To my analog dinosaur brain, LOW and ECO make my truck feel like it's straining.

I'm getting a hard shell (and paying through the nose for it), but for a camping trip I should be able to drape and stake a tarp over the back hatch.

Thanks. It's really not a big deal, just a whim. It's only the at-pump calculation that actually counts.

What I stress about is forgetting to check the mileage when I turn my Mav hybrid off... The truck is still new enough for me that I still get a kick out of that wonderful 40+ (computed) mileage--when I remember to check it... I DO compute actual mileage when I fill up; sadly, it's a bit less...

This video does a good job explaining how the cooling system works, and how its affected by extreme temps (in this case, Arizona summer heat). It's also noted that deep cold has similar mileage results.

While waiting on my hybrid, I watched a similar video where the salient point was made that these hybrid engines are designed with this phenomenon in mind, so risk is minimized if not eliminated.

Thanks. 😎 Absolutely NOT a deal-breaker. 😜

PLUS fogged up windows...

That's what I've been doing. Given that the climate control is supposed to bring the cabin temp to the set figure, it seems that the AC should automatically cut on to cool temp down to the set number. HONESTLY, though, if that's my worst complaint, I'm in a really good place!

I do, and while the fan comes back on, the AC light doesn't.

Yep. It's starting it back up that I have questions about

I hope I can run AC along with heat in cold weather, to keep condensation off the windshield and windows--a real irritation and possible risk at night.

Thanks. My XLT only has single zone CC; I've often wondered how dual zones played together.

I wonder about the opposite. In the mild late summer mornings here in Birmingham AL, I like to switch the climate control in my XLT off and lower the windows. When it gets warm and I switch the CC back on by pushing the rotating button, the fan comes on, but the AC button doesn't light up on...

Hey, I LIKE boring--especially as I made the first payment on my XLT hybrid today. 😎

Cool! Thanks.

How is it secured? Can you slide it out when not needed?

I just wish the ECO symbol was a dollar sign, for 'Economy'. When I think 'Ecology', I have a sudden urge to let my hair grow, wear beads and eat tofu...😜 To my gas-engine trained senses, the sensations that come with ECO mode feels like the truck is struggling.

I do a fair amount of interstate cruising and even with cruise control engaged )70mph max), I see a fair amount of 'electric driving' going down hills. On the local bypass (I-459), I try to set for 60. In standard mode, this shows low to mid-40s when calculated at the pump. When I have set...

Thanks!🙂 Ignorance reduced--a bit.😉
