Finally had a chance to give it a wash and get a few photos.   She ain't perfect but that was to be expected of a 36 year old car with 62k miles.   It has its fair share of little door dings and dimples, the hood needs an adjustment or possibly a hinge replacement, one piece of trim on the pass side front fender needs replaced (I already have the replacement part), etc.   The interior is okay but, again, not perfect. A trim piece on the inside of the driver's door needs new clips, the review mirror needs re-glued to the windshield bracket, the driver's seat shows some wear, etc.   Mostly minor stuff but not as quite nice as I had hoped. Just needs some TLC.   Seems to run fine and not much signs of rust.   The underside was given an oil bath by the previous owner and that needs cleaned up with degreaser as well.   I am actually surprised by the amount of used parts that are still available for these.

I would not be shocked to see this in a factory package or at least as a dealer installed package next year.

It's rumored Ford modified the tremor CVs to somehow bolt into the hybrid. That's the theory at least. The '25 versions look pretty close to the tremors and are a lot beefier. It's now the go to part for older mavericks if they need their CVs replaced, they just swap in the better ones. 

I swapped mine out by trading for an actual Tremor, but yes, that seems to be the answer for the 22-24 2.0EB crowd. The Hybrid folks are on their own,,,,,,   Have not heard of anyone with a '25 having CV problems, so Ford probably upgraded those components.   HRG

This may sound simplistic but years ago when I had a Focus, it threw codes about misfiring.....I had done a tune up on it during an oil change and had put some fancy plugs in (don't remember which now). A buddy at the local Ford garage stated, "Put some Uncle Henry's (Motorcraft) plugs back in it...." I did and the problem went away.  

Very promising. The testing they're doing is most likely on private test courses, but if they start road testing soon, it won't be long before we see some prototypes. 

Would the R stand for race or recall?

Well, if you believe what some over at Maverick Truck Club dot.com are saying....they are failing as soon as they leave the factory or while on the train ride across the boarder.....lol

Getting back on topic Ford’s $30,000 Electric Pickup Is Taking Shape–And It’s Coming Fast    

Many of them are doing it - Toyota as well as one of the vehicles I was interested in before buying my first Nautilus (which went back as a lemon 🍋) was the RAV4 which was noisy, slow and even more cheap materials than their original "spartan" approach to builds. Ford's big push led by the ceo was for the electric vehicles and they concentrated far too much on those when the markets clearly were saying they are not for the masses.  I honestly have nothing against EV's, they do serve a purpose but for my driving style and long trips or towing long distances they are useless. And in the progression of my recent F150's over the years, my 14 King Ranch, then a 16 Platinum, 18 Lariat and finally a 2020 Platinum, I could clearly see just how far those had gone backwards. It is a truly fine balance between fair and reasonable profits while maintaining quality and features the customers want and/or need. Also look at when the Maverick was first introduced - massive appeal and they had customers lining up and could have built tens of thousands more due to demand, yet Ford said they were stopping production at a certain number, thus allowing dealers to grape customers with outrageous ADM's.   It's intro was similar in popularity to the original Mustang for comparison, which is truly rare these days. But heaven forbid they sell tons and tons of low profit vehicles.
