Check engine light appeared in January. Problem diagnosis: Faulty heat exchanger. Common Ford problem apparently. Here are the photos of the replacement unit and where they cut the exhaust and clamped new unit.
I was worried about owning a buzzkill CVT, but this E-CVT with the hybrid is slick.
Ownd mine since June 2022, 20,000 KM. Towed this for about 5000 KM. 1440lb trailer, 5100lb combined. Average about 26mpg while towing. The E-CVT and hybrid system keep things in the sweet spot. No annoying gear...
1980 Glendale Scooter 414. 14 feet tongue to bumper. 1440 lbs. Leaves about 900 lbs to play with. Secondary hwys are comfortable. Anything above 100 kph gets squirrely. I'll be putting a simple anti-sway kit on this year. Otherwise, the Maverick Hybrid towed this thing around about 5000 km last...
I'm the OP. The trailer is actually 1440lbs according to the CAT scale. As far as the frontage area, Fords own advertising seems to disregard this. I put about 5000k towing this trailer with out a hiccup.
Same here. In comfortable weather averaging 40mpg, colder weather drops to 34-32mpg. It still makes me smile when comparing it to my 2015 3.5 ecoboost F150 lol.
I have a 1500lb 1980 travel trailer, weighed everything at a cat scale. Tongue weight approximately 180 lbs. Frontal area square footage well beyond recommendations. Pulls great. Recently did a 320 mile trip at approximately 55 mph and averaged over 25 mpg with the hybrid.
According to Ford, without tow package, the frontal aera is limited to 20 sq. ft. With tow package, it's 40 sq. ft.
Some of the promotional material seems to violate this. I have an XL Hybrid with a 10 ft 1800 lb travel trailer. I'm driving myself crazy wondering if I'm going to do damage to...
XL hybrid with factory hitch. 7 to 4 pin connector. 1860 lb trailer. Just girlfriend and I, we pack light. Am I pushing it? Personally, I think not. Just towed it home.
Don't know why I can't post in aftermarket wheels, but here it is... RTX Concord 17X7.5 38 offset with factory XL/XLT tires on XL Hybrid. Traded in a 2015 F-150 XLT Supercab 4X4 3.5 Ecoboost. Lots to like here.
