  1. Hybrid vs Eco for mostly highway driving.

    No one has brought up another major difference,, difference in weight. Whats the difference between the EB and Hybrid.
  2. Hybrid vs Eco for mostly highway driving.

    This is exactly what I'm talking about,, mileage claims all over the place. I've watched disscussions with these kind of dissapointing results often, and I cant see anyway you could murder 20+ MPG,,, unless you were driving with the throttle wide open,, and the brakes applied, smoking and...

  4. Hybrid vs Eco for mostly highway driving.

    Many folks comment on this topic, claim no benifit in having a hybrid for 90% plus highway driving. So many mileage claims out there that just seem like B.S. Hoping for some input and opinions now the many have had their Maverick for some time. I drive for my business,, 60 to 70K a year,, 95%...
  5. Hybrid Battery Replacement Anxiety

    I'm not "ANTI HYBRID", I do business with 4 Toyota dealers each week, in the service depts each time. The other day, there were 9 Prius in a bank of 20 bays,, two were in the process of a battery replacement AFTER the owners tried to go the "rebuild" path. The Toyo techs dont like doing them...

    Driving thru Des Moines Friday,,, cool if Ford offer this on the Maverick,,,I think the interior color would clash
  7. MEAN GREEN MACHINE - Eruption Green Bronco

    Traveling thru Des Moines today, saw this,, had a Schwin Sting Ray near that color in 68,, Mowed yards/shoveled snow for a year, gave $35.95 brand new. Loved the color. LOVE to see this color on a Maverick,,,
  8. 400 watt Inverter / truck bed

    Soooo, is anyone able to shed light on this issue,, if you can,, in fact,, install a FACTORY FORD 110 inverter to the box on an XL or XLT truck bed?? Not interested in an aftermarket,, not interested in having to run separate wiring,, but the ability to order the parts from FORD,, and find...
  9. CYBER ORANGE?? LOVE IT OR HATE IT?

    The yellow is really cool, but, we all have reasons to buy or not to buy that color. Years ago, a friend of mine that did very high dollar paint and restoration work once commented about a car at a Good Guys car event. Several of us were looking it over, and being the perfectionist he is, he...
  10. Trailer Brake controller NFG

    man,, from red hot converters ,,so hot they glow in meltdown mode,,to another serious electrical failure the cant be repaired,, these trucks are not impressive at all.
  11. DIY Forscan enabled Cruise control XL models only

    Thank you Ford for leveraging cruise control to force folks to spend thousands on unwanted upgrades just for this simple option.
  12. Ridiculously low Gas mileage ENOUGH already WTF is going on ?

    Love the Maverick trucks, but I'm increasingly baffled by, what I feel, is terrible mileage. For 35 plus years I've been a Manufacture rep, lived in Tulsa, now eastern Iowa, sometime covering 5 to 6 states. Last 10 to 15 years, drove smaller vehicles like 4 cyl stick S-10's, currently own my...
  13. CYBER ORANGE?? LOVE IT OR HATE IT?

    I talked to a older lady at a Quick Trip just a few days back in southern Iowa. She and her husband had gotten their yellow Maverick XLT just a month or so back. LOL,, she said her kids call it "The NO PASSING ZONE" truck,,, she just laughed. It's kinda cool looking, first one I've seen up...

    Wow, I saw a silver XLT on the highway this morning,,,YES,,I'm impressed! Never even gave Iconic silver a thought till this morning,, classic black/silver good looks. Really sharp truck.
  15. LETS SEE SOME WHITE MAVERICKS PLEASE

    Love to see some white trucks, XL, XLT, and Lariats. Lots of cool colors out there, but white is fantastic color with the right wheel/tire combinations as well as subtle modifications. Thanks
  16. Car and Driver: Ford Maverick Hybrid Misses Its MPG Estimates, but We're Not Surprised

    That 38 MPG ain't bad at all! I drive a lot,,5200 in March, will be 5500 to 6000 next 6 months or so. I'm finding decent 65 to 70 highway speeds are yielding 2 to 3 more MPG than running 75 or more these days. How hard you drive really makes the difference. I'm actually getting 25 to 26 with my...
  17. Car and Driver: Ford Maverick Hybrid Misses Its MPG Estimates, but We're Not Surprised

    Donald,, are those mostly highway miles? Myself, I'm really hoping , and appreciate, real world figures reflecting 80 to 90% highway figures. I know the lack of regen driving at constant speed has to hurt the figure, just trying to judge if a hybrid is even worth it for highway driving, as thats...
  18. Car and Driver: Ford Maverick Hybrid Misses Its MPG Estimates, but We're Not Surprised

    Thats impressive. My self, I travel Iowa,, 95% highway 70 to 75 MPH, traditionally very windy, and curious about real world MPG when near all miles are highway. This month, 5069 miles, fairly normal monthly miles for me. So many of theses articles almost suggest the eco boost for highway...
