I DROVE THE FORD MAVERICK AWD HYBRID FOR A WEEK AND EVEN I CAN’T BELIEVE MY FUEL ECONOMY!

EV Channels Review

Mary concludes her week-long test of the 2025 Ford Maverick XLT AWD Hybrid, finding it surprisingly easy to live with, even for a self-proclaimed "non-truck person." She highlights its maneuverability, comparing its size favorably to a crossover or mini-SUV, and praises its comfortable ride and the utility of its bed for hauling items. A significant positive is the "insane" fuel economy, with the truck still showing half a tank after several days of driving. However, Mary expresses a dislike for the non-traditional rotary shifter and notes that the CVT, while fuel-efficient, can be loud and less sporty. The towing capacity of 4,000 lbs is deemed insufficient for serious needs but acceptable for her personal use. Despite some minor gripes, Mary is impressed, stating she would consider buying one and will miss the "little green frog" truck.
