This may get a rise out of some of you. I travel a 100 mile stretch of very rural & mostly flat interstate, back & forth on a regular once a week basis. I have found that drafting gets me about 25 - 26mpg on that run at about 70mph. That is to say that I will intentionally follow a larger...
I regularly made 700+ miles on a 36 gallon tank with my 2015 302A 157" 4WD with the 3.5 Ecoboost & a 36 gallon tank. My 2019 RCLB 2WD with 5.0 motor, & 3.15 rear end averages 24.5mpg. My 2022 Powerboost 302A 157" 4WD averages about 27mpg on its 30.6 gallon tank & consistently shows 800+...
Thank you for reminding me! I will make a point of rechecking all of those settings. On the other hand, if it is not, the default settings really ought to be at the lower end of the range spectrum for safety's sake.
I have turned off these various settings myself. But as of now, I cannot fathom how the Cruise Control speed setting can change itself, without intentional input.
If there is anyone who can enlighten me as to how I can insure that doesn't happen again, I would be very appreciative. It is...
I have a 2022 302a with Adaptive Cruise. I have had this same problem with rapid acceleration on Cruise Control on a few different occasions over the last several months.
It happened to me early this morning. I decided to check in here to see if anyone else was having the same problem, &...
Two lane roads with Speed Limits of 35 - 55 & stop signs & traffic lights thrown in. If you are going to have to travel in heavy traffic, you can at least get good fuel mileage, while you are doing it.
There are all kinds of variables that affect fuel mileage. Is it possible to get great fuel mileage with a Powerboost? Absolutely, under optimal conditions. I have a 2022 157” FX4 XLT. I just put 26.85 gallons in today with 734 miles on the trip odometer since last fill up. That works out to...
One of the things that I really like about my F150 is how incredibly quiet it is. The Maverick is not as quiet, but it is relatively close, at a shockingly lower price point.
I think that I need to be schooled on Ceramic Paint Coating. A friend just told me that he dropped $1800.00 having his truck detailed & Ceramic Coated. He was telling me what a great value that it.
Is this a process that I should consider? What is the benefit? Is it too late to do it to a...
My wife saw & liked my Powerboost when I got it, & heard me talking about the improved fuel mileage. That got her thinking about getting a hybrid herself. She then became aware of the Maverick & said she thought it would be a cute "chick" truck for her. While she does have a newer Jeep...
We really are getting better than 40mpg, with all driving combined. At least half of our driving is in 35 - 55mph speed zones. Lots of low speeds & stop & go, which is the best mileage spectrum for the Maverick. With that said, the 1 trip that my wife drove on the interstate at 70-80mph, she...
Well.........................................I waited more than twice as long, from order to delivery, for my Powerboost, than I did for my Maverick. I put a new order in for the Maverick at 5:30am on 9/16/22 & took delivery on 1/26/23.
We are lucky enough to own a 22 Powerboost & a 23 Maverick. While they are both Ford Hybrid Trucks, there are big differences between them. Each has advantages & disadvantages over the other.
My Powerboost is a 157” FX4 & has been great so far. It has averaged about 27mpg over the 6 months...
I have 11k miles on my 22 XLT 157" 4X4 PB & picked it up mid July 2022. It has averaged slightly more than 25mpg (hand calculated) overall since I got it & normally displays 750+ miles to empty at fill up. My best tank averaged 29.2mpg over 700 miles between fill ups. Some tanks I only get...
You are much like me, when I got my Powerboost. I am an analytical & wanted to understand how everything worked in this incredibly complex machine. Now 7 months & 11k miles later, I still learn more about it every day. There is a lot to learn, & much of it has to be learned experientially, or...
Yep. You are right. I am at 27.7mpg on about 50 miles today & that is by far the best I have seen in a while. It was also 60 here today & it hasn’t been warm like that in a long time.
