Top speeds hit in EcoBoost?

[stone]

Hi all. I am waiting on my Maverick hybrid order like the rest. I ordered June 11th. No build date yet. I have a question for those that have their eco boost mavericks, and those that will get the hybrids before I. What is the top speeds y’all have reached? Top comfortable driving speed? How well does it handle higher speeds?
Thank you for your help!

I had my AWD Lariat FE over 100MPH (102 is the highest I saw on the speedo) to Pass on I5 on my recent 1000 mile road trip. I had the cruise control set at 80 for the majority of the tip, and it was very quiet, and smooth. I would be comfortable setting the cruise at 85 or 90 if gas was cheaper. But at 80 I still averaged over 27MPG.

Meanwhile on the East coast we are considering ourselves lucky that the PA Turnpike just moved up to 70 mph speed limit from 65 and I can remember when it was still 55, lol.

I was just on the Turnpike today and was thinking. Wow I am glad they upped it to 70. lol

Not that half the drivers especially truckers still aren't too sure and keep it 60-65 just in case...

That's way higher than I would have expected for that speed.

I was very much impressed with the mileage on the highway. Maybe in the future will try a longish road trip where I set the cruise control at 70 to see what kind of mileage I’ll get, but anything under 75 on I5 in the middle of California is dangerously slow.

City driving has been around 22MPG, and can’t wait to see what it does towing. I tow a small boat and a small pop up camper, so I hope to add more data to this community soon.

That's amazing. A lot better than I would have expected. Thank you for sharing!

108 mph. Speed governor. 2.0 ecoboost. XLT AWD.

Actually speed governer is 109mph. I was on some new access road by where we have windmills at. Absolutely not a soul out that way except sheriffs. see below for proof MPG was also abysmal at this speed. I think i glanced at like 8mpg.

And promptly 10 minutes later... First ticket in 15 years and first moving violation ever. I had maybe 400 miles on the truck, less than 24 hours of ownership I have had plenty of fast cars in my life and out of all of them, I get a ticket in the slowest one.

 

[Gilbillygucci]

Absolutely not, lmaoo. Cop was nice about it, but still got a ticket.

Ohhh! Have your speedo calibrated and maybe knock it down to 99! lol.. Thanks for the laugh and the reminder that I too would have that kind of luck...

Slightly above 100 MPH while passing, NB I-15 on my way to Las Vegas. Typical traffic out here is between 80 and 90 MPH.

Got passed by CHP once going 85, makes me think they’re looking for speeders going 20+ over the posted limit. 20+ over the speed limit is reckless driving, 2 points vs. 1 point on your record.

My XLT AWD is comfortable at all speeds. I can't help you regarding top speed reached though, that would be incriminating evidence left behind.
