Don't often drive at night anymore but had auto brights on the other evening just to see how they did. At one point they turned off for an approaching car (as they should) when I hit a bump that raised the front up to make it appear I had flashed them, so they flashed me back. o_O Overall...

Update...played around with it and lane keeping is definitely working, especially when road markings are good. Find it somewhat inconsistent to the point of being annoying so just turned it off for local driving - much better driving experience! When on longer highway trips I'll experiment with...

My '25 XLT without the lux package also locks with the fob, inside door button or outside door handle sensor.

My comment wasn't meant as a criticism at all, just an observation. As has been pointed out, it's not that hard to get higher than normal MPG. Whether I drive mine that way most of the time or not is irrelevant, if you find it worthwhile and enjoy it then why not...

Hitting the brakes in a hybrid is like downshifting with smoother control, until that last few mph before a full stop anyway. L is more aggressive but I don't find it useful for the way I drive. My first four vehicles (2 VW beetles, VW bus and a '64 Chevy II) had manual transmissions and I don't...

Not bad, if I still rode I could almost fit it in my garage connected to the Maverick.

Not among the people I knew. And by the early to mid 70s with smog pumps, ugly 5 mph bumpers, etc, US cars in general hit one of the lowest points in their evolution. I can't think of a single car from that era that I would care to own, not even in showroom condition. Mainly due to foreign...

A quick search shows 29 states require front license plates, 21 do not.

Since I live outside a small town there is very little city driving in my daily routine, mostly back roads at 45-55mph and interstates. Regardless, mpg is so good with hybrids these days that unless you're hot-rodding it all the time, these hypermiling tactics bump up against the 'law of...

Sounds like some here are driving their hybrid like they're playing a video game, trying come up with the highest score.

That guy on the left doesn't look too happy.

Nothing

That would make too much sense, plus they'd be giving people something useful without getting extra $$$ for it, which clearly can't happen. ;-)

Being somewhat heavy footed off the line my FWD hybrid spins tires more than most other vehicles I've had. I'm sure it's due to the added instant torque of the electric motor. The only vehicle I had that spun them more was the 2019 RAM Promaster van I traded for the Maverick. It had a 280HP V6...

Only because someone pointed out the discrepancy in another thread after the update, I noticed mine recalibrated itself after a day of driving around. Since it's always recalibrating depending on how the vehicle has recently been driven that number seems fairly meaningless for a future...

You obviously need one of those smart dressers from Japan that you can talk to. 😉

Ok, I give up. Google it, Safari it, whatever. Good luck.

Sure, whatever works for you. I used to spot treat but if you're lazy like me when it comes to waxing (not that I'm actually lazy, I just don't care that much anymore) there's a good chance a lot of 'detritus' has built up over much of the surface area of the vehicle during the year or two since...

At face value it seems too good to be true. We see how dealers work, wonder what the catch is. That likely includes all possible incentives they offer but a person can only qualify for one or two.

Sure, but useful if the paint feels a bit grimy or rough. Even so, I don't think waxing with cleaner wax a couple times a year is going to hurt anything. During use it's clear the abrasion is extremely subtle, nothing like actual polishing compound. It's great for removing those little bits of...
