  1. Gas mileage suddenly significantly lower in Hybrid

    No heated seats or steering wheel in my XLT; Climate system on manual, I don't go out every day anyway, so I'll just have to wear heavier jacket and wait it out till Spring. I did set tires to 35psi during the 25 degree chill this morning
  2. Gas mileage suddenly significantly lower in Hybrid

    Yeah, 30+ mpg winter is still better than my '02 Ranger's 19mpg overall average; I just wasn't aware of the cold weather's effect on a hybrid's mpg since I had not seen it mentioned anywhere on this forum or elsewhere; feel better knowing it's the "nature of the beast" and not something to...
  3. Gas mileage suddenly significantly lower in Hybrid

    Same gas station as usual; good idea on brake calipers~~~~ going to correct tire PSI to 35 "cold" and see what happens. But here's another thought~~~ is 35psi at 20 degree air temp the same as 35psi at 45 degree air temp? Does the door sticker infer to check tire pressure after truck is sitting...

  8. Gas mileage suddenly significantly lower in Hybrid

    No change in tires; original factory Continentals. Location is Eastern Seabord, Mid-Atlantic; just got first blast of cold weather in last two weeks & have noticed ICE "noise" more than usual so that's the Third variable I didn't mention~~~So using the heater appears to be the suspected...
  9. Gas mileage suddenly significantly lower in Hybrid

    My '24 Hybrid XLT with 6,000 miles on it has suddenly dropped in MPG from 43 to less than 30 in last two fillups. No changes in driving habits ( no towing ever) , only two variables I can think of are 1) cold winter weather, 2) just noticed tire PSI is around 32 even after 50 mile trip in 35...

    Good information to know, thanks
  11. Custom lower bumper grille insert I added to my 2024

    Good for stopping rocks from ruining radiator; I did a similar thing but put mine on outside of grill because I'm not smart enough to get the bumper assembly off and back on properly. Great pics you took
  12. 2023 Hybrid Keeps Dieing ...

    Yeah, and they don't have to pay for the extra fuel; Doesn't make sense to have to jump a new vehicle~~~ very embarrassing to have neighbors watching..... It's a cheesy battery issue and unless you keep pressing for a new battery, the dealers aren't going to cough up a new one
  13. 2023 Hybrid Keeps Dieing ...

    If you have a case number, try getting Ford rep to call dealer (with you on the conference call) and discuss the case number to get the problem resolved. That will get dealer's attention; I had to do this after a week of "bs" from the dealer; they would charge the original battery in the...
  14. Spare Tire Wisdom

    I had to take my "$115 full size non-matching Atlas spare" off to get my '24 XLT Hybrid undercoated. The dealer would not do it for me; and they warned that an aftermarket shop doing it could void my warranty. ( don't need that problem a year or more from now). So, I'm glad I did it myself...

  18. To recall or not to recall?

    Did you press & hold down on the "three bars" that's similar to newer steering wheel ( just doesn't say Menu under three bars)? Maybe that will bring up your Menu settings functions options~~~~ or try calling FordPass department 800.883.2966 & maybe someone there can help you resolve issue.
  19. Dashboard Covers

    Doesn't seem to work on Android phone; guess I need to use laptop when attaching a file
  20. To recall or not to recall?

    How many vehicles over how many years have had a recall issued for faulty stop lamps issues? I agree that you can tap your brakes if you're backed up against a wall to see if they're active~~~~ but what's the solution once you get on the road and come to a stop sign? Hard to get out and check...
