I need to pose my truck like this! Great photos!

Yah, dealer told me "it's just how Mavericks work..." Le sigh. Will get this patch applied as soon as available!

Nice photos, and that looks like a fun trip! My experience shows a dramatic drop in MPG when you are pushing into 75-80 mph. The truck is a brick, after all! That being said, the hybrid truck is quite happy to keep up with the faster traffic, and still get 30+ MPG.

Earlier this year, I took a long road trip that took in some improved dirt roads, and the Hybrid on stock Continentals handled just fine: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/eugene-to-escalante-and-back-back-roads-and-dirt-roads-a-hybrid-truck-trip.12322/ I've also been on forest...

I took my hybrid on 2800+ mile roadtrip in the spring when the truck was only 1500 miles old. I didn't run into any problems on the whole trip, except disappointing mileage trying to do 80 mph into a heavy headwind across parts of Nevada. Enjoy your trip! But keep your cellphone charged?

I had some coolant smells in the cab after some driving in the hills: this was still in the 'break-in' period. Took it in to the dealer and they took a close look, didn't find anything. 2K more miles, and it hasn't happened since! Hopefully, it's a break-in glitch, and all is good!

Hey Captain, I don't have the truck hooked up to any services, if that is what you are asking. As for my phone plan, T-Mobile had me covered in most places, but when I got off the major roads, any signal evaporated. Plan accordingly!

Sorry for the late reply! Certainly, if you stay on the marked roads, you should be fine. Go slow, and understand it's not an all-terrain! Take water, food, and fuel, and travel with friends!

Almost five turns of the Dragon! I am still amazed with the back-up camera, and the auto-headlights!

Top looks really nice! Does the color look like it matches when you are up close? Thank you for posting!

I'm sure the OCF would love to have you back!

No, sorry! This encounter happened at 18th and Willamette. Message me next time you are headed this way!

You were heading east and I was heading north very near downtown! Message me, and we will accidentally park in the same place at the same time! My Maverick:

Since this was the first time on unimproved roads, I made sure that I had friends along in a second vehicle. And, it wasn't that far off the beaten path! We could have walked out, if needed. Both vehicles carried extra fuel/water/food/toilet paper, just in case. But, I will be more confident...

Another factor is air conditioning: Your profile indicates Arizona, you will probably be using that all the time! If you are doing any long stretches of climbing at highway speeds with A/C, you will not see any benefit from the hybrid. Go with the EcoBoost. My recent road trip across Oregon...

Yah, it's fun to horse around on the twisties in the Coast Range! Even in Eco mode!

Wow, great pictures! That looks like a fun trip. Thank you for the inspiration!

That looks very similar to my log! I had a big dip on a recent road trip across Nevada (85 mph into a headwind...).

Wow, that looks like a nice trip! Looking forward to more adventure reports!

Definitely, next time! A big reason I got a Maverick over a Prius was to be able to get on roads like Hole in the Rock and not worry about scraping the bottom!
