UPDATE: I just filled up; 315 miles, 8.2 gallons for 38.4mpg. This was mostly interstate driving at 60. The truck calculated 43mpg.

My '08 Escape was still showing 20mph highway miles at 525k and dying. With my '23 XLT hybrid, mileage has become something of a game (not quite hypermiling, though) and if I keep my highway speed at 60, my overall mileage comes in at around 40mpg, calculated at the pump. Computed mileage shows...

Cool! I went from an AWD Escape to my FWD Mav. Mine's a '23; had AWD been available, I would have gone for it--just in case. :wink:

Same here. If the weather gets that bad, I am better off staying home! :like: I asked because the OP is Canadian and I've seen reviews by Canadian owners who were good with FWD in winter. Since AWD is now an option with hybrids, I was wondering if her Mav was so equipped

Good looking wheels! Front wheel drive or all-wheel? I like that green color, but living in the hot, sunny southeastern US, I wanted a lighter color to reflect sunlight, so I went with 'Alien Blue' (Area 51) and a white hard cap over the back.

The cap on my truck:

Can you fit a bag in it as a liner? I'm currently using a plastic grocery bag hooked on the corner of the glove box lid.

What is your purpose and need? Since I use my Mav as a work truck, I need a permanent cover to protect materials and equipment. For me, that's a hard shell, but they are costly. I got a Ford-badged cap through a Ford dealer. It was built by Leer and it cost me over $5.5k, including...

I, too am learning how to run the climate control of my '23 XLT hybrid in cool weather. I often wonder what's going on when I don't feel breeze from the vents; I presume that the system is somehow trying to maintain the selected temp, given the outside temp. One thing I will try is turning the...

I just had a surprising tire spin in my FWD: From a standing start on a gentle, wet slope (a light change at an intersection), my tires were slipping as I applied normal gas. A bit startling, to say the least.

Cool! My '23 XLT hybrid is FWD, and I'm quite tickled with it, but I wondered about the mileage difference; you sealed the deal on my next one being AWD.

As I read the first post, I wondered if he went to a 'Qwik Lube' type franchise. I've heard lots of horror stories, and wasn't pleased the one time I went. I've only had one change on my August buy '23 hybrid (I think it's the second for the truck) and I went to a small, private shop that I...

Thanks for the heads-up. I never gave much thought to cabin air filters--I only changed the filter in my old Escape once in over 300k miles. Since I'm such a nice guy... 😎

Who knew filling up could be so much fun? I generally refill at half a tank, at the Leeds, AL Buc-ees, it usually runs around $16.

Nice!! Given that I needed to protect materials from weather, I felt committed to a hard shell, but for camping, yours looks execllent!

Ain’t that the truth…

I finally got my Ford-badged Leer cap last week and was installed at Dobbs Ford in Birmingham AL. Total cost was just under $5500 (gulp)

" Cla-ss.CLA-ass--SHUT UP!!" 🤣

The fun of Mavericks...Ecoboost drivers talk about mph, hybrid owners carry on about mpg--but both do well in either category. 😎

Thanks for the laugh!
