  1. Car and Driver: Ford Maverick Hybrid Misses Its MPG Estimates, but We're Not Surprised

    They are full of sh**. Yes, the tone was meant to be harsh just judging by the Title of the story. As a Hybrid Maverick owner I CAN say they are full of B.S. You say “higher speed”, I say 75mph efficiency is WAY above 30mpg’s. I’m not clicking the link, just asking “how did they measure...
  2. Inclinometer

    It sounds like if you saw 7 "degrees" on a 14% Grade, then the inclinometer was nearly spot-on.
  3. Car and Driver: Ford Maverick Hybrid Misses Its MPG Estimates, but We're Not Surprised

    Here's a quick 2.2 mile lunch run that got me 107.5mpg's. 1: Drive in ECO mode. 2: Get your cruise control ready, it works at 20mph and above. 3: Pulse and Cruise. Means accelerate from a stop fairly quickly then hit the cruise control. Maverick can be all-electric at 70mph if you're going...
  4. Car and Driver: Ford Maverick Hybrid Misses Its MPG Estimates, but We're Not Surprised

    Why would anyone ever measure mpg's at the pump after driving 11 miles? If the dash "lie-o-meter" is off by 15% that means I probably only got 46mpg's. That's it. Burn the Maverick with Fire....
  5. Your age / occupation?

    Clinging like a barnacle to a boat at 49...... Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
  6. Car and Driver: Ford Maverick Hybrid Misses Its MPG Estimates, but We're Not Surprised

    Were they driving 75mph up Pike's Peak?? 30mpg is a ridicules low number for the Maverick Hybrid. Mine gets over 34mpg's going 80mph..... My mostly highway commute gets me nearly 55mpg's.
  7. Who "stepped down" to XL because of the ugly interior color choices of XLT? (Not because of cost savings)

    What surprises me is that Ford sells the XL-Hybrid without cruise control. You're never going to get the great mileage without using the Cruise Control on the Hybrid. You would still get better mileage than an EB, but probably not in the 40's.
  8. Replace 18" Tires

    BFG KO-2's come in a 255/55R18 size. Less than 1/2" taller, but slightly more than 1" wider and they have a great tread pattern and sidewall.
  9. Can't Believe What My Dealer Told Me Today ... My Wait Could be 4-6 Months

    Oops, I dropped something. I'll just leave it there. https://www.ebay.com/itm/115305264739
  10. Anyone interested in buying my maverick?

    I'd let it go for $32k. PM me if anybody has any interest. Sold it on eBay.
  11. Agree or Disagree With Jalopnik? - The Ford Maverick Is A Great Truck — It's Also Part Of The Problem

    I replaced my 2005 Subaru Baja Turbo with a WRX back in 2015 because there was nothing else similar to the Baja at the time. Now, we've got Ford, Hyundai and probably Chevy soon, that will be in this "new" market segment. I don't NEED a truck 98% of the time, but the 2% of the time I do it's...
  12. What is priority code 2?

    Priority 2 is Good. You might actually get built, but you also have a chance of receiving your Mav without certain CHIPS, such as CoPilot 360. Ford will send those to the dealers for installation when they become available.
  13. Hybrid fuel economy advantage vs cost of battery

    You would only pay $10-12k up front for a Used Hybrid. Gas prices being what they are causes the Hybrid to be very popular right now. If you can wait for a new one to be built for you (next year if you don't already have an order in) than the hybrid might still be cheaper than the EcoBoost. I...
  14. Seats uncomfortable?

    I'm 5'-7" and find my XLT very comfortable. Maybe the seats would be not ideal for taller people?
  15. Anyone interested in buying my maverick?

    🕺 🧵 🔫 -Thread Jack In Progress - I would consider selling my Hybrid XLT Mav in Velocity Blue with Sunroof, SIBL, Co-Pilot 360, 4-pin receiver hitch, tri-fold tonneau cover, and 620 miles, for a reasonable markup......
  16. Anyone interested in buying my maverick?

    It's weird that the Ford dealer has you upside down on the F150 right now.... You should just take out another loan for $25k to buy the Mav, then profit after you've done ALL the paperwork. Wait a minute, that's what you said. Carry On good Sir.
  17. What do you like LEAST about the Maverick?

    The back seat.... You should have been able to make the bottom tilt forward and the backrests go down flat like typical SUV 2nd row seats.
  18. How's the Interior noise? NVH?

    Some individuals are reporting missing pieces of insulation between the engine compartment and the front door. This could very easily be the culprit if NVH is less than ideal. My Mav is stone cold silent, and it includes these insulators...
  19. Ferman Ford Clearwater - Bait and Switch - My Complaint to Ford

    I would consider selling my lightly used (600 miles) velocity blue XLT hybrid, with moon roof, SIBL, Co-Pilot 360, 4-pin receiver hitch, tri-fold tonneau cover for $$ above the MSRP. How high you willing to go?? ;)
