I do not have an AWD Mav but I have an AWD Edge. I assume that the powertrains are similar. AWD on Edge also kicks in when the car needs power. Edge AWD is about 500 lbs heavier than Mav FWD Eco, so 1 mpg loss is probably part of the extra weight. Edge seems to have better aerodynamic so it...
Let's talk about mpg here from the same 735 mile round trip with roughly 3000' elevation change between two destinations with mostly highway speeds (mostly 75 mph speed limit).
Mav Hybrid 27-28 mpg with insufficient passing power and it was on a scary side of not going to be able to pass.
Mav...
Which oil did you use? I'm a V6 and V8 person so this is my first turbo. I had not done oil change by myself since I graduated. At 2,700 miles, my drained oil smells very different than the brand new Pennzoil platinum. After running it for 100 miles, the new oil smells like the previously...
For nation/state wide collision centers, the work depends on the location. I brought a car into one of those shops for them to fix bad paint job, the work was horrible and it took forever. The surfaces were not properly sand down prior to repaint. Bubbles were everywhere on clear coat. However...
I drove an Ecoboost for less than 70 miles two weeks after an oil change. Oil life indicator showed 96% life left. Then I took the car out of town for 700+ miles. The oil life indicator is now showing 95% or 1% more after adding 700+ miles. The oil indicator seems to be doing its job.
We would not know about the demand until order bank closing is announced. I am quite certain that Maverick is still selling like a hot cake. If I am in a market for a subcompact car like a Corolla ($21,700), I would just go for a truck $23,400 (bigger, more power, with truck bed). All prices...
You were lucky to get $50 gift card. In the past, when I contacted the market team, I did not get any useful answer and I was told to contact the dealership. When I asked about the gift card, I was told to contact the dealership too.
It took just a little 2 weeks from the day I went to the local DMV for the title to arrive in the mail. It took about a week for Austin office to creat a title and a week for shipping process.
Granger website added $100k on customer orders. This has been discussed somewhere on this forum. I would not be surprised if we will keep seeing bad comments about Granger Ford. They are just an honest dealership who is willing to pass saving to folks here while other decided not to do the same...
I had to deal with a GM once. He listened to the facts and made things rights. I had to deal with staffs and other managers but I got tired of them so I made an appointment with GM. I told him that I preferred to talk with him first since I found his email from google reviews. No need to contact...
The quality of work is not that good anymore. I would tell the dealership that I would post before and after photos on Google reviews. I would tell them that photos have time stamp and geotagging to back up the fact. I would tell them that there would probably be more customers taking photo at...
Starting MSRP was less than $20k plus destination. All trim are built from the same frame. The noises are unbearable for some including me. If you used to drive a MB or any car with good sound dampening, road noises and wind noises from side mirrors from a Maverick would be very loud.
An identical trip on I-20 heading West out of Dallas for a Hybrid and EB: A Hybrid (several trips) yielded 27-28+ mpg. You see it correctly. A lot of hills and about 3,000' grade change. An EB (one trip) yielded 29+ mpg. The numbers are pretty close. EB has way more power and we does not have to...
Needed to drill four holes, used my own rivets, and a hammer. The problems were expected per comments on this forum, so I installed PPF at the tip of the hood before wrestling with the bug deflector.
It is a mail offer. I think Ford gives them out almost year round to current/past owners and potential buyers. It is a good marketing. Some models get more and some are excluded.
I think you have ionic salts in your water. RO will do. I know some people have RO for the whole house. That is going to be environment unfriendly even at 50% rejection rate. I would use tap water for general wash and then use RO water for the final rinse. To accomplish this, I would need an...
