I’m getting 48.3 over the past three months of probably 70% suburban / urban driving an the remainder highway driving in Tucson. Last year at the same time I hit 50+ for a while. It’s easy to drop well below that if you drive like crap. One guy related that a truck driver turned Uber driver...

You bought the wrong truck. The Lobo is marketed as a sporty, performance, good handling truck. That’s not the type of driver you are, by your own admission Trade it in on a Lariat. Same basic truck,mbut aimed and tuned at a different type of customer. Actually, you don’t sound like a...

My 24 sat in the garage for six months. Started fine at the three month, but at six months was dead at 2.0 volts. Since the truck was only 15 months old, the battery was still under warranty. Dealer sent a mobile service van out with a new battery, did the diagnostics and resets, all at no...

Banks and dealers have put safeguards in place since Homeland Security started clamping down on money laundering schemes. It’s not 1964 anymore, and it shouldn’t surprise anyone if proof of identity, including a physical address is required to complete a transaction involving a significant...

24 Lariat FWD hybrid, and 24 Lariet Tremor Ecoboost, 14 months and five months old, respectively, each with 8000 miles. No issues or dealer visits to date.

Love it. The sound of silence at a stoplight is like money going into my bank account. My wife’s Jeep Cherokee had it, and we got nine years out of the factory, so as far as I’m concerned, that pretty much dispels the fear monger’s propaganda that it diminishes battery life. The feature is...

I have a 24 hybrid and a 24 Tremor, 2100 miles apart in different states. I drive them each about 8000 miles per year. The hybrid is averaging right around 50 mpg, the Tremor Ecoboost about 25 mpg. That’s 160 gallons in the Hybrid per year and 320 in the Tremor.. At $ 3.00 / gallon, that’s...

I liked the start stop feature on my old Cherokee. Ten years of service without an issue. Replaced the battery at 9 years, which is a couple of years more than I typically get from the Oem battery. I like it even better on the 24 Lariat hybrid. Interestingly, my 24 Tremor (Ecoboost) is...

I have a 24 fwd Lariat hybrid and a 24 Ecoboost Tremor. If iI had to pick one, i would opt for the hybrid. I’m getting 48-52 mpg in Tucson. I’s not the dollar savings so much as the fact that I only have to refuel every couple weeks. I will probably opt for a full electric for my next car...

Use the locator on the Ford website. i am in Az, but was looking at trucks in Detroit and Chicago, as they’re closer to our summer home. Just pick a zip code and search radius, model and equipment into the locator. Russ Milne in Mt Clemens is where my brother bought his.

Took delivery of our 24 Lariat hybrid 6/01/24. It has 9800 miles now with no issues. Dia an oil change and tire rotation. Never been back to the dealer. Washed it and put it away till November here in Az. Bought a 24 Lariat Tremor 12/01/25 for use in Mi for the summer months exploring the...

The guy bought ten cars over a twenty year period, and none of them were from this dealer. I would find it strange if they would bend over backwards for him, especially if they run a busy shop, and have loyal customers lined up for service. if I was the dealer and that was the case, I’d likely...

These aftermarket intakes don’t really change anything, other than the noise level, which in turn makes the engine “sound more powerful” I was involved in evaluating this type of modified intake years ago. Customers were claiming miraculous improvements on the engine I was Chief Engineer on at...

Total bullshit. In reality, most cars run under the limit, and the higher the limit, the higher the percentage of cars that run under the limit. this isn’t obvious if you’re driving ten mph over, but give At or slightly below the limit and you’ll be surprised at how many cars you’re still passing.

Explain why mine routinely gets 48-52 mpg In suburban driving. The worst it got since new is 38 mpg between Michigan and Tucson. Remember, the hybrid gets its best mileage in stop and go driving where there’s an opportunity to regenerate. You don’t slow down much on the interstate so there’s...

Did you buy bagged sand or get it from the pit? I asked for a half ton of decorative stone (for my Arizona “lawn”), but when I scaled out of the pit, I had 1750 lb. That was with my old Ram 1500. Same thing with my F450 with a 14500 lb gvwr. It tares at 10000 lb, more or less, so I asked...

26-27 with my Tremor, and 49-50 with my Hybrid FWD. Mostly suburban driving, with some freeway, at about 3000’ altitude in Tucson.

49-51 mpg mostly suburban driving along with a couple of 100 mile expressway trips. I have no need to drive 80 mph, though.

My 24 Tremor came with the “graphics delete” option, and I prefer it that way. The only graphics are the Tremor logo on the quarters.

Hard roll up bed cover and the tailgate damper. I bought the Ford hard roll up for the Tremor, and have a Sentry on the hybrid. The Gord cover isn’t as nice, but it’s a couple hundred cheaper. The tailgate damper is sold under a dozen brand names. My Lariat hybrid got a Rough Country that...
