I’m getting over 50 to 59 daily on my way to work! On the way back home I get around 30 cause I drive it hard. Finally Ford makes the vehicle I always wanted. Fun to drive, practical, comfortable and roomy.
Yes, The modern Maverick is absolutely a home run for Ford. I ordered mine in October of 2021 and received it in may 2022. Unfortunately I ended up paying around 8k above msrp because of the insane dealership markups in California.
It’s really nice someone else is putting content out there that this vehicle can achieve 50+ miles per gallon. I post all the time in the Ford maverick group saying that I get this mileage and they say it’s really not possible for you to get that you must be fudging the numbers. Nope it’s real. You just have to know how to drive a hybrid. I am certain under certain conditions out of mostly doing city driving you can easily achieved 60 miles per gallon. I absolutely love my 2023 Ford maverick XLT With the luxury package.
My Maverick arrived 18 days ago. I'm in heaven! Saving on gas with a smooth drive and vehicle versatility is stroking me the right way! Thanks for the video, it confirmed many habits I am working to develop! K from Ontario, Canada
Absolutely can confirm our maverick hybrid Lariat luxury is capable of the mileage you are getting . What is amazing about this vehicle is how much more control the driver has to keep the vehicle in electric driving. We put 180,000 miles on Highlander hybrid, the maverick is so much Easier at maintaining electric drive. when you give the vehicle throttle , It does not automatically switch to gasoline the way our old Highlander did. I’m sure everyone’s hybrid technology has improved, but having the ability to drive the vehicle very efficiently just using the gas pedal is exceptional. Properly using the brakes , Is just half of the equation, if you lift on the throttle, on flat ground or downhill, and gently go back to the throttle you will be able to drive in electric mode for a very long way. It doesn’t take a lot to switch The car back to electric, I am learning to do it quite easily. Allen
I'm nowhere near you and in fact I'm halfway across the country from you but I absolutely believe that you can obtain 50+MPG driving smartly and with a light foot. I've driven a Toyota Camry Hybird from Turtle Lake to Superior Wisconsin, keeping it at about 60 MPH and watching the hills and arrived in Superior with the cars computer telling me it was getting just about 64 MPG. As a matter of fact ordered my Maverick today from a dealer in Minnesota. Last fall some SNAFU happened with my online reservation and I got skipped. I'll be excited if I can consistently get your numbers. Thanks for the upload.
Wow! Most impressive video yet on getting the most Mileage out of the hybrid Maverick!.. as soon as I get my Maverick Hybrid built I will put this into practice!.. June 20th build date... finally!.. I will keep viewing your channel for more tips or questions I may have.. thank you for sharing the information!
Hi Dennis congratulations on your order. Thank you for commenting. We have a lot more Maverick videos to come so please consider subscribing and hitting the bell icon to be notified of all of our future videos. Thanks!
I ordered Sep 17 2021. Was told by dealership in April and confirmed by Ford customer service my build date is Jun 20th. Called earlier this week to customer service they said that the computer now says August 15th. Did yours get moved as well?
Very helpful info, Thanks! Getting my "HyMav" tomorrow after a long wait, like most. Background of driving nothing but manual shifting vehicles essentially my whole life & having been a road warrior for work, so coasting is second nature. Nothing like a new toy that is practical and saves some bucks and doesn't depreciate before the deal is inked(seems to be the fate for all electrics these days).
Placed my order a year ago, started getting e-mails from Ford last month letting me know it was in production, currently built (5/31) and waiting on that shipped checkmark. XLT w/ Luxury package in Velocity Blue.
👍 I only get an adverage of 42 miles per gallon and about 560 miles to a tank. What drive mode are U in? I may be running in the wrong one.. I am still very pleased with my XL but always interested in leaning better ways to help it’s performance.Great info🎉
2022 XLT Hybrid - currently getting about 49.4 mpg (4.76 l/100k for my fellow Canadians) and was very pleasantly surprised when, after the Hybrid got me up to 100 kph (62 mph), it was able to switch to all electric mode and stayed there until the highway hit a steep hill. Also... how in heck did you get a Hybrid Lariat? Up here in Canada they only offer the Lariat or AWD with the EcoBoost engine. The Hybrid was only available as XL or XLT FWD models.
Great job. Very helpful. I waited about 8 months for my Maverick hybrid. I love the little truck. I live in Puerto Rico so I had to pay over 7000$ then if I were state side. I am applying you goid driving techniques but the roads here are very bad lots of large pot holes are very aggressive drivers with lifted trucks and jeeps driving around me in the dirt emergency lanes. I have to be careful to do well on my regenerative braking as they get mad easy and all carry handguns. Unfortunately my truck started to have problems with the electrical system at 1700 miles. The recall foe the bad cable from the rear battery to the fuse box came apart. The dealer could not find anything wrong so I had to bring it back twice and so then the Ford recall notice and the TH-cam videos, (It is the only hybrid on the Island.), about how to fix it. I still do not have my truck back probably 2 weeks. Waiting f6ir the part to ship to our island.
Placed my order for a 23 Maverick Lariat the other day. As someone who drives a ton for work this is going to be nice coming from my 17mpg 4runner. Love my 4Runner, but I want the gas savings.
I have the same model but driving around my town of Houston, Texas its very difficult to coast brakes without getting the finger. Still love the Maverick.
Absolutely agree - Houston driver as well, I get ~40-45mpg with combo of highway and city via south Houston to west side, 288 and 29 are unforgiving to people who drag their feet - driving at max efficiency is impossible at times without getting run over
I live on an island where the speed limit is 45 mph, local pizza delivery guy had a Colorado he was driving. He finally got a Maverick I can't wait to ask him how much money he saving
Thanks for the info. Ya I think the CVT does have to do with the feel of the acceleration. I had a quad with a CVT, it was odd but eventually you get use to it.
Great video. If you ordered that Lariat directly from Ford it’s around 27k and the base XL hybrid would be about 20k. Dealership will sell that for 50k and the latter 30-35… smh. Ford please make more so the people can obtain one without the stealership markups. Thanks again for the video and love the carbonized grey color.
We paid MSRP at just under $33,000 plus tax license and fees. We also purchased 11 accessories through Ford which are taking almost as long as the truck took to be built from order to delivery. After tax, fees and accessories we are in this baby about $36k
Hi David, our order took over 9 months from order to delivery. There was little to no update from the dealership or the manufacturer. After about 7 months I started receiving emails from Ford with a build date and build progress. Once the vehicle was delivered to the dealership the dealer tried to drop us by saying they would not sell us the vehicle. It slipped out of one of the salesperson's mouth that they are marking up orders that don't get picked up by the original party by $8000 and selling them to a list of new buyers that they had on hand. We walked a fine line between keeping our composure and promising not giving them poor scores on the surveys that were to follow in order to be able to drive off with the truck eventually. The whole experience left a sick feeling in my stomach. Its aggravating and humiliating being refused service when you're an all cash customer who has waited 9 months for something you ordered and left a deposit for. I don't ever want to step foot in that dealership again. Our salesperson who was very pleasant insisted the surveys were a direct reflection on his service and not the management or dealership "his report card" he referred to it as. We did end up giving him top ratings because we enjoyed working with him. There were several other members in the management staff that were also helpful. I am now waiting to be able to order a Ford Lightning. When I am able to do so I will be trying a different dealership but I am less than hopeful the experience will be much different. Although I am a dealer myself I never truly understood why consumers hate dealers so much until now. I strive to be different at my store but when 9 out of 10 dealerships engage in such practices the stereotype will never be broken. More and more car manufacturers are playing with the idea of selling directly to consumers and bypassing the dealerships all together. I hate to see that happen for the industry but unless some of these practices stop I'm afraid that will be the new normal. I hope you enjoy your Maverick once it arrives. Good luck to you!
Wow how do you get that? I drove from my town to Dallas this past wknd and by the time I got home it said 38 mpg which is still really good...but Id love 50! Maybe the 80 to 85 mph speed limit didnt help😅
to get anywhere close to 60 MPG's for me I have to make it a point not to use the heater or AC. Your fuel economy will improve significantly once the truck is fully broken in after 5k miles. Thank you for commenting!
Have you ever driven the Escape PHEV and if so how is the acceleration? I drove a hybrid back in 2020, it seemed very slow. I live in Brooklyn and some of the entrance rams are the size of drives way's. So any car needs to be reasonably quick.
Yes, I have and it does appear to be a little more agile however Hybrids are not known for being quick by any means. With the combined power of gas and electric power it will be able to get out of its own way but there will be about a 1 second delay when you punch the gas and then you will get a ton of engine rev and noise due to the nature of a CVT style transmission. If you were to wear ear plugs and drive it aggressively you would agree it has just enough power but if you were to listen to how loud the engine revs and how much noise you are producing when driving it hard it will make you feel like the vehicle is under powered. None the less the vehicle is designed to rev high when driven hard and it will not hurt anything by any means other than fuel economy. I hope this helps. Thank you for commenting.
Don’t top off your tank Sir…the excess fuel can get into the evap filter and eventually make it send a check engine light and you can’t pass the emissions test if you have that in your state, and it can make more pressure buildup in the tank and cause it to be hard to add gas as it thinks its full and will shut off the pump nozzle over and over again making it very frustrating to get the tank full….this happened with my vw jetta hybrid and is a costly fix 600-900$ or more…anyway thanx for the info and great video 😊
Ford has been using the natural aspirated 2.5 engine for a long while now and it’s proven to be reliable. The ECVT and hybrid system that Ford uses has also been around for a while and proven to be reliable. U really can’t go wrong! I know 2 cases of 15 year old Ford Escape Hybrid going over 300k miles with no major issues. Battery was the issue on both cases.
Hi Sai if past Ford Hybrids are any indicator of future reliability I would say reliability will be excellent. We have also seen Ford Hybrids go 300k or even 400k miles and still run strong.
I have a hybrid, lariat, lux, First Edition and am getting 34 miles per gallon. I have extreme difficulty keeping the ICE motor off. At times it comes on even as I just start it up. I'm in the worst possible conditions, Ohio winter with winter gas and I live in a rural township with a stop sign or light every mile and my longest drive is five miles on an Inter State to get to a grocery store. My Ford mechanic says there are around 40 different things that can tell the computer to start the ICE. I've about given up and am just going to drive it like a regular car!
I’ve tested my self and I get over 500 per gallon with 1/2 a quarter left in tank . I don’t like to run it below below that before adding gas so if I were to run it to almost empty then it would be over 600 so you are right we’re kind of close
looks like the prius formula but with more power. you would never have to change your brake pads. would have loved to see your dash set on the battery level meter instead of the mph
I have the same vehicle you are driving, I get about the same fuel economy but I use eco mode all the time, do you see any difference between normal and eco? I have noticed more regenerative braking and eco mode and also the vehicle coasts a shorter distance in eco versus normal.
Hi Andrew I typically keep mine in normal mode and have only tried Eco mode a few times. From my limited experience in Eco mode it looks like the throttle response is desensitized and I didn't like that you would have to select Eco mode every time you start the car. It would have been nice if the vehicle stayed in whatever mode you left it in last until you manually changed it. I will have to explore it some more and get back to you with more observations.
My wife gets 18.2 mpg city and highway , my son takes the same route and he gets 56.4 mpg but he takes his time and his top speed is 55 mph on the freeway. So 2 people using the same truck on the same day 1 hour apart. SO IS IT THE TRUCK OR COULD IT BE THE DRIVER????? YOU DECIDE!!! It is really hard to believe the difference from one driver to the next. By the way it is a 2024 hybrid maverick XL IT IS MY TRUCK BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT YET OTHERS HAVE BEEN DRIVING ME ALL OVER AND THEY SEEM TO LOVE IT! maybe I will get a turn soon. TRY USING A DIFFERENT GAS STATION IF YOU ARE THAT FAR OFF ON A FILL UP . I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HERE IN CALIFORNIA AN I STOPPED GOING TO THAT STATION AND THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED IT IS REALLY HARD TO PUT MORE GAS IN YOUR TANK THAN 13.8 GAL. ESP. WHEN YOU STILL HAVE GAS IN YOUR TANK. SAD TO SAY SOME BUSINESSES ARE NOT VERY HONEST . GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR TRUCK AS MUCH AS OUR FAMILY HAS ENJOYED OURS !!!!!
Hi Stephen, It really depends on the individual buyer. I thought it was worth the additional cost however the interior of the XLT didn't appeal to me therefore I ended up going with the Lariat.
I have the AWD Ecoboost. Version and I get about 26 mpg in the city. I’ve never taken it on the freeway because where I live everyone drive like idiots.
I couldnt decide whether to get the hybrid or the ICE So I ordered both. Still havent got either . Its been one year this month, October, but will be happy when they come in
yes 43-45 is effortless. I try to finish every tank above 50+MPG's with mixed freeway and city driving. If I can manage to consume an entire tank of fuel with city driving only which happens every once in a while upper 50's or even 60 MPG's is doable.
with the unibody construction you would lose stability and the vehicle would likely twist under certain conditions. I would not recommend it. You'll want a Chassis on frame truck to safely open up the cab to the bed. Thank you for your comment.
@@DirectAutoOutlet Because it's a unibody, I respectfully disagree. VW already has a VW truck called the Tarok where the back of the cab folds down making the bed of the truck longer. It's crazy simple.
I agree! That would hurt the MPG's a little but I would have probably opted for an AWD if it was available. Perhaps in the next model year or two that may become available. Thanks for commenting!
They would sell way more? They sell everyone they can make, I am waiting on 11th month for the Hybrid. If you want AWD buy the eco boost, the Hybrid selling point is great fuel mileage. I don't want AWD, no need in California. This would add quite a bit of weight and loss of power/mileage. You would have a drive shaft and rear differential. I watched a Ford dealer doing oil change on the Hybrid, and they noted how clean the underside was and ease of working on compared to AWD model.
@@billh4301 To be honest I probably won't. I actually need a little more truck than what the Maverick can offer me. It is nice though. Maybe I'll have something similar further into the future.
Yes, that is right. At this rate if I still own the vehicle after 10 years it will have exceeded 300k miles. If it is still running and reliable it will be considered a damn good car! Cheers
Fuel economy will get better after several thousand miles. Slow acceleration, gradual slow downs and maintaining the speed limit on the highway will help with fuel economy tremendously
@@karmendimas5274 no, I meant MPH. That's how you get those high MPGs, keep your speed slow and steady and don't bother about others honking or tailgating you 🤣
I go on lots of long trips but where MPG is concerned you'll get about 39-40 MPG's with the cruise set at about 80 MPH on a long trip. As for pure EV's yes, long trips will require lots of planning and lots of down time at the charging stations waiting to recharge. We are not quite at the point where it makes sense owning a pure EV as your only vehicle.
To be honest, I’m no ev fan, but with 1,500 pay load capacity, it’s almost in half ton territory with a smaller bed. You can still do all the basic maintenance yourself. Most F-150’s I see only have a 5.5ft bed anyway. 2,000lbs could tow a johnboat. I laugh so hard at people with F-250 lariats with no mud on them, a clean bed, and no trailer hitch. You could buy snow chains since it’s fwd. I ordered one, not sure that it’s enough truck, but when it arrives I’ll decide if I want it. My main issue is I do a lot of highway driving. Still 33mpg is way better than 22.
it's quite easy to have the vehicle display 100% return however it is not accurate in practice. The vehicle only uses your regen portion of the tach to track if you're fully within the green range during braking to a complete stop to give you that score. It does help in training the driver to maximize your return however yes, it is not possible to really get 100% return unless you are braking on a downhill grade. Energy is lost to friction and heat making 100% return virtually impossible while driving on a level terrain. Thank you for commenting.
@@DirectAutoOutlet Batteries can only absorb a tiny fraction of the regen current. It is because of the low charge rate of the batteries. Regen won't be very effective until charge rates get better, magnitudes better. Them saying 100% is flat out irresponsible.
I’m getting over 50 to 59 daily on my way to work! On the way back home I get around 30 cause I drive it hard. Finally Ford makes the vehicle I always wanted. Fun to drive, practical, comfortable and roomy.
Couldn't have said it better myself

@@fordxbgtfalcon is there a way to avoid the trash markups?

These are all fine and dandy. But a lot of people including me don't have money for such a vehicle, that's what makes it hard.
I agree I couldn't really afford it either but I had 9 months to warm up to it while we were waiting for our order to be fulfilled. Thanks
Do you have a drive mode that is better for this than the others?
Set the display to read gas and ev modes as it changes😊
Do you use EcoBoost and how much air pressure is in your tires? I'm averaging 48 50

Don’t top off your tank Sir…the excess fuel can get into the evap filter and eventually make it send a check engine light and you can’t pass the emissions test if you have that in your state, and it can make more pressure buildup in the tank and cause it to be hard to add gas as it thinks its full and will shut off the pump nozzle over and over again making it very frustrating to get the tank full….this happened with my vw jetta hybrid and is a costly fix 600-900$ or more…anyway thanx for the info and great video 😊
But how long can it actually stay in all EV mode before the battery runs out? My Honda Insight is like 1 mile
That is awesome milage. Just wondering how reliable is Ford Hybrid?
Ford has been using the natural aspirated 2.5 engine for a long while now and it’s proven to be reliable. The ECVT and hybrid system that Ford uses has also been around for a while and proven to be reliable. U really can’t go wrong! I know 2 cases of 15 year old Ford Escape Hybrid going over 300k miles with no major issues. Battery was the issue on both cases.
Hi Sai if past Ford Hybrids are any indicator of future reliability I would say reliability will be excellent. We have also seen Ford Hybrids go 300k or even 400k miles and still run strong.
@@DirectAutoOutlet that sounds great 😃👍
I have a hybrid, lariat, lux, First Edition and am getting 34 miles per gallon. I have extreme difficulty keeping the ICE motor off. At times it comes on even as I just start it up. I'm in the worst possible conditions, Ohio winter with winter gas and I live in a rural township with a stop sign or light every mile and my longest drive is five miles on an Inter State to get to a grocery store. My Ford mechanic says there are around 40 different things that can tell the computer to start the ICE. I've about given up and am just going to drive it like a regular car!
where did you get the bug shield and the window covers
I've got 1600 miles with 45.2 mpg so far. I drive over 80 miles highway everyday
Do you use the L setting. Does it help anything but save brakes
I’ve tested my self and I get over 500 per gallon with 1/2 a quarter left in tank . I don’t like to run it below below that before adding gas so if I were to run it to almost empty then it would be over 600 so you are right we’re kind of close
can you get the black appearance package on the 2022?
I got 49mpg in the beginning. Now only 39mpg after my first fill up..does the type of gas play a role?
I wonder what happens on freeway mileage would be…. Any ideas?
In New Orleans and Los Angeles you don’t have to break, just go straight through stop signs and red lights, no law enforcement no problem.
looks like the prius formula but with more power. you would never have to change your brake pads. would have loved to see your dash set on the battery level meter instead of the mph
I have the same vehicle you are driving, I get about the same fuel economy but I use eco mode all the time, do you see any difference between normal and eco? I have noticed more regenerative braking and eco mode and also the vehicle coasts a shorter distance in eco versus normal.
Hi Andrew I typically keep mine in normal mode and have only tried Eco mode a few times. From my limited experience in Eco mode it looks like the throttle response is desensitized and I didn't like that you would have to select Eco mode every time you start the car. It would have been nice if the vehicle stayed in whatever mode you left it in last until you manually changed it. I will have to explore it some more and get back to you with more observations.
Great let me know what you find out, that way I can decide if it's worth it to put it in eco mode, or just leave it in normal.
My wife gets 18.2 mpg city and highway , my son takes the same route and he gets 56.4 mpg but he takes his time and his top speed is 55 mph on the freeway. So 2 people using the same truck on the same day 1 hour apart. SO IS IT THE TRUCK OR COULD IT BE THE DRIVER????? YOU DECIDE!!! It is really hard to believe the difference from one driver to the next. By the way it is a 2024 hybrid maverick XL IT IS MY TRUCK BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT YET OTHERS HAVE BEEN DRIVING ME ALL OVER AND THEY SEEM TO LOVE IT! maybe I will get a turn soon. TRY USING A DIFFERENT GAS STATION IF YOU ARE THAT FAR OFF ON A FILL UP . I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HERE IN CALIFORNIA AN I STOPPED GOING TO THAT STATION AND THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED IT IS REALLY HARD TO PUT MORE GAS IN YOUR TANK THAN 13.8 GAL. ESP. WHEN YOU STILL HAVE GAS IN YOUR TANK. SAD TO SAY SOME BUSINESSES ARE NOT VERY HONEST . GOOD LUCK IN THE FUTURE AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR TRUCK AS MUCH AS OUR FAMILY HAS ENJOYED OURS !!!!!
how come hybrids don't charge whenever the wheels turn period, not just coasting or breaking?
Ford Maverick Maniac channel has a video showing his hybrid gets 20 mpg better than his Jeep Cherokee. Big difference.
I'll look for it thanks for the tip
I want one so bad
order banks should be opening back up in 2-3 weeks stay tuned!
why didnt you show on your dash , the MPG your currently getting???
What color is this truck?
Nice Toyota hybrid system.
Toyota makes the best hybrid system in my opinion
Which is why am buying one and replacing my Toyota Prius
I was at an auto show and the Toyota guy told me Ford and Toyota worked together to engineer the Atkinson hybrid engine.
Thinking on ordering one after Jan 2023. Think the xlt is worth the additional $2000 cost
Hi Stephen, It really depends on the individual buyer. I thought it was worth the additional cost however the interior of the XLT didn't appeal to me therefore I ended up going with the Lariat.
I get about 500-520 on a tank. That's about 41mpg in my Lariat hybrid.
That’s still pretty good. I don’t even get 500 on my Prius
I rarely get over 35 mpg on my Hybrid XLT in ECO mode.
Sounds like user error. There's a method to driving hybrid vehicles and achieving top MPG numbers.
I have the AWD Ecoboost. Version and I get about 26 mpg in the city. I’ve never taken it on the freeway because where I live everyone drive like idiots.
On your Ecoboost you should see an improvement with highway driving unlike the Hybrid where highway driving reduces its MPG's. Cheers!
I couldnt decide whether to get the hybrid or the ICE So I ordered both. Still havent got either . Its been one year this month, October, but will be happy when they come in
I have one and lve gotten 43-45 but 50-59 ?
yes 43-45 is effortless. I try to finish every tank above 50+MPG's with mixed freeway and city driving. If I can manage to consume an entire tank of fuel with city driving only which happens every once in a while upper 50's or even 60 MPG's is doable.
Your paying over $6.00 a gallon? What are you using jet fuel?
That is what we pay here in California
absolutely it is even higher now. Welcome to California we are currently at over $7 at many fueling stations.
Welcome to California
I wanting in a fwd phev or fwd all bev ev!
I wonder if anyone has tried opening up the cab to the bed 🤔 making into the perfect camper
with the unibody construction you would lose stability and the vehicle would likely twist under certain conditions. I would not recommend it. You'll want a Chassis on frame truck to safely open up the cab to the bed. Thank you for your comment.
@@DirectAutoOutlet Because it's a unibody, I respectfully disagree. VW already has a VW truck called the Tarok where the back of the cab folds down making the bed of the truck longer. It's crazy simple.
I'm getting 38 per gallon 😊city driving 🚗
Best i can do on 87 oct. Is 688
I get 59 mpg taking my time driving
Btr than my 26 a gallon on my 22 hybrid xlt
If they were able to make this thing an AWD with this engine they would sell way more.
I agree! That would hurt the MPG's a little but I would have probably opted for an AWD if it was available. Perhaps in the next model year or two that may become available. Thanks for commenting!
I would have thought Ford would have to take on the RAV4 Hybrid.
They would sell way more? They sell everyone they can make, I am waiting on 11th month for the Hybrid. If you want AWD buy the eco boost, the Hybrid selling point is great fuel mileage. I don't want AWD, no need in California. This would add quite a bit of weight and loss of power/mileage. You would have a drive shaft and rear differential. I watched a Ford dealer doing oil change on the Hybrid, and they noted how clean the underside was and ease of working on compared to AWD model.
@@billh4301 To be honest I probably won't. I actually need a little more truck than what the Maverick can offer me. It is nice though. Maybe I'll have something similar further into the future.
I waited a year and a half to get my pre-order. I think they're selling lol
Drives a truck but keeps Sinead O'Connor on the radio. Questionable at best! I like the truck......
Great attention to detail but not sure who that is and what you're trying to imply none the less thanks for watching the video cheers!
Tl:dr he adds a few sugar packets into the tank
I’m getting 4000 mpg, mostly freeway
That's fantastic please do a video and share with us all how you do it. Thanks
Give it 10 years and you'll know whether its a good truck or not
Yes, that is right. At this rate if I still own the vehicle after 10 years it will have exceeded 300k miles. If it is still running and reliable it will be considered a damn good car! Cheers
Averaging 35 mph...
Fuel economy will get better after several thousand miles. Slow acceleration, gradual slow downs and maintaining the speed limit on the highway will help with fuel economy tremendously
you mean mpg? you said mph!
@@karmendimas5274 no, I meant MPH. That's how you get those high MPGs, keep your speed slow and steady and don't bother about others honking or tailgating you 🤣
So what you’re saying is screw taking your EV on a long distance trip it’s a city car.
I go on lots of long trips but where MPG is concerned you'll get about 39-40 MPG's with the cruise set at about 80 MPH on a long trip. As for pure EV's yes, long trips will require lots of planning and lots of down time at the charging stations waiting to recharge. We are not quite at the point where it makes sense owning a pure EV as your only vehicle.
its a hybrid toy though- no AWD no real towing
It will tow a boat or trailer no problem. What are you talking about?
To be honest, I’m no ev fan, but with 1,500 pay load capacity, it’s almost in half ton territory with a smaller bed. You can still do all the basic maintenance yourself. Most F-150’s I see only have a 5.5ft bed anyway. 2,000lbs could tow a johnboat. I laugh so hard at people with F-250 lariats with no mud on them, a clean bed, and no trailer hitch. You could buy snow chains since it’s fwd. I ordered one, not sure that it’s enough truck, but when it arrives I’ll decide if I want it. My main issue is I do a lot of highway driving. Still 33mpg is way better than 22.
@@TheTopGun920 the gas one tows double or more
Ah god... almost 90 bucks for 14 Gallons of gas. Only in California... xD
Sorry, but 100% energy return is not possible.
it's quite easy to have the vehicle display 100% return however it is not accurate in practice. The vehicle only uses your regen portion of the tach to track if you're fully within the green range during braking to a complete stop to give you that score. It does help in training the driver to maximize your return however yes, it is not possible to really get 100% return unless you are braking on a downhill grade. Energy is lost to friction and heat making 100% return virtually impossible while driving on a level terrain. Thank you for commenting.
@@DirectAutoOutlet Batteries can only absorb a tiny fraction of the regen current. It is because of the low charge rate of the batteries. Regen won't be very effective until charge rates get better, magnitudes better. Them saying 100% is flat out irresponsible.
going 15mph is trash and not a good example for mpg
Well I won't ever know about that if I get mine. When the tank get's to 1/2 full it is time to fill it up. 3/4 is even better.
