Basically trading my Fusion Energi PHEV for one of these. I lose 20 miles of full EV range but gain WAY more utility, and gas efficiency is still better to the point where its a wash. Plus I have 3d printer and this truck is the ultimate tinker toy.

I usually buy a cheap set of OEM wheels on eBay and throw snows on those so I can swap out for the season myself. Only issue is with TPMS sensors that I cannot calibrate myself so I put up with the pressure sensor light for half the year, or drop by Discount Tire real quick and they calibrate...

I have owned a RWD manual bimmer in Colorado with a set of snows on it and it was fine. I was weaving around traffic on the worst snow days because people simply cant drive in the snow. AWD helps but its not gonna make up for poor skills and lack of proper tires. My FWD Fusion is an absolute...

Look at the Focus EV and you will get a general idea: Focus EV 107 MPGe vs Fusion PHEV 103MPGe. It wouldnt have been anything special. Hyundai and Tesla have cars in the 130 MPGe range.

Correct me if im wrong but that that 2.5 liter Atkinson cycle engine has been in the Ford lineup since at least as far back as 2009 (Ford Escape Hybrid). If there are no mods available now, there will likely never be. The engine is well proven though with Taxis running these things to half a...

Im not sure if this has changed since the Hyundai debacle but Im pretty sure manufacturers can use the EPA methodology and submit their own numbers if they want. In any case, its probably more prudent to have the EPA conduct the tests themselves so there is no confusion. We know how slow...

Placed my order through these guys: XLT Hybrid Carbon Grey + Lux package (Im in CO so I needed the heated stuff) 3% below invoice is very generous and beyond fair in this market. I am assuming I will have to wait until January, but if it arrives sooner, you wont hear any complaints from me!

Did a country-wide search on Autotrader and sorted by price high to low. The linked deal is the one of the most marked up Mavericks in the US. I do see a few for 45k and no MSRP listed LOL! Shady or not, thats not the way to repeat business and its 100% opportunist BS. Why would anyone even...

Sent them a PM. Thanks!

Im ready to place an order with this guy then. I can wait as long as I need to and can fly out and drive back. Seriously, (most) the dealers here in CO are crap. They have been trying to fleece EV buyers out of the state rebate for years now basically adding federal and state credit / rebate to...

I knew Colorado dealers were some of the worst in the US but this is insane: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=605926513 28535 --> 39330: Nearly 11k (37%) markup Obviously im not gonna pay that but I wouldnt pay even sticker to buy any Ford from these guys...
