I installed the Elevate rack and Sentry CT tonneau.
The clamps were identical for the rack and for the tonneau. I simply used all of the clamps, so I doubled the normal number.
There wasn't any issue of interference with the factory sliding tie downs.
Good points, especially the no steadfast rules. The computer has a lot of decisions to make to get that 40+mpg.
From an efficiency only viewpoint, the power flow would utilize engine power directly to the wheels, with any unneeded power going into the battery pack. Until the battery pack...
That's what I thought as well, but the first poster had me second guessing. Reason being, I rarely need more than 20% power to get up to speed, normal rate of acceleration. Since I have less than 1000 miles, we haven't done any acceleration in the 30%+ power level. Don't anticipate a need...
Not a waste if you need lumbar. The manual seat only 6 way vs the 8 way on the power. For the bad-back group, that lumbar is huge. Also, in 2023 the power seat package comes with the heated seats in the XLT Lux (I'm not sure about the Lariat packages or other MY's on the heat/power seat).
they aren't feeling guilty. They are simply following orders from FMC regarding priority code for '23-4 rollovers.
So, if they have plenty of allocations, you should get scheduled early in the '24 production run.
Mary, and trolls...plenty of them just stirring things around making nothing burgers. America is great, but our freedoms can easily be abused since our system depends on folks making choices to promote goodness. When the dark side dominates, the system struggles.
End of rant.
to what do you attribute the mpg drop? Is the battery charging limited due to high heat? We have been seeing quite a few 100+ days in Fresno, and mpg (with some AC) stable at about 42, mostly country roads and freeway.
Perhaps looking at it with the glass half full, no fix is needed? Far more owners love their mav hybrids, have no issues, and do not post, vs the few that have an issue and blast it out here (making it seem like there is a big problem).
Before taking ownership, my one concern about the Mav...
you are commenting about all the posted problems. Many of us do not post at how great the hybrid has been. No grabby brakes, no starting problem, no issues period. 42mpg.
We have a CMAX with a similar drivetrain. It does have grabby brakes. 45mph avg. The Mav is a more refined, simple...
XLT Lux seats. The cloth/power/lumbar and 8 way adjustment on the driver's are the best seats we have ever had. Hands down. These are heated too but untested so far.
We bought the same combo for our Bronco Sport. Convenience package with the 8way cloth power seats..
In our book, seats and...
getting way off original topic, and there are many discussion on the bronco sport forum regarding the 1.5l. What I find very interesting about the engine is that it actually shuts down one cylinder on the highway. The 3 cylinders become 2 operating cylinders. 1.0 liter of engine is all that...
The BS 1.5l is inferior mileage vs the hypothetical 2.5hybrid AWD. Unfortunately, there is not a "best of both" option right now, and the Escape drivetrain not likely to move south for the next couple years.
So, we do the best we can. My BS/AWD/1.5l meets the criteria for AWD. Meanwhile the...
We have a 1.5l BS. Plenty adequate for our needs, and much better mileage than the 2.0l. The 1.5l is a worldwide standard engine for Ford. It's the US market where consumer focus is on horsepower.
The Escape isn't built in Hermosillo, so an introduction of an AWD hybrid version to that...
That's an interesting idea, but would mean Ford would build non-AWD Bronco Sports. That would take away the DNA for that vehicle and mean suspension changes. I know everyone wants the hybrid 4wd vehicle, but apparently not happening for a bit.
Thanks! That's the prodding I needed. New phone ordered. While AT&T may be a poor service, I was getting zero bars at my work store with T-mobile (a dead spot, no towers near this rural site).
4years old, running on Android 8.0. The phone has been solid and consistent until about 2 months ago when I added the app. Back to solid after shutting it down.
It's hard to know why it would require so many phone resources, maybe a communication issue with the vehicles or GPS? Out here in...
I have two Fords now on my Fordpass app, a BS and a Mav. My android phone has periods of grinding to a halt! I started shopping for a new phone, and while checking settings on my old phone and comparing to new phones, found that Fordpass was quite active and using up a lot of RAM.
Since...
I had to get a weight certificate to register my out-of-state purchased XLT Hybrid/Lux/SIBL full size spare. With about 2 gallons shy of a full tank, the certified weight was 3,720lbs.
I did read about that issue early on. I think it has been fixed (or reprogrammed).
I'm not a fan of remote starting. We live on a farm with lots of cats. They have no forewarning to get out of dodge when a remote start is used. It is never seriously cold here in central CA, and I have no...
