If I Reset the counter and hit the freeway immediately up to 75mph I can average 30-31mpg using Premium gas. This at 5,400’ elevation in Colorado in a loaded Lariat 4K/Lux Ecoboost.
Did you check these things immediately after you had driven the car and the engine was still warm? Your fluid levels will be low as it’s being circulated through the oil and cooling system.
Tuxmat. If they don’t have the set for a Maverick in stock, search for the Bronco Sport version for the Fronts only. It’s the same design and that’s what I bought first and then purchased the Rear set for a Maverick.
In CO it’s required, but luckily my dealer didn’t install the bracket before I took delivery. I still don’t have a front plate and it looks awesome without it.
Did it change the shift points from a rolling start? I think the issue is probably more a lack of boost than a downshift/throttle position. Dunno. Thoughts?
I have the factory black FX4 wheels w/245/65 Toyo All Terrains in 17” and it rides softer than the factory wheel/tire combo. I have a hard time believing those aluminum wheels are actually manufactured in Italy as even the regular price is under $200. It’s a great price if it’s true.
You’re over thinking this. If this decision comes down to the convenience of having to swap wheels and tires once a year, then get the steel wheels and save the money. Most factory cast aluminum wheels are heavy because they use more material than a comparable steel wheel for the same strength...
I have an EB AWD FX4 with A/T tires and it’s great. I get 31mpg freeway driving and like knowing that I have AWD and can hit the throttle to straighten the rear end out if it slides. You still need to know how to drive in bad weather and AWD can further your safety margin.
