First Lobo road trip in the books!

[Gearbox88m]

Picked up my VB 702A on Wednesday 16 July. Promptly drove it as much as possible to get as many break-in miles on it before my planned trip from Kansas to Maryland on 23 July. Started the trip with 506.1 miles on the odo and ended back in Kansas, yesterday, with 3092.7.

The Lil Mav is an AMAZING road trip vehicle. The ACC is a life saver, albeit maybe a tad bit too "safe" for all situations. The LKAS wasn't terrible but if there weren't clearly defined lane markings it would sometimes get twitchy.

I averaged 31 mpg on my drive to MD, I stuck close to the speed limit most of the drive. On the way back to Kansas I amped up the speed just a tad, and averaged just over 28 mpg.

Definitely pumped to go on some more road trips in the future.

One note though, the washer reservoir is quite small, I'm glad I took an extra gallon of juice with me.

The last picture I my total drive stats from when I departed Kansas, at 2045 Central time on 23July, and arrived back in Kansas at 0400 Central time on 28July.

If you didn’t change your oil after break in - do it soon. Your turbo will appreciate it Great mpg!

Also, the safety of the ACC is due to Ford Corporate Legal Dept. The folks that “hack” the ACC into their Mavericks are taking a potentially big $$ risk onto themselves!

Appt is already made, I normally try to do the first change around 1,500 miles. This isn't my first boosted vehicle, and not my first ecoboost at that.

Good report and mpg numbers for what it is.

I only have the LKA on my 402a, but I couldn't stand the 'Assist'.
I currently only use the notification rumble when I want a warning for lane departure. This still allows me to get within a tires width of the line if I want.

But, I felt I was constantly fighting/countering the LKA when I used it. (I have the same issue with other implementations, like on a Buick)
I like that I can simply turn it on/off with the button on the blinker stalk, so I don't let it bother me too much.
Sometimes I want to put a tire on the outside line...and use the whole lane, instead of 70% of the lane.

Now, ACC - I wish I had that, that would be great for speed matching others.

I’m such a nag, sorry. My Lobo Is my first boosted vehicle & I’m really enjoying it!

The windshield washer tank is larger than many think. It's convoluted shape makes it not easily filled up. Suspect yours was that way from the factory. I think if you're facing uphill, it will fill better IIRC. There are some Threads on here about this also.
