Still can't get over the incredible value of the Maverick Hybrid Lariat. Through 9,700 miles, we still love it.
I tend to choose more city driving routes because it's such a great ride. I listen to audio books, music, and work training. It has such a quiet cabin evironment compared to our old 1995 Ranger 2.3 S/C M/T.
I was previously driving 80% freeway. After I changed my driving routes, I'm riding around at about 65% freeway miles now.
In the 9,700 miles, there was one blip covered under warranty, and it turned out to be a inexpensive common module which went faulty. A week at the dealer, a Ford-provided rental car, and our Mav is good as new!
Factory tonneau is still nice and water-tight.
Also after 9,700 miles, I recently got back behind the wheel of the Fusion Hybrid I previously drove (we gifted it to our daughter when the Mav came in, so it's still around), and I definitely like the power and CVT of our Maverick better in comparison to the Fusion Hybrid.
For the 9,700 mile fuel economy review, we're achieving a lifetime fuel economy of 38.8 mpg, which includes half of a Michigan winter, and an average Michigan spring. Note these pictures below. The trip odometer has never been reset since the 8 miles on it when we picked it up. This represents the lifetime fuel economy of 38.8 mpg.
The second pic is the ROLLING AVERAGE fuel economy. Does anyone know how far the 'fuel economy screen' mpg goes back?
Like the trip odometer, the 'fuel economy screen' tracker has never been reset, but it appears to calculate based on a rolling average. Maybe 3 K, 4 K or 5 K miles? This screen/calculation/tracker has a higher reading, 42.9 mpg. I figure the more favorable spring temperatures in the more recent rolling average miles account for this difference. Note: I made a previous MTC post documenting my winter fuel economy numbers vs exterior temps.
Anyway, I'm glad to be back into a truck for my everyday ride!
