Am I the first one to have a maverick with no warranty, due to miles?

It's interesting a "top trim" speedo only has MPH and no KMH "dual" gauge. Did you get to specify which? I guess no resale value in Canada.

Also weird Ford would want the headache of stocking two kinds.

XLT

AFAIK, there's a setting to switch from MPH to KMH in OP's model

I never met a person that drove that many miles in a year, it took me 18 years to put 76,000 miles on my 2004 Taurus.

I'd like to see that! Since it's hard moulded plastic.

Once you switch from MPH to KPH, the MPH lettering at the bottom left near the zero changes to KPH and the speedometer measures in KPH.

How are folks getting 30 plus MPG with the ecoboost? I have an XLT EcoBoost FX4 with the tow package and only get 21 at Max. Does the tow package really suck that much gas? I do have a bit of a Leadfoot but 10 miles per gallon difference seems like a lot.

Most just go off of their computer, which might not be perfectly accurate all of the time. People like to believe what they want to believe. No one wants to think they average 25mpg if they can convince themself they get 32mpg.
My mom’s bronco sport badlands averages 23-25mpg, but you’ll find people online with same engine/trim saying they get 30mpg.

I believe you are the first to be off Fords shit list yes

No so. I have EB with tow Package and get 32 MPG combined with 2/3 of it highway. Just towed a ton trailer from NY to FL and it dropped to 22. Unless the gas pumps lie, my indicated mileage is always within 1 MPG of actual.

32.4 mpg after 6 months in a Bronco Sport Big Bend (with the smaller 1.5L).

Of course, my Escape Hybrid is getting ~50% more than that.

Those figures are per my refueling log, not the higher values per the lie-o-meter.

Hahahaha I just ticked over 5,000 in 5 months

42.1 mph hybrid lariat

I only average 25-28 with the stock first edition wheels and tires. But I've changed them with tires that are narrower and wheels that are much lighter. The fuel mileage went up and I was getting consistently high 29 to low 33. Every tank average between 500 to 560 miles.

Also not all fuel is created equal. I suggest testing your fuel to make sure it's what they say they're selling you. For best results run 93 octane obviously, but the owners manual will say it can take any grade besides e85. I live in an area where I have the choice between 87,89,90,91 and 93.

Traveling I know that many areas only offer 89 or 91 as the premium grade. If I lived in these places I would have the engine tuned to that fuel type at a shop.

Is it a possibility it's a first edition cluster? I really have no idea, I'm just asking.

Hey, you wanna know something cool? Your car automatically "tunes" itself to a wide range of fuels. Including 5% ethanol, 10% ethanol, 15% ethanol, and while not "officially endorsed" 20% ethanol, and 25% ethanol. Also not to be left out, any octane including 85.

Also automatically tunes to elevation changes. "This ain't your father's Oldsmobile."

You're correct sir, ford calls it an intelligent fuel sensor.
