In the summer you wonāt notice it 99%. Just wat till spring and you will see.
I went through the same observations as you. Definitely the colder it gets below 38 or so the worse it gets linearly.
Yea I noticed that as well. Itās very apparent with outside temps below about 38F so itās directly related to air density. Below 38F or so and city-driving I just switch to tow/haul mode. Yea itās annoying but it is what it is.
The magic speed when driving slow is 35-37 in normal mode. It will...
You nailed it.
If interest rates had remained at historical levels over the last 15 years a new Maverick Lariat would be priced at less than 20k. Now close to $40?
Cheap money always drives the nominal prices of everything upwardā¦..by design.
Why anyone would borrow money for a vehicle is...
originally had 0% financing but after 2 months got sick of having that as my only debt just paid it off.
I know the smarter way would have been to just park that cash in a money market while it draws down but if the banks freeze up, (IE bail-ins), I wouldnāt have access to that cash but the...
Interesting concept.
Iāll try plugging my fridge directly into 12v and see what happens. Iāve just been using a 300wh power brick to be a go between engine stopped and starts. My fridge uses around 40w when running and can keep my fridge sub freezing for around 12hours depending on outside...
When I have a power bank charging from the 12v accessory wiring in the bed of my eco boost it pulls 100w with the engine running. Once the engine is shut off it throttles back to around 8w for 90mins exactly.
So in addition to the 90mins off, it limits total draw to very low energy consumption...
EB here too. Biggest thing I dislike is engine audible āluggingā sound in cold temps. <35 F or so. Itās definitely an air density issue and my solution is to use tow/haul mode when city driving in cold temps.
Stated differently 2.0 sweet spot is higher than 1500rpms or so when making power in...
Absolutely. I had a 0 % loan from ford on a 22 cause that was the only incentive they offered in Nov 21. 2 months into the loan I said whatās the point and just paid it off in full. Title arrived 1 week later.
