First true road trip - Maverick was great over 1,450 miles!

[HappyGilmore]

Just returned from our first week-long trip. The Maverick (XLT, EB, Lux) was everything I hoped for and more.

We had the bed fully packed - suitcases, dog cage, beach chairs, beach awning, coolers, etc. Roll-up tonneau cover kept things dry despite some heavy rain.

Averaged 31.8 MPG for the 1,450 mile round trip, and that included idling in traffic for over an hour while an accident was cleared.

I don’t have a negative thing to say about the Maverick’s performance. Apple Play was great, the air conditioning kept us cool, gas mileage was better than I expected and the truck handled mountains flawlessly.

Added bonus - spotted a first edition at the same complex and I was able to meet the owner and compare notes.

Looking forward to the next adventure.

Thats good. I also have a FWD EB XLT lux on order. We don't seem to be too common with that spec but I'm glad to hear it got that good of MPG and handled mountains no problem. I'll keep on patiently waiting.

It’s definitely worth the wait.

I wouldn’t change a thing about the set up I have.

i was amazed at the performance …. And I was running 87 fuel.
