The only slightly logical thing is that the transmission is changing SOMETHING about energy output at those intervals and they're letting you know that suddenly more or less power is coming from the battery. The thing is, in tow/Haul anytime the vehicle is moving the gas engine is running...

This "cute little truck" has got some wheels on it (don't try this at home). I still got pretty good mileage through Ohio and Michigan. Look at that miles to empty. That's why I love this "cute little truck". Not a fluke, either. Here's the first 24.9 miles after that fill up. Mte only...

At home I've seen a cyber orange, a carbonized gray, a white fleet vehicle with a ladder rack, an Oxford white, another white fleet with the ladder rack so maybe the second one twice. On a long trip around Michigan and finally saw my first of the trip north of Saginaw toward Tawas City. Was an...

Ford wouldn't build the vehicle without a customer placing an actual signed order. That's the contract. No stock orders were filed for dealers in 2022 model. Ford can't legally sell cars to customers. The dealership is a mandated middle man. Hate it if you want, most do, but ford was only...

On a road trip. Didn't get to 600 because I bought with over a hundred to go due to price where I was traveling. But the 608mte was nice. Considering it stayed at 608 or higher in the 24.9 miles I drove on it before it started dropping. 45mph seems to be the sweet spot for best mpg for long...

They said the same about cigarettes. "I'll quit when they're $3 a pack," "$5", "$10".... They'll never reach a point they'll quit. They'll just complain about the price. People driving gas hogs are the same way. They'll complain. But have no intent on doing anything about it. They'll never do...

My personal best hypermiling: Some other good short trips This was probably 70-30 city to highway all some trailer pulling time (about 40 miles) My regular trip I've gotten better at staying in electric despite the hills and just using the engine when it's actually needed.

In actuality, your gas engine is producing a ton of power, more than it takes to climb the hill, and pouring it into the battery. One of the keys to good mpg in a hybrid is to use the gas engine only when needed and battery as much as possible when not. And a hill will always be charging your...

The electric compressor is very loud. Not much different than a window unit if you stand outside next to it. Can't be insulated since they need to breathe to stay cool.

I've gotten my mav up past 75 and didn't hear any particular increase in wind sound with my lariat. However, the tires on the pavement can be a thing when they're not smooth concrete and instead some mix of asphalt that's textured or when you're on tar and chip. There's not much for sound...

1. IF and only IF you can get them to pay loss of value would I take the truck and sign for it. If they won't pay loss of value, let ford and the jeep driver insurance hash it out. Can't be sold as new. And you know THEY will demand loss of value be paid up to them. But I wouldn't touch the...

I know that was my thinking. The car market used and new is so screwy right now I'm happy I only waited 4 months for my Maverick. Could've been worse and i would've just dealt with it. Because the other options weren't cars I wanted and used was a nightmare of overpriced trash.

That looks surprisingly good.

My dealer told me specifically unless it was a newer vehicle or a Ford, they really weren't interested in it. They'd turn around and auction it. Makes sense. A new one can be cleaned up and be resold for a big markup. It's harder to find someone with the cash to do a private sell. Most with...

Once they ship it, it's no longer in their hands. Entirely up to the shipping companies, drivers, customs, etc.

Private sale. If you have a really old vehicle they're buying it cheap to take it to auction where it will be bought by a shall used car lot, a junk yard looking for parts, or a scrapper. In the end, you'll either get a better price or sell a car to someone that needs one for a better price...

Were you towing or had a heavy load (lots of people and stuff?)? Was it on hills or flat? Speed at the time? Were you in hybrid or electric at the time? Being a new vehicle the guess will be that it's just a faulty or loose sensor. Especially since it still drove without otherwise an issue...

So far one time it was spot on, the rest is within a mpg of the display. Usually lower, but once higher. It's hard to fill exactly back up to the previous level since you're not supposed to top off hybrid pressurized gas tank.

Several factors compared to the F150. No frame means the bottom of the cab sits where the bottom of the frame would traditionally be. The floor is thinner. The clearance is lower. For width, the center console is not the giant monstrosity the F150s have. It's more car like. The doors are much...

Tell them it's a passenger pickup. Under 3/4 ton. I did and paid $46 and transferred tags from a van. My F150 was the higher priced tag. I'm hoping no issues when I renew next year.
