July 31st, 2021 order here. XLT hybrid. Couldn’t wait any longer due to car falling apart and I got my hands on a 2022 rav 4 hybrid….so I’m out. I’ve spent the last year planning and oogling this truck. Had everything picked out for upgrades. And I just wanted to say that I’m upset at Ford. I’m...

On the last week of April I took off the luxury package and co pilot to get my build date sooner like Ford said to do. I added a couple things back on that weren’t constrained. I called Ford today and they said my priority code was high, and that I reset my order by changing it. I ordered on...

Back in 2012, Volkswagen was developing a diesel hybrid that would do 200+mpg. The topic ran dead and people speculated it was killed by big oil. I was wondering if anyone knew why this market wasn’t being tapped themselves? I’d buy a maverick awd diesel hybrid with loads of torque with massive...

I want to store my 3D print prints on a 3D print that could hang from the front seat headrest for passengers to swap attatchments out easy in the backseat I heard you like 3D prints, so let me 3D print a 3D print holder for your 3D passenger

I’ve been kind of confused trying to figure out why they wouldn’t have added a turbo on the Atkinson motor. Can anyone explain to me the science behind why they didn’t? And if we could put aftermarket turbos on for better fuel efficiency and power?

I’m moving to a city with a high uptick of cat thefts. I was wondering if anyone knew about diagrams that could show if the cat will be in the engine bay or below the vehicle

I ordered the hybrid with a 400W inverter, and I just saw an article that listed what could be run with it. To be honest, it seems like very few things that will be useful to me. Especially when it comes to charging tools. Is there any way to upgrade the inverter? Can that be done? I’m not sure...

I’m looking for someone with intimate knowledge about engines to answer a couple questions for me. I’ve been researching Atkinson motors and learning about how they work. I’ve found that the Atkinson motor used has a compression ratio of 13:1 which is pretty high. So I would think premium fuel...

I’m moving to Oregon and would love to know if anyone had any great dealer recommendations in that area.

Can we pop out the plastic parts on bumper and add our own lights/ tow hooks? Or is there no available bolt hole on frame?

This is going to sound crazy to the hardcore 4x4 lovers, but I think that the torque of the hybrids would be great for overlanding. I’m wondering what 30” tires would do to the transmission, if it would be too much. But besides that…more mpg means longer stretches inbetween gas ups. Any thoughts...

I am curious on what you guys will think about this. If you were to throw some 30s on the 2WD hybrid powertrain and do some very minimal off roading, is that going to put too much stress on the engine? Does anyone have experience with intercoolers for hybrids or just experience with this at...
