I can promise you that you're wrong in both cases. It takes far more energy to go up hill at highway speeds than you gain going downhill already at highway speeds.

Adding 1000lbs of skid plates and armor dropped my jeep from 15mpg highway to 8-9.5 mpg highway. And that was at 75 mph vs 65 mph. It absolutely makes a huge difference on the highway. Even more so in an area with hills where you constantly have to push the higher revs to maintain your speed...

There is also extra drag added to the drive line in AWD systems

An extra 1000lbs is a massive impact on fuel economy. I'd expect the maverick to do quite well with that setup if that's the case.

Blind brand loyalty is dumb. Buy the highest quality vehicle that meets your needs at the appropriate price point.

Depends where you live. in Southern NH where there are tons of small hills,not could be a huge win on the highway, hills and city are what hurt my mpg the most.

Alternatively, they could be using the EB and adding the hybrid system to it to compensate for the extra drag AWD adds to systems and give it the higher towing capacity. Which is what I would want ideally.

Could you share the modified version and which socket you used?

HP isn't the problem. Torque is.

The transmission on the other hand......

So my next issue ends up being all the existing 400w ones I see come with wall style outlets already built in. Any advice for how to wire up the existing truck ones into it instead, or is there a type that already exists that's more applicable to this goal? If you don't know, no worries, thanks...

I'd want to try and find a way to keep the existing wiring, I don't necessarily need more than the 400w, so the wire size wouldn't be an issue, I apparently just need a 400w pure sine wave inverter from what I'm understanding is the real issue?

Could I just swap the actual inverter unit for thing similar Capacity and use the existing wiring?

Does that happen to be switched and on a separate circuit already? Or would it be on full time? Sounds like it's separate from the 400w limit? Thanks.

Yeah, this does the same thing, although i can't limit it to 200w, so it may just be because I'm asking for all 400w. Guess I'm doing the solar setup after all. I just found some panels that will fit on my hard tonneau cover.

I have not yet. What do you mean by trips it out? Does it blow the fuse? Or is there an easy way to reset the inverter?

I guess my next question is do you know if there's any easy way to convert the 110v outlet to a 12v cigarette plug? Ironically I think that would be the easiest way for me to just draw less than the 400w. I have the drop in bedliner so not looking forward to working around it, but oh well I guess.

That's a bummer, but thanks for the info.

Hi everyone, I plan on putting a Bluetti AC200p in my bed full time, along with a portable refrigerator, running off of the AC200p. The ac200p can run the fridge on its own for 2+ days without any help. I have the XLT lux package that includes a 400w inverter, so I can put the power brick...
