A someone who lives in the rust belt, I look under this vehicle and see a lot of exposed overlapping steel weldments that are prime for collecting salt to rust apart from the inside. Not a big deal for me, since my first step as an owner of this vehicle would be to fluid film every nook and cranny before it sees salt. But the average owner is unlikely to do that. Two things really stood out to me during the walkthrough, the fully exposed vapor canister and associated hoses I would feel a lot better about having a plastic shield covering it to protect it from direct road spray and debris. Second, the exhaust system is terrible, there is way too much rust on it for a new vehicle and the fact that it includes a special heat exchanger that likely won't be well supported via the aftermarket makes it a very expensive system to replace. I know they're building this truck to a price point, but honestly, the exhaust should have been a higher quality of steel/stainless to make it last a lot longer. A few too many corners cut to make that low MSRP for the base model.

Hi! Unfortunately you are wrong. That rust on the prop shaft is due to a special material named CORTEN. It was created for alowing superficial rust that protects the inside material. It is also created for avoiding the necessity of painting the material and therefore a better and ecological choise. In time becomes gray instead of rusty. So, it is not a bug, it is a feature. Sorry for my english, I am not native english speaker.

@@TheAnnoyingBoss Actually, you are the moron here. I don't know if the half-shafts are made with COR-TEN, but if they are, then a protective patina of rust is a deliberate characteristic of this copper-chromium alloy steel; its technical designation is ASTM A606 Type 4. It was originally developed by U.S. Steel in the 1930s, tho' didn't become popular until the 50s and 60s. It is commonly used in applications subjected to the elements, but where paint or other coatings are not likely to last. Interestingly, its first use was in the construction of railway cars. You might want to offer Vali Vali (and Ford) an apology, because it is pretty clear from your comment that you are clueless.

@@javelinadad yeah I agree man. It makes sense they sources cheaper materials to keep cost down but if we think about it for a second, that means the vehicle wears out faster and in the long run we probably might even lose more money. It should be affordable but why so complex? If it was a little less complex they could afford the better alloys or whatever material they decide which is less likely to rust or fail due to cheaper manufacturing ECT. 🤔 It's tough, it's hard to get a bug expensive factory to produce something that lasts and is good price.

Where are you getting this idea that O2 sensors ignite the air/fuel mixture? I've never heard of such a thing. The heat from the combusted exhaust heats up the O2 sensors and Cats so they can operate correctly. Modern O2 sensors need to be heated up by an internal heating element, like a glow plug only to get up to the required 600F temp to operate and produce a voltage, but they don't act like a glow plug for the purpose of igniting anything. Older, single wire, O2 sensors didn't even have a heating element. The catalyst process is independent of the O2 sensors and will operate on it's own.

Good pacing of conversation, not so fast the pitch of voice went up (high or squeaky) but enough to keep the ADHD people (like me!) on point and paying attention. The level of detail was good for the audience (me!) some gurus may have been bored. I think it also gave enough hints for those who wanted more on where to research. It is funny but the laser pointing, and the conversation or comments to camera guru actually add significant impact to those who learn differently such as through motion or give and take conversation.

Also on the 2.0 the aux. water pump electrical connector hangs down at bumper level and was broke off.

If this truck is as reliable long term as a early 2000's Honda Civic or Toyota Camry than it's an ideal economy vehicle and worth every penny of it's bargain price. However, if it's plagued with long term issues like most economy Chevy and Ford cars it's setting up people for years of frustration and lost money. I wish I had a crystal ball that could see into the future to know if these new bargain priced hybrids and electric vehicles coming from Chevy and Ford will actually be reliable long term. But looking at the level of rust on cheaper components, I'm expecting it to be a junker past 100,00 miles.

Now working a 2015 Ford Focus, a very nice car, with odd shift feel to gain good gas mileage, but never needed to bring it in for anything outside oil & tires.

Soon you'll see many of the people who swore they loved it to death selling theirs right before it becomes unreliable which will probably be sooner rather than later for many. That's what I believe. I see it lots these days In The auto industry because the vehicles are so complex people are worried about hanging into them long term so it turns into a big game of hot potato. the BMW dealer be cranking up every model he has to move around hoping it doesn't pop a check engine light or the trunk open button doesn't just stop working for some reason before anyone even buys it

Would love to see the same walk through for the AWD because that's the one Im interested in. LOL Guess I'll be replacing the exhaust when its time :)

This is simple but reliable not so much and if you are thinking "it will last the warranty" maybe but resale will be almost none existent.

15:11 I'm an insurance adjuster and have had two vehicles total recently because the exhaust was jammed into the frame causing it to bend. Could be to either absorb or deflect the energy away.

09:53 That black bar going around the battery pack must be scavenged from their parts bin too. It has several brackets on it that are not connected to anything.

The downstream one is same as my 2003 PZEV focus , it is a 2-way catalyst not a 3-way. The upper 3-way is a mani-cat. bolted straight to cylinder head. The fast light-off of the primary cat is because it is bolted DIRECTLY to the cylinder head.

Nice to see the underside of my Mav, curious though so much rust on the underside already I think I will take mines in for some rust proofing. Thx for the vid.

Totally fine as long as you get one of the lower cost versions. If you live in a rust state and buy a $35k version of this…yeah…probably a smart move.

@@GHinWI Everybody has a pressure washer these days. When you wash the underbody after the roads have been wet with snow and ice you can prevent much of the rust. Then, in the spring , drive on ramps and paint where there might be a small rust problem. Use Fluid-Film. I grew up where exhaust systems were replaced every 4 years. Here in south texas the underbody of 20 year old vehicles can be pretty clean with sun baked clear coat issues common. WIndow tinting helps preserve the interior - or the inside could be cracked and ugly. In the past many didn't want to keep their cars for that long, but the average is more than 12 years and is not uncommon to drive 25 year old vehicles - we can't afford to replace cars as often as we once did. Trucks tend to be used for much longer than cars.

@@timothykeith1367 : re-wetting the underside of the car makes the rust problem worse. Dry and salty is tolerable, repeatedly wet-and-slightly-less-salty is a recipe for corrosion. Fluid film is definitely a good idea, but my experience is that it washes off easily.

Thanks Jordan for your intreresting and detailed insights into how Ford has designed its new entry level Maverick. Bought new entry level Fords for years. It was always best to trade them in after three years. Hopefully as Ford moves to all electric they can build vehicles with lower annual upkeep costs.

@psdaengr911 Жыл бұрын

This looks like a disposable vehicle, not a keeper, but something to get an unwary first time new car buyer to buy a Ford. Unless the sheet metal is a better material that the running gear, these won't survive as long as the first gen Japanese small pickups did, and they will be much more expensive to maintain or repair.

Any vehicle with a li-ion battery is not a keeper… cost to replace the battery costs a lot of $$$ & CO2 in mining, manufacturing, and transportation of the components & module.

@joedogmckeel Жыл бұрын

I know the hybrid has a smaller fuel tank than the ICE version. I just wonder is there enough room under the Hybrid to put that larger fuel tank in and maybe even extending the range of the hybrid even more. I do plan on getting the hybrid in the next year or so. If that would work it may be a mod I may consider after some warranties run out.

The Ford Maverick... A Frankenstein Design, borrowing pre-designed/manufactured parts, to coble together a very economical small "truck." Question is, how durable/reliable will they be after hard 5-10-15 or 20 years use ? Traditional Ladder Frame Trucks have an indefinite life, if frame/body is not rusted/damaged beyond repair.
