And finally... Got my MPG update for exclusive use of Sports mode for the entire tank of gas. Honestly, based on MY results, I think I'll just stick with normal mode. Can't be bothered to remember to push the mode button every single time i drive the truck lol.
This was fun!
I am certainly not getting 35 mpg in my Eco.. but I have been running exclusively Sports mode in my Mav (stock everything) and am currently averaging 23-24 mpg with city/highway mix. I truly do wonder if OP's mods affect gas mileage THAT much.
Just hold strong until August, place an order for the hybrid engine, then wait another year for it to arrive and trade in your shitty gas mileage Mav.
Add all the mods to the hybrid that you added to your ecoboost and you'll probably end up around 30 - 33 mpg like you're hoping for!
Good luck!
If I was buying Lariat priced vehicles, and didn't need the truck bed but still wanted a hybrid, I'd just get a Ford Escape AWD with hybrid engine. They already exist and they will obviously drive just like the Maverick does... But without the truck bed.
That probably makes sense. My auto AC thing is always set to 72. Auto fan speed set to the middle (2) lights. Maybe that's why? Thanks for the info! Glad it's not broken 😅
My own tailgate cables aren't identical either. The driver's side cable is a touch longer than the passenger's side. However, this isn't a defect I care much to complain about to my dealership. I know it's there, but not worth the headache trying to get my dealership to make it a priority to...
Is this feature supposed to work for as long as I hold down the brake? Or is it timed? Because I've noticed lately in my evening commutes in heavy stop and go traffic that while I'm at a light and the auto stop is engaged and my foot is fully pressing the brake pedal, that the vehicle will...
I enjoy driving my Ecoboost because it's much quicker than my previous vehicle. It's also been fun having a truck bed i can throw bags and boxes into without having to cram my backseats with stuff.
I ended up getting a customer cancelled Ecoboost Maverick 3 weeks n some change ago, but my alternative was a Mazda 3 Hatch. I had one I liked and was about to pull the trigger on at my local dealership until I got a callback from Long Lewis Ford in Selma about the Maverick I ended up getting...
I have a few tools in there, a tire pressure gauge, and a spare stick of deodorant for the days I forget to get that done before leaving the house 🤣
I also keep my ratchet straps and bungie cords in the false floor space.
I don't mind the feature on my Ecoboost Maverick. Seems to stop at all the right moments, my issue is that I'll be sitting at a red light, the truck kicks the engine off but while I'm still waiting there, foot firmly on the brake, the engine will kick back on early, even tho I haven't let off...
Black steelies or powder coated black steelies look awesome. Crazy how much a difference a color swap makes. Standard steelies, nahh.. I'd have those painted ASAP or swapped out with something else on basically every color option of the Maverick.
