Well, it finally happened. Was on the interstate, quite far from the work van ahead of me, but a rock kicked up and smacked my windshield right near where the mirror mount is located. I didn't see the rock, but i heard it hit and it hit hard. I looked around and at first didn't see a crack, but...
Just experienced this today and want to relay it to others to try.
If you're like me the screen is very dim during the day to the point that Google maps is barely usable in satellite mode.
I check my setting and it's as bright as possible.
But today I did something different. I turned...
I was at Devils Tower and just leaving this cyber orange with what looks like PA plates flew by. I've seen a bunch of Mavericks now. Fess up, which one of you was it? Lol
Left home Monday 8/15 at 7842 on the odometer. Returned home this morning (8/22) at 9837.
Went to Greensburg and returned home briefly due to a f-up, got gas again in Ohio due to price. then southeast through PA on two lane to Breezewood and then got on 70 and went to the DC Beltway. Drove...
About 50/50 highway and two lane. The last day had a lot more idling as there was some time to kill without a hotel and 90 degrees meant AC was needed.
We did not top off before leaving. But 49 miles into the trip, we stopped for gas and topped off.
Drove around Northern Michigan.
So the...
My morning commute is almost always exactly the same with no stops. So I compare it regularly. First time I've hit 60mpg on the run. Usually am in mid 50s.
Almost all city streets total with some waiting which adds time even though I'm not driving.
Anyone else working on a personal record...
Short two day trip and a third day driving all over. So I'll recap.
I have a Lariat Hybrid with no lux or 360. No bed cover. Mpg has been decent though I've driven over half my miles so far pulling a trailer.
Had 1597 when I left. Left on my trip with for 7 miles but stopped and turned off...
This is my first hybrid, so I had something happened I didn't expect.
I left my truck parked for six weeks while I was away. I would check its location with my phone but never remote started it because I was worried with some of the issues people had. I had yet to try remote starting it since...
So I actually had two odd things happen back to back yesterday. And want to see if anyone else had them.
So, I leave the radio on and usually mute it or stream something from my phone if I am listening.
I hit the power button on the dash in front of the display, and the radio would not turn...
Figured I'd post this since it's happened three times now. The driver side seat belt doesn't retract faster than you can close the door. And three times now I've crunched the buckle between the door and the b pillar.
No damage. No paint issues that I can tell. But definitely something to keep...
Since I haven't seen this specifically, thought I would review the truck from a larger person perspective.
I'm 6' and about 375. Not all fat, but not all muscle either. I'm also wide from the shoulders down. Little cars are usually not my friend. Shoulder and head room are the big issue as well...
EDIT AT END OF POST
Nearing the end of the first tank of gas, my Lariat Hybrid had been doing about 29mpg in cold Ohio. Including a trip with 1000lb trailer for about 50mi.
Visited a friend, then parents, and then home. Got 36.5mpg, 34.5mpg and 38.9mpg in 0 to 24F weather. Ran in normal mode...
