This is about my 20th Ford plus the hundreds I’ve rented. It was a fun post and yes both engines are great. One blows up or shuts off more, but that’s a different day. Of course the cluster isn’t accurate, that’s been true since the 80s, buts it’s the reference we all use. Actual pump was 35mpg...

That’s when I arrived. It was 97and 90% humidity when I left, the last hour it rained and the sun went down, so it cooled off a lot. I live in Chicago, it’s been hot all week. QUOTE="reneau, post: 635641, member: 21178"] When you say "hot summer trip" are you referring to the temperature...

That seemed a bit “optimistic”.

That’s insane, glad it’s working for you. It’s a work truck that gets driven a lot, mostly highway, so probably not as good of a fit. Plus the wait time to get one made it a no-go. My personal ride I might do a hybrid.

It would never see 42 with my usage. It’s always loaded with tools and equipment and all highway miles at 70+ mph. This was one of the lighter loads and admittedly slower speeds. Just ordered a 24 AWD to make winter driving a little better. The FWD has a bit of time laying down the power...

It’s loaded with 500-1000 pounds of tools and equipment daily and lives on the highway including Chicago winters. A hybrid I don’t think would return super high numbers in my case.

Yea, it’s been great. Hauls a lot of tools and equipment and lives on the highway. Just ordered a 24 AWD one.

Work truck that sees about 100 miles a day. It was a year old yesterday.

For sure, they all have their place. It’s a work truck so it’s always loaded and on the highway. They are both great for their intended uses.

It was more of a fun post but your idea of driving like a bat outta hell must be different than mine. 🤷‍♂️

The dealer I went with for my 2024 order said mobile service needs 1.5-2 hours, so I scheduled it with them. The original dealer called back after canceling the appointment and apologized saying they didn’t know where the service department got their estimate from. They had told me they did...

I put 300K miles on a Ranger and this is so true. It was a 2.5 4cyl with the stick and it was dog slow but never needed anything.

It is, this was more of a fun post. I’m glad the hybrid exists, now they just need an AWD one if they ever work the kinks out of the hybrid.

True. I am almost all highway miles or suburban roads, very little city driving. The hybrid has its place for sure but given the recalls and issues with it along with the price hike, paying an extra $1500 for AWD and turbo is an easy choice for me. Just ordered a 24 AWD to go along with the FWD one.

Exactly. I just ordered a 24 with AWD. Between the recalls and issues with the hybrid, plus the price increase, it wasn’t worth it. $1,500 more for turbo power plus AWD was an easy decision.

Hot summer trip from Chicago to Wisconsin with about 300 pounds of tools. ‘22 XL Ecoboost FWD

figured as much. Same dealer that called me on order day and told me $5K over sticker.

That’s what I assumed. When I first scheduled it, they said it would be a few hours.

For the airbag recall, dealer just called and after two weeks of ordering parts, they said they need it “for at least two days, maybe 3”. Does this really take that long or should I find someone else to do it?

Same here and I’ve ordered two 2022s from them already. It all worked out though.
