It may sound that way to you, but estimate=/=hypothesis. EPA estimates are based on limited data, but the difference is that it's controlled and standardized data. Good job beating the estimates. The EPA itself says that individual results will vary because every driving scenario is unique. EPA...

Where did I say the EPA tests all new cars? It doesn't matter who actually does the testing. It's a standardized testing protocol in a controlled environment so it's reliable, replicable, and valid.

EPA estimates are based on five controlled and standardized fuel consumption tests. OP asked for real world tremor results even if you hypothesize there's no difference, the actual data suggests otherwise.

Not to be pedantic, but I posted controlled and standardized empirical data, and you responded with your own hypothesis.

Yep.

I don't believe a dealer has ever been able to get a hybrid as dealer stock. From day one they've been limited to customer orders.

K. but you're going to be waiting for a while before a critical mass of them gets to members and they have the chance to put significant miles on them. Not to mention it's winter now and the cold weather, dense air, and winter blends are going to impact this "empirical analysis." Come back in 6...

"Real world" MPGs isn't really a thing. MPGs are going to vary based on many variables. If you're interested in the comp between the EB AWD and Tremor the EPA estimates are going to be the best comparison as they are the only standardized tests. Here's a table to help compare the two based on...

Set the thermostat to 60°F (and turn off intermittently when driving in sunlight during sunny days until inside starts to fog) and you'll get a lot of those MPGs back once the engine is up to operating temp. I was able to keep in the low to mid 40mpg on cross town trips during our -5°F daytime...

But that would mean more potential energy that turns into kinetic energy if you do fish tail. I'd leave it as is unless you want a small bag of grit for traction. Plus, from my experience, the FWD Maverick doesn't have any issues with fish tailing on slick roads.

Been driving my hybrid for a year now in Minnesota; multiple snow storms and haven't had any issues.

Or it's roughly $10K after 10 years if you roll the extra $62/mo into your 401K, IRA or other reasonable investment.

Back when I bought my hybrid I calculated that the hybrid would be about $15K less TCO than the AWD EB.... https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/4200-less-for-hybrid-vs-2-0-120-000-miles.5852/post-138744 ....of course those numbers are different with the new pricing.

I've had my hybrid for a year in Minnesota and it's been fine in the snow.

Ah. Didn't see that. Wonder if this will cause another correction in the future.

Wondering if this fix has anything to do with the recalculated city mpgs on the '23 window stickers.

I wouldn't worry about it. The initial marketing had the hybrid rated at 40mpg city, and the weird thing is that when they announced 42mpg city they didn't update the overall 37mpg (when it should be 38 @ 42hwy/33city).

I'm in Minnesota and have had my Hybrid for a year. Driven in multiple 4-6" storms and have had no issues with the OEM tires. I'm not doing any gnarly drives. If I did more backroad or drove a lot more, I might grab some snow tires, but for basic commuting city, suburb, and highway driving the...

Not with a roll up. I have the truxedo version of the OP's cover with Billie bars and have no issues opening it.
