Picked up my 2025 XLT, AWD, hybrid , Carbon gray metallic, lux, 360, 4k tow on January 17th, I think it had 7 miles on it.
54 days later i have 527 miles on it.
Things I have noticed. AIr temp has a significant effect on fuel mileage. The colder it was, the less fuel mileage i was able to squeeze out. At times the in -town driving I was only getting 24-27 mpg. A few warm days, and the last two same in town trips I'm at 40+, sometimes 50+, but ya ya. i know i could coast and get the "99mpg+" that people like to show, i am happy with 40mpg in town
I did receive a full tank of fuel from Dealer (january 17th), and I topped tank off around the 300 mile mark. Hand calculation at that time was 29mpg
A few road noises where I can't determine what it is, but it's nothing pressing, wind noise or soemthing from the cowl/windshield on highway, speeds about 65 mph average, and the noise isnt consistent.
Notiched a blind spot as I turn my head to left to merge onto highway, i'm vertically challenged so that is most likely the reason
Plenty of bed space for what I need, plenty of rear seat room for my dog.
No need to tow yet
The driver lane departure warning with correction is blah, never had it before, don't plan on using it much.
Sound from speakers is that of a $36k vehicle, its good enough to listen to some MP3s
Wireless Android is ok, it seems to work ok, takes some time to connect, my 3 mile commute and I'm sometimes not even connected yet. It just sees to take it's time to be ready.
Parking it is like parking my old corolla, and def much easier then my 2500 Dodge that i sold.
The stock continentals are junk, hoping to find some Michelins this spring to put on.
The technology seems ample enough, i don't even plan on using some of the items. Ford App seems ok, the EV coach has even slowed me down a bit as I go around town.
I added a bed mat, all weather floor mats, the tailgate inserts (maverick letters), tinted the tail lights and sid marker lights, looks good from my point of view, spray in bed liner hopefully in April.
I enjoy the vehicle, it's comfortable enough, wish the center console was a tad higher. Hoping for a good experience with this as I keep my vehicles 10+ years.
