The wildly popular small truck was caught testing a new electrified powertrain.
The compact, affordable, and adorable Maverick pickup is so popular that Ford had to stop taking orders, but that isn't stopping the. We nabbed spy shots of an interesting tester that is clearly both all-wheel drive and a plug-in hybrid —a combination not currently on the Mav's powertrain roster. It also potentially shows off a new engine being used in this hybrid drivetrain. Let's dive in and see if we can't get some extra details on this new small but capable truck.
Now that we're past the truck's launch, it looks like Ford is finally moving forward with an all-wheel-drive hybrid. The good news is that the Maverick was designed for a hybrid AWD design from the start. While the front-wheel-drive Maverick hybrid has a 1.1-kWh battery, it only takes up the passenger side of the raised rear floor., and going AWD likely requires the extra capacity.
Some comments on Facebook and an interesting email from a"crosstown rival fuel systems engineer," this"2.1L" might be a reference the size of the emissions system's carbon canister. Because the engine isn't being run all the time in a PHEV or even a regular hybrid setup, the canister usually must increase in size. This is because it can't be regularly purged of the vapors from the gasoline in the fuel tank.
and hinting at being more capable when the pavement ends. Also, if you look closely, the air dam made into the standard Maverick front bumper doesn't look to be present on this tester's bumper.
