What's up, guys? Welcome to Blake's Garage! Today I'm actually in Detroit. What's up?

Guys, me and Carson are heading out to Detroit. We're heading to Ford Motor Company, so it should

be pretty cool. Landed in Detroit, waiting to find these Ford people. Should be pretty cool. Um, they said they got blue shirts on, so we'll see how that is. Hey, look at you guys! Look at you!

Ford sent me out, which is really cool. I got an email; I wasn't sure what it was all about, but

we're going to find out, and I'm going to talk about it. Uh, the new Ford Maverick. This is the

2025 Ford Maverick. If you can see right here, they did it! They started to make one that, you know, a lot of us guys that like to mod stuff

would want. So they made this trimmer version, which is really nice. Right here, I like this kind of sand color. I'll get the official color name

of this in the future, but it is pretty sweet. LED headlights, LED projectors in here that are

really nice. This different-looking grill kind of has that Bronco vibe, in my opinion. It also

has the active cruise control and all that, and this one even comes with some cameras so that

when you're off-road, you can see what's in front of your truck. It's got some heavy-duty tow hooks

up front, so that's pretty cool. Um, I don't know if they put a skid plate under here; that

feels like a little bit of a skid plate down low. Uh, this is plastic up front, so this is going to

get scratched up on rocks, but I feel it's solid enough to bang off a rock or whatever, so that's good.

It's got some sweet-looking stripes up on top here. The tires, I think these are similar tires

to what they run on the uh Broncos when you get those with the aftermarket tires, but this is a

Territory RT, so I'm pretty sure this is a hybrid, like an all-terrain or a mud-terrain. Uh, these are

a 235/65 R17. 17-inch wheels. So the wheels kind of have a hidden Easter egg in

them. This is the Maverick logo if you see it; this is kind of the head and the horns, which is

pretty sweet. That kind of rolled over from the last version, but I think this one looks a lot

better. Uh, up here you can see just standard kind of cloth fender liners, so if you start banging

around, it could rip some stuff up. I know people are going to want to put bigger tires on this

thing, just because. As far as the interior goes on this bad boy, it's got this nice-feeling, texturized

This is a—this is a plastic here. This feels pretty good, pretty solid. Let's give it the slam

test. It feels good; doesn't feel like a tin can. Feels quality, so that's nice. We'll jump into

the interior in a minute, but what I really want to know is if this thing goes out, it goes out. That's

like, that's one of the main things on any car; you've got to have that uh, no extra little guy or

anything like that. But we can adjust the sun visor, so that is very nice. Has a new Sync 4 infotainment

system. This is a 13.2-inch LCD screen. This is standard on these cars now. It's really nice.

It does have the temperature controls in here, but honestly, I'm looking at it right now; it's pretty

intuitive. Uh, some of the other newer vehicles with these touch screens, in my opinion, can get

a little jumbled, but I like how easy it is to get the temperature controls here. It doesn't seem

too difficult, so that's nice. We have a towing brake controller on the back here, and it has a

1500 lb payload, and this thing can tow up to 4,000 lb, which is really great out of one of these cars.

It gets amazing gas mileage. In the back here, we do have two USB-C's. It does look like there's actually

a power inverter in the back of this one, which is nice. This flips down in the back here; we've got

two more drink holders. So, as far as the tailgate goes on this, it's not like an auto, you know, auto

open or anything like that, but we don't need that because we know how to open a truck bed. This one has a

nice little truck bed liner already on it, so we'll talk a little bit more about the truck bed.

I like these adjustable modes you can kind of do with the uh, cables here. It's pretty simple to do.

Just pick that up, put it right back on the sides the same way; pick it up, put it right back on. It looks

like you have a bottle opener right here, from what I could tell. I think that's kind of an Easter egg

down there. As far as the back goes, you've got this nice little adjustable piece; this can slide for

tie-downs. That's very nice. Uh, these tie-downs look extra heavy-duty, too, in the back of the

truck bed here, which is cool. Um, there is a power inverter over on this side, so we actually have power that we can charge whatever electrical accessories we need. We've got a light back here as well. I want to check out this guy; let's pop up to... Oh, so on the back here... I saw on the old one you can uh, put your hitch in the back of here, but you might be noticing it kind of bottoms out. There is a bigger kind of area that you can put more stuff into, and then you kind of look at this and you go,

what am I going to do with the lid? You should be able to... I think I was seeing just like this, and then like that, and you're good to go. Now you have that whole open space and you don't have that little plastic piece. So I want to go low now. I want to go underneath because anybody that's going to buy one of these and try to take it off, like on a trail or something like that, um, which with the trimmer package, you know, you're going to be amped to kind of do a little bit more fun stuff with that. So I want to see what the rear drive unit on this looks like. I don't think it's going to be a regular rear

differential. Let's go low. Oh yeah, baby! So under here is an RDU, um, so it's a rear drive unit, kind of like you would see on some of like the Focus RS uh, drive units where it's it's based off that same platform. It's not your normal straight axle in the rear, but it has independent rear suspension, and then this is electronically controlled, which is really nice. We've got some aluminum lower control arms, which is interesting; saving some weight there. Beefy; I like it. Um, yeah, but we've got this guy... Oh, we're going, we're going way under, man! Uh, the whole drive shaft under here is pretty beefy; it's got like

a nice little CV on the end here, so it looks pretty decent. I'm uh, I like it. I could

see I could see you doing stuff down here. Muffler easily accessible, decent clearance, no skid plates

underneath it, so like your gas tank doesn't have a skid plate, but I'm sure someone will make something

for that. Yeah, pretty nice down here. I like it. We're going to do a little size test

right now. I'm 6 foot tall. We're going to get in the back seat to see how this is. I have not moved

up the seat at all. Feels really good, actually. The interior quality in this thing, it smells really

good. This leather, or it has a really nice texture to it, and also it just looks nice. But yeah, seating

wise is good, but we're going to try something out real quick. I got someone that's a little bit

bigger, and he's going to tell us uh, if he fits. So, camera guy Carson behind the camera right now, he's

gonna uh, pop in here. How big are you, Carson? Six three and a half. All right, six four, a good bit. We're

going to pop in the back here, see how he does. It's it's tight, it's not that bad though. Yeah, obviously

you're not going to be that backseat guy usually. No, but it works, honestly. It's tolerable. Yeah,

not bad. Good. Sweet. Hop in the front in that position too, just for just to see where we're

at in in that seating position. You would be able to drive. I could be, I could drive. Okay.

Well, that's good. Let's go ahead and pop open the hood, just let's see what this thing looks

like under here, this one in particular. I want to say it has an 8-speed transmission, so the trimmer is

its own trim series, and this one has the off-road capability, which is great. And it has a standard

360° camera and one-pedal driving. I don't know what that's all about; we're not allowed to drive these

today or anything, but we'll have to check that out in the future. It does look like we have, like,

the active cruise control situation right here; that's what that is. We'll pop the hood

though and see what this—see what this looks like underneath. So this—this is the 2L EcoBoost motor

here. This is making 238 horsepower at 5500 RPM and 277 ft-lb of torque at 3000 RPM with an 8-speed

transmission. So it's making a decent amount of jam—uh, sounds like it'll be pretty fun and

yeah, just an overall good package here. EcoBoost motors always are pretty amazing. So the one thing

I really like about this is it does have your standard transmission, where that's going to be

a standard automatic transmission, not a CVT. These other ones are going to be a constant velocity

transmission, where it's basically a whole stack of triangles and a belt that moves up and down to get you good gas mileage. So that basically wraps it up for these. We got the Lariat

version over here, which is in the green. Kind of has this nice, you know, two-piece grill up front,

which is pretty cool. But uh, yeah, overall some new stuff from Ford. I really dig them. I can't

wait to drive one of these things. I think it'll be really fun, and uh, I can't believe the gas mileage.

It's good, it's really awesome. Thanks for watching, guys. We'll talk to you soon. Later!
