Lobo AWD turbo MPG real world data call

[r0tax]

If you want my no BS fuel data from my 2025 Lobo, see my Fuelly link.
This is calculated, not reported by the computer.
Note: it is not finished with Break-in.

Basically low 20s to upper 20s is what I'd expect through varying terrain, in the summer heat.
I think it'll do 30 after break in, on longer highway drives, with 55-65 mph cruise speeds.

If fuel MPG is high priority. Then you'll have to figure that out yourself.
If a dope looking Orange Lobo is priority...well, I'd say do it. But I'm biased. lol

That would be a big MPG hit, especially where you have such a long commute. Maybe Ford will recognize a demand for a hybrid street style performance AWD. Remember, as the snow piles up, a lowered vehicle is not an asset, AWD or not.

My understanding is that the Lobo is only about one inch shorter than other Mavericks, plus, if I were worried about driving in the snow, I wouldn't have bought a Lobo, or probably even a Maverick for that matter. Cheers.

My Focus ST (FWD on All seasons) went through any snow I needed to, at least on any plowed roads.
I have no concerns about the Lobo handling snow, that isn't measured in feet. As long as it mostly clears the front splitter, the AWD should take care of it fine. A good tire and FWD was fine for 95%+ of what I needed (on road), which actually impressed me tbh.

I'd even take my Lobo up to the slopes (if I were a skier/boarder type), assuming roads and lots were otherwise plowed.

But I've spent lots of time in the snow in RWD vehicles, so I'm not too concerned about snow driving, I'm more concerned about OTHERS not knowing at all how to drive on snow/ice.
