Sean P. Holman (2m 19s):

Lightning Have You Heard. No, no, no, no, no, no. Nope. No, no,

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (2m 24s):

No. Ha. No, I haven’t. I don’t think so. You’ve been teasing me all. Last episode, you said that you had some, some truck news. Yep. And I knew that you flew to somewhere in the Midwest. Yep. Detroit. And you saw a new truck and you wouldn’t tell me what it was. And this is it. What do we got?

Sean P. Holman (2m 41s):

The brand new redesigned Ford Maverick.

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (2m 49s):

All right. Okay. Is this, so here’s the deal. This the well Hold On a second. Nope. Is this the sport truck? Easy?

Sean P. Holman (2m 56s):

We been just slow, slow your roll here. All right. Just slow your roll. Here’s the deal. I have wanted to hate the Maverick since day one. I wanted it to be a, it’s just a stupid little Honda Ridge line, and it’s, it sucks. And I, I don’t like it. It’s unibody. And then all of a sudden I was given one by Ford and I put a bunch of stuff in the bed and I started using it and I went, yeah, it seemed kinda ride’s kind of nice. And it’s got enough utility and it’s pretty quick and I don’t, I don’t hate it. And then I looked around the interior and I’m like, yeah, you know, it’s a cheap truck, affordable truck, but it’s not like made cheap. It’s a, it’s an affordable truck.

Sean P. Holman (3m 36s):

This is

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (3m 36s):

The process of selling out in real time

Sean P. Holman (3m 38s):

With the materials that are at a cheap price point. But they’re, they’re cool. There’s like, it’s, the plastics are different. They’re faceted. They have some shape to it. There’s like some texture and some color differences. And I’m like, all right. It’s kind of funky and cool. I like it. And then I’m like, you know, I, I’m not a huge fan of the grill. I don’t like the front end on it. And then Ford had the hybrid as the standard $19,000 truck. And then everybody went for the hybrid. So they went, Ooh, that’s gonna be the upgrade engine now. And then everyone went, wait a minute, we, why is that now the upgrade? And you can never get the hybrid with a, with all Wheel drive. And so Ford heard their customers loud and clear, and they have come out with a mid-cycle action.

Sean P. Holman (4m 21s):

The MCA is what they call ’em, a refresh of the Maverick. And I gotta tell you, I flew out to Detroit for one day to see it and I was blown away by it. The, the front end is super cool. The Lariat, you now get nineteens on. It looks awesome. Tremor is now its its own trim line. Check this out. You can get the Eco-boost, the two liter with or without all Wheel Drive. The hybrid is again the base engine. But now you can upgrade the hybrid and get that with all Wheel Drive. Oh

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (4m 54s):

Wow.

Sean P. Holman (4m 55s):

So here’s what’s cool about it. So the hybrid Maverick is 191 horsepower and 155 pound feet of torque. The gas engine is 2 38, 2 77. Just that’s healthy. Sure. That’s healthy. Again, hybrid. Now in all Wheel Drive, you get a massive 13.2 inch screen. Now standard, no matter which trim, Excel LT center, center stack, right Center stack. Okay. X Excel, XLT, Lariat tremor.

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (5m 20s):

Can I ask a dumb question? Okay. Is it, what is in the driver’s? The, the, the dashboard, is it analog or digital?

Sean P. Holman (5m 27s):

No, it’s digital. It is? No, it’s full, fully modern. Okay. And they’re targeting on the hybrid 42 ish miles per gallon with a 500 mile range.

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (5m 36s):

Damn.

Sean P. Holman (5m 37s):

And you’re going, okay, I’m really hating this less and less. ’cause for somebody who needs like a little urban pickup or something like for like light off, like I think it would be a really good, you know, tremor version would be like a good Subaru alternative. Okay. Right. Like you get actually get truck stuff with it and it’s got skid plates and, and tow hooks and all that kind of stuff.

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (5m 59s):

It, but, but when, when it was affordable, not as much today. Like that $19,000 truck is now what? 30?

Sean P. Holman (6m 6s):

That doesn’t exist any longer. But Hold On, it’s got 1500 pounds of payload. Alright. Which is solid. Yeah. Okay. And max tow rating, if you get the tow, tow package, 4,000 pounds pretty darn good. So it can definitely do your truck light work. I mean it’s not gonna replace your F-150, but for the right use case, I think it kind of makes sense. And then they have a ton of tech that’s trickled down, like pro pilot 2.0, pro trailer backup assist, the backup lines, all the 360 camera. Not like the

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (6m 34s):

Blue Cruise. They have

Sean P. Holman (6m 35s):

That, not blue, not Blue Cruise, but they have the Prop Pilot 2.0, which is like adaptive cruise and Lane Keep assist and things like that. So pricing starts now at 26,000 plus destination. But if you got a loaded Lariat, you’re only looking at like high thirties, like 38 or something like that. So still fairly reasonable. I would loved to see it mid thirties. I would love to see it at the, at the low thirties. But you know, it not gonna happen anymore. It’s not gonna happen. And they’ve, they’re making money and people wanna buy The truck. I think the new truck is gonna be even more desirable than it was. The look is way better. The grill’s better. The signature LED lights in the front, they kind of fixed up the, the rear end.

Sean P. Holman (7m 17s):

The Wheel and tire packages look great. All the interiors, a lot of blue instead of charcoal. So it’s a little funky there. They’ve got some cool twill on the seats, but there’s, they have a, the person who designed the interior used to work for Nike. And so she brought in a bunch of these kind of like designer elements and stuff. So it’s, even though it’s, you know, an affordable cheap, if you will truck, it still has style and it’s still funky and the bed is totally usable. So you can do the double deck system with two by fours. You’ve got Fords tie down system on the rail spray and Bedliner. So there’s a lot to like about it. Even the rear seat space was okay, you know, for being as small as as it is.

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (7m 53s):

Could you be like six two and fit back there?

Sean P. Holman (7m 56s):

I don’t know if you’d be comfortable. Alright, so I, I happen to have the, the pricing here for each level. So XL hybrid front Wheel Drive 26 2 95 XLT, hybrid front Wheel Drive 28,795 Lariat Gas Eco-Boost, all Wheel drive the, there’s a $1,200 eco boost and all Wheel drive discount that applies 35 535. That’s solid.

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (8m 21s):

Okay.

Sean P. Holman (8m 21s):

If you wanna step up to the hybrid, it jumps up to 36. It’s still not cheap. Yeah. But 35,000. Yeah. For what else? That kind of power.

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (8m 28s):

What else are you getting in that range? 35 grand for a truck I mean you’re not really touching a Tacoma, are you?

Sean P. Holman (8m 35s):

No. Yeah. Not, not as a This is the high trim. Yeah. In the Maverick. So there’s gonna be overlap. The L hybrid all Wheel drive 36, 735 Tremor Gas Eco Boost 39 7 95, destination delivery 1595. Now there’s a special vehicle that you’ve been waiting for that had a chance to go see in person in Detroit. And also last week at Randy’s Donuts in Inglewood over by the airport. Wait

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (8m 59s):

A minute, this was 20 minutes from me.

Sean P. Holman (9m 1s):

Ford did a, a local reveal and that is the brand new super freaking rad Lobo. Alright, so the Lobo is the sport truck we’ve all been talking about. And the base is gonna be 35 grand And. when you hear what it includes, you’re gonna be blown away. Now the most expensive maverick is gonna be the Lobo High configuration. That’s gonna be 44 95. But that includes heat steering, Wheel, and seats. Ford copilot 360 2 0.0 driver assist technology. 360 camera spray in Bedliner Moonroof Pro trailer Hitch Assistant Pro trailer backup assist for 40 grand. You know, that’s everything. You know, all the boxes checked. I’ve got a great interview.

Sean P. Holman (9m 42s):

I wanna play it for you. It’s gonna explain what the LOBO is. I’ll set it up. What’s awesome about it is it’s a total Ford Parts bin car. These guys went to SEMA Ford’s people, the engineers Yeah. On the Maverick. Just like you and I did, looked at all of the Mavericks that were at SEMA and said we can get people further down the line. What can we use? What are they using? That’s funny that

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (10m 2s):

They did that because we always went to the Ford section and all of our, our friends. Yep. You know, we’re gonna sound like we’re humble bragging, but like we have a lot of friends that build cars and trucks for sema and they had built some amazing mavericks.

Sean P. Holman (10m 16s):

So and so Ford noticed. Okay. And so Skunkworks kind of started working on what they could grab outta the parts bin to make the Maverick a sport truck. And then it became official and they already had some work done. So let’s play this interview. Explain more about the brand new Ford Maverick Lobo.

Keith Dougherty (10m 32s):

Throw some West Virginia twang in there. It just rolls right off

Sean P. Holman (10m 35s):

The All right, I’m with Keith Dougherty. That good?

Keith Dougherty (10m 38s):

Yeah, that’s great.

Sean P. Holman (10m 39s):

Alright. So you are responsible for basically putting together the componentry that make up the Lobo as far as the chassis and things like that.

Keith Dougherty (10m 47s):

Yeah, I led the team, obviously. Yeah. There were, there were several engineers, but it was a small group of us that, you know, each of us brought our expertise to the different systems. But, you know Yeah. Helped put it all together. So it was a, the total vehicle worked, all the systems worked together to deliver that, you know, performance, fun to drive experience that we expect, you know, hope you can, you can get in it. Okay.

Sean P. Holman (11m 9s):

So I lo okay, I’ll, I’ll, I’ll preface this that we’ve been talking about the return of mini trucks. So I worked at Truck and Magazine back in the day when I started. Okay. So I, I go way back and then I’ve got a podcast and we’ve been talking about yeah. The return of mini trucks for, for five, six years now. And when we saw the Maverick come out and then we saw the spy photos of the Lobo we’re like, oh, they’re doing it. They’re finally doing it. Right? ’cause we covered all the ones at SEMA and all that. Now, the reason I bring that up is because you were telling us as the group of journalists that what you did was go visit those vehicles and start getting inspiration for what could possibly be done from the factory and seeing what owners were doing to modify. So you took a prototype. Yep. You kind of went to the parts bin and said, we’ve got a bunch of great products from around the world in different product, in different vehicles, and we can make something even better with the Maverick.

Sean P. Holman (11m 52s):

So walk me through that. What is different between this and the standard maverick?

Keith Dougherty (11m 57s):

Oh yeah. So definitely there’s definitely, you know, to your point, we pulled, pulled several parts out of the bin when we put, we got our maverick, one of the first things we like, we put it on a hoist. And I always, you know, we talk about how customers do it. Yeah. Well we put it on a hoist. We literally ripped it down to the bones. Yeah. I don’t know how many customers would buy their new truck and like put it on Jack stands in their garage.

Sean P. Holman (12m 15s):

Well, there’s a few YouTubers. They’re like, oh, I want the shifter, I want this, I want this gauge cluster, I want them. Right.

Keith Dougherty (12m 20s):

Yeah. We’ve seen some of those guys. Yeah. But yeah, so, so the biggest thing we did was just, you know, again, looking at what people did. So obviously the, the lowering, the lowering kits that people have done is one of the first things that grabbed us. That’s where we definitely started attacking what can we do with the suspension? And again, engineer that suspension to all of those, you know, built Ford tough standards, but still lowered as much as we could after that we said, you know, yeah. We’ve got, you know, one of the things, we had a focus st that happened to be in the US for testing So. we, we procured those part, the, the brakes off of that thing. Well we also procured the wheels and tires, but, you know. Yeah. So the brakes was, yeah, that was one of the first things we put on was those twin piston calipers.

Keith Dougherty (13m 1s):

Knowing every performance vehicle you need better braking to some extent. Well, here’s what

Sean P. Holman (13m 5s):

I love is you said, okay, we had this great brake package from the Focus St. Yeah. And we brought it over to Maverick, but then we realized, ah, this is gonna be people’s daily drivers, so we’re gonna throw the comfort pads on there. Yeah. But a very simple, very cost effective upgrade to get better braking out is just go to the performance pads from your Ford dealer. Exactly. And you don’t even need to do anything else. Correct.

Keith Dougherty (13m 23s):

Was

Sean P. Holman (13m 23s):

This an official program or did you guys kind of go do something on the side and then bring it to the chief engineer and say, Hey, we think we got something, we kind of bootlegged this. What do you think?

Keith Dougherty (13m 32s):

A little bit of both. Okay. Yeah. So I mean, you know, again, like, you know, like any business, you know, there’s, there’s official and kinda, you know, like I said, skunk works. You know, we, so no, we, our team really did start working on it before the program was official. Just like, you know, I mean Josh, if we talk to Josh, like people are sketching, they’re sketching designs. Yeah. Yeah. Like on stuff that’s not even on the cycle plan. So definitely we started before, once it became a program, definitely saying, Hey look, we’ve already, when when the engine, when you start talking to the different functional teams, they’re like, Hey, what about this? What about this? It’s like, Hey guys, we’ve done it. Yeah. So we’re not trying to minimize the effort and resources you got, but it’s like we know it will work.

Sean P. Holman (14m 12s):

So this has the two liter ego boost all Wheel drive. You use the RDU, the rear drive unit that’s out of the Bronco sport to help with torque vectoring and tremor. And tremor. Okay. And then is, is it lowered or do you have different springs and struts for it compared to the other ones?

Keith Dougherty (14m 30s):

Yeah, so the springs and shocks or struts and shocks in the rear, those are all new for Lobo. Okay. Yep. So higher spring rate, you know, that’s gonna help with the performance field. Yeah. Head and, yeah, exactly. Yeah. The whole roll and all that stuff. Body roll, so, so higher spring rates, but we also springs are slightly shorter that, so that’s what helps give us the, the lower ride height. Okay.

Sean P. Holman (14m 51s):

How is it like half an inch or it’s

Keith Dougherty (14m 53s):

Roughly half an inch in the front and just over an inch in the rear. Okay.

Sean P. Holman (14m 56s):

Yeah. Little more level stance like you would

Keith Dougherty (14m 58s):

After the market. Exactly. Yeah. Yep. Yep. So it, it’s not you like trucks, right? Yeah. With the payload and the whole, you know, variation with payload. Yeah. This doesn’t vary as much ’cause the stiffer springs. Right. And, and exactly like you said So, we kind of took the rake out to make it look more level and more, you know, again, it looks

Sean P. Holman (15m 13s):

Good. Yeah. Like I’ll be a fan. I was a little bit of a maverick creator in the beginning until I spent time with ’em. And I was like, in the be beginning I was like, ah, you know, it’s a, it’s a Honda Ridge line for it’s forged little Honda Ridge line. Right. But then you get around it and you realize this isn’t an expensive product that was de contented to meet a price point. This was a, an affordable product being an affordable product and functional and cool. It’s, it’s cheap but it’s unapologetically cheap. It’s cheap in the right ways. It’s not cheap from a quality standpoint or materials. The way the execution’s done is great, but it doesn’t apologize for what it is. I love that about it. ’cause it has a ton of function and obviously customers do too. And then to see at SEMA what everybody was doing, not to see you guys recognize that and go, hey, we’ll we’ll like to your point, we’ll get you started. Right.

Sean P. Holman (15m 53s):

We’ll go down that road. Now you also talked about bringing the steering rack out of the cougar, which is a, a European product, right? Correct. It’s

Keith Dougherty (16m 0s):

The escape, it’s the Europe’s version of the Escape. Escape. Yeah.

Sean P. Holman (16m 3s):

And then also some thermal management with a different fan or the, the towing package fan is standard on this.

Keith Dougherty (16m 9s):

Yeah. Correct. So the Lobo basically uses the, the 4K tow package radiator, larger radiator and higher output fan. So that’s again, to help with the engine coolant. But the other thing we knew, we started looking at, depending on what type of closed course you’re

Sean P. Holman (16m 25s):

Going

Keith Dougherty (16m 25s):

To, right. If you go to a lower Mexico

Sean P. Holman (16m 27s):

Yeah.

Keith Dougherty (16m 28s):

Or if you go to a larger closed course. Right. Because I mean, you know, again, like I say, it’s not a racetrack vehicle. Right. But there’s lots of small race tracks Yeah.

Sean P. Holman (16m 34s):

Autocross and things like that. Yeah.

Keith Dougherty (16m 35s):

So I mean there sometimes an autocross and small racetrack blur and we’re like, okay, if they do go out to that racetrack, we gotta protect the transmission. So that’s where there’s, you know, transmission oil coolers and current production there. It’s a transmission oil cooler on the hybrid. So let’s just take that one and put it in the front of the thing. And you know, So, we had to make some new lines, but Yeah. Otherwise it’s like I said, it’s, to your point, we pulled a part off the shelf. Yeah. And

Sean P. Holman (16m 59s):

You guys have a new LOBO mode so on the dial. Yes. So that basically makes it so electronic stability control doesn’t try and straighten you out on a, on a racetrack when you want it to rotate, you’re able to use that torque vectoring in the rear along with the faster steering ratio in the front to really get it around a corner. And to me that just sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.

Keith Dougherty (17m 19s):

Oh, absolutely. And that’s why I say you guys gotta drive it. ’cause it it is, it is such a blast. Every time I drive I drove our prototype early on or even these trucks, I just get out with a big smile on my face. Yeah. And so yeah, it’s definitely, but the other side of it, it’s very easy to drive. So it’s, you know, even if you don’t have a lot of experience with performance driving, I think a customer can get in this vehicle and, and develop their skills very quickly. So, you know, you’re not jumping in a high horsepower rear world drive. This vehicle I think would be a great thing for someone starting out that says, Hey, totally, you know, I’m, I’m new to the scene. Yeah. I’m not quite sure what I’m capable of. Jump in this Lobo and you know, it, it, it, it’ll help you out. It’ll be a partner.

Sean P. Holman (17m 59s):

Is the powertrain horsepower and torque same as the standard marick it transmission the same?

Keith Dougherty (18m 5s):

So the engine, yes. The two liter EAB boost engine is the same in LOBO as the rest of the maverick lineup. But the transmission is, is new. It’s, it’s a new transmission, but it’s still the, the eight F architecture. Okay. So in the rest of the mavericks it’s an eight speed speed, right? Correct. So what we did here, again for that performance driving, especially when you add the paddle shifters, the customer can get in manual mode and it’s not gonna shift. So they have to go 1, 2, 3, 4. Well, just the, the way the ratios are set up on the eight speed, if you’re really shifting at red line Yeah. You end up in, essentially you have a missed gear because you Oh, okay. You have to double shift Right. To get through one of the gears. So that’s not the, that’s not the customer experience. Right. You don’t want to be like hauling down a drag strip.

Keith Dougherty (18m 46s):

Right. Or wherever you happen to be. Right. And have to like do a double pole.

Sean P. Holman (18m 49s):

So somewhere between two, three and four, there’s an extra gear on the eight speed Yeah. Ratio for merging on the freeway or or

Keith Dougherty (18m 57s):

Fuel economy. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Sean P. Holman (18m 58s):

So you just take that out of this major. We just

Keith Dougherty (18m 60s):

Take it out, we calibrate it out. It’s the same thing we did on like the edge st focus St in Europe does the same thing too. Okay. So again, back to pulling parts and experience off the shelf. Yeah. We, you know, they, the trans team already knew how to do it. Right. ’cause they’ve done it twice. Right. Right. Yeah.

Sean P. Holman (19m 15s):

So what are you, what are you most excited about? When, when we’re sitting out here, when lovely Detroit down in Corktown and we’ve got a black and a blue Lobo sitting here. You put the last couple years of your efforts and this is the first time the journalists are seeing it, you’re getting feedback. Like, what are you, you’re sitting here as an engineer in your life and your thought is what?

Keith Dougherty (19m 32s):

I can’t wait to see the customer. The videos Yeah. And posts of what they do. Again, you know, the way they’re gonna modify it, the way they’re gonna make it their own. This is kind of our take on street truck. Yeah. I wanna see, I wanna see hundreds of takes on street trucks. Yeah. Yeah. And then obviously, I gotta be honest with you, I want to go find an empty parking lot somewhere that is closed.

Sean P. Holman (19m 53s):

Yeah. Okay. So, so let me ask you, I, one more question. It’s obviously front Wheel Drive architecture. Yeah. This is all Wheel Drive. You added the RDU outta Bronco Sport and Remer, will it drift?

Keith Dougherty (20m 4s):

Absolutely. We would’ve been talking about drifting today. If it doesn’t,

Sean P. Holman (20m 7s):

What’s your torque split? Is there a maximum torque split between front and rear that it can achieve? Yeah.

Keith Dougherty (20m 11s):

So, we can’t send a hundred percent torque to the rear. Yeah. But once the, can you do 60, once we get to the rear, we can send a hundred left or right. Okay. So that’s one of the reasons why this torque factoring is so effective. Is it, you know, everything that goes down the drive shaft can go one way or the other. Got it. We don’t have to split it to some extent, so.

Sean P. Holman (20m 28s):

Well dude, well thank you. I can’t wait to again find that closed course with you maybe in the future on the first drive. Hey man, let’s go, let’s go make some, some drifts. All right, thanks. Good talk to you. Thank you. Yeah, I feel like he’s my new favorite dude from Ford. Dude, I love that guy. Freaking love him. So that dude’s like, oh yeah, he’s, he’s one of us around SEMA and I’m like, oh, we can do that. Well, we’re gonna get, I wanna see people do their takes on street trucks, but I’m gonna get ’em closer to the beginning. Yeah, right. That’s super cool. I can’t tell you how much I, I haven’t driven yet. So did

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (20m 59s):

You have any

Sean P. Holman (20m 60s):

Judgment,

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (21m 1s):

Did you have any expectations when you went to Detroit to see this?

Sean P. Holman (21m 5s):

Like, did I know I was gonna see it?

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (21m 7s):

No, no, no. You knew you were gonna see it.

Sean P. Holman (21m 8s):

I knew I was gonna see Maverick. Yeah. Yeah.

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (21m 10s):

But did you have any expectations about its cool factor?

Sean P. Holman (21m 14s):

No.

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (21m 15s):

And you were impressed? I

Sean P. Holman (21m 16s):

Was super impressed and if you know me, I am pretty hard to impress with it when it comes to a lot of things. Yeah. You’re genius, especially automotive. Yeah, of course I am. Yeah. And you know, manufacturers don’t always listen to their customers and they don’t always do what’s right by the segment they’re trying to chase because of a gazillion reasons. It could be price point, it could be, you know, cost cutting, it could be marketing, it could be brand building or not building. Right. And I, I think Ford nailed it on this. I think honestly, if didn didn’t really need like a four by four truck, I would get one of these. Or conversely, I would consider one of these once the three 90 two’s paid off.

Sean P. Holman (21m 56s):

And

Jay “Lightning” Tilles (21m 57s):

In

Sean P. Holman (21m 57s):
