One week in and I couldn’t be more Happy

[LTW]

I picked up my Atlas Blue XLT, 2.0 AWD baby last Saturday, and after one week I love it. Getting an average of 28.8-29.2 MPG. Very pleasantly surprised on that note. Drives nice, handles well on dry and wet roads, and has peppy pick up when called upon.

I’m 60 and have been an F-150 owner for the past 30 years, so it’s definitely different, but I knew that going into the Maverick. It’s not an F-150, but it isn’t intended to be. I can’t wait to see how it does this Fall/Winter when hunting in Clinton County PA..

An annoyance, I have to manually shut off the Engine Stop feature (engine shuts down when coming to a complete stop, and then re-starts) every time I get into the vehicle. There’s probably a way to defeat this feature, but I haven’t figured it out just yet.

Have fun and enjoy!

I have read a number of threads where owners of Mavericks and others, are getting more MPG than is advertised. Myself included.

Years ago, it used to be the opposite? ISpecifically, we couldn’t attain the MPG that the OEM’s were specifying.

it must have something to do with the onslaught of EVs.?

I guess that it’s age-old dictum of ‘Follow the Money’

You can let your foot of the brake in anticipation of going again... Supposedly it saves up to EIGHT PERCENT gas mileage in city driving.
