My wife and I left in our XLT with AWD to visit 2 of our sons living in Tennessee. We decided to drive it in 2 day each way not spending more than 6 hrs on the road. We traveled mostly on I 81 & I 40, on the trip down the temperature was about 90 so the AC was on & working great & average 31.7 mpg.
On the 1st day coming back it rained all day with some areas with fog and the temperature was ln the mid 50’s. Was I glad I have the blind spot monitoring & average 31.4 mph coming back. I’m 6’3” was very comfortable driving and extremely pleased with our Maverick with the way it performed & handled & I did all the driving.
My wife of 63 years would get a little anxcie once in a while, she’s 5’0 and does drive, together we have 123 years of driving experience, she’s 82 & I’ll be 84 the middle of August we saw 1 other hot pepper red Maverick the whole trip. Both our sons said that ours was the 1st they have seen & they live 1 hour & a half apart. It was a great trip for these 2 old folks.
