New record of 31 days in a row over 110. Also a new record High/Low of 97. That means that it only cools down to 97 over night. (normally in the low 90). We had 2 days of "cool streak"
108 & 109. Now it's going back to 114-116 for a week
. Thank God (and Ford) the Maverick has an awesome AC system... Cheers!
I hadn't thought about driving the hybrid in cold weather (we don't have that here!). The heat for the cabin and battery is waste heat from the cooling and exhaust systems but the ICE has to run to generate this, seems a bit wasteful.
Man our 104 seems cool, had a 99 degree day so didn’t set longest streak of over 100. But, almost to same days in a row since but likely will not make it to a full month.New record of 31 days in a row over 110. Also a new record High/Low of 97.

Yes I’m in North Texas and the heat has been killing us. I did the same with tire pressure and you’re right: EVERY BUMP makes your teeth clatter!
Even counting the mpg loss due to running the ICE more frequently for cabin/battery heating & cooling, you're still getting much better mileage than almost any other truck currently available.
And your coffee doesn't go cold when you leave it in the car.

Not recommended doing sous vide 24 hr roast inside your truck… if you do crack a window and maybe not cut so many corners like use a real bag sealer, cover the water bath etc. it could turn out ok otherwise. It didn’t for me. Next time ( yes hard learner ). I will use the bed of the truck and not the cab. Black Bed covers should be outlawed in Texas!!
Following the storm, temperatures have dropped from 110° to 95° (although humidity has gone to 70%), milage has gone from 30 to 40 MPG.
