You're doing just fine. There are a lot of extreme cases of hypermiling and variances when it comes to driving in different climates and environments. I think the best perspective to look at it from is from as zoomed out as possible. If I asked you if you'd be happy getting 35mpg in a compact...

That absolutely tracks and makes sense for the 2.5l. Much like how the Ecoboost hits it's maximum practical efficiency around 55/60mph. Considering the lower HP in the 2.5l, it would make sense that the eCVT and atkinson engine would find its peak efficiency in the ballpark of 15% lower speeds...

Maximum practical fuel efficiency is typically the highest gear at the lowest sustainable power/rpm level. My maverick usually hits 8th just after 50mph and seems "comfortable" in 8th at 55mph (no real chance of downshifting unless a substantial incline calls for it). If someone could do an...

So your sample size is ~30 miles over ~30 minutes in 85 degree weather; that's not exactly a compelling sample size, onboard efficiency monitoring is always overstated, and is pretty anecdotal. I'd be more interested to see what your lifetime readout is for your 19,964.1 miles. That being said...

The chart paints the picture clearly: the two most fuel efficient vehicles on the chart (Accord L4 and Civic) both show a 20%+ drop in efficiency. A full-size V8 truck is always going to be fuel inefficient, but that just allows it more wiggle room in sub-optimal conditions. The Accord V6 in...

Lower temps drastically effect all vehicles, it just becomes more obvious the more efficient a vehicle is. It also becomes more noticeable and irritating because you bought the vehicle, in part, because of its efficiency. If you tracked the efficiency of all your vehicles over time you'd see a...

Old thread, but in case anyone is still having issues: I have noticed that FordPass hates WiFi on my phone (Pixel 9 Pro). It regularly won't even load the main menu page for the vehicle. As soon as I turn WiFi off and use my cell data it works like a charm every time loading the controls in the...

Thank you! He is! ... most of the time... okay, some of the time... alright, he occasionally maybe tries to be! 😂

I'm less interested in winning and more interested in making people look at my dog, Indy. 🤣 🐶 🐾 ❤ I

Honestly, mid-size is probably the best market for Ford to initially pursue. If they could overhaul the PHEV Ranger into a BEV with a smaller range extender (not like what Ram and Scout are trying to do with their range extended BEVs, but more similar to what BMW did with their i3) that would...

My local dealership keeps emailing & mailing me "certified offers" for my fully-loaded '23 Lariat for $29k (mine was $40,035 with every bell and whistle possible) and tell me how "desperate" they are to sell my used car. I told my sales agent "you know I'm ordering a '25 from you, can you take...

I 100% agree with you about aftermarket. My metric of "average" is absolutely pertaining to the realm of factory-installed speakers for those of us that have no inclination to "bother" with aftermarket. The B&Os are well above average factory installed speakers. Anyone who looks to aftermarket...

I think there is a massive disparity between the speakers that are put in most trim configurations and the speakers that are explicitly put in as part of the Lariat Luxury package for model years 22-24 (8 speaker B&O system, including sub). It looks like all Lariats for 2025 get the B&O sound...

OP literally created an account at 11am, thought a few hours about posting, posted at 6:30pm, and then walked away after 9pm after seeing the first few comments. 🤣 I'm guessing they probably also bring a bag of hair to a restaurant to try and get a free meal. They wanted attention and...

I have enough Labrador Retriever hair on my dash that it qualifies as a dash mat. 🤣

I was really hoping it would have been closer in size to the Ranger than the F-150. The Terra is 18" wider and 30" longer than the Maverick. 😱🤯 I can fit the additional length in my garage without too much difficulty, but an extra foot and a half of width is probably way too much to make it...

Are you taking about the "original" 2005 Escape hybrid? Because that was a 1.8kWh NiMH battery made by Sanyo using 330v architecture at 5.5Ah of storage. It was paired with the 2.3L I4 running the Atkinson cycle and the ICE only produced 133hp. They downsized the battery for a number of reasons...

I'm not saying that it would be a massively noticeable difference in performance/efficiency (likely sub 10% for city mpg rating), but increasing the usable space almost 50% from .44 to .64 would still yield a good improvement at the cost of minimal weight gain (an extra ~.5kWh total in the pack...

While 1.1kWh has been the "hybrid standard" for Ford, the hybrid F-150 Power Boost is a 1.6kWh pack. I would have loved to have seen the Maverick adopt the 1.6kWh as its standard so it could also include the 2kW Pro Power Onboard feature.

Where are you seeing the Pro Trailer Assist marked for Job 2? I can't find that listed and that might be a consideration for me.
