  3. After 574 Days We Have a Atlas Blue Lariat Hybrid

    I got it up to 34 MPG around town during the cooler weather (EPA Urban is 27). 30 MPG on our 400 mile RT (28 outbound, 32 on the way back) at about 80 MPH! Milage dropped to 30 when the temperature got to 100.
  4. After 574 Days We Have a Atlas Blue Lariat Hybrid

    My Maverick has a pad for inductive charging but I don't think my Samsung Galaxy has that feature.
  5. After 574 Days We Have a Atlas Blue Lariat Hybrid

    I realized the last time I had a 'Crew Cab' pickup (or at least a 4-seater) I built them myself over 50 years ago!
  6. After 574 Days We Have a Atlas Blue Lariat Hybrid

    Thanks, I must admit I thought the power sliding rear window was a bit pointless. I thought the whole rear window dropped down!
  7. After 574 Days We Have a Atlas Blue Lariat Hybrid

    Traded in the EcoSport and picked up our new Maverick yesterday, seems a bit of an anticlimax after waiting and reading about them for so long. It's just a car - there are more important things in life! Seems OK, it's big! Just fits in the garage with no room to spare. I'll miss the EcoSport...

    36, sticker explains it:

    After 574 days, nearly 18 months since ordered we have an Atlas Blue Lariat Hybrid in the drive My wife likes it because it's Blue, Mugsy dog likes it because he thinks we are going for a ride!
  11. Science-ing Auto Start Stop

    Yea, I've had cars I had to park on a hill so I could bump start them but modern GDI engines literally start 'first piston up' - the ECU 'remembers' where the crank stopped.
  12. Now in Production, Finally........

    Picking up my Lariat Hybrid today, arrived at the BHC dealer yesterday. Did you get yours yet?
  13. DIY - Disable Auto Start / Stop + Default to a Drive Mode (MY ‘25 update)

    I don't like to have the engine idling, I believe in Switzerland it's illegal to have your vehicle idling at a light or railroad crossing. Don't know how or if they enforce this. I'm told if you are sitting with the engine idling people will scowl and point at you:(.
  14. Can Anyone Explain How the Hybrid CVT Works

    Agreed, when I saw 'CVT' I was thinking belt drive and was actually looking forward to driving a modern CVT - the last time I drove cars with a CVT transmission was in the '60s (DAFs).
  15. Can Anyone Explain How the Hybrid CVT Works

    This is a really good explanation of how the 2 Motor/Generators and the planetary gearset work together, the graphic allows you to play with the MG1 and MG2 speeds vs engine RPM and road speed. You can even reverse with just MG2 or with the engine running. It's the Toyota 'Power Split' device...
  16. i accidentally made this thread [NO POLITICS, NO OFFENSIVE POSTS, NO NSFW]

    If it wasn't for half the people on this thread . . . . . the other half would be all of them🤔🙄.
  17. What Hidden Features have you noticed?

    It's called the 'Drip Wipe' to get the drips after windshield washer operation. My EcoSport doesn't have it and it's annoying.
