  1. 2025 AWD Hybrid 19" Wheels: Largest AT tire that will fit without rubbing?

    That would be true only if they are installed on the front of a FWD. I'm just running them on the rear, so the engine doesn't know they are there. I want to keep the nose down so that I don't create more air resistance. Mine is only FWD so I can mix sizes---to a point. I might lose a speck of...
  2. 6K Mile Cross Country Trip Towing a Trailer - 2025 Hybrid AWD w/ 4K pkg

    We pulled the same trailer (13 foot Prolite) 8700 km with our 2024 hybrid and got 10.1 liters/100 on the entire trip (28.1 mpg) (The Canadian/British gallon is 25% bigger than the American). We also had 2 motorbikes on the truck and hauled through the hills of Northern Ontario. We kept it under...
  3. Wheel sizing help - looking to get summer wheels on the cheap

    Go to tiresize.com to calculate compatible sizes. I am using OEM Ford Edge alloys which move the tires in, so I had to buy wheel spacers to put them back outwards. I am running 255 60 19 on the rear of a hybrid
  4. 2025 AWD Hybrid 19" Wheels: Largest AT tire that will fit without rubbing?

    255/60/19 Blizzaks are what I have on the rear of my '24 Hybrid, for additional clearance in snow country. However I am using factory alloys from the Ford Edge with a different offset, which required 1" wheel spacers. I haven't tried them with the load capacity maxed out on the rear suspension...
  5. What are the pros and cons of 17” vs 19” wheels?

    Thanks for the reminder. Yes I am aware of that. I run 3-4 sizes over on all my vehicles since 1975. I lose a little handling in exchange for a smoother country ride and more clearance in deep snow. Three ways I use to figure out actual speed are speed cameras, GPS readings and/or...
  6. What are the pros and cons of 17” vs 19” wheels?

    That's true, unless you increase the tire size as well, Here's my XLT with no suspension mods wearing 225 60 -19 on the rear. The taller tire bridges better over washboard and gives better clearance in snow. As for the arguments about addition weight I removed my full size steel spare when I got...
  7. Damaged fins on cooling condenser/radiator

    This shows the 2 grills that protect from further debris year round (for those who do lots of back road driving)
  8. Ford Denying Warranty Due to Road Debris Claim - $2700 repair

    A similar thing happened to our 2024 while driving home from the dealership on delivery day. We drove through a 4 lane area with grit and sand on the pavement left from roadside construction, and when we arrived home (first time!) it had bent fins all over the lower and upper rad. (Thrown up...
  9. Hybrid Fuel Efficiency 2023 vs 2024

    Are the Bronco wheels and tires the same overall diameter and width as on the other truck? Are you running the same psi on both trucks? Any difference in width, diameter or psi will make a small difference. More likely the conditions you drove under. If you happened to have a bit of headwind or...
  10. Damaged fins on cooling condenser/radiator

    I'm interested in knowing if any other owners have had the bad luck we had. We went to pick up our special ordered hybrid at the dealership. I encouraged my wife to drive the new truck from the dealership, about an hour to our place. Enroute on the freeway, heavy dual lane traffic reduced speed...
  11. So how do we think the Hybrid 2025 Maverick is going to do towing 4k lbs?

    I too am impressed so far with my 2024 Hybrid. I asked the dealer if it would be too much to pull a 13 ' ultralight trailer, with 2 motorbikes in the back (tailgate down extended draw bar) through the hills of Northern Ontario and the Canadian Rockies. He said "That's what warranty is for. Go...
