just drove mine 1200 miles this last week and averaged 38.2 mpg, cruise was set at 73 mph.

Thank for the video. This was perfect, because I just ordered my XL hybrid and drive regularly from Chandler to Tucson. This confirms for me that the hybrid was the right power train option.

This was an oddly specific video for you then!!

Next time drive the speed limit and report the mpg. I'm retired and don't speed anymore. Just curious how much better mpg it would be. Thanks

As someone who has the 2018 Ford fusion Hybrid Really look forward to upgrading to this one day. Really nice video.

How's your experience with the Fusion.. any major issues?

@Xratos1991 2 ай бұрын

@@robinmathews9695 none at all. I daily this quite a bit and it’s a very reliable vehicle. Just regular maintenance.

I have a friend with the Lincoln version of the Fusion Hybrid and it's been super reliable + another friend had a Fusion Hybrid for years and loved it.

Burn premium gas in this hybrid. Engine runs smoother. Mileage increases by 5 mpg. My avg is 4mpg. My record is 101 mpg on a short city trip. Really. Easy to get 50 mpg on the freeway in Eco if you follow the eco coach gauge. Great power train.

Awesome video! Thanks for adding the part about the AC. I am looking to get a Mav Hybrid but I live in the south east and am worried about the AC struggling to beat out the humidity and heat.

I live in Southern, Arkansas, Where we have already gotten up to the lower 90s and this air conditioning is fantastic! You won’t regret buying a Ford maverick hybrid pick up truck. I have the XLT with the luxury package 2023.

I have a lariat also, but the seats are kind of warm because I dont think they breathe verry well. Love the truck though

The sweet spot on hybrids is 72mph (I've owned 2 Prius and now a Maverick Hybrid)...speed up to 73 and let off the gas to drop to 72 and set the cruise 😎👊

You could probably get better milage on the highway if you put a cover on the cargo bay at the back, so the folding trunk door doesn't cause wind resistance.

Probably true! I think that was a Mythbusters episode

My Maverick hybrid average is 34.9 mpg in 25000 driving 75% city and 25 on fwy

@gabrielcritton1647 Ай бұрын

39.2 in 15k so far. Best daily IMO

So easy to get epic mileage

@robinmathews9695 2 ай бұрын

My new Maverick hybrid has about 1700 miles. It has steering vibration after 60 mph. At 80 mph its very noticeable. The dealer did a force road balance and it seems smoother at lower speeds but more vibration at 80 miles.. How smooth is your driving at 80 mph. Thanks!

@brendandrives 2 ай бұрын

I don't feel any vibration at 80, sounds like something is off. Are your wheels perfectly balanced? Maybe a bad tire?
