What I have learned (from driving my Honda Hybrid), was the best way to get the truck to use the electric motor in town is to get the truck to speed relatively quickly (from a light for example). Then coast/or back off. This will kick in the electric motor and you can go quite a ways before...
Just put 5000 miles on my truck. Driving from Iowa (Thanks Granger) to Minnesota to Oklahoma, Denver, Montana and then to Seattle. Many flat and also hilly/ mountainous miles. Total average was 20.9mpg. Very happy with the overall mileage. Most of these speeds were @75mph. Could have gotten...
I wonder how that braking would change under snowy/slippery conditions...Fast stops can totally work against you. Maybe we will see stories this winter of how this works.
I am picking up my new truck next week from Granger. Very excited and they have been great to work with.
As my truck is a powerboost, I am thinking that I should get an extended warranty because of all of the expensive higher end equipment that could fail and be expensive to repair. I asked...
Haven't gotten to that part of my thinking yet. I may ship from Tacoma to Anchorage or drive the Alcan. I hear Canada is planning on opening the borders (at the moment anyway) to vaccinated travelers, so was hoping that (depending upon my decision), if I decide to do the Alcan that it wouldn't...
Tracker updated with truck delivery! Chip confirmed truck is at Granger. Ordered May 3, built June 23, Shipped and delivered July 19.
Now comes the logistics of getting from Alaska to Granger :unsure:
Plan is to arrive at Granger on Aug 7 and pick it up. Also doing a family vacation/trip...
So, My Ford tracker just updated with a new delivery date (Truck still sitting in KC). Delivery was supposed to be by July 12....now updated to between July 18- and July 24. Implies to me that they are trying to address the problem. I hope this time, their info is correct!
Mine was on the same build week as yours (built 6/24)....still haven't heard from Granger (And I a m not blaming Granger)...no rhyme or reason for some of this...
Those that are getting the calls from Granger about your trucks....When did you order your trucks? I haven't heard from Granger yet about my trucks delivery so was curious about when your trucks were ordered.
Just contacting Granger and getting info from Chip (whom I ordered my truck from). My truck was scheduled for Monday (7/12) so being patient until then and I'll follow up after that and see if there is new info.
