12,000 miles in six months!

Never thought two retirees would use a truck so much.

Just got home last night from Phoenix after a 3500-mile road trip, and my wife said, "this truck is perfect."

Well, not exactly. Has the special Hybrid low speed braking weirdness, the edge of the windshield on the passenger side is starting to delaminate or weep glue?, and um, er, that's about it. I carried so many repair parts and tools on the trip that the rear seat almost wouldn't lie flat, but the darn thing never missed a beat.

I've logged every tank, and its averaging just under 39mpg.

Probably would have done better less the extra tool weight. Always being prepared has a cost. I have enjoyed over 12K miles, since April, on my XL EB and have had no problems.

How does the fuel mileage estimator compare to your manual calculations?

The dash is usually 5% high.

do you have some photos of it ?

Just a poor quality one. Looks like the rest of the HPR XLT's.
