We've done LA to Santa Cruz, CA twice for roller derby tournaments. 700 miles round trip. 2 teens in the back. Super smelly skating gear in the truck bed safely away from cabin air. Such a great road trip vehicle!!! Full tank for each leg. Hybrid XLT mostly 80 on the freeway. Powered over...
100%! Hybrids and plug-in hybrids are the answer for the next 20-30 years. My Maverick gets 2X the MPGs as my Mini. The only "green" that makes policy decisions are the dollars. EV's were chosen because those lobbiests greased the right palms. This is America. It's always about money.
We're averaging 42 with my teen driving to school 😱 - half surface streets/half freeway and the rest mostly freeway driving. The summer should be interesting without that daily trip on the freeway...
Condolences about your Mom. Lost mine 2 years ago.
The only thing I can add is that I too ordered in October 21. I got my 23 Mav in early February and indeed had to pay the 23 price and wait for Ford to send a check to my dealer and then they cut me a check for $2750. It took about a month...
I loved the look of the SC - not really a truck but a sexy SUV with an open bed. Didn't love the price or the mpg. When I saw the Mav was a hybrid, I was sold. We've had our XLT Hybrid for a month or so. LOVE it!!!
