Picked up my 2025 awd hybrid xlt, 4k tow, copilot, LUX back in January. Just wanted to share my experience.
Fuel mileage was poor at first, I'm in Massachusetts the cold weather days absolutely affected the fuel mpgs. I do mostly short trips, I did let vehicle warm up in driveway longer than my actual commute (3.1 miles each way).
Spring/summer came, and the fuel mileage is better than whats on the sticker. Around town im seeing 50mpg, and the little highways trips I've taken I've averaging 40mpg. Im using 87 octane from Sunoco or Mobile.
I find myself feathering the throttle to squeeze out the hybrid drove/electric to get better results. I do only have now 2800 miles since my purchase.
Two squeaks have surfaced, one appears to be inside, driver side , top of dash kinda where it meets the windshield. Another squeak center armrest.
Haven't towed, but used it a few times to transport my kayaks, a couple home depot runs for some plywood. Im still learning the auto climate and the sync 4 interface. The Fordpass app is junk I feel, the location isnt accurate or hangs.
Acceleration/ merging into traffic is acceptable, braking seems good enough. I do also find there is two awful blind spots from the middle pillars, wish the mirrors were a tad larger. When I bought this I was unsure if I was going to like this sized vehicle coming from a Dodge 2500 quad cab, 4x4, plowtruck. I do, its easy to park much better MPGs, and easier for me to get in and out of. I now wish I bought a lariat to have the extra options. So ill be looking to trade this in, most likely in a few years after the next refresh.
