Saw that and thought this guy's gotta be from Tennessee, Alabama, or Kentucky. Pretty much nailed it.
All fun till you hit that brick, barbed wire, or board with nails hidden by snow.
Or hit a divot and look like a idiot when you roll your truck. But hey, you'll get $117 in YouTube views so...
Sport is maddening.
Normal is quasi-maddening.
Slippery is so relaxing.
It's mostly an advantage in stop n go.
I'm only getting 650 miles per tank in winter. But get 750 miles per tank in the Spring and Fall.
You could get one, go to them (or someone else) and say put it in. May work fine. But of course you'll get zero warranty and have to sign "owner accepts full responsibility" stuff. 🤷🏻♂️
Crap shoot.

Back bumper hitch covers cut to fit the front. Not awesome. But 100% functional.
You are correct.
I am correct.
A small percentage will fail from lack of fluid change. The key word is change.
Lack of fluid, sure.
Abuse of any kind, sure.
And lots and few can be synonymous.
1000 out of 1 million is a few to me and lots to you.

Hey! I had one too!
A hand-built all aluminum body 81 MPG for me car. A museum piece! Should have cost twice the price. I had the rare "citrus" color.
The oddest thing for me was the rear axle was more narrow that the front. It it didn't work well to drive in snow ruts.
Myself and a few other folks have gotten 57-58 MPG over the span of a whole tank, over many weeks, with many cold starts. City only.
But if I got in and drove a whole tank with 1 or better yet, zero cold starts.... filled up on a warm engine and just went for one looooong drive, 60-65 MPG is...
Today was the coldest my Maverick has been 32°F (0°C).
Using the ScanGauge there was no external heat added to the HV Battery. The HV battery fluid did not circulate, and just driving in stop n go city traffic the battery warmed via internal resistance from 34°F to 84°F in 30 minutes.
It is nearly impossible to add after the fact IN THIS VEHICLE.
So have it factory installed or never.
The truck will probably start in -25 without it. But, you and the truck will be more comfortable with it. You'll have warm oil and warm air to the vents in about 1 minute based on my...
You need to be more specific. What is 150-160?
Example:
Engine coolant runs 180 to 190 when fully warmed up on the highway. But with short trips and city drive it rarely gets that warm.
Transmission eCVT of 140 to 160 is normal for mine.
HV Battery runs 90-100°F most of the time city...
Inline_five is more right than wrong though....
The Hybrid has FIXED GEAR RATIOs and only one set of gears in mesh.
Traction motor RPM to Wheels RPM is always the same.
In EV drive mode Traction Motor RPM and Generator RPM to Wheels RPM is always the same. The fixed ratio is 250 RPM per 1...
Yes.
But
Look at hose 23 and hose 24
It's not really clear but looks like exhaust heat CAN help warm the battery. But I'm gonna say from experience it does not at least at 32°F and above.
