If you lived through the 70s and 80s, you remember things like the 1 ton Toyota pickup with a 2300 pound load and 5000 pound trailer rating, with 116 horsepower. Or you could get a ranger with the big 2.8 liter V6 option that was rated to tow 5000 pounds with 115 horsepower and a huge 150ft/lb of torque. During that time, it was normal to see motorhomes, trucks with trailers, the obligatory VW bus, and semis struggling up grades like this at 25-35mph. The good news is that most cars were struggling to maintain the 55mph national speed limit so the speed differences weren’t that large. The best was hot days at elevation. Vehicles would overheat so you had to stop. Then carbureted vehicles would get vapor lock from the extra heat while sitting (fuel boils in the fuel bowl, exasperated by the lower vapor pressure at elevation) and wouldn’t want to start until really cooled down.

Ahh the memories. Vehicles are far more reliable and capable than they used to be. I grew up in the south and remember how all police cruisers had to idle with their hoods open to keep from overheating in the summer. And you didn’t have to be towing to overheat when climbing grades. The family Caprice or Crown Vic would have a temperature light on climbing the Ike in the summer at those speeds with just the kids and luggage in the back.

@@shuttlepilot_ so no manufacturer can make a car with the added utility of a truck because it has been done before? Not sure if you've ever transported leaking garbage bags, yard waste, wood, mulch, dirt, wet muddy gear etc. in a car, it's not very fun to do, or clean up. If you have to transport family and occasionally need a truck bed, a small bed like the sport trac or the maverick is a very handy vehicle to own. It's not for everyone, it's an option on the market for those that need less than a ranger (which has gotten quite big) and more utility than a closed cab car / wagon.

It hauls my bikes and boats without any issues and gets me 40 mpg on my normal commute to work. I put snow tires on the front for winter and don't need AWD.

Towing I get typically 12L/100km. The tachometer is usually at 35-45% power. Using the ScanGauge 3 it says 3,200-4,100rpm. The only time I felt like it was underpowered was on an upgrade hwy with crosswind, I saw the power at 55-60% and the rpm at 4,500-4,800

More useful than a "brake applications" test, which is crude and also goes against other important engine performance/efficiency requirements, not to mention variables with traffic, maybe it'd be better to put some simple thermocouples on some brake components and actually monitor the heat generated. I agree that aspect is critically important for towing - but actually having to use the brakes, how many times, etc seems like a pretty arbitrary standard. The exception might be if you have an exhaust brake, obviously a special condition not relevant here. I want the brakes to work - I don't necessarily care how many times I have to use them. It's obvious you guys care about producing useful results, that might be one improvement. (It'd also be really interesting to see how ambient temps affect brake heat. My guess, very little.

Really good test TFL. a couple mods I would recommend for the Maverick would be making it a bit more comfortable, add in some sound deadening to reduce road noise. Look at installing a windshield from a Lariat, SoundScreen, it really helps with wind and engine bay noise. A redo of the Denver mpg loop with some heavier tires. Also if you press the "L" in the gear selector it will give you max regen and compression braking.

Vehicles like the Ridgeline and Maverick really bring out the worst person you know - the guy who has nothing better to do but go online and yell about how “TheY arEN’T ReAL trUCks” and lip flap trying to fight with everyone in the comment sections. They have beds (and the Ridgeline has the bonus of the trunk built in), they tow, they have really great space on the inside to hold tools/carry family, they get good gas mileage, etc etc. It’s just a weird thing where you get this mix of old guys and middle age dudes who pretend they do so many things that they could never survive not having a “true” truck. The Maverick, Ridgeline, and I suppose Santa Cruz as well are genuinely great vehicles that offer so much to the average person. I’m a big truck guy, grew up in them, and I’m honestly jealous of the unibody truck trend because they offer so much for the average person

Surprised by the performance. In 1980, my Chevy Luv could barely pull itself up that hill. But, that constant humming would drive me crazy.

The eCVT has almost nothing in common with one of those horrible nissan CVTs with the metal band that burns up at 100,000 miles. It's a Toyota design from the prius that will outlast the vehicle if you keep the oil serviced. It gets noisy when loaded and climbing, but it makes other transmissions feel clunky once you get used to it. I love my 23 hybrid maverick

Some of our automatic cars (not CVT) also would drone. But like, our V6 van, it needs another gear, so empty it would be cruising up the hill at about 45-50 MPH at 3,000 RPM full throttle.

That’s a pretty darn good result. Probably ran out of usable electron supplement after like the first 30 seconds, so for most of the pull up it was just the 2.5 ICE providing oomph.

That was hilarious to hear i don’t think we’ve had a cvt staying at redline up the Ike since the Nissan versa video up the Ike 😂👍🏽 the no loss of power benefit of a cvt was very apparent in this video it was interesting to not hear the typical transmission hunting game take place

Better than expected fuel consumption on the uphill for that lil buzzbox. Andre and Mr. Truck Jr. had a good dynamic in this one, too! Speaking of custom hats for big heads, you can do no better than the Peter Brothers in downtown Fort Worth. World-famous and in continuous operation since 1911. Worth a stop next time y'all are passing through if you snag a truck down here in the next few. 🤠

Given the weight of any passengers needs to be subtracted from the tow rating, Case and Andre were probably ~400lbs over the max tow rate. And that's useful since people rarely take into account the weight of passengers when it comes to maxing out their tow vehicles.

The Maverick is a real truck for those who don't need a "REAL" truck. Not everyone needs to haul 1,000 pounds of gear or materials in the back or tow a 5th wheel RV. I am looking forward to the Toyota Stout and hopefully a Ridgeline Hybrid.

Man, if the AWD Hybrid had been out last year, I may have ended up with a different vehicle. I was all about the Maverick Hybrid, but no AWD was a deal breaker. I bought a Z71 Colorado and LOVE IT, but it was more than I wanted to spend and the gas cost is always a concern. That said, I don't fear of a lack of power for the Colorado and I'm pretty sure I can take it anywhere I am likely to go.

it’s not displacement in these smaller motors…is compression ratio since the smaller motors are turbo. i mean the small displacement doesn’t help but a 2.3t with 8.6:1 compression ratio won’t engine break nearly as well as a 2.3na with 10+:1 compression ratio.
