Motorcycles and age don’t go well together. Years ago, a 50-something CEO I worked for had to have and bought a Harley. Mid-life crisis. He laid it down almost immediately. Broken foot, only damage fortunately. Age means slowing reflexes. Drove a cycle all over Malaysia in 1970-72. What fun...

Thanks for your response. Any recommendations on quality cables?

I think I am going to get a new cable to connect the truck to my cell phone. The connection does seem to disconnect from time to time. Maybe the problem is a malfunctioning cable. Has anyone replaced your cable?

The Mav is also useful for hauling pine straw bales. I helped my BOL haul 10 (or was it 8) bales. Didn’t even have to tie them down.

Perhaps all true above except untested, Ford has been building hybrids for over a decade and trucks for over a century. I don’t know about the 12 vote battery issue, but I will investigate. What do you do with the 2nd 12v battery? I didn’t buy the Mav for the sound system. I do plug in my cell...

What is the Excel-lile image above from? Fuely? Is 70h/30c your estimate or was this displayed on the dashboard?

GPSMan, what is the data buffer full of? Individual trips from vehicle start to turnoff? If so, it would be great to download these trips. Don’t you think Ford should do a better job of documenting these “features.”?

How do you know this? Please provide a link if possible.

Is My Maverick a website? Could not find it.

Disagree that Eco is terrible. I almost always drive in Eco.

How many miles do you have on your truck? I don’t have #s to prove it, but I think mpg’s on Mav XLT H improved several mpg’s after 5,000 miles. Anyone else experience this?

No, I did not see that post. I have an XLT.

Yes, indeed, congested interstates are the friend of Maverick Hybrid mpg’s because you can tun in electric mode for long stretches of highway.

Excellent result. My cumulative mpg per my dasboard (over 10,000+ miles) is 43.9, which is about 2.0-2.5 mpg higher than calculating mpg at gas tank fill-up time per my tests. Like you I feel that at least 75% of my 10,000+ miles have been on interstates and highways. I would guess that my...

Enough said/displayed.

The Bronco is just an iteration of the early, boxy Escape. These boxy Escapes had a great design, but poor gas mileage. I loved my boxy Escape, even though it got 16 mpg on a good day. The latest design of the Escape is just crap unfortunately. Too small a vehicle. Ford could have produced an...

I stand corrected.

Thank you for your reply.

I read through all the comments. All good except 1) the suggestion you should drive the Mav Hybrid like a regular truck, and 2) that you should drive your hybrid in regular mode. First, my suggestion: watch some of the very good videos on driving a hybrid in general and the Mav in particular...

Is it lockable?
