Great post, I just passed 2 weeks with my XLT Hybrid and am loving it. I went 495 miles on my first tank, about 36 mpg. I live in the SF Bay Area so I’m going up and down hills a lot , so I figure that’s great. Brakes are different but I’m getting used to them. I’m coming from a 2016 Jeep...
No I’ve only carried one bike. I watched some videos and it looks like if you carried 2 bikes one would touch the tailgate. Long term I’m going to get a hitch mounted bike rack so I only needed a pad to carry one bike.
I just got my Maverick XLT Hybrid on Sunday and loving it. I saw a few posts on the Raceface tailgate pad, but I decided to go with the Evoc Duo 1/2 pad. I usually only transport 1 bike at a time so it seems like a better option for me. I’ll eventually get a 1-up rack.
