Yes I know what you mean about the cold and MPG killer. Same here for sure, just so happened that on the day we had our trip planned the temps hit the 80s. The air conditioner sure worked well and at first it tried to freeze us since I had the temp set at 67 for heating when I hit the auto...
Made my first long road trip since getting my little 2025 AWD hybrid and I am so impressed with the results. The total trip was just over 300 miles and when I got home the gas gauge said half a tank. The MPG reading stated 40.3 and now the combined average for the truck is 37.7. The speed limit...
New Maverick hybrid owner. I was seeing what different things I could look at the other day on one of my short drives into town and back which is about a total of 35 miles round trip. Found the EV coach screen and after a bit figured out how to tell the charge state of the HV battery. Well I...
Not sure about seat covers as yet so in the interim I have found a set of cloth place mats that were very close in color to mine and only cost 5 bucks each so at least the bottom part of the seat is protected my sweat when done playing disc golf.
Hey Matt, if you leave the steering and seats on and instead turn off the heater as soon as it gets above freezing in the cab then the electric will get more of a chance to run without the need of the engine to produce heat for you. I now have just over 250 miles on mine and have gotten my...
I don't blame you, the drivers these days really don't watch out for anyone but themselves for the most part. I have over a million miles on two wheels and always ride like everyone is out to kill me. That way I get pleasantly surprised everytime they don't.
When it is in electric mode it does not burn gas, and since it is still pretty new the computer is still learning what your base MPG is. As you put more miles on it, it will get your distance to E more accurate. Just sit back and leave the calculations to the Maverick. I love watching my little...
My new 25 xlt lux hybrid turns on the engine and even turns the hvac system on if I had turned it off on the last drive including the steering wheel and seat heaters. Its like it remembers where I like to have the temperature at and since it has auto it gets everything going just the way I like...
Yep and I ride a bike almost as much as I am in a cage these days, way more time on the bike than in a cage back in the day. Maybe that is why I am so adamant about watching my rear, always stopped it in such a way that I had a way out incase the idiot coming from behind suddenly became blind...
It’s always a good idea to turn on your emergency flasher when you are approaching a line of stopped vehicles or the last one in the line. It’s called covering your rear.
That is just like a key fob Remote. Any Ford dealer can help you with that if you other dealer couldn’t do right the first time go tto a different one.
Even in normal mode this thing will getty up and go. Just got home from shopping and have to jump on the freeway for a very short distance and then take a left lane exit, it got up to and beyond freeway speed so quick it was almost shocking. Absolutely no problem with acceleration, I love this...
I got real lucky with the weather. I replaced a FWD Ford Focus that I have driven in lots of snowy conditions and it never left me stranded other than at home. It can't get out of the driveway when it snows and neither can the F250 with electric rear locker. I have a 97 Jeep TJ that I have had...
