Fuel economy? I was really hoping for 27-29 average mpg for the 2.0L EcoBoost, but the reality is I get 23-25 mpg. Coming out of an Elantra where I got 31-33 mpg typically that was a bit of a hit. However I now have all-wheel drive, a 4.5 foot long bed, and can tow 4,000 lbs. The Elantra wasn't...

Yeah I've know the history of LBL for a few years now. A friend was with me in the visitor's center and as we went through the exhibits I told her, "LBL is a land of constant sorrows. So much tragedy here, but many people lived their lives here well."

I haven't been tent camping since 2024 and last year I bought my 2025 Maverick XLT. Going to meet some friends on the Kentucky side of Land Between the Lakes (LBL). One of the reasons I bought the Maverick was so I could have the truck loaded up the night before, keep the tonneau cover closed...

In all seriousness, is the Bronco Sport a high stepping vehicle? The body on frame Bronco that competes with the Jeep Wrangler, sure. But given the Escape/Bronco Sport/Maverick are all on the same platform I would figure they would have similar feel for entry and exiting. Having said that if...

Had my parents in the back seat during the test drive. Sometimes 3 or 4 of us from the office need to go to another worksite a few miles down the road for a few hours. The 6'5" guy sits in the front passenger seat. The third or fourth coworkers are around 5'5" in height so they get in the...

What are your opinions on the Cooper tires? Thinks like road noise, ride comfort, how well they handle trails or forest roads, and rain and snow traction. I haven't had a chance to go camping in my Maverick, but I know I will eventually so those are things I would look for when I finally have...

I just bought a Maverick XLT 2.0 Ecoboost with AWD, the Luxury Package, the 4K tow package, and the FX4 off-road package. If your mother is doing the ranch life, then this I fell would be the best combo to meet her needs and wants. I know you and some people are thinking the Maverick Tremor...

I'm glad everyone is telling you the hybrid tows fine. If Ford put the 4K tow package on the hybrid I'm going to assume the hybrid is capable. My feelings are more along the lines I LOVE having the horsepower of the 2.0 turbo. I'm a performance car loving guy who loves racing, and I've never...

Minnesota Trip Report: The Winners, The Losers, The Meh. Friend and I often do one away game a season to see the other Big 10 stadiums. 2009 he went to Minnesota to see the then brand new stadium, but I had to back out as my bathroom wall fell into my bathtub and I had to put in a new bathtub...

All I know is I'm going by what MotorTrend, Car and Driver, Edmunds, etc. said earlier this year after Ford installed a particulate filter and said HP drops to 238. The magazines are getting their info from Ford directly. I would figure they know what they're talking about.

Had 9 days on the first tank of gas. Could have gotten another 4-5 days if I hadn't done a one hour trip to a friend's birthday party. I liked the chime and warning screen saying I had 50 miles to go before I was out of fuel. The trip computer had 27.2 mpg, which I would have loved. However...

I just took delivery of my Maverick last Friday, and ordered a set of Weathertech floor liners yesterday, Tuesday, and they'll arrive tomorrow, Thursday. Does the stock carpeted floor mats feel comfy, sure. But this is a truck, I love to camp and tailgate, and winter is coming. I plan of...

Loved reading about the Maverick since it debuted in 2022. Finally was able to get a new vehicle and the Maverick was at the top of the list. The end of summer/Labor Day weekend sales were just too tempting to ignore. 2025 Maverick XLT, 2.0l Ecoboost, all-wheel drive, Luxury Package, FX-4...

With supply chain issues all over the planet I suspect Ford elected to have two different tires because it might prove difficult to get more of the good tire, the Wildpeak, for the FX4 trim as a default. I also believe that's why some other items aren't available on certain trims, or why the 8...
