  1. Change in my fuel economy.

    This is true for all makes and models that I have experienced so far. I am not looking for the accuracy, I am talking about apples to apples. If I used the trucks computer before the road trip, I need to use it again now, over the same course.
  2. Odd Brakes in Hybrid Maverick

    Yes I see it. When I want to creep forward a foot or two. I have felt it was just one of those hybrid, or Maverick quirks. This is my first hybrid, so I don't know how other hybrids perform. It is a little scary,
  3. Change in my fuel economy.

    Give it time to break in. My mileage kept improving right up to my trip. I was driving the same route to and from work, and going light on the throttle. Funny and maybe of nothing more than a coincidence, but 3 MPG was what I was seeing. The fuel economy, no matter how you measure it...
  4. Change in my fuel economy.

    It's still too early to tell for sure, but..... Recently had the hybrid recall for engine fumes fire risk completed and I have the perception of my MPG dropping about 3 mpg. This is on my first tank, and after a road trip that had me loaded more than normal, on the interstates more that normal...
  5. Buyers Remorse?

    Just returned from a road trip with my 22 Hybrid, have a little over 7,000 miles on it. Consistently beat EPA mileage figures, picked the XL trim with few options. So no buyers remorse from me complaints, two. The infotainment Android Auto doesn't interface with my phone well, and it doesn't...
  6. Have you received the free FITS accessory package?

    Still waiting, for the FITS have had the truck since early April
  7. Hypermiling Challenge for 2.5L Hybrid

    Very seldom do I see 100 deg. But I did notice when I first picked it up we were still having some low 30, and 40 days, and temp does cause a lot of variation in efficiency.
  8. Has anyone had Covid? [Admin Warning: NO POLITICS]

    My 100 year old mother had it early on in a nursing home. Did well in their care, just a slight fever for a few days. Got it a second time after one vaccination, did fine. I had it (63) no vaccination, mild temp for about 3 days, sore throat, extreme exhaustion and back pain. My son (15) no...
  9. Hypermiling Challenge for 2.5L Hybrid

    Well this says I will make the 700 club. I am in a rural area so there can be some distance between fuel stops. I will push it as far as I dare and add an update. This tankfull included about 40 miles interstate with 5 passengers at 60 - 70 mph. The rest was my daily drive, so I am sure I...
  10. Hypermiling Challenge for 2.5L Hybrid

    I once got 999.9 MPG pulling out to the street in front of my house.:p But seriously I'm only at a little over 3k miles and I think it is fully broken in, but not sure. Every tank of fuel improved until the present. it seems to be repeating my last tank. I am sitting at 52MPG which is 90% my...
  11. Instead of all the complaining....how about IT'S ONE HELL OF A SMALL TRUCK thread!

    Just hit 3,000 and like others, am loving it. It hits all the check marks for me, it's exactly what I designed in my head after I got rid of my last full sized truck in 2006, and regretted it. As gas prices dropped a couple years ago I thought about returning to one. Only to find everything...
  12. Some questions on various things.

    I have noticed my XL hybrid has lots of clicking , sounds like relays, at various times and locations after parking and turning off. Normal? My center infotainment display randomly displays things at such high resolution they are unidentifiable. Anyone else? My Android Auto freezes, I have...
  13. My experiences so far, and a couple questions

    Thanks, I think having some anchor point down low is probably very useful. The cubbies also just say you WILL use them for straps and small things that stay in the truck. Are they sealed up to the weather pretty well?
  14. Why Is The Maverick So Cool? My Take.

    I'm a little past "Milennial" but you nailed it pretty well. America's infatuation with bigger and more. As far as what happened to trucks, "The Fall Guy" (you may be too young) and Monster Trucks.
  15. Why Is The Maverick So Cool? My Take.

    Thanks I was thinking Bad Boys. Don't know why??? That was the first think that came to mind. I consider myself to be the tail end of the Boomers (1959) and did play Pong, but but that was as advanced as my gaming went.
  16. My experiences so far, and a couple questions

    As I sneak up on my first 1K miles on my XL Hybrid thought I would add to the many posts on this truck. First, took 8 months to take ownership. Ford, and dealership communication was minimal. No extra mark ups or games from the dealer. Sorry for those that have had different luck. Second...
  17. What the Hail!

    Sorry to see this. I had the same thing on a two week old Mazda B2000. Now anytime I see even pea size hail I cringe. Insurance will take care of it, is about the only positive thing I can say. Good luck
  18. Truxedo Pro X15 Installed!

    If you don't mind me asking, what kind of bed racks are those? Would like to add a cover, but must work in conjunction with bed racks.
  19. Can't Believe What My Dealer Told Me Today ... My Wait Could be 4-6 Months

    You talk about different devices like they can only be single sourced. Which for some may be true for some of Fords applications (mistake on their part) but many of the common devices are manufactured by many different companies. Someone just has to poor over the spec sheets to make sure it...
  20. Can't Believe What My Dealer Told Me Today ... My Wait Could be 4-6 Months

    Could be Fords suppliers promised deliveries and Ford mistakenly believed them. I also wonder about the word "promised" Lots of dealers out there , so my experience is but one of them. I was told PRBABLY sometime AROUND xx/xx, and was promised nothing. But I have been around long enough to...
