Hybrid will be fine if you can take advantage of the higher MPG when not towing. While towing the MPG of either truck will be nearly identical. Mountains will be fine. Maybe drop 10 MPH on the steepest hills.

For ~60 seconds or less. You won't be able to do that all day.

In short, no they did not. 😅 No stamp on mine. Please provide a photo of yours. Anyone citing federal law is citing commercial law. Anyone citing weight related rules of a state law are almost certainly reading from the commercial section of state law. Hope that helps clears up the confusion.

High rpms while coasting indicate engine braking.

The "charging" indicators are rather rudimentary and do lie to you sometimes. When the battery is full and you continue to go downhill it will continue to indicate charging even though it is not. Designers wanted to keep things simple and did not add separate indicators for engine braking. It...

Funny guy. How many times do you wish to be proven wrong? Hint: "ratings" are voluntary. Not mandated by law or verified by any agency. They give buyers some idea of what to expect out of a vehicle. They are not absolutes. P.S. vehicles with no tow rating (1965 VW bug?) are legally allowed to...

Towing any weight you want for non-commercial is NOT ILLEGAL in 49 states. Connecticut is a grey area. I've done extensive research and yes my particular insurance has no exclusions or limitations based on vehicle or trailer weight. I suggest you call yours to find out. For commercial...

Let me make an analogy for you. I used to teach High School Shop Class. We had drill presses. Band Saws Jig saws Belt Sanders Disc Sanders Dremel tools Soldering irons And more. Never had a kid injure themselves with a power tool. Ever. I had two kids (different years) cut themselves with...

People think they have to make compromises when choosing the hybrid over ecoboost. I think this is false. I have found only one compromise (for the higher net MPG): Lower top speed when pulling a high profile trailer. Pulling my RV my hybrid maxes out at about 65 MPH. I think the EcoBoost...

At least as reported in MTC I'm probably in second place for most towing with a 2022 FWD Hybrid. I've towed something big and heavy for about 16,000 miles out of 65,000. About 25% of the miles I'm towing. Never had the brake feel you describe. I suspect maybe your brake controller is not...

In a 2022 XLT with key start, no settings to change. It won't timeout with a physical key inserted. I have heard in push to start truck there is a setting that is easy to toggle on and off to keep or remove the timer.

Anyone have any color other than black? I've only seen black and red. Red was on a vehicle not a Maverick.

Maverick is way quieter than a generator AND has 10% or 15% duty cycle. It is silent "most" of the time. 😎

Do not put a LiFePo battery in your Ford truck. High probability of fire. It is not compatible. With your new AGM keep it heathy for 7 or 8 years, maybe more by programming your parking lights to be full time running lights. It's probably a fluke, but it works. You may never have to buy...

There's no reason an EcoBoost truck couldn't do the same. It will just use more than "trivial" gasoline. Estimates: Hybrid: 0.05 gallons per hour EB: 0.3 to 0.5 gallons per hour

I have a 17 foot full feature travel trailer. One night I used the Maverick's built-in 120 VAC inverter to power the 120 VAC outlets in the RV. Powers a 36" TV, Blu-ray player, Ryobi tool battery charger, any small household accessories. Wife even found a one-slice toaster oven (flat not...

Agree. And my '22 hybrid does this with headlamps or parking lamps or trailer lamps on. Otherwise it doesn't- allowing slow continuous discharge.

Please note: To unlock a locked tailgate the key has to be used at an angle- not level with the ground. Weird. Frustrating. But true.

I resemble that remark!

I was worried about that too. So get the soft kind so the wind will just push them out of the way. 🤓
