Installed AutoStop Eliminator

You *do not need* it for the Hybrid.

First, for those who worry about your precious turbos, it’s not a turbo engine.

Second, for those who hate the delay it induces, there IS NO DELAY because the electric motor will get you moving *as it starts*.

Third, your accessories are basically electric anyway so it won’t need to start/stop cycle while stopped at a long light or whatever.

Fourth, your precious starter isn’t the same low voltage unit that non-hybrids have, it’s the electric motor that also *runs the truck* so it can handle PLENTY more cycles than a typical 12V ICE starter.

I do not like start/stop on normal ICE vehicles. Not because I’m worried it’s hard not he vehicle, I just don’t like the delay and it starting/stopping at lights. But in my hybrid Maverick I do not mind it one bit. I never even notice it. You literally have to *try* to listen for when it’s running or not most of the time.

Wasn't talking about the start/stop dongle for the hybrid.

Where are you getting those figures from?

...they work for Ford.

...they work for Ford.

More accurate than Volkswagen?

Dubious statistics, whatever their source or methodology.

I went ahead and purchased this. While the auto stop/start is not extremely annoying I just want it to remember when I turn it off for it to stay off until reenabled, this device accomplishes that. And if I'm in a situation where I'd like to use it I can turn it back on. Ford should have made it this way and saved me 90 bux, there is a 10% coupon out there if you look.
