After 4,000 miles your mileage WILL go up. But even then the computer is optimistic- ours is consistently 2-3mpg high but wife doesn't want me to fix it. You can adjust it in engineer settings. If I were you I'd wait until 10k miles to adjust it.

Ordered October 2021, received April 2023, love it so much I'd drive it everyday but I love our MX-5 just a tiny bit more. So wife drives Mav every day. :crackup:

how is "you have to buy a fob" "free"?

As for the original post- one 35mile drive is hardly enough to definitively say what the MPGs are. I get 5mpg better than my wife on the same routes in the same weather, Maverick or the Odyssey we sold last year or the Civic we had before that.

It's all about what someone uses the truck for. Towing lots of weight all the time on highway? EB for sure. Towing a few times per year but commuting city every day? Hybrid wins

My wife daily drives our Mav to work. It's got one wheel with a bit of curb rash on it from her, one from me.

RIP Axles

I paid $65 for full synthetic and a filter last week (and changed in my garage). Not a bad deal there.

Nope, reply to earlier comments (the comment about software to figure out axle issues before truck ever went into production)

Only difference is that dealer will never do recall or warranty work for free, you'd go to a Ford dealer for that. Otherwise used cars are used cars.

I can't really say much to help- only thoughts are swap it out or "soften" the suspension.

But does it increase engine/ MPG performance, or just make things sound different?

Glad your rattle stopped! We got a light rattle with bumps about 6months in- Dealer put some wireless mics under the hood and drove around, and isolated noise to the front passenger strut. Replaced under warranty.

For regular cars, sure. Hybrids that uses up the battery so then the engine has to stay on longer, which eats up more gas. Hybrid is better with medium-hard acceleration to get up to speed then back off and 'coast' on battery.

Nope. Hybrid advantage is turning off the gas motor while rolling. In traditional car, light acceleration is best. In hybrid Mav I get best mileage at 75% acceleration to Minimize electric use while getting up to speed, then coast at 45-50mph on electric for miles and miles. Aerodynamics are...

Can't y'all 25+ Mav drivers just turn the headlight knob to "on" also?

In places where it gets well below freezing, pouring water of any temperature leads to a lot of other headaches.

None. I can see Ford slapping some higher-output Ecoboost 4 cylinders in though.

The auto-bright headlights can be turned off by turning the headlight knob to "on". You then use the turn signal stalk forward or backwards like normal. The truck resets to "auto" when you turn it on again.

but actually F150 means it can haul 1,500lbs. So can Maverick. ;)
