I think the answer to that was in your previously posted reply. The engine in the ecoboost runs continusousy like most ice powered vehicles, where the hybrid's fuel powered engine powers up and turns off repeatedly while the truck is being driven. The extra equipment in the hybrid is to maintain...

Thanks for post #113. No point in further experimentation or conjecture from my perspective. It seems obvious that the Ford Maverick Hybrid is a different beast, and the stated capacity by Ford was stated for a reason. The recommendation to fill up at ~ 1/4 tank and no top up after the first...

I plug in my motorcycle to my Noco every time I park it, and the AGM typically lasts a decade. Obviously the battery drain is a problem on some vehicles, but as others have stated, the fix for the actual problem has been elusive. My suggestion was just that. An elusive parasitic drain can...

In case you didn't read the thread that reached Saturn, one "temporary fix" that costs a lot less than a battery replacement is to get a battery maintainer and let in charge while it's in the garage or driveway. These are available to run with either chorded utility power or with a solar panel...

Well, that's evidence for an even greater fuel capacity understatement. If you get fuel when the warning light comes on, and you can put nearly a gallon over stated capacity, the stated 13.8 is clearly wrong unless the gas station pump is off by more than 5%. That's doubtful. Since there is...

Neither do EV drivers, but they don't have the option of bringing back a gallon of electricity. ;) The 2 gallon under E is likely the case here. An "empty" 13.8 gallon tank with a 2 gallon "reserve" would mean the tank when filled to first click would hold 15.8 gallons, and a very slow feed or...

Well okay then. It makes little sense that Ford significantly understates their tank volume, but they obviously do, as based on your personal experience, I have to agree with you. Otherwise you would be violating several laws of physics to accomplish that feat (unless of course you got the...

Good point. My bad. Thanks for the correction.

It looks like your great nephew knows how to park... :teehee:

It's a strap, so it's used for strapping... Edit: I just realized you have a lariat, and that strap could also be a lariat, albeit a small one. In any case, not included in the 25 hybrid.

As far as driven past the estimated, that's just infotainment, and a projection based on previous usage because it can't predict the future. I've got a run where the truck got a 57 mpg average. That is a bit less than 1 gallon for the mileage you noted after the expected run dry estimate...

Really. On most cars, E for empty does not include a varying number of gallons of reserve fuel. Why would Ford expect an owner to use only a portion of their fuel? That assertion sounds ludicrous. Considering that people are all about range in a vehicle, why would Ford state the fuel tank...

Evaporative systems being flooded by an overfilled tank is not an "urban legend". I doubt anyone actually cares whether or not you run on fumes, but that doesn't mean that a bad habit should be recommended. Routinely running a car to empty with the possibility of getting stuck in traffic...

The Atkinson engine in the hybrid has high compression, but it's a different beast than the Otto cycle Ecoboost. The difference between regular and premium's octane rating is primarily to prevent detonation/knock. In high heat and heavy load towing, you would only really NEED super if you got...

All fuel tanks have "seemingly unusable" aka "non pumpable" internal interior room, and for a good reason: Liquids expand when they warm up. The space that can't easily (or not at all) be filled allows for a fuel tank that's topped up when cold to expand without causing problems to an...

According to my 2025 searchable Owners Manual, it states fuel capacity as: Hybrid Electric 13.8 US gallons (page 164. of 572) All other variants 16.5 US gallons (page 165) Slightly off topic bank, but I can recall when owner's manuals looked more like brochures than the current unabridged...

Actually they completely eliminated Auto Stop Start. It's part of the hybrid upgrade package... ;)

The switch to low viscosity oils seem to be primarily driven by the goal of improvement in CAFE fleet numbers, rather than engine longevity. The 0 or 5 on 0/20 5/20 is for the cold viscosity rating, so it's really 20 weight for either in operational conditions. Unless you are in artic...

I didn't see this question answered so far so... A trickle charger typically puts out its rated amperage regardless of the battery need, so it can overcharge and damage the battery. OTOH, using a battery MAINTAINER on a battery is a good thing. It will keep it charged up and batteries like...

So you didn't NEED to trade it in because the ash tray was full??? 😉
