybrid.

[@angling_arrows]

Actually the front wheel drive is really good in the snow. Most winter driving I had no issues and I work as a firefighter so I drive to work regardless of conditions.. It's mostly towing I had an issue with . But I agree 💯 make an awd hybrid

well crap... been years since I've done that .. it would have been fun... however I'm now driving the all wheel drive maverick ..so to late to try

[@johnreed1268]

"What are they aboot?"

[@toddsampsel224]

Truth is if you need more than a FWD with snow tires then you should not be on the roads ..

[@angling_arrows]

I agree in alot of cases .. But here in St.John's Newfoundland there are alot of hills and poor snow clearing.. Having awd is certainly a bonus. For me personally I tow alot in the winter and also am a firefighter so I drive to work regardless of weather. I actually traded the hybrid for an awd maverick .. gonna be posting a few more videos of the awd in the near future . cheers

[@toddsampsel224]

@@angling_arrows In your case an AWD is probably very helpful.. Thank you for your service as a fire fighter ..
