Living in a hilly environment, I can tell you with my EB that anything above 60-65 MPH pays an excessive MPG toll on any grade. I can maintain about 27-29 MPG on the highway at 65 MPH in most places. But at 70, my MPGs goes down and by 80 MPH, I'm averaging 19-20 MPG.
It's all about the...
If there ends up being a Maverick Sport, it's going to be a package or trim like it is for Explorer/F150. Not a different vehicle. Kinda like an ST appearance package.
Gets you some sportier looking wheels, some red trim pieces, embroidered seats, rear bedside decals, maybe the B&O sound...
It's not getting hacked in Forscan per se, using Forscan allows another selection already programmed in the system to be used. These code modifications being written about in the MTC threads involve editing a code sequence that calls up a different existing module setting that has already been...
It needs radar because in order to activate lane centering, adaptive cruise control needs to be set. No adaptive cruise control, no lane centering. They work together.
I wouldn't quite characterize the front seat as claustrophobic in the SC. But it's more cozy feeling. Cockpit-like. The back seats are claustrophobic, IMHO. And that's a little because of the actual space, but mostly because of the high sweeping sill line on the rear doors. So much less...
Good highlight. He's talking about region versus region scheduling. And how they may focus on allocations in certain regions over others. And EV regions may get a Hybrid focus and end up with a different Hybrid/EB scheduling ratio than overall nationally.
Another interesting dynamic in the...
His EV State comment was very specific to the Lightning. He just then speculated maybe it also has an impact on Hybrid. But his observation was based on Lightnings.
An EV State is a state with an electric vehicle mandate or state tax incentive.
I didn't buy the Lariat Lux for the Active X seats. But I have to admit I like them better than the leather seats I've had. If they hold up better and never crack/split/discolor/fade, I will be a full on convert. Faux leather has come a long way. And likely is going to get more and more...
I had this problem once happen on my unit (unmodified Lariat Lux Sync 3). I had to reselect something else to take its place on my instrument cluster. I then hard rebooted my stereo. Turned off the truck. Waited 30 seconds, restarted. Reselected Now Playing back in the instrument cluster...
Ford may have been better to drop the color names on some of these paint colors. Kinda like Area 51. They just left it "Area 51" not Area 51 Blue. I think Hot Pepper is fine. It doesn't have to have the red on the end. Being just Area 51 hasn't hurt sales. It's the most popular color...
I felt this way about the Cyber Orange at first. Especially with the Lariat interior. I held my nose and ordered it anyway. But after getting the truck and seeing it in person, it actually works way better than I imagined. I actually like it now. Or I have a classic case of Stockholm Syndrome.
