What's The Real World MPG Of The Ford Maverick Hybrid?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- We tested the 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid over a 300 mile torture test to see if Ford can hit its MPG numbers in the real world. The Maverick Hybrid starts at $20,995 and is the cheapest truck you can buy in America. In fact, it's one of the most inexpensive vehicles you can buy today.
These trucks are popular and reservations for the 2023 model should open up this summer.

In regards to the Hybrid only having Fwd. Keep in mind that Fwd cars do very well in snow and and ice because the weight of the drive train is on the driven wheels. Also, the Maverick has a semi-sophisticated traction control system that imitates an LSD setup in the front. With some good winter traction tires I don't think many customers will be disappointed in the Fwd only Hybrid.
It seems maybe Ford may getting ready to introduce a 4WD/AWD hybrid. After all, they offer it in their other vehicles that have the same powertrain.
Yeah. You should have heard this traffic cop go on an on about how fwd vehicles totally suck, even in the snow! I have a 5spd rwd truck and it does great in the snow with weight in the back
I always recommend snow tires if you live in a snow zone. The difference in safety is night and day.
In 20 years I've only driven FWD cars in Michigan, on all-seasons no less, and while I'm on the east side of the state that doesn't quite get the same snow totals as the west, I can count on maybe one hand when I felt I could have used more traction. If anything, I've been limited by ground clearance. So FWD only shouldn't be a deal breaker in a lot of places. Even some good snow tires would probably suit 98% of peoples needs.
AWD I imagine would probably make things a lot easier though, and less stressful. It's all a moot point because dealers and inventory are still all screwed up and I'd probably have a better chance of driving home in a new 4x4 F-150. 😅
@@OnTheRocks71 Some of the newer all seasons are considered all weather tires. They are snow rated. They are equal to snow tires of 20 years ago, but you can use them in the heat.
Awesome video, Eric! Overall I think Ford really nailed this as the right vehicle for the times.
I think it’s a great vehicle for times we live in. I’d totally own this if I needed a truck.
It is surprising. My Mustang was junk. Sold it.
@@maitreyas.4902 I'm not a big Ford fan in general.
I have nearly 6k miles on my Maverick hybrid and have averaged 39.5 mpg. That includes about 250 miles of towing a small 1600 pound camper. While towing the camper, I averaged 25 mpg.
I really do like this truck!
Good numbers
Impressive! Did you have a big dealer mark up??
@@johnfitbyfaithnet Total price delivered, including tax, registration and tags was $23,245. Included spray in lining, tonneau cover, hitch and Copilot 360.
Cool video. Hopefully the hybrid cable issue is fixed on these! Next two years are gonna see Mavericks everywhere once supply chains are repaired. Ford nailed this truck
I’ve had my Maverick for a little over 10K miles now. Simple answer to mileage: you get great mileage in city driving when you drive conservatively….. in the 50+ mpg range. Drive aggressively, it’ll drop depending on how aggressive. I’ve gotten 60+ a few time between where I live and a nearby town (usually heavy traffic). When I’m behind slow drivers, I always get around 51-54, and occasionally in the low 60’s. When the road is open, I drive faster and mileage drops to 32-38 range.
I have been driving my Maverick Lariat with a rigid factory toneau cover now for 4500 miles and since new I get about 42.5 MPG with about 3600 of those miles on the hwy. I drive from Hershey, PA to Cape Cod and then a 150 mile round trip to a remote work site. Going 65 - 70 mph in Eco mode, I do get the 42.5 mpg, really. In city driving with short travel distances (
Those are pretty good numbers. My trip involved roughly 18k ft up and down so that has a huge impact on the economy, but it’s very much real world west of the Rockies.
@@revmatchtv During my many month wait for the Maverick, I watched many videos like yours that helped me feel better about my purchase. As mentioned, I am happy with the Maverick for my particular needs and thank you again for your video. I am sure the next person with a decision to make will take it all in as did I. Good job!
I have a 2022 Rav4. If I drive it as perfect as I can I have gotten 38.7. Balls out 38.3. Like it, but find the MPG puzzling. Never got over 38.7 even in the city.
@@ericfitzsimmons1202 Still very good numbers for a mid-size SUV.
@@ppjjbb13 big dealer mark up?
If this Maverick have no major issues, it would be the most functional and few efficient truck people would want. Almost the same vibe with the Honda Element, which the functionality was the reason many people wanted it.
I have a Lariat Hybrid and the dash at this time is at 47.9 avg, that is a mix of highway and city. I love it.
That's amazing
I test drove this over the weekend on 8/20/2022 at Ford of Orange in California. Gotta say. love the Hybrid Lariat version. Very nice leather interiors, push button start, nicer trims. The truck was very quiet. Drives like a car, didn't feel like a truck at all and very good suspension. Its a hybrid, so is slower than the 2.0L turbo. But still gets up and go. Put into perspective. Been driving a 2001 Frontier Truck, 2.4L and that thing only gets 143 HP. the Hybrid is quick enough for city driving. Its a great truck at $28900 (Lariat Hybrid with no added extras)
Your setup is my setup. I ordered a hybrid lariat in iconic silver with no options to quicken delivery. Still waiting.
I found the Maverick (hybrid) I wanted at a dealership about 240 miles from my house. I drove my old 2001 Ranger there, traded it in, and drove the Maverick back home -- 4 to 5 hours...made a couple stops. Went through mountainous terrain, got 44 mpg. Average speed I drove was probably about 55 mph. Since then I'm still averaging 44 mpg doing mainly freeway driving at 60 to 70 mph. I've used almost exclusively normal drive mode with a little sport. I tried eco mode for about 15 minutes today. I've had the truck 6 days now.
Enjoy your new Maverick!
It's an E-cvt, not just an old cvt... also it's 250 horsepower in the 2L turbo. It's like 190ish horsepower in the hybrid. Can't wait for my xlt hybrid to get here (hopefully in the next few weeks 🤞)
Yep. This is a Ford designed unit. I have a review of the 2L here. I think it’s quite good. ruclips.net/video/3JKRcTZ6txY/видео.html
When did you get the call that your order was being placed? We ordered in May, got a call beginning of August to check we were still interested and that orders were going in on 8/2/22. We knew we would have a minimum wait of 6 months from order placement in May. Also an XLT Hybrid. Cannot wait. Looking at getting a 2nd one to replace our awful 10yr old fiesta LOL.
@@debraclark388 I ordered with a down payment on December 2nd and I found out my order was pulled for build on July 15th. They told me not to expect it here on Vancouver Island BC until November 8th or sooner. I guess they store them in Vancouver until they have enough vehicles to fill a barge over to here. I got the sunroof and luxury package on mine. Really does slow the order down with those.
@@debraclark388 I think it can be as fast as 6 weeks but I'm going to expect it to take longer and I'll be extra happy if it's sooner
@@rockobeam2706 thanks! One of the sales men heard us ask for the spray in the bed and he suggested we skip that because it was causing delays, and do it once it arrives. You have been waiting a long time. I hope you get it sooner!
I’ve been eyeing these for a bit now. Really a great vehicle for a starting price of 20k. Might have to see if they have any model down at my local dealership so I can get inside and see how it feels. Thanks for the great video.
My GF does quite a bit of freeway driving, and is getting a solid 39.0 mpg. I'm sure if she did a bit more in town driving, she could bump it to 40.0 mpg no problem. I'm ordering my 23' next month.
good luck, still waiting on my Oct 23rd 2021 order.
@@slingbart705 we ordered two of them around the same time, and they both came in around January. My GF got hers and we love it. Like a dummy, I let mine go. Now I'm kicking myself :( None the less, I found an internet dealer who swears I can lock one in at exactly MSRP. Honestly, if it takes two years...., eh. It will be my secondary vehicle anyway. And I LOVE my 2019 Prius, which gets 52mpg... and makes me some good money ;) Great for cross country trips too. Screw motels.... all I need is my climate control, my bedspread and pillow ;) .....and truck stops for $15 showers :) But I assume one could do this in any Hybrid, including the Maverick. BTW, I don't think people who have ever had a hybrid really consider this.... But being able to run your climate control all night, and use almost zero gas is HUGE !!! :)
I did a 800 mile trip computer was also saying 37 mpg however when i did the math i did 41mpg. I was driving 65-75 in ecomode.
Good numbers!
In general I got 33-46 mpg depending on where I’m at. But even in nothing but freeway to freeway going 75mph, I average around 40mpg.
Did you have a big dealer mark up?
Great video. Looking forward to getting one of these in the future.
I appreciate this kind of real world testing keep it up, cheers!
Knowing a US Gallon is 3.88 liters that's not bad the only thing that stops me from buying a Maverick it's not sold in the UK and I would like it in manual. Thank you for the video and thumbs up.
There are no manual hybrid vehicles anymore as far as I know. The last one I remember was the Honda CR-Z.
Ask any Ford mechanic and they will tell you don't top off the gas. Just pump it as long as that first pump. In the warm months, my Mav hybrid will get 44 consistently. Also, it has been shown that the best mileage can be had on the Slippery drive mode.
I live in Hawaii and even though it’s a small island I drive a ton! For work. 400-600 miles per week. In my opinion the hybrid and small size of the truck is everything I need for the island. Now I just gotta survive the markup 😂 the dealerships straight up criminal.
I don't care about the 0 to 60, or towing, just need a small truck with good MPG.
Last week, Lancaster, PA to Wapakineta, OH 532 miles, 14.123 gal. I-76 and us 30 in Pa, I-70 and us 33 in Ohio. 45 to 55 mph for about 70 miles all told. rest 70 mph or so. dash said 23 miles to empty. actual milage 37.67. hybird Lariat trim. It does a lot better in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan on the flat ground.
It now has 37230 miles on it. I was able to run with the nuts on interstate no problem. I am well pleased.
I would take those numbers all day long! I don’t know if you have already done this same route with the ecoboost awd model, if you haven’t please please do it. That seems to be the model most sold so that would be cool to see. Thanks for another great informative video!
I had the ecoboost but did not do a mileage run. I do know it was considerably less efficient though. ruclips.net/video/3JKRcTZ6txY/видео.html
Excellent truck. But dealerships are adding 10,000 market adjustment to all trucks. 6 dealerships checked all do it southern California.
Adding a tonneau cover to my Maverick, mpg goes up by 3. 39-40 highway, 52 in town.
Like buying unnecessary parts? Keep topping off the tank. "What's wrong? The check engine light is on again!"
None of these videos ever mentioning the use of a/c or heating, it does make a difference, I live in Florida and put 4,600 miles in the last few months with the a/c on all the time and getting 33.1 mpg using a Fuelly app.
It was pretty hot and the AC was running the entire trip. I did have it in Eco mode which reduces throttle response.
I’m sure you already know but the 2 L eco-boost has 250 hp and 277 torque. The all-wheel-drive 2 L with the 4K tow package is the quickest I uploaded a video where I got 5.83 seconds 0 to 60 time using a dragy!!👍🏽👍🏽
That's very quick! Here's my 2.0L Maverick review if you're interested ruclips.net/video/3JKRcTZ6txY/видео.html
@@revmatchtv i’m subscribed already lol👍🏽👍🏽
I usually beat The Estimate and generally get closer to the highway mileage than the city mileage.
Yes drive conservatively. Eco drive mode helps. I have 100 Mav only videos on my channel you may like.
Cool video.
I actually think 0-60 under 8 seconds is impressive at elevation, particularly in a vehicle that costs 20K brand new.
Also, a front drive vehicle with winter tires is generally very effective in snow.
It wouldn’t compare to an F-150, but compared to a Corolla or other low priced, entry level vehicle, it’s more than respectable.
And as far as comfort goes, anybody well over 6 feet tall would likely prefer a Maverick to a Corolla whether you’re going across town or on a long drive like the one in your video.
The drawback may be if you try and drive it for 15 or 20 years like you could do in a Corolla. Corollas just don’t die.
Actually in snowy climates snow tires are more important than awd. I mean AWD is great but good snow tires are more important
100%
Cool experiment, had no idea the trip computer in modern cars lie that much! 4 mpg difference is a pretty significant fib.
Still, I love this truck. Simple, cheap, small, friendly, and useful...Just like small trucks USED to be!
I’ve never seen a trip computer that was close. They always paint a rosy picture! And yes this reminds me a lot of the Japanese trucks of the 80s in terms of size, but the cabin is much bigger here.
They arent typically lying so much as making a bad guess. Most of the ones Ive seen are taking an average of what the car thinks the fuel consumption is over the last few miles. The average smooths out some of the peaks. But it also is not an average of the entire trip. So if you look at it only after a long downhill it looks like your overall economy is better than it actually is. If you look at it after a long uphill, it will look worse. It is also certainly possible that the estimator is expecting the electric motor to kick in more than it is. Again, not technically a lie, just a bad estimate.
Snow tires or All-Weather Tires that Nokian invested is an amazing option. It is mud and snow rated but can also be used in warm weather. I had nothing but impressive experience sith Nokian plus all their tires are low rolling resistant so it should suit the hybrid well. I got these tires for my moms Corolla and they were fine with decently high unplowed snow. Which otherwise for regular all-Seasons I would be very concerned with. My next tires will definitely be a Nokian All-Weather tire. Which again is amazing tires overall. They have lower end all weather if money is a concern. Check their website for the names. Bec most tire companies DO NOT know the difference between "All-Weather" and all-Seasons which DO NOT have the Mud and snow Rating as All-Weather's do. Mind you their are other brands that make All-Weather. But, honestly, nokian is premium and is KNOWN for snow tires. They also recently created a tire manufacturing plant in the US. Which, I kind of want to visit if they do tours. I just have passion for tires and safety. Most cases these tires are good enough as long as the snow isn't so high your car becomes a snow plow. Which, in most cases isn't an issue in a small truck. Any questions let me know.
I know there's a time crunch but you should add some shots to your videos of the scenery of your drives. Like the Kern river, lake Isabella, ect... it would be nice, great video though.
Great idea!
I was considering a Maverick but when I saw they where built in Mexico I changed my mind. Good video.
So are Tacomas
You can get much better mpg with the ev coach and braking coach . I got 51 mpg last tank and some highway
I love my Ford Maverick XL Hybrid
never over fill past the first click on gas lol can mess up the gaskets in the gas tank and break it
keep in mind Hybrid works in city better not on HWY... 34.4 on HWY not Bad do that test drive in city let's see the result...
It was a press car. We only get them for a few days. I'm sure it will do better in the city.
Booyah, I'm still waiting for mine 👊😁👍🇺🇲🇲🇽🇨🇦
Lol. Let me do this 0-60 test in sport mode during a fuel economy test.
What color is that maverick? It is a nice color but looking at the available colors I don't see it unless it is the Area 51 color. If it is the color looks a lot better on your truck then in the brochure.
In my experience, MHEV mileage is very, very, very, veeeery route-dependent. My CR-V hybrid, which is the "generator-powered EV" variant of mild hybrid, can get anywhere between 31.5 and ~50.1 route MPG (starting from a near empty battery) depending on the route and traffic conditions.
Yup. This is a very challenging route!
Ford did a great job on the hybrid truck!!!
Engine probably be toast at 50k miles though.
i think i saw you on the highway in bakersfield!
Could be? I've seen a few of these around.
Thanks for sharing, Eric. Dealer markups will be a thing of the past "soon." Never top off your fuel as you did. You must leave that head space through your vehicle's vapor collection system for proper airflow. This can ruin the mechanism, making it work improperly and causing your car to run less efficiently.
My topping off is equivalent to a couple ounces. We'll see how well Ford does with the new model. They will roll it out for EVs first, but there's going to be a lot of dealer pushback on direct sales. In fact, there are strong franchise laws in most states that will make it difficult for Ford to do this.
@@revmatchtv I don’t think it’ll be as difficult as you’re implying. Tesla already does this with little to no problems.
@@anothergoogleuser Tesla doesn't sell in 10 states, and another 8 have limits. Tesla does not rely on dealers though. There's a fair bit of nuance, but it will be a challenge for Ford to move to an all online model.
That's much quicker 0-60 than my Fusion Hybrid's 8.9 seconds, and the truck body will allow me to do chores in the yard that my Fusion won't. The only things that will bum me out about trading the Fusion is that it gets better mpg highway, (I get over 50 mpg if I stay under 70 mph) and that the Fusion is paid off.
I am not ready for a hybrid or an American product, I just got a Hyundai Santa Cruz. More stylish and better guarantee!
That's the exact truck I bought, XLT/lux/CP360 with even the rear sliding window. It will be here in two weeks.
Congrats! Great little truck!
How much was it?
Surprised you weren't driving back to the Ozarks.....
This should be the future of the Honda Ridgeline
My 2020 Kia Rio gets 51 mpg's on the hiway. I was considering but that's a down grade.
What driving mode did you use? I missed what you said. Very important.
Did you cover truck bed and verify mpg? Considering the air drag on truck is more without it?
Hmm I'm easy on the pedal of my '17 focus 3cyl ecoboost and net 57mpg on the highway. Suprised noone ever brings that up! Nice truck though.
Great mpg!
If I could get the hybrid in all wheel drive I would buy it I love where we get lots of snow
It's coming.
Highway, 75-80 mph..36 mpg. City, depending on lights, 46-52mpg
In my Honda Accord, the difference between checking the mileage using fill ups and using the built in electronic calculator is only off .1 mpg (1/10 mpg), which amazed me. For the first dozen fill ups I calculated it manually and the results alway concurred with the onboard calculator.
Excellent!
My Tacoma 4 cylinder gets 21-23mpg if I drive conservatively and it has horrible visibility, a horrible seating position, cheap ugly interior, is way slower and cost thousands more. I have a double cab so the payload is the same and my bed is only 6 inches longer. Factor in lower initial purchase price and lower operating costs and the whole higher trade in value argument goes out the window. Before someone argues about reliability, lookup high mileage Ford Escape hybrid taxis, they run for 300-400k miles. It's a Mazda designed 4 cylinder and Ford has been making reliable hybrids for well over a decade.
I would happily pay $27000…if I could find it for that price..I don’t think that exists anywhere
Holy Gas prices, Batman!
If you do decide to get one make sure to get cruise control
Don't quite agree on it being second overall. I drive a Ford Fusion Hybrid, and I get 40.1 MPG overall. It does not beat the Prius, but it is a much nicer car
2nd of two cars I've tested on this 300 mile route.
First person I've heard that doesn't like the seats. Interesting.
Yeah - I didn't find them too comfortable on a long trip. They're fine for me around the city.
Ford recalls 100,000 plus hybrid engines
When they rate the volume of a gas tank do they consider it up to where the gas pump quits? If not that could throw the results off.
Not sure what you mean. I topped of the tank the exact same way both times.
If they would take my 2015 Focus in trade.....I’d buy one.
They should paired the 2.0 liter turbo with a hybrid. That's what they did with Grand cherokee
I think there will be a few more power train iterations of this. Probably even a full EV at some point.
I've found my cars (two different '12 Cruze Eco) are about 10% optimistic too. that care routinely beats EPA as well (best tank 48.6 calculated, 53 on monitor) Is this common with all manufacturers?
I've never owned or driven a car that was accurate fwiw.
Lol @21.5K starting. Ford dealers are being ridiculous
I think it's unnecessary to "top up "with the extra 1/3 gallon or so, once the pump automatically shuts off...Unless you did the same thing at the fill up at the start, with the Exact same amount of " top up " you would not be getting a completely accurate number of the amount of fuel burned..
I did the exact same thing at the start.
Wish Ford would make AWD an option on the hybrid power train.
It's coming!
I got my hybrid from almost 2 months i am getting 45 mpg.
Did you do the launch test mid MPG test?
Yes. Two 0-60 launches and I showed one. A few full throttle bits on the drive as well. I was not tyring to extract the maximum MPG. I was trying to drive like an average person would.
3:56
you promised to not drive it fast or rough
also cars arent meant for racing
whats up with people testing all cars 0-60?
This truck has sport mode, like what the f**k?😀😃😄😁😆🤣
thanks for the review. However, you are forgetting a few things. Did you fill up from where you filled up before the trip. Each pump is going to be different when filling a tank.
Secondly, hills are brutal on mileage. When manufacturers test vehicles the are ideal conditions and not everyday conditions.
So, the mileage will be somewhat off.
I had a Maverick on order and cancelled it after finding out the truck won't be built until sometime in 2023.
I drive a (and would keep it) a Prius Prime that is electric and then switches to hybrid when the charge is gone. I'd love to see the Maverick or a small Toyota built similar. I'd pick one up when the shortages are over.
Bob, he did mention he filled up the tank before the trip. And yes I agree a plug in hybrid would be amazing for the Maverick!
I mentioned at the beginning of the video I topped off and filled up at the same location at the end of the trip. My fuel numbers are dead accurate.
@@revmatchtv Thanks, I missed it at the beginning.
Our Hybrid is getting 41 MPG
Darn good mpg
6.59/g??? wtf! 4.17/g here in MD and that's still twice as much as it should be.
It's below $6/gal here now, but it was at its peak when I shot this video.
Any videos on a plug in hybrid?
I have an upcoming video on the Escape PHEV and the Lexus NX450h+ coming
why in the world do people keep reviewing this truck and assume the person who purchases it would not try to get the best fuel economy possible? testing the truck without showing people what it is capable of is ridiculous and somewhat insulting to your viewers. 3000 miles on my hybrid, just over 50 miles per gallon. Do I run Eco mode, Hyper mile and everything else I can do, of course I do. If you don’t care about fuel economy purchase the eco-boost. A real world test would actually show what they can do in the real world , EPA has already tried to replicate worst case scenario, why not replicate the best? Allen
It's great that you enjoy the fuel economy, but not everyone wants hypermile. Not eveyone hypermiles their Prius. Not everyone drives the same way and real world involves mountains for the west coast.
@@revmatchtv Maybe everyone doesn’t no what their vehicle is capable of because no one takes the time to show them. Allen
My honda crv gets 34 on freeway…my wifes Altima gets 42.
price creeped up by a grand.
The Devel 16 is back any updates 😃😃😃
It’s a C8 Corvette that costs millions. still out of my budget.
Being only FWD is a deal breaker.
Admittedly FWD can do better than RWD in some muddy conditions, not having an AWD option takes this one off the table for me.
I could see myself driving one of these if it had a 4WD or AWD option. I hate the name though, the Maverick is a nice, classic car. They should have called it the Ford Stranger as it's a strange Ranger.
It seems very likely they will bring an AWD Hybrid to market becuase sales have been very strong so far.
@@revmatchtv probably a $8K option though...
313miles/ 7:07hrs= 44mph.avg @34mpg
Mixed drive or Highway w/stops?
I stopped to film. Filming is very time consuming! This was 95% highway.
Hybrid city 35 , HWY 30 .
The hybrid I show on videos on my channel gets 35 mpg combined.
Carvana is selling 23 thousand dollar used mavericks for 49 grand! Until Ford get their dealers in line I'm not paying over 40 grand for a 20 grand vehicle! It's just not happening. Kinda makes your little video here ,pointless ,don't you think 🤔?
Order a 2024 next summer at msrp.
Greetings Hawkeye
Greetings
I don't really feel like it's lying as you took it up a mountain and mpg on the odometer is the average not even supposed to be accurate. If you did the same miles on all flat road it would be closer to accurate. Vehicles at high elevation have to work harder and the computer isn't going to know what the elevation is and do the calculations. Even you said on the video the mpg going change going up and down the mountain, which will obviously make it inaccurate. That would be like if I drove 300 miles and floored every now and then.
This is just my experience with my 2020 Ranger. Driving around miami is pretty flat, but when I go to Georgia, Tennessee, NC and SC. When I drive to Orlando for example the truck would pull 20mpg but once I go past into the 500miles it's in the 24s then when I get up to the 700s in the trip it would drop to 22-23.
If I reset the trip meter and drive like very light (somewhere around 2rpm) it could show me 30mpg.
At least once a year I make those trips so like I said that's just my opinion. From 26,000 miles
So if you want to see what the real numbers are run that same trip 2x on same day or atleast run it till the tank is almost empty.
Also when I first got my truck I was doing 14mpg found out it was my fault heavy foot. Once using cruise control I noticed the truck has a sweet spot on the rpms. Ranger is a 10speed though.
granted I drive like an old lady and sometimes piss off people behind me but I've consistently been getting mid 50's around town and sometimes even mid 60's.
Wow!
Exactly. I get 46 actual MPG driving 80% highway.
Europeans are envious of our gas prices.
You didn't "beat" the EPA 33MPG by a statistical factor! 34.3 vs: 33 can be a fuel pump error by a guy who has pumped millions of gallons of gas for a living! You are ignoring how HEAVY the Maverick is. It will wear-out a set of tires in 35-40K miles instead of 60-70K miles. New set of tires are NOT $800, but $1200-go on-line and check yourself-they aren't load range "D" tires but "E" tires, 50% more costly, like almost all hybrids. I have a VW Campmobile and know about heavy vehicles and load range "E" tires. They're part of the deal on specialized vehicles, except today, with EV's and hybrids ALL cars are speciality vehicles but buyers don't know it! They take twice as far to stop (or more), handle poorly, accelerate to speed poorly, owner's don't know how to drive them!
35K on a set of tires is pretty good. And yup, tires like everything are more expensive now. The overall cost of ownership should be very reasonable in this vehicle. Owners routinely get better highway MPG than this test because ther drive is flat, not mountainous.
No more affordable cords every again same with other dealers big car lots will be 100.000 mile beasts worn out crates with high dollar prices junky for Sale u want new you'll wait months and pay rearly with 5 figures or more show this truck in snow
man don't do the top off its documented it fucks up sensors in the cars
That’s not even remotely true. How would a sensor deal with a bump or corner?
I can't find it at my lo8 dealers
Best to pre-order online.
18,000 ft. ? The highest point in California is little more than 14,000 ft ! In an EV car wouldn't most of the energy on the downhill side of the hill be recaptured ?
18,000 accumulated vertical over 300 miles. Up and down and up and down. Calculated by Google maps.
@@revmatchtv............ Thanks for explaining that point. How about regaining energy on the down hills.
@@anzaal You definitely get some energy back going downhills but it’s nowhere near 100%. Hills factor into the overall fuel consumption. Ultimately since I did a loop I went up as much as j went down.
@@revmatchtv ....Appreciate your time and reply....." Liked" your YT and will check for more info in the future.
How tall are you?
5’9”
I like how we're all pretending you can buy one of these. Even if you ordered one a YEAR ago you probably don't have yours yet.
The emperor has no clothes people.
Order for 2023 should open up in a few weeks. Then it’s probably a 6-8 month wait. Unfortunately it’s the same story across the industry. I think things will open up in 18-24 months when the new supply chains begin to come online and the current ones get raw materials.
Order XL non hybrid 1 Jan 2022 and it was delivered 14 Apr 2022. Prior to this had a 2005 Ranger and the maverick is the Best Buy for the dollar today
yep, still waiting on my xlt hybrid lux from Oct 23, 2021
