I think it's the red rock that's causing that illusion? Her Jeep is definitely yellow!
I'm looking forward to @Adospeed report on how their all-terrain tires affect ride and mileage. That alone would make the hybrid more capable off the asphalt.
You will have no problem on Hole in the Rock road. There were road crews working on it, and some minivans creeping over the washboards. The Egypt Canyon road, though, took some careful crawling over larger rocks that had been exposed over the winter. Make sure to take a friend (and water, and...
Vehicle: 2022 Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid, all stock, nothing add, nothing taken away.
Distance: 2800 miles and change.
Route: Eastbound: Eugene, Lakeview, Adel, Sheldon Wildlife Refuge, Winnemucca, Elko, east side of the Ruby Mountains, Ely, Delta, Fremont Indian Petroglyph Park, Panguitch...
Mileage on this tank was mostly in town driving, with one long road trip[1], and one medium road trip[2].
No issues to report: Saffy (truck name) continues to be comfortable, quiet, and stable!
[1] 168 mile loop out to the Oregon Coast following the Umpqua river. Highly recommended.
[2] Quick...
Kendall Ford in Eugene, Oregon.
MSRP, tax/title, plates, and they used my $500 deposit as the down payment (no trade in). 0%-36 (had to ask for it) when I picked up the truck in January.
Looks like they might have an XL hybrid in stock soon (site viewed 8 March 2022)?
Does the AC use the gas engine? OP indicates Texas, and I would imagine if the AC compressor could hijack the mileage.
@RileyG might be worth checking with the dealer. That's really awful mileage.
One of the few annoyances I have with the truck is that it won't stay in 'Eco' mode between starts! For that reason alone, you may find that keeping your truck idling will result in better mileage.
My fingers are getting better about switching to eco before driving away, but I miss that...
The gauge read full, and it was quite a while before I noticed the gauge had dropped!
And yes, the math is 431 - 18 = 413 miles, and some fudging for rounding on the gas pump and odometer readings. As the internet says: "Your Mileage May Vary"!
Started out at 18 miles on the odometer from the dealer. At 3/4 tank, 431 on the odo, added 10.7 gallons, which calculates out to 38.7 mpg!
That is all-around driving, mostly eco mode when I drive it, but there are two other people driving the truck.
Picked up the truck on 8 January, and it...
Yeah, I have something similar with mine: drove up into the hills, stopped to admire the view, and got a strong smell of coolant in the cab. My neighbor reported seeing white smoke from the tail pipe, so I'm keeping a close eye there. Hopefully it's just seals 'seating' during the break-in...
Ordered Cyber Orange Hybrid XLT with no other options on 6/21/2021
VIN on 9/30/2021
Delivered on 1/6/2022
So, 203 days from order to delivery.
I had to bug my sales drone for information, and once I got my VIN I used the Ford vehicle tracker to keep hopes in line.
