My odometer just turned 28K after 18 months, and I am still mostly delighted. The dashboard "guesstimater" says my lifetime average MPG is 47, but I think it's actually 44mpg. As I said, I had never owned a new car/vehicle before. The only possible exception would be that in 1984 I and her...
I started towing trailers in 1981 dragging a fishing boat up and down the east coast of FL. I struggled with that ever since, but practice makes better. If I had any idea what a game changer a backup camera would make I would hardly believe it. Yes- the trailer blocks the view (sometimes a lot)...
It looks like what Jack Nicholson said about what the police do in Chinatown- as little as possible. To me, it looks like to pretend to update the styling the covered up the bottom of the headlight assembly with color-corrected duct tape. Low effot and poorly executed.
>>>> Those that own Hybrids - will we see the "value" drop on the FWD version because people will prefer the AWD version?
I doubt it. The current prices have gone up almost 30% since 2022.

Last week I ran my Mav to almost empty (3 miles to E!!!) before refilling the tank. It went 624 miles and took 14 gallons for 44.5mpg using Eco mode the whole time (which means changing to Eco every single time), not the 47.8mpg the "guesstimator" said. Still, I am very pleased. Mt '07 Tacoma...

I too am delighted with my hybrid's mpg. I have been trqcking all of my gas usage for the last 15 months (since I got it). I noticed that for the first 6 months the MPG reported was "optimistic" (about 3mpg higher than actual). However, since the last update it has been more accurate. I'm...
18 Months.
I ordered a '22 hybrid XLT Nov. 6, 2021. In July of 2022 Ford converted it to a 2023. Took delivery April 19, 2023. I ordered the XLT because I wanted Cruise Control. They neglected to tell me that it was standard on the '23 XL.
I rarely get hate (and when it do, it seems like it's mostly jealousy). From time to time I get the "When you grow up, you can get a "real" truck (I'm 68 and have a Ram Quad Cam 4x4 and a Tacoma 4-door 4x4). I'd towed a boat, farm equipment and 1800 pounds of lumber. I'm secure in the state of...
That must be something to see! After 2.5 years, I've never seen more than one Maverick at any one time in my dealer's lot. They have 15 (I counted) Bronco ports and zero Mavericks right now. It doesn't feel like the shortage is over, but then again I'm out in BFE.
