I just posting an update on my mileage numbers. A while ago I did a 2 hour trip to the Bruce peninsula and I got 6.7l per 100km (35mpg) with the 2.0l ecoboost. Blown away by it's fuel economy. I posted earlier about terrible towing mileage. I was getting 24l per 100 km with a 2900lbs trailer. However I discovered that if you tow mostly in normal mode, outside of steep hills or starting from a stop, you can get 16l per 100 km (14.7 mpg).
I have put 13000 kms on this truck and love it!
That being said I'm disappointed by a few things. 1.The paint is very thin and low quality. I tried to get tree sap off my hood and I didn't go down far and already saw steel. 2. Do not trust the oil Guage. It's a timer at best. 3. It does not get rid of water well. A lot of water pools on the fibrous panels on the bottom. 4. The disappointing fit and finish. It is ridiculous that in 2022 manufacturers can't get a sunglasses container to work correctly. I have to wedge it open in a two step process. Also the textured plastic scuffs easily.
But the big redeeming qualities win anyway. Great mileage and a great price. We will see if we get what we paid for over the long haul.
