I grew up in South Florida and never understood this when my dad said this to me as well. Then moved to Colorado and was driving back to FL in the 90's. Gauge dropped below a quarter at night in Kansas and I figured I'd pull into the next gas station... Closed. And the next and the next were...

Agree here completely. When I got my BEV 4 years ago, I was coming out of a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Not the most fuel efficient car. I was wanting to get back to a hot hatch or similar really. So I was in the WRX/STI, GTI, A3, Golf R, Focus RS, etc kinda group when I ended up realizing...

Sometimes there are other factors than the one you are looking at. For example my pickup gets 10mpg less in driving a mile with my son than without him. Does his 60lb weight impact my vehicle that much? It's not because of my son, it's because my mom picks him up from school. I drive down a...

All about need vs want vs wallet. Our Maverick is our 2nd vehicle. I'm meh on leather seats. I got the copilot with my XL. My phone case doesn't let me wirelessly charge. I don't use satellite radio. I had a Lariat F150, and the number of times I opened the moonroof or back window I...

That does seem fishy. If it was a stop sale, then there should never have been a sale or taking your money. If they did take your money but then stopped delivery, that's a different subject now. Maybe give Fords recall dept a call? (866) 436-7332 is their number. Ask when the stop...

Same here. It's our 2nd vehicle (so maybe 10k miles a year), and mostly highway where I live (Hybrid really gains ground in city driving where regen is in play more). So if I get weather adjusted 2mpg over for my AWD (more highway) and 2mpg under for the hybrid (more highway), that's a bit...

It's not really related to that. Take the time during covid, it wasn't US gas prices that dropped then exploded as workers came back it was all over the world. Australia, India, South Korea, UK, their numbers did the same exact thing as the US, even nations that didn't rely on US oil imports...

Eagles fan here so I loved the game. Not quite my genre for the halftime show (I like a bit older, the 2022 one with Dre, Snoop, Blige, 50, Eminem etc... Lamar was there but I don't remember him in that mix), but I thought he did well. Active, the dancers I thought were extremely good and...

That is interesting as well. I wish we had on/off peak where I live, that 3 cents would be awesome, that's a penny a mile basically for me and my EV. But the flip side is its simple math here. Our customer charge and 10.9 cents per kWh. Interesting secondary costs there though... but...

Went to a Timberwolves game yesterday and I was on a roll. I passed three (two were company trucks) on the way to the game and in the parking garage I looked over and there were 2 more of them in a space of about 5 parking spots. I'm in a town of about 4k people and know 4 others in town...

I got the same exact ones (same layout on the backing even). I really like them a lot, only thing I've seen was I kind of liked the versions with thicker stripes, but still that's a tiny preference and didn't stop me from these. I missed the installation instructions. Parts were warm...

Very little. Got spoiled with our primary car being an EV. Our secondary was a Kia Soul that we put on about 4k miles a year (whomever drove less got it) and the Maverick replaced that. Enjoying the Mav more and driving it a bit more, and it's not quite the "3 is mine, Kia is hers" but we...

I guess it depends on the person. I live in BFE Minnesota. We take a few road trips every year. Rockies, Smokies, Glacier Nat'l Park, through the UP to Michigan, across Canada to Montreal... no issues. We average over 15k miles a year on our BEV. It's a stop every 3 hours or so for 15-20...

Some are. for me 90% of my charging is at home. So it's about to hit the negatives temps for a few weeks here. Zero times standing outside at the pump. Every morning my car warming up in my non-heated closed garage (no backing out to warm up). 90% of the time, my fillups take me 0 minutes...

My other car is a BEV, so that's not me here. I truly enjoy mine a LOT. I put 80k miles in 5 years on that one and it's our primary vehicle. That said... I don't think I want a truck BEV. I'm not big on the full-size pickup when not towing crowd and that's a big limitation (as is charging...

The Silverado and Colorado in their work truck trim even do the bumper or side step or both. Is there a lower trim than that? My guess is with the low height they decided against spending the time and money to go with it on the Mav. The Colorado has that more pronounced bulge for the back...

same here. Other than my Jeep with the top and doors off, this vehicle is about the best I've had for lack of blind spots. I enjoy it. Not quick like my past vehicles, but a fine ride, nice ride height, I like how it sits for me.

Yup, mostly highway on my ecoboost, was averaging 27 combined (mostly highway here in middle of nowhere Minnesota). It's -18 this morning and hasn't been above zero for a few days now, and getting 22ish. Engine needs to work harder to run at optimal temperature and overcome the drag of...

Similar situation here. I've got a half dozen stop signs and no street lights in my "town". Nearest McDonalds is a 15 mile highway trip, nearest Walmart is a 30 mile all highway trip. I like the extra power, and of course when I was choosing, the EcoBoost was the only AWD. Even now I'd...

Is that official though? If Ford confirms it's getting more power out of an engine you can bet within 2 seconds of finding that data out, they'll put out a press release and have that plastered all over their site. Like you say, originally in June they said 238. Then updated their fact sheet...
