Drove 2.5 hours home last night. SOC went from 67% to 68% in that drive lol. Glad it works for you but it definitely doesn't work for me. 2023 hybrid.

2023 Hybrid, 14k on vehicle and 6k on oil. Valvoline Restore & Protect 0W20. Wear metals start to drop significantly at around 25k miles:

A more powerful electric motor does not mean they programmed a higher current level to push through the motor. The lithium battery is of the same size and is interchangeable with the previous gen, and battery packs are limited in the amount of current you can pull from them based on their size.

Yes I was wondering about the aftermarket headlights, not the OEM ones.

Do DRL brows light up on an XL/XLT like the lariat with these? How is light output at night compared to stock for regular and high beams?

I notice when ICE shuts off in the hybrid, the coolant temp goes to about 200°F.

Since you tow so much this was a good decision. Personally I'm waiting for the 2028(?) gen 2 or the Fathom. They definitely made their money on the trade though.

Not sure what you are towing but it might be putting on an excessive load from the battery which is driving additional wear. That being said, there have now been several HV battery failures @ 100k miles in this sub and one has to assume that more are out there (and will be in the future). The...

Depends on model and trim level. Rav 4 has some trims with lithium, some with NiMH. Weird, I know.

You are getting a new HV battery. Congrats, you just made it under the 100k warranty. Concerning that two of you at the same mileage are having the same issue with battery.

What's even more nuts is it's a cheap generic AGM from Advance Auto I bought on sale with coupons! Vehicle is garaged and driven 2-3 times a week for short trips. I never even trickle charged it. Testing it, it comes back at half the CCAs, but hybrids (including the Maverick) don't need much...

Wife's Prius has an AGM that is 10+ years old.

Mine has a similar build date and the in car procedure did not work. I also used Forscan but the free version to put into maintenance mode when I flushed the brake fluid at the three year mark per the manual. Worked well. I was under the impression all brake maintenance mode does is retract the...

Does that solve that issue? Honestly had no idea, I will have to try it. That is the first I've heard. Did you post in the 12v battery thread?

That's due to the comparatively low hp of the normally aspirated 2.5l in it and a limited electric motor size/battery. It loses steam at higher speeds. Assuming Ford improves the electric side in the next iteration it could smoke the ecoboost in that department as well. Just depends on what...

I agree, what im saying is they could've done that without changing it cosmetically IMO. They still would sell well.

In two hours you went 106 miles. That means your average speed was 53 mph. Here in NC that is basically country back road driving. Our interstates are 70+. Also keep in mind if you did not adjust your mpg trip compute readout you're probably around 5%-7% too high there. Here is one this...

Yeah I could totally see Ford running the same model through 2029 at least. There is really no reason to up date it - they sell like hot cakes and parts availability across many years also helps us DIYers who want cheap access to parts. I honestly would've been fine without even a cosmetic...

Side note does anyone know why the oil drain plugs are never on the bottom of the pan? Would make oil changes much simpler.

I find these heat up the phone too much and will greatly impact long term battery life. I plug in directly as well. But I do use a wireless CarPlay dongle for when I don't.
