Good points on rebates, 120v charging and maybe stale gas not being an issue. Probably comes down to cost difference over time being main issue, weight etc.
I really want a PHEV trucklette also, but 90% more batteries is gonna cost a whole lot more. Only other downside is we have electric car and one charger, so there would be driveway fights for the plug. Adding another plug means sub panel and a bunch of other costs donāt feel like dealing with at...
Truly sucks to have a brand new vehicle do this. Ford should be doing everything possible. Thereās another thread on this in the hybrid section, youāre not the first unfortunately. Thread titled fun stopsā¦.
Pretty sure the cats are between the engine and firewall, not hanging underneath. Pretty much impossible to get, hybrid is like that for sure, not sure about EB.
39 mpg, haha, no chance. And the tuned EB 2.0 will last forever. My custom tuned ST has 140,000 miles on the tune, Steeda intercooler etc, zero issues.
What a major drag. Hopefully this is limited and Ford fixes you guys up fast. Considering the 5000 mile reviews, videos showing 0-60 runs, towing and even off road stuff in the Hybrid, clearly there are plenty of them not having slipping issues.
Would also think Escapes and Fusions etc would...
I searched, didnāt see anything on the video that TFL Truck YT channel posted about a crew cab 4x4 small truck. Possibly built on the Outlander platform, possibly a PHEV option like the Outlander. Honestly, a PHEV mitsu 4x4 actually testing on US roads right now would be amazing. I would...
Did you get 225 size? Are they 3 peak snow rated? I kind of want a better tire, but if I ever get hybrid, the last thing I want is to hurt the mileage efficiency with the wrong tire etc.
Good luck, 5 months turn around would be amazing. I ordered a hybrid into the lower mainland a couple weeks ago, probably going to be a long wait. I had an Okanagan dealer offer a bit under msrp also, but all the driving, time and gas , I couldnāt be bothered
For whats it worth, I used the 910S on my custom tuned 2012 Focus ST for 155,000 miles , zero issues. Car pulled as hard at 155k as it did at 2500 which is when I tuned it. I also just ran the standard motor craft oil, not full synth
Bought first year Focus ST, picked up Oct 2012, within 15k transmission gone. Ford air shipped a replacement and was installed 48hrs after diagnosis. Put 155,000 miles on that tranny and motor , zero issues.
Just bad luck of the draw hopefully.
I thought I'd bought a crappy product, but just...
