It probably would have helped a bit to reduce the 38 psi tire pressure; but really - tire swap!

No, not on startup. And the XL definitely has a different gauge presentation with well delineated marks at 10, 20, 30 etc. percent. But no blue bar.

I have the 24 XL, the gage is different. The difference is real and consistant. I do believe the higher trims have a different display?

I do, except when I forget to re-activate after a short stop! I find you can stay in electric just a tad above the first line, but in normal hit the line and that's it.

Topography and the way you drive are also important. You will get lower MPG if you use cruse control on the hwy in my experience- since it doesn't take full advantage of the topography.

The rake without any load obscures the view to the rear. But if you haul frequently that would make it a plus; for me it is a minus- I get tired of seeing the top of the tailgate in the rear view. I'm 6'3 and have the mirror as far up as possible and still see the tailgate edge; and I'm tall...

Judging from the picture, one could call it the "Carolina level", certainly not a squat.

Non of this is new news! Subject has been beaten to death in many threads. The method to correct the read out is present.

Don't do any of that stuff! Waste of time or money. K&N is a worse filter than your paper one and a hassle to maintain, IMHO. You have an Atkinson cycle engine so an "Italian" tune up is quite impossible, again IMHO. Spark plugs don't need to be checked at 20K unless you have a problem. See...

I''d put that original brake light back in service too- one can never have enough brake lights. The light being "out" would not pass inspection here. The lower one is nice and bright, but not always as visible, IMO. Short statured drivers can't see it if they are close behind you.

Please describe what the dealer said that they actually did. Most dealers throw up their hands and say we’re waiting on Ford to do something.❗️😩

Thanks for the information and attempt to help. I’m pretty much convinced that all individual vehicles do not behave the same way with respect to charging or discharging. Why I have no idea. I have relayed this situation before when I proactively change flooded battery in my 2024 to AGM...

I didn’t say it stopped charging at 80% but that it starts charging at 80% or below. If one follows the charging or battery voltage continuously you will see it from battery voltage which is normally 12 6 to 12 eight on a charge battery when the DC inverter is “charging“ it will show 14.5 to...

A 12v battery has 6 cells: 2.1 x 6 = 12.6 ! The 12v battery is only being charged when the dc inverter is told to charge, i.e. it is below the 80% level ; much of the time it will show 12.6 to 12.7v as is it not being charged. You are correct on start up, the voltage shows actual 12v batter...

In basic and simple terms, the HV battery drives the transmission when in "electric", charges the 12 v battery, and starts the gas engine. The 12v battery does the rest, including waking up the HV battery to start the engine. If the 12v battery is dead, nothing works.

I don't drive much at night, but I did notice on one long 200 mile drive with headlamps on, that the battery charged to about 96% I don't understand why, but when I replaced my flooded battery proactivly with an AGM H4; the normal 80% charge for the flooded batteru increased to 91% for the agm...

You can add a strip of closed cell foam or weather stripping to eliminate the gap.

Just a note on the plug in voltmeter; they are not 100% accurate. I bought 3 of the same model at one time. Number one is accurate within 0.05 volts, number two reads 0.15 volts low, and number three reads 0.3 volts low(12.8v actual shows as 12.5v). All compared to an accurate stand alone volt...

Mine is very similar or perhaps the same , but a different "brand" from china. It has been fine, no leaks in the rain or thru a carwash. I agree it should either be described as a "two fold" or three panel hard cover !😉

You are correct, farther north and colder = greater hit to mpg.
