  1. Wife upstages me

    The business end of a lariat 😁
  2. Wife upstages me

    Lariat is a trim level on Ford pickups not just Mavericks
  3. Maintenance and What Breaks Warranty?

    People always (accurately) mention hard acceleration as bad for milage. With the hybrid I have never seen someone comment on not flying up to stop sign/light and slamming on the brakes.. I assume (?) Mavericks have regenerative braking. Stop lightly just like accelerating lightly. It will...
  4. Tested 87, 91 & 93 Octane.

    Got my 24 eb in February had 5567.6 when I drove it off the lot. Fuel economy been going up since. Seems to have stabilized am almost 13k. My wife's Kona N-Line did same. 34 miles off the lot milage improved to around 10k
  5. Wacko fuel gauge and DTE

    That is pretty much the milage and gage reading on my 24 lariat eb. But dte is always right. I checked 25 miles past zero is the end 😂. Also my indicated mpg is off average of 1 mpg from actual.
  6. Tested 87, 91 & 93 Octane.

    We always talk about compression ratio, and it matters, but expansion ratio is what is getting the work out of the combustion.

  7. Which Engine Would Last Longer?

  8. Locked key in Mav

    I know. My 350 does that. My wife's kona does something similar. Thought strange that it let me lock key in.
  9. Locked key in Mav

    I need to on maverick, on my 350 I have a hidden key. Unlocked door only. Will not start vehicle.
  10. Locked key in Mav

    Mine regularly locks drivers door. Very annoying
  11. Locked key in Mav

    I got my 24 in February (eb lariat 5500 miles) accidentally locked key in. Fortunately window was part way open. Locked in again another time, also had window slightly down. Then 2 days ago did again.... this time it beeped and wouldn't lock. 🤔
  12. Toyota CEO confirms: RAV4-based Unibody Truck is coming for the Maverick!

    My wife really wants one (bronco sport). And having been in car sales. (My data is from 2000 ish. Sure it's changed slightly). Auto makers make "ladies vehicles " for a reason women are the sole purchaser of around 60 or 70% of new vehicles. They are the deciding vote on another 20% or so. Of...
  13. Toyota CEO confirms: RAV4-based Unibody Truck is coming for the Maverick!

    I have the "grower up" 6.7 350. $900/month for diesel got me to pull the lever and get my maverick 😊
