I haven't had my Mav hybrid very long and drive in Normal or Eco mode, but I always tell people, you should try some features of your vehicle at least once and then you know how it will react, and you know that you have it available the circumstances come up where you need that feature.

My previous car (Fiesta) had 85k miles and would start needing maintenance, struts, maybe wheel bearings, etc. and it had the DCT trans and was on the verge of starting to lose more value as a trade-in.
Chose Maverick for multiple reasons.
Had the hybrid and getting better gas mileage than the...
Iāve been buying synthetic oil for years from Walmart because they have great prices on the synthetic oil.
it ends up being a couple bucks more than dino oil.
between the last few vehicles Iāve put on over 250000 miles and I would change in 10-12 k miles range because most of my driving has...
Just picked my Maverick Thursday with 42 miles on it and now have 311 miles.
I havenāt done much hard accelerations but I have gotten up there in mph. Started using eco mode and ev coach today and did a trip of about 130 miles round trip and the displayed mpg is showing 41.4 mpg.
I know that...
I couldnāt find any details on the rebate, almost thought they made it up or picked some rebate I couldnāt officially be eligible for but I wasnāt going to argue with saving an extra $750!
Originally I wanted a 25 with AWD but they were either basic trucks or too expensive and knew they wouldnāt...
I found a website called caredge.com that provided some great free information. I wasnāt willing to shell out for their paid info, since it was just a onetime purchase for me
You can do search in your area and it will show ādays on marketā and that can give you some leverage.
it also showed...
Iāll check it out but Iāll probably keep using the spreadsheet I built, since Iām used to it and gives me the info I need, plus I keep it on google drive so I can access anywhere/ anytime
on my previous cars, Iāve used a spreadsheet that gives me tank average mpg, total average for the life of the car, plus the cost per mile for fuel.
Also get a total dollars spent for gas.
Spent $6400 for 85000 miles on my 2019 Fiesta
Iām really happy with it so far, Iām getting great mileage showing on the display looking forward to filling it up and seeing how close the display matches actual calculates mileage.
I got a kick out of watching the āmiles to emptyā number going up, rather than going down! lol!
Do an online search for a Bud Moore maxi-box for a 351c, that with an 850 mechanical double pumper was on it when I got a ticket over 40 years ago for going 109 mile per hour! And that was with a gas tank that was close enough to empty that the engine was coughing a bit going around a sweeping...
It had the 351c and the original engine was gone before I bought it.
Was originally automatic, ac and power steering.
Switched to manual steering, close ratio toploader and no ac!
Later added a 28 spline Detroit locker with 3.89 gears.
can you tell that I miss it?? lol!
I guess that's why the remote beeps the truck and flashes lights! Lol!
This was a long time ago, a friend went out to their car, opened the door started it and drove away and then realized it wasn't their car! I think it was a Plymouth Duster, same color and same key!!
Went with hybrid for the mpg and since itās a ā24, it has the fwd. it has the basic hitch but doesnāt have the tow package.
having power and heated seats was more important as Iāve gotten older!!
With the employee pricing and my old ride (2019 Fiesta) hitting 85k and would be needing some maintenance soon, is was a no brainer to start checking out options.
I tried looking at '25s but they didn't have the features I wanted in my price point, so I stumbled on a 2024 XLT with the luxury...
