🚨My Hybrid Maverick window sticker with MPG!! 37 combined / 42 city / 33 highway

[Hanto]

I saw the EPA posted some of the 2022 hybrid MPG for other companies today. The Hyundai Ioniq gets 59 combined. 58 city 60 highway. I figured the Ford Maverick would have been a bit more. 50 mpg or something.

A lower center of gravity and a more aerodynamic body will gain those results. I'm not surprised at all since this is a truck compared to a sedan/hatchback. You need to look at vehicles like the Escape hybrid of RAV4 hybrid in order to be comparing apples to apples.

This is how the EPA tests for Highway MPG

Thank you for the info, I have never seen their protocol.

Is it December 8th already

Yeah that was a BS thread

Hope this helps! It doesn’t touch the back seat but gets close. Don’t mind my dog seat cover

Might if the front seat is all the way forward. Just a thought, my manual seats do if you take the head rests off, they will fold flat but the back seats are higher. (PriusV)

I'm thinking this window sticker is BS.

Here is why I think this is BS:

My 2021 Lexus ES300h has a larger engine, more HP, weighs more gets BETTER MPG than this trucklette?

Help me understand how the sticker someone posted can be real or true.

Below is my window sticker for the Lexus.

Well, for sure the info comes from ford. Just searched it myself. Give it a try...

?? Hybrids get better gas mileage in the city.

Yes

Me thinks the Highway can improve, my current hybrid is rated for 44 city/40 Highway and dogging around the Gulf Coast a few weeks ago we hit 59 Miles Per Gallon on US 98, South of Crawfordville.

AGREE!

Aerodynamics I'm guessing. The city is comparable, which is the hybrid strong suit, but the sedan is better on the highway probably due to it's aerodynamic and momentum from its higher mass. Just a guess... I'm no expert.

 

[SgtLip]

Yes

Not my Lexus hybrid.

Again comparing a car with less frontal area. These numbers shouldn't be surprising; they're what Ford was estimating for the Maverick Hybrid at launch.

Real world ................ I wanna see real, driven on the street numbers ! Those are what I will trust and look at before deciding on what to buy powertrain wise.

Having a full-size spare means you have a normal tire ready to go if something happens. The major advantage to having a full-size spare is that it's not a temporary fix. You can put on a full-size spare to replace the flat and continue with your day. If you purchased a full size spare included in any option or purchased separately then the rim and tire size should match your vehicle wheel and tires.

That's pretty typical of hybrids since they're able to get a lot of energy back through regenerative braking.

???? don't understand this statement.

When I brake the picture shows electric going from the wheel/brakes to the battery. But it doesn't make my MPG's better. It just regenerates the battery.

I get better MPG on the highway everyday. When I drive city, I get crappy MPG because of all the red lights and stop signs having to start from a standstill getting up to speed no matter how soft I press the accelerator.

I truly don't believe this sticker is right. I ONLY speak form my personal experience now driving a hybrid for 2.5 years.

That settles that, I'm ordering the hybrid now.

Good idea!
I hear the power is reasonably good as well.
