  1. Hybrid can tow 2000#...how many #s do you feel comfortable towing with it?

    FYI a very long-winded discourse on why US and European tow ratings are different. Bottom line - different methodology used for tow safety. That Jetta couldn't do the J2807 Davis Dam test and keep it's European tow rating... Great Explanation for USA vs EU Tow Ratings | Toyota RAV4 Forums...

  4. Why no LED DRL's on XLT?

    I see you're correct (LED headlights), very nice feature to have on even lowest trim level.

  5. Why no LED DRL's on XLT?

  8. Tonneau Covers and MPG Gas Mileage effect?

    This actually is a controversial topic in general. Some say yes, some say no. Over a lot of highway miles in different 6.5 ft bed F150's and an 8 ft bed F250 I've seen a small increase using a soft rollup tonneau (light weight). Of course the normal mpg's on these trucks were nowhere near the...

  13. Oil change schedule / interval? Synthetic oil?

    A good bet is, for the Maverick, check out whatever the 2021 Escape owners manual says for the 2.5l Atkinson engine/2.0l EB engine. Use the IOLM (intelligent oil life monitor) you'll have with the Maverick to determine when you should change the oil, it will tell you when you're within xx% of...

  17. Underbody foam (under engine bay) will hopefully have aftermarket plastic / carbon fiber replacement

    I don't know enough on the actual innards geometry of either the 2.5l Atkinson cycle or 2.0l Egoboost engines to know how successful an oil extractor is on these, somebody with knowledge please chime in.

  18. Sorry - I have to ask... (1L water bottles storage)
