- Americans love trucks, and Americans love crossovers, so why not mash them together and sprinkle a 42 MPG hybrid system on top? That was clearly Ford's logic when designing the Maverick. Unlike other combinations that sound good initially but ultimately turn out to be sour, this combo is epic. The cabin is more than roomy enough for a family of four plus the occasional middle seat passenger, while the bed will haul more than most full-size SUVs. Need to carry plywood? Don't let the 4.5 foot bed deter you, the Maverick hauls like a champ with over 1500 pounds of payload and thoughtful tie-down locations for bulkier loads. Tying everything together is a standard hybrid system that gets you 42 MPG around town and 37 MPG combined. As I said: epic.

This is the best introduction to a new presenter I've seen
I totally 💯 agree with you. He went in very confidently.
Welcome, Brian! Knowing what Alex’s car reviews are like I can imagine what the interview and hiring process is like.
That was my first thought too
Assuming the build quality is good enough to last for 200k+ miles, these things are also going to be a killer value on the used market in a few years.
It's Ford. You will be lucky of it lasts 200 miles. Remember the Bronco Sport is just an Escape with a boxy body and it has had SIX recalls already. It's the exact same vehicle.
@@sho942000 your last sentence betrays you as having zero credibility.
Btw, I had a 2010 Focus and it was a fantastic little car. Also, the F-150 has been the best selling vehicle for the past 30-years, so it would seem that a whole lot of people think they're plenty reliable.
I can’t wait to see how they hold up.
@@sho942000 typical hater! Ford has the best selling truck in the world and best selling vehicle in the USA. I had a 1991 Ranger that now has over 500k with the second owner and still going.
Ford is right about their target market. I was considering Subaru Forester, CRV, CX5, RAV4 to purchase later this year until I saw the maverick. If they add the awd to the hybrid it is a no brainer that I will be going with the maverick.
This was an absolute home run by Ford. Great product
Welcome Brian, great review up to the standards of the channel! I think the Maverick could be one of the best new cars in a long time an interesting alternative to a compact sedan or sub-compact/compact CUV based on price-point.
Okay, I was skeptical of Brian at first because I love Alex and he's the only car reviewer I follow, but he quickly won me over with "shoot the hooch." Welcome!
Mine I got 2 weeks ago, alto blue, xlt, hybrid. I have 355 miles on mine, still have a half tank, but the trip say's I am averaging 45mpg. Gas is 4.29 right now, so.. I am pretty happy with it.
It's the simplest things like the tailgate tricks that I appreciate.
This feels like Alex guided Brian through this video, in a good way. Good job Brain
Bit stilted and uncomfortable but that'll improve with time.
@@Oosh21 Exactly. He spoke very smoothly and naturally, but his body and hand movements were sometimes distracting. Still, he had sensible and articulate comments, and that's the most important part.
You are the only reviewer that ive seen put the cable for the tailgate in both semi raised positions. Using it to wrap around the latch for the higher position is new to me. Thank you Alex
Cars today are so expensive (not even accounting for the market conditions), so it is nice to see these go for a relatively affordable price. The next task would be if you can actually buy one without much fuss.
Wait 2 years and they’ll be no problem getting one. It’s quite normal for the new hot product to be in very short supply for its first year or so. And that’s in “normal” times.
@@ATH_Berkshire Based upon past experiences with FORD, THESE will be $18,500 base with a $2000.00 rebate (wait for it:) after 13 months:)
Real attraction for me is the combination of vehicle size, price & hybrid.
I kind of like this 2 presenter format, playful and smooth. It's pretty nice to get the info between the interaction.
I've been driving trucks for 35 years and have always been bothered by the race for biggest/fastest. Am happy that economical has finally arrived. Looking forward to a reasonably priced AWD hybrid Maverick.
It's so frustrating to see these cool new trucks and cars, but they're all sold out and or marked up way over MSRP.
I went to a dealership in rural GA to order mine (10/15), MSRP + $100 deposit. When you can order one do some shopping around. If it's on a dealer's lot it's supply and demand = mark ups
Just dont pay over MSRP. Ford will obviously see the popularity of the truck and ramp up production because the are in the business of building vehicles to make money. Once they are pumping out mass numbers of these you shouldnt have a problem getting one. Also Ford gets the same profit reguardless. Dealers are the ones scaming people by trying to tack on extra fees. Just find a decent dealer and tell them up front when you order that you will not pay over MSRP and have them sign a priced invoice when placing the order for the vehicle. Dealers will have to comply because they need to sell a certain volume of vehicles to get more allocation from Ford. If they are marking up prices and not selling inventory fast enough, that product allocation goes top other dealers that are getting vehicles to customers and out on the road.
People seem to have fomo (fear of missing out) these days when in reality, buying a brand new vehicle is absolutely not necessary. Dont base your money spending decisions based on other peoples bad choices. If you want one, you can get one at MSRP but you might have to be patient. Last thing we need is a snowball effect of people overpaying for things they dont need to the point that the prices get so out of control that its not financially feasable to be able to make a purchase when you want to.
@@dracer35 I visited a Ford dealer here in Atlanta to look at a Maverick. There was 4K of add ons. Called several dealers in the metro area and all had either a "market adjustment or add ons of 4/5K. Found a dealer in rural GA, MSRP + $100 deposit. Got a signed invoice of out the door price.
@@stevethomas760 Congrats! Sounds like you did the right thing for you and it worked out. I'm still looking but I'll most likely wait until Ford opens up ordering for the 2023 model year. I don't really need the truck since I already have multiple vehicles. The Maverick will take the place of my current gas getter car and my full size truck I use to haul my dirt bikes.
@@dracer35 I think you can't go wrong with looking at a '23. It will give Ford time to work out some bugs and do some tweaks for the '23. I own a '20 F150 short bed/reg cab. A good truck but more than I need every day. Hope it works out for you
I absolutely love my Maverick XLT 4k FWD Alto Blue! Got it for MSRP and never looked back. Needed the AWD for Michigan winters and the 4k tow package for a small camper in the future. Ford knocked this truck out of the park. At this point, just hoping it it stays reliable for years to come.
small is right. what are you towing, a micro teardrop?
How heavy is the camper?
My dream Maverick: (1) Get rid of the second row, extending bed to 6'5". (2) Give an option of a split bench up front.
So basically, A Early Model Ford Ranger Standard Cab Long Bed. Heck, those were even cheaper and had a 3.0 V6. I owned a 1998.
In other words a standard two-door pickup. They only sell in modest numbers to fleet buyers, so profit margins are slim. Even fleet buyers tend to buy four-doors now. If they make a truck configured as you want it will almost certainly be a Ranger, as messing with a unibody vehicle is much more complicated.
I would be happier with a smaller back seat and longer bed to give a little more room for hauling dirtbikes while still having room in the back seat for my riding gear all while having that nice fuel economy of the hybrid.
Saw my first one in person this week and I was surprised how much I liked the look of it and the size was bigger than I expected.
Great job guys, enjoyed watching you two tackle this one.
I've been wanting a Maverick since it was revealed. The Maverick is the only new vehicle I am interested. Though, I am bummed that AWD isn't even an option in the hybrid models. I would like to see if Ford makes the Maverick a PHEV. That would make me want one even more.
And no 60/40 rear seats...
Cooled seat and front bench seat.
Ya, it was a massive fail that they didn't make a HYBRID AWD as well as a 6-FOOT BED option (still 4-door).
THAT is the truck I want... Instead I'm STILL being forced to buy an expensive gas-guzzling Mid-Size.
@@leeuniverse It's more complicated changing bed length on a unibody truck. If it continues to be a hit they may do it, but it will be expensive. Offering AWD in the hybrid is easy in comparison.
Not sure there's enough space underneath for the much bigger battery a PHEV would need.
I actually ordered my XLT Hybrid Maverick in Velocity Blue August 15th.. great colour.. about $28,000 with all my options added.. Great review!
You always deliver great content! Thanks and yes, it's on my shopping list.
Great video as always. I'm still a couple years off from needing a new car, but unless something truly incredible comes along, I'm getting a Maverick. Here's to hoping there an AWD hybrid by then
I absolutely love this truck, but I'm waiting for the first year bug's to work out. This will replace my pos outback. Great report thanks Alex!
Great job Brian! Please don't forget to comment on the materials - like if the door cards are soft touch or not. A lot of the interior commentary summarized things we could see on the video (like colors). I would recommend the voice track highlighting things that cannot be seen on video (like the feel of the materials) a bit more. Looking forward more from Brian.
I think ford has done well with the maverick. This would be a good choice for many people
You two guys make a good team! I love the Maverick. The only thing that would make it better is if it were as small as my 1997 Toyota Tacoma, which I continue to drive.
@4.11 minute mark... I have watched nearly every maverick video on youtube and this is the first time I have seen this tailgate position! That's awesome!
While I wait for my Maverick to arrive, I’ve tuned into several Maverick FB groups and specifically the hybrid ones. I’ve seen multiple Prius owners moving on to getting a Maverick Hybrid. It’s another super practical and economical choice for the eco minded.
Welcome Brian! You have the best mentor in the business. I watch Alex often. The Maverick will be the model T of our age.
nice video. weird seeing someone else but it doesn’t feel out of place. like it, keep up
I sold our 2012 Honda Pilot to our local Honda dealer because of the great market in used cars currently. We haven't settled on a replacement for it yet. We own a 2018 CRV and its a keeper. We have looked at new Pilots, Ridgelines and have been waiting for the new 2022 Passport to hit our dealers lot. I started looking at the Maverick when my 27 year old son said he wanted to order one. A nicely equipped XLT 2.0T AWD model tows almost as much as a Ridgeline, has the same or better payload and could be as much as $20,000 cheaper. I only wish they could catch up to the demand and we could take one for a test drive. Love your videos.
Great review gentlemen; the Maveric is awesome. You're one of my favourite UA-cam channels.
Another great review. Brian, you mentioned two things close to my heart. Hooch and paddleboarding. If you've never done the upper Hooch it's worth a look . More whitewater but nothing crazy, class 2. (Wildwood Outfitters)
@@brianroskelly2177 Inflatables are reasonably priced ($250+) , rolls up 12" X 33". Hope I see you on the Hooch when it warms up. Good job on the video!
I started looking at the XLT Hybrid version and most of the dealer sites also include a $3,000 upcharge. With the whole idea being to try to save some money I will just wait until these upcharges go away down the road. Still not too many of these found on the road locally. I am lucky if I see 1 or 2 a week. Hopefully a year from now production will increase and an awd hybrid will start to be talked about.
Great video as usual Alex, welcome Brian! Our ford dealer randomly had a maverick available for test drive (cancelled order) and after driving and seeing I’m person I’m even more excited to own one, and I nearly bought the truck on the spot.
Alas, I need the AWD Hybrid. But as I pay off my current Rav 4 hybrid I’ll wait patiently.
Maverick had lots of room inside, solid feel, the one I drove was XLT FX4 with 4k tow package. It was awesome, and the tow package included 4 pin and 7 pin connectors flush mounted to bumper next to the hitch.
Drive wise the only thing that was weird was rolling off a stop, it kind of bogs down going into 2nd then lurches out of 2nd. The ten speed auto transmission is weird.
Hey Alex, I just realized you live in the SC Mountains! I grew up off Highway 9 on the Santa Cruz side and watching these videos sure looks familiar and takes me back! Love your reviews, the most detailed out there, and I can really nerd out watching 'em. Keep on Keepin' on...
Welcome Brian great video as always Alex keep up the great work
Go Brian!
You have big shoes to fill buddy.
Looking forward to seeing you with your own quirky style. Just be you. Dont hide anything... dont put on a face. just be your self.
Alex is Alex because he doesn't hide his nerdiness
I did not expect a Shoot the Hooch reference in this video. Greetings from ATL!
Today Ford announced they will stop taking Maverick orders until "2023" what ever that means. Another case of an excellent car now the equivalent of unobtainium. I wonder how the short supplies for the Mav will affect production of the Bronco & Escape PHEV (which is on my short list for my next car).
What it means is they have as many orders, right now, as they are capable of building in the current model year. They are effectively sold out.
I think you have until Thursday to get a 2022 Ecoboost. They stopped taking hybrid orders in November.
I tried to order 2 hybrid lariats last month. Ford quit taking orders. Had to get a lariat trim to get adaptive cruise. Hopefully that will change. I would order a raw base if it had acc. It is bigger than it looks. The backseat leg and foot access getting in is small.
Adaptive cruise is for followers, me, I'm a leader...
Just in time since All Sales on All Models and this Thursday the 27th of January. It was just announced this morning. No more Orders on the 2022 models till June 2022 and that will be for the 2023 models . You got yours in just in time. 😎👍👍
@@Sanctified_EDC_Gear I didn't get to order I got shut out
I am hoping Brian is a great addition to one of my favorite auto detailed reviewers. This is granted from 6 months ago I am seeing this. I have a ton a respect for Alex. I trust him from his years of great work, and one of the most pleasant reviewers there is. My other favorite hails further North of Alex and I watch him very much too.
Absolutely love the idea of BOTH of you doing a review on a car instead of just Alex or just Brian doing reviews
Great review 👍
Yes, AWD hybrid
Thanks, another great review Alex, I comparing the Maverick vs. Ridgeline & Ranger still shopping... Unfortunately I can't get into one of for a test drive!? thing I need is a good AWD Denver, CO commuter truck with payload for work tools🤔
Welcome Brian!!! Looking forward to the fresh perspectives.
Great overview. Glad AonA is hiring great team members.
And a cute one at that!
Brian killed it! Nice job!
I have my lariat hybrid and I like it but it WILL NOT get 42 mpg in the city! 35.5 is what mine is getting and that’s great. Best mileage l have ever gotten with more than two wheels!
"...but am I really that nice? I don't know."
I lol'd
I'd like to see an AWD option for the hybrid. I also wanted to see the excellent AWD system of the Bronco Sport Badlands. I was really hoping that would be part of the FX4 package. Maybe they are saving that for a future Maverick Tremor package.
Ordered an XLT hybrid in November, maaaaybe gets here by late spring. We would be retiring a 2004 Pilot, and cross-shopping similar larger SUVs or even wagons like an Outback. Just can't beat how practical it is for outdoor activities (MTB/snowsports/camping), gardening stuff, and the odd home improvement project. Just slap some steel wheels with studded tires on for snow season and you'll be fine. It's heavy enough on the front end, I don't think you'll miss most AWD systems when it gets slick.
Ordered my XLT hybrid 10/15, hope your optimism about delivery is correct. My gut says summer
Great video! I bought the Santa Cruz. I think Both are nice small trucks… I drove both and the Cruz is way more comfortable and is truck enough for me. Self driving is next level which sold me!
I like the new guy 👍🏼
Some people prefer the classic truck look ... as well as saving 10-grand.
@@michaelmelling9333 I understand the looks but there is not a 10K Dif in price. More like $3-3500 with less content in the Ford. That is a fact.
Great video. Nice chemistry with new guy.
Wish the hybrid had awd for winter driving. It would be a perfect cost sensitive vehicule.
Idk, I guess it depends on where you live. Utah has some pretty severe Winters, and fwd w/all seasons will do the job here with minimal issues.
@@KB-bh9hp yes front wheel drive does the job but having all wheel drive does make quite a difference in the quality of life during the snowy months of the year. It's a more refined and comfortable way of spending winter and dealing with snow and slippery roads
Also I'm not saying they should all be awd but offer it as an option so that people like me who live in areas where awd is useful can have the choice of a fuel efficient utility vehicule with awd instead of the 2l turbo awd that is basicaly the same as most other suvs
Hi Alex. I live in Campbell, CA and started watching your channel last year. I really enjoy your thorough, no BS reviews. I just bought a Maverick Hybrid myself and love it. One question, what octane did you use while testing the Maverick? The manual says 87, but for better performance it recommends 91.
87 for Hybrid and 91 for EcoBoost, although if you have the EcoBoost and want to go less expensive, 89 is do-able but you will get less power
I waited a year, but got it at MSRP. It's a Lariat in blue, and it was worth the wait! 37.1 MPG so far.
New Alex seems great too
Nicely done, guys!
Welcome Brian - love that you’re a fellow ATLien!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, why are most trucks 4 doors? Two doors with with some lockable storage behind the seats would be a nice option. Every where you see all these 4 door trucks with one or two people in them, no one in the back seat. I could use a Maverick if it would hold items (yes sheets of construction material, 2 x 4 x 8 studs, etc) enclosed within the bed and then put a shell over the bed. This Maverick is indeed a crossover without an enclosed cargo space.
But, nice review guys. 👍
Maverick Hybrid functionality, design, and style is innovative and outstanding! Alex, I am sure you regret not custom-ordering your own. I ordered my XLT Hybrid in October, and I think I will be happy with this vehicle until the BEV Maverick is offered with a solar hood and roof. Hybrid Maverick order stampede is coming this August.
Solar hoods and roofs are more of a gimmick than anything useful. They barely do anything to charge a battery, even parked in a sunny place.
@@markmiller3279 I think Elon said something similar so this is what many believe, but even if it only provides the equivalent of one or two thousand miles from the sun per year, this is a "gimmick" that many consumers will gladly pay extra for, especially on a truck or van... would be especially useful/peace of mind for off grid adventures or when grid is down.
Great Co video! And I am looking at the maverick as both a vaule option for the Lighting and an alternitive for a CUV. Which the info tement system seems be a Sync 4 lite as aposed to a Sync 3... As my 2020 mustang sync 3 does not look like that at all even with updates.
They just show the infotainment on Apple CarPlay, not the sync 3 side at all. Could be why it looks so different to you.
Have you updated SYNC 3 to 3.4 with a USB? My 2019 Fusion had the old style (drab grey and rudimentary looking) to much more modern looking when I updated it. In the video, it was just Apple CarPlay on screen but I'm assuming they use at least 3.4 on this new model.
Looks like a great little truck
Thanks for posting I presently own $150 Ford no longer need big gas guzzling truck just need something to haul bicycles kayaks home Depot perfect for me fuel mileage is fantastic now if I can ever get it
I have a 2019 Colorado Z71 4WD crew cab that has been a great truck but I could easily live with a Maverick for the way I use a truck which is to haul random crap every once in a while, as a commuter and for infrequent two-track light off-roading. There are only two things that I would want on the Maverick that are not available now: 1) hybrid AWD/4WD availability and 2) SiriusXM availability on the XL and XLT trim levels. SiriusXM is available on the Lariat trim but I don't want anything more than an XLT.

If they were to put in the same (or similar) PHEV system as the escape has, this could likely be my next vehicle.
It’s amazing how Ford is hitting it out of the park with a lot of their new offerings. Hopefully it is close to being as reliable as a RAV4 Hybrid. Also, excellent review with Brian!
This powertrain is known for lasting 500k or more in taxis. That's 500k on intense fleet abuse, unless something massive went wrong with this trucks engineering and development process, it should be pretty rock solid.
@@KB-bh9hp are you referring to the C-Max and Fusion taxis? That’s a good point. Comparing hybrids, those had the Duratec 20 and this has the Duratec 25, but they probably have similar reliability. And the eCVT is almost identical to Toyota’s, unless they changed something recently.
@@garrettw99 No, those are reliable as well, but I'm talking about the escape taxi's. The ones that used this powertrain, while there have been some engineering updates, from my understanding, in it's most basic form, the powertrain in the maverick dates all the way back to like the '08 escapes.
@@KB-bh9hp oh yeah, I forgot about those. The Escape 2.5 hybrid powertrain was used starting in 2009 while 2008 still had the 2.3 hybrid.
@@KB-bh9hp Indeed. Here in San Francisco I see a lot of Escape hybrid cabs, even older ones, while other cars/crossovers they tried out are often gone. Cab companies don't keep unreliable vehicles or ones that are complicated and expensive to repair.
Alex creates a job in this market.
Man I can’t wait to get one of these sometime soon!
I have a new hybrid that I will sell to you now. Don't want to pay another insurance premium.
This is my favorite channel for car videos.
Another nice review, unfortunately because I live in North Central Wisconsin I won't seriously consider the hybrid until they offer awd.
Order the AWD eco in time by tomorrow you will not regret it. Hwy mpg not much different than hybrid even with way more passing power and capability. I got AWD 360 4k lux for $30,710 msrp. That is 1/2 the cost of a full size.
Would love to get this, but in Hawaii, the dealer markups (and forced addons) are pretty high. Found an XL for 30K!
This thing has already done so well just on pre-orders. Assuming that demand stays consistent, look for GM, Ram, and Toyota competitors in the coming years.
Really hope toyota jumps on this but based off of what I have read they wont be making a competitor to the maverick since it would cannibalize tacoma sales
New to the channel good job
Alex, Some day I hope you can afford a sheet of 'test' plywood to keep on hand at Alex on Autos World Headquarters. Brian, welcome again to Team A on A, which model of Durango did you order?😉
Surprising title. My main problem with the maverick is the front end look and the bubbly rounded edges from certain angles
Just wondering if they will add AWD for the 2023 model year Hybrid version?
You could fit inner tubes in any vehicle if you deflate them.
0:35 welcome Brian! Just so you know, one of the best ways to carry your wallet and phone is cargo pants.
It would be cool if the Maverick adds an AWD PHEV with a larger motor and a 16+ kWh battery.
I’m not even interested in trucks but came here to listen to Alex’s calming voice.
"But am I really that nice? I don't know..." 😂
Your property is looking really good 👍
Ford literally just stopped taking orders due to overwhelming demand.
Ordered mine two months ago. Best they can tell me is 3 more months to wait.
Hybrid order cutoff 11/15/2021
Ecoboost order cutoff 1/27/2022
Great video! Thank you!! This is perfect for the city/suburban dwellers or empty nesters or even the soccer parents with a lot of sports equipment. This is not an off road, cattle herding, mountain climbing vehicle, it was never meant to be! Stick to the base model, skip all the add on *luxury* options nobody really uses, and you have an affordable useful runabout for everyday driving!!
Regarding hybrid and AWD, I think Ford struck a good balance. Remember Ford was always trying to hit a price point and AWD was always going to add $1000-2000 to the base price. And the Turbo motor does deliver for the "I need to tow" crowd, where the hybrid just never would. Given the arbitrary limitation of offering only 2 engine options in such a low-end model, a FWD hybrid and AWD Turbo is a good compromise, especially since the FWD hybrid is hugely efficient AND delivers quite good payload numbers. It really only suffers when it comes to towing and if one lives in the harshest latitudes of the snow belt.
I think ford could do an awd hybrid by adding an electric motors to the rear axle like Toyota does with their awd hybrids.
I think once the initial rush calms down Ford will expand the range. My guess is a hybrid AWD, an ultra cheap 1.5 3 cylinder and a V6 AWD hot truck.
@@ATH_Berkshire a v6 awd will unfortunately never happen, they might use the 2.3l turbo engine from the ford ranger and that’s it. Or the same 2.3l with hybrid and a second electric motor at the rear axle.
I think if they offered awd in the hybrid with a towing capacity of 3,000lbs and the ecoboost with closer to 5,000 it would be a real game changer.
I'm actually considering the Maverick alongside the hatchback version of the Corolla, Civic, or Mazda3...
Now if only you could buy one. A few around here are 38k for the *base* model.
I have a new hybrid that I will sell to you for a lot less. Don't want to pay another insurance premium.
The SC not including a factory brake controller to tow 5k is not very safe.
Another difference is the bed is composite vs Mav steel.
And when the SC included tonneau is open, there is only about 3 feet of bed space left.
If ford made a hybrid maverick awd would be a great option. A plug in hybrid with awd would be dreamy.
Great job Brian! Follow a proven Alex n Autos format and like the extra perspective. Shoot the Hooch:)
3:17 learned a lot about living and a little bout love 🤠
if I am going to buy 4 x 8 plywood I’m going to have the seller cut it down in at least one dimension, if not both before loading just to make handling it easier in my small shop. I would be more inclined to use it for moving furniture, picking up mulch and plants, and going to the dump. My Outback has worked well on those fronts so far (and my 2004 Honda Pilot before that) but at the risk of unwelcome smells or bugs invading the cabin area. That’s what makes the Maverick such a viable and valuable alternative, especially for the price. Not having Sirius/XM radio available on the lower trims is just dumb (I must have my tunes), but I am torn on the lack of AWD in the hybrid model. I don’t go off-road but we do get snow so that would be a concern. I wonder if having a second set of more aggressive tires on hand would compensate.
A good set of winter tires should do a world of difference
I think you can run Sirius thru you phone and have it played on the speaker. Not as convenient I guess but usually not messing with the phone while driving.
As rabid as many folks are for AWD, it's kinda surprising they didn't just offer it w/hybrid from the start.
I think that Ford was going all in on pricing and mpg. AWD will freshen the market down the road
No power passenger seat on the lariat lux package or even the first edition model?
Will the back seat fold flat with the passenger seat moved up?
My 2022 Lariat Hybrid is better than what I expected. In six months I have put 13,000 miles on it and mostly highway miles. I live 123 miles round trip from where I work and my average MPG is 47-55 MPG on the highway, sometimes I have gotten 57 MPG. NO ROOM TO COMPLAIN. I am very happy owner..
