Ford Maverick Engine Review

Practical from inside and out, the Ford Maverick is a smart compact car with efficient engine.

Introduction:

The Ford Maverick is truly a classic 4x4 that, even though it was only accessible from 1988 through 1994, is still going very strong today. The Maverick was available in both short- and long-wheelbase models, along with two or four doors, and basic wagons with petrol or diesel 4.2L engines. Obtainable in both manual or automatic transmissions, and back- or four-wheel drive configurations, there is actually a Maverick for every need.

The petrol engine is quite more powerful and supplies more torque than the diesel version, which, oddly enough, wasn't available as a turbo diesel. Another peculiarity is that while the 5-speed manual transmission was simple to handle, it really didn't reduce consumption of fuel over the 4-speed automatic.

Engine:                                 

The Maverick came with a clever choice two engines, two transmissions, and back- or four-wheel drivetrains. The 4.2L petrol i6 engine put out almost 125kW and a shocking 325Nm torque at 2800 rpm, which, when mated to the four-wheel drive system, makes a very efficient off-roading 4x4. The 5-speed manual (non-automatic) transmission doesn't save a whole lot in consumption of fuel compared to the optional 4-speed automatic.  The naturally active aspirated 4.2L diesel i6 engine, on the other hand, was only computed at 85kW and 264Nm of torque.

Mated to the 5-speed manual transmission, it is highly thirsty at around 20L/100km, which is very tough to justify in today's market. Possibly the best amalgamation that can be found is the 4.2L petrol i6 engine mated to a smart 4-speed automatic transmission and the four-wheel drivetrain. This combination really makes for good fuel consumption on the bitumen, effortless off-road handling, and even occasional rock crawling along with the transfer case's super low gear ratios.

Equipment:

All the variants of the Maverick were precisely equipped with coil-sprung front and back suspension and limited-slip differentials, acute power brakes and steering, and a rear-mounted anti-sway bar. Standard equipment involved vinyl trim, cloth seats and floor coverings. Step up to the XL and receive better instrumentation, including tachometer, water temperature, oil pressure and voltage gauges. The audio system of the car added a cassette player to the 2-speaker system, and the unique bucket seats were cloth covered and trimmed.

Carpet comfortably replaced the base model's vinyl floor covering. The highest trim, the XLT, gained quite bigger wheels and tyres under the larger fender flares and efficiently powered by a new vacuum-operated back locking differential. Alloy rub rails were added, as well as tilt sunroof, power windows and locks and a 4-speaker audio system with power aerial.

Competition:

Probably the most direct and tough competition to the Ford Maverick was its sweet sister Nissan Patrol GQ, which was already on the road for about eight years previous, before Ford started rebadging them. Both the Patrol and Maverick are pretty much similar not counting any cosmetic changes but perform equally. Sales of the muscular Maverick never really took off, selling only about 16,000 in the six years that the Patrol sold over 30,000. Yet, the Ford Maverick is a one-of-a-kind Ford, the likes of which haven't been observed since.

The smart Toyota Land Cruiser, another full-size 4x4, is probably just as efficient off road as the Maverick, but it is equipped along with more of the niceties that make even around-town driving easy. The Land Cruiser is also just as well known for its longevity. To get all this, although, you'll pay a premium for the privilege. The Land Cruiser may be much more refined, but it doesn't compare to the lively style and attitude of the Maverick.
