Just had my ARE cap installed today!!! Also had bug deflector and window vents installed. Liking my 2025 Lariat Ecoboost in Ruby Red Metallic. 2,250 miles on it and runs great like it should. Very pleased. I do run 93 octane in it.

I have a 2022 First Edition in ruby red and am thinking about that same cap but in gloss black so it doesn't look like a suvJust had my ARE cap installed today!!!

Recommend you also order it with the inside liner as I saw one before I ordered mine and the raw fiberglass is pretty nasty.I was quoted $2700 for an ARE color matched, now I'm really wanting one..
I was hesitant to comment but it does look like an SUV. Not for me. Ford Escape X2.I have a 2022 First Edition in ruby red and am thinking about that same cap but in gloss black so it doesn't look like a suv
Running higher octane fuel in an engine designed for 87 octane has no benefit. Higher octane fuels are less susceptible to pre ignition and are required for certain engines because of their design. You bought a Maverick Hybrid to save money on fuel. Why would you spend more money on 93 octane fuel when you’re vehicle doesn’t need it?Most that know will tell you higher octane is a waste of money, but it is always the choice of the owner, regardless of what one thinks. You cannot take that away. Different strokes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Especially with the hybrid engine design. The Atkinson engine is nothing close to a race motor.Running higher octane fuel in an engine designed for 87 octane has no benefit.

Yes, it is often recommended, and sometimes required, to use high octane fuel in turbo engines. Turbo engines are designed to compress air and fuel to create more power, which can lead to a higher risk of engine knocking if the fuel doesn't have enough octane.Just wondering why the 93 octane fuel?
