I wish the mode selector was like knob just like the shifter, easier to twist to the mode I want than pressing a button. Other than that I mostly use normal and sport.
I'm very happy with my non-hybrid 22' Maverick with AWD. I would prefer if the AWD would activate the rear drive more often in Normal Mode. I frequently have to select Slippery to get the rear drive to kick in. Tow\Haul & Sport activate the rear drive too, but also rev the engine too much when braking. Possibly because i also have the 4k tow package
Still waiting for my xlt. December 2nd I ordered it. So 15 months waiting now. I've have a Vin for 2 months so far. (Again. I had a 2022 Vin before also)
@Goon Rides nice Mines built finally and sitting in Mexico (in transit) should be at the dealers March 28th. So I should be able to pick it up April 1st 😆
I recently watched a video where the guy showed that driving with Low (L) on has the best regenerative power. He claims that driving with Low will not harm the vehicle and will save brakes.
@@jmc6000 can you drive in the mode? And have you noticed any increase in MPG? I just ordered a 24 so trying to learn a lot about these and your videos have been great!
Still kinda confused on how the electric part of the motor works? Like when does it kick in? Lol i just assumed it kicked in at lower speeds but like i said idk how it works or when the electric part of the motor is being used to get better gas mileage
The electric part can drive the vehicle by itself up to certain speed, and then the gas engine kicks on to assist and work in conjunction with the electric motor as a boost to get to faster speeds.
Both of those replies are not accurate. That whole gauge, green & % is the motor/battery mode - green is recharging, % is that much of the elec system is being used for power needs. Above 10% the engine kicks in. As video shows under hard acceleration, or hill or towing, 100% of elec system is assisting engine. Or you could be at 70 mph on slight downhill so gravity help equals air resistance, and need less than 10% power so all elec system until the battery charge gets too low then engine on. Or engine on at start if heat needed for cabin. But elec used 1st otherwise, but not up to certain speed. Ford thought if using more than 10% power of elec system it would drain battery too quick.

I only use mine in eco mode. 47 mpg after 2800 miles 😉
It’s insane I wish it was awd since I’m Canadian

Totally agree with you there!!
sport mode for long highway trips may actually get you better gas mileage than eco mode. Of course eco mode around town is crazy good
Thanks for the video

Sub 8 seconds on sport mode, not too bad
Very helpful ty. Does Lo mode just lockout higher gears or is it more of a 1 pedal driving mode like chevy EVs?
It really is close to a one pedal driving mode

Ordered mine Nov 1 2021 got it 2 days ago

@Goon Rides I ordered the luxury package and sunroof on an xlt hybrid. Hope it's worth the wait. I haven't been holding my breath or anything though.

That is correct!
Does the XL save the same display and drive mode transitions as the other trims?
The XL uses a totally different display.
@@jmc6000 is this the XLT then in this video?
@dilanplattsfitness9333 no it is actually the Lariat
Have you ever press the L for low in the gear selector, what do you think it’s used for?
The L is primarily used to increase the regenerative braking and when the battery is full it will turn on the engine for engine braking
Why does it sound like a 4 speed automatic in towing and sport mode?
I thought it was a constant velocity transmission.
Ford inserts faux shifting into the programming in sport and tow/haul mode.
Is the moddest exhaust sound worth it?
Yes but I did more for looks than sound
I didn’t see a fuel saver test.
What about L mode on the shifter?
All the L mode does is increase the regenitive braking to max regen.
@@jmc6000 can you drive in the mode? And have you noticed any increase in MPG? I just ordered a 24 so trying to learn a lot about these and your videos have been great!
@BB_007 you can drive in that mode without issue but everytime your foot is off the gas you will be in max regrn all the time.
@@jmc6000 so it is for going down steep hills then?
@@tardisious yes

The gauge on left when it (needle) is in green you are in battery mode. Braking and coasting and not accelerating all will be in battery mode.
