  1. Gas mpg on short trips 10 min or less?

    šŸ˜‚ For real! I just went on lunch break and drove literally 1 mile down the road which took 5 minutes. Mostly level ground. Trip reading was 16 mpg. On the way back after lunch, the identical trip reading was 52 mpg. I swear…you’re better off not even paying attention to your gas mileage with...
  2. Gas mpg on short trips 10 min or less?

    The voice of reason. šŸ‘ I’ve noticed the same phenomenon with Maverick mpg claims that I’ve noticed with fishermen’s claims of their catches. Always a little embellishment. Or info left out. For example you’ll see a person bragging with a huge stringer of 15 fish but they don’t tell you they...
  3. Gas mpg on short trips 10 min or less?

    I get that 50 mpg on occasion. But only when the temp is above 70 degrees, I’m not using AC or heat or wipers, and when the car has already been used that day beforehand and has lots of charge built up. Otherwise when it’s cold outside, and the engine has been sitting since prior day, and I’m...
  4. Gas mpg on short trips 10 min or less?

    What numbers is everyone getting on their mpg when they drive very short trips for less than 10 min, starting with a COLD ENGINE when vehicle has been left overnight? It seems that the hybrid Mavs don’t really kick into their efficient status until at least 10 minutes. This is how long my drive...
  5. Can you disable driver assist

    It’s a button on the end of the signal lever/switch. Press the end of it and you’ll see a message on your screen saying it’s been disabled.
  6. 2025 Gas Gauge Trustworthy?

    1/8 increments. There are 4 large notches with each one having a position directly on it and one in between it. So each position of the meter drops 1/8.
  7. Power meter question on 2025 models

    I definitely prefer the old setup for the instrument cluster on models 2024 and prior. It seems that somehow they made the screen bigger on 2025 and yet showed less useful information or no information at all. Again, I don’t mean to complain. It’s not a massive deal. Just a small annoying quirk.
  8. Fuel Mileage, Just WOW!!!

    That’s great mileage. Since the majority of my driving is either 80+ mph, or less than 35 mph for very short trips, I get the worst average mpg possible. After 2k miles my meter is reading 37.5 mph but actual calculated mpg is 35.5. Still great for a truck. But it’s a shame I rarely drive in...
  9. Power meter question on 2025 models

    It’s hard to capture it since it’s while I’m accelerating. But I’ll do my best. Maybe I’ll ask someone to snap the pic.
  10. Power meter question on 2025 models

    On the power meter at left of instrument cluster, I already know the gray/white bar above zero means you’re using ICE engine, and the blueish bar above zero means you’re using electric. But sometimes there is a gray/white bar above zero which has a greenish portion beneath it with a distinct...
  11. Fuel Mileage, Just WOW!!!

    OP, have you experienced driving at high speeds against a 20+ mph headwind? In my experience this lowers mpg even more than sub-freezing temps. For example, on a tollway driving at 75 mph with a wind at my back pushing me forward, I was getting 38 mpg. On the way back the same day, going against...
  12. POLL - Hybrid Transmission Grinding/Lurching

    Noticed this noise yesterday for first time when I was stopped at a traffic light on an incline slope. Temp was 50 degrees. Truck had just started up 1 minute prior. It went away shortly after.
  13. Any recommended ball hitches?

    I use that exact size hitch by Curt.
  14. Any recommended ball hitches?

    The other measurement you need to consider is ā€œdrop heightā€. This refers to how high the bottom of the ball will be in reference to the top (inside) of the hitch receiver. Most common drop height would be ā€œ2 inch dropā€. This would work with standard Uhaul trailers. The idea is to get the trailer...
  15. “This Trip” not working on display?

    On the instrument cluster all of a sudden the ā€œThis Tripā€ data stopped working. It only counts the time but it stopped accumulating any mpg or total mileage data. It’s like that one window just broke. I tried turning the car off and restarting. Still doesn’t work. Note: when I finish each trip...
  16. Scratch ‘remover’ recommendations?

    What about scratches on the textured plastic of the dashboard? Has anyone tried buffing it out with products and if so how did it turn out? It seems like the texture is very finely detailed and if you buff it out, it will create an area that looks noticeably damaged? Seems like only smooth...
  17. Fuel Mileage, Just WOW!!!

    I will say this… If you’re driving against a strong wind, the mpg takes a big hit almost equivalent to cold freezing weather. Even more than the AC lowers it. Definitely cold weather and strong wind do the most havoc on mpg. This is my observation so far.
