Sounds like it paid off quite well for you, and I hope you got what you wanted. But for the record, they’ll have to pry mine from my cold dead hands. 😉

Uh, aren’t we missing something here? What happened to the Ridge Runner? Oh, excuse me…the “Ridgeline” 😉

A quick snap I took just the other day...ostensibly of the cat enjoying our bird bath. But the camera inexplicably drifted off subject. Guess I just couldn't help myself. 😉 It's telling that even after two-plus years of ownership, I still love looking at this terrific little truck. 😍

‘22 hybrid xlt. 13800 miles and 26 flawless months of ownership. Performing better than ever after all recalls and software updates performed 7 weeks ago. It’s without a doubt the most satisfying vehicle I have ever owned. Great job Ford! ❤❤

You are spot on about the spring season here. Spring in NC has much to recommend it, but the pollen situation definitely ain't on the list. Fortunately, Cyber Orange pollen is a pretty good match with Cyber Orange paint. If it weren't for the trim and windows, I would barely notice it. 😉

Curiouser and curiouser…

Excellent question!

"Engine Motoring" is the operative phrase. It relies solely on regen for braking until the battery is fully charged and can't take any more. The only time I've ever experienced engine braking is on a couple of trips to the mountains. And when it kicks in brother, you know it. The engine...

It's still a pretty small number of instances in the grand scheme of things. But if it were me, I think I'd still hold off for a bit just in case. Not an option for me though, as I had it done about six weeks ago. For what it's worth, I've had no problems after about 1000 miles.

This would seem to indicate that the grade assist icon should only be shown when the vehicle is going downhill AND engine braking is active due to a fully charged battery. I wonder if it's possible I was getting it before when I shouldn't have. I used to see the icon almost any time the truck...

Ahh....grade assist. I hadn't bothered to look it up, but that sounds like it really should be there. It's not though. I noticed it gone right off the bat, and I haven't seen it in a month and a half.

Last month I had my '22 Hybrid in to have all the recall work, software updates, and the cable overlay done. I'm VERY satisfied with everything about it, from the time it took, to the quality of the work. BUT, (Of course there's a "but"...) I have noticed that the little car icon on the dash...

It's the same software. If one dealer takes a day and a half to reprogram modules, and another takes three weeks...it's the dealer. Of course, it's certainly possible the software isn't the whole story here. Seems likely to me.

Wow, your dealer's service department sounds like a total disgrace! I took mine in a month ago for ALL the recalls, software updates, cable overlay, AND an oil change. (I waited to have everything done at once.) Took them a day and a half.

That tracks perfectly with my last road trip. I'm a stickler for the speed limit, and 250 miles at 65 mph returned just under 43 mpg. Hand calculated, for those who would assume I'm going by the readouts. I was a bit bummed at first about that 33 mpg number from the EPA...until I discovered...

I'm certainly no scientist, so I'll be happy to stipulate that under certain conditions hills may work to our advantage. In fact, there is a stretch of road along my daily commute that probably qualifies. I've noticed that I often get more electric travel along it, and on the flat terrain that...

Accelerating too slowly will ding your mileage almost as much as doing it too fast. Best practice is to get up to speed fairly quickly, then let off the throttle to drop it into electric mode. I keep up with traffic just fine, and still get 43-45 mpg.

Exactly right. It never ceases to amaze me how many people here seem to think that hilly terrain improves their hybrid's gas mileage. No, it does not. Simple physics tells us that you always expend more energy going uphill than you can possibly recover on the way down.

You don't have to click anything. It goes away on its own in a few seconds.

They sure went on about that, didn't they? Ditto the FITS stuff! Whatever. 🙄 Don't get me wrong though...I love the hell out everything else about this truck. 💗
