Yes, those are the Michelin X-ice Latitude tires. Lots of snow here now, put a few miles on 'em already in a good mix of conditions, and they're working out well.

I suspect the quality of gas plays into fuel economy quite a bit. Less ethanol, or none, and higher octane gas will produce better fuel economy. Edit... and winter blend gas has less BTUs, will result in lower mpg too.

Found this online regarding Ford AWD system: Ford Intelligent AWD Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is an advanced drivetrain system that is able to monitor hundreds of different pieces of data every second to help improve handling and traction, including: Rate of acceleration Wheel speed...

On the small screen, that AWD display is under "settings", which makes no sense, but there it is. You'd think it would be easier to get to. I'll look into the customizing selecting a screen option - Thnx. Life in Wpg same but probably busier than you remember. There's been lots of growth...

What does it look like on the bigger screen? Can you post a link to your post, or post a pic? Very slippery conditions here today. Melting in places actually. Lots of accidents. Thankful to have AWD and very good snowtires. Looking at the owners manual, I don't think it even gives...

Kind of a cool thing... I was playing around a bit in the snow today, had the AWD display up. Goosing it a bit, spinning the front wheels, you can immediately see the torque being sent to the back wheels, and then once you get up to speed, the reverse happens, you see it shift back to FWD only...

I noticed the cabin air intake is tucked underneath the hood trailing edge, in that trough too. Probably wouldn't be good if that got plugged solid with snow/ice.

Winter fell on our heads up here in the north, had a good dump of snow. One of the things I noted pretty quickly after buying the truck, was how deeply sunken underneath the hood the windshield wipers are. Great for streamlining/drag reduction, but snow & ice accumulate in there. Snow slides...

I'm not a fan of spending big dollars getting Diamond Coating, ceramic coatings applied, when there are so many good waxes available. I've used paste waxes (Turtle Wax, etc.) in the past, but have switched to the NuFinish line of products - their polishes work very well, but are NOT a...

I live in one of the flattest places on the planet, so winds aside, that's helping the fuel economy we get, but as @thunaman says, it's also how you drive. The wife and I generally drive with fuel economy in mind, do the hypermiling thing...

Thnx for posting this up. I've got XLT, same color too, ordered that tonneau when I bought the truck over 3 weeks ago, still waiting (on backorder). How'd you get yours? Looks good! (y)

I think slowing down, cruising at 60 to 65 mph (vice 75+) makes a big difference. Our secondary highways up here are usually posted 90 to 100 km/h, and 4 lane 110 klicks (68 mph).

It was a reliable engine for me tho, zero issues, but very thirsty. I'd see generally about 17 mpg city, 20 to 22 mpg (Imperial) hwy. And 15 to 17 mpg towing our small camper. Am very curious to see how the Maverick compares towing. I suspect the lower gearing of the 4K tow package helps...

Dunno why some people in this thread are giving Buschur such a hard time. Just look at how restrictive the stock intake setup is! The setup that he's fabricated is not dissimilar to the K & N setup I had on my previous truck (Nissan Frontier)... minus the heatshield...

I continue to be impressed by the fuel economy that I'm seeing. I'm 1/2 way thru my 2nd tank and am seeing 7.5 liters/100 kms combined (indicated), with a mix of city, highway and country driving. That works out to 37 mpg Imperial, or 31 mpg US. Coming from an oh-so-thirsty 4.0 liter V-6...

I received an interesting reply from a Ford Canada customer service rep: "The Tonneau cover is a factory option. This means at ordering the Maverick, it can be added on for the additional cost. When it is added aftermarket, it may result in additional costs as the dealership will need to install...

The XLT Maverick we bought comes with just the standard Copilot 360, doesn't have adaptive cruise control, or lane centering. Looking into it, looks like not available with the XLT, only available with top Lariat trim level! I didn't know that when I bought it - I would have liked to have the...

When you do intake and exhaust mods, de-restrict it so to speak, do you see an improvement in fuel economy? Staying out of the boost, driving normally, steady state 60 to 70 mph for example? Impressed by your intake mods - my Nissan Frontier had a K & N intake runner/big air filter kit...

I just sent Ford Canada this... never know, maybe at least I get free install out of it: "Bought my Maverick XLT truck 15 Oct, ordered soft roll-up tonneau cover same day, while there. I was quoted $700 installed. On the Ford accessory website it's CA$461.26 (Part No VNZ6Z-99501A42-B). At...

I'd install it myself "Did you expect the dealer to install it for free?" No. I would install it myself if I could. Looks easy to do:
