Since its debut, the Ford Maverick has exceeded all expectations. Within a week of its launch, the truck’s $19.995 starting price attracted more than 36,000 reservations. The Maverick’s hybrid powertrain was able to deliver 42 mpg within the city, making it even more popular.
Initial estimates indicated that the new Maverick Hybrid would achieve a combined 37 mpg and a 13.8 gallon (62.7-liter fuel tank), which would allow it to travel more than 500 miles (805 km) in one fill-up. The Maverick Hybrid performed even better in real-world tests.
One owner of the Maverick Truck Club forum, who goes by the name Mavforever claimed that their Maverick Hybrid covered 595.2 miles and had 24 miles left on the tank. The accompanying photo of their instrument cluster corroborates that claim, showing over 269 miles of electric range. This results in an average fuel efficiency reading 44.1 mpg.
These numbers suggest that the Maverick could easily exceed the 600-mile mark. The claim is supported by members of the forum who have reported similar results. This means that impressive numbers don’t just belong to one owner.
It is important to note that the original poster’s driving style, road conditions, and test route were not disclosed in the forum post. It’s still good to see that the compact truck can deliver on its promises – and more. The Maverick is clearly winning in the game of “expectations against reality”.
This efficiency can only be found on the Maverick hybrid two-wheel-drive. The EcoBoost powertrain, which is not hybrid, is the best choice for those who require all-wheel drive. The EPA rating of the Maverick EcoBoost is lower at 22 mpg in city, 29 mpg on the highway and 25 mpg together.
