Who is balancing the MPG of the Bronco with another good MPG vehicle?

I have a tdi that gets 45 but I haven’t driven it since taking delivery of my Bronco. Just fun to drive, I love it!

You must really enjoy being on waiting lists. The Hybrid Maverick is overbooked due to the shortage of batteries needed to build all the current orders at this time.
I like to hurt.

Is that your maverick sticker or just showing off the MPG? That VIN seems crazy early. Thinking it’s a pre-production or something.

Also, good to see how many units are in rotation at MAP. It was in the 800s during my build week. Almost tripled in a little over a month.

That is NOT my window sticker....my maverick is an XLT, same motor/trans/drive. Build date of Nov 1, and VIN has been provided to me, but not yet the window sticker. That is a hybrid WS from the Maverick forum today.

0 miles traveled is 0 mpg but 0 gallons burned is infinite mpg. Interesting…

I have an XLT maverick build date 11/1......a Lightning F150....who knows when.....and my Bronco was BUILT 10-18! so the stars are finally aligning!
My Maverick is getting built the week of Thanksgiving. I don’t know about the Bronco or Mach E.

I ordered a hybrid on day 1 as well....I did receive an email from ford weeks ago with my VIN number and build date of 11/1. Hoping they stick to it, or close to it...my gal, works on the HYBRID transmission eCVT line for ford and they have been building quite a few transmissions weekly....so it will eventually burst and produce hybrids!

I drive less than 10,000 miles a year. Do you think I really care about MPG or the cost of gas. When gas hits $5 a gallon there is less traffic.

We picked up a 2021 Ecoboost Mustang as a hold over vehicle. it gets 28 mpg on long highway trips with the cruse set at 80 and is just so nice for that type of long trip.

We're thinking of keeping it for the MPG, fun, and convenience. Keeping it just for the MPG does not make economic sense.

Payments or opportunity costs (What else can you do with the cash from selling an extra vehicle?) aside it does not make economic sense to have an extra vehicle for gas mileage purposes only unless you drive a whole lot. The difference in gas costs just does not outweigh the cost of registration, insurance, maintenance, etc. on the second car.
Plus it’s slow as hell

Balancing it against my V10 and it looks pretty good.
Same here, Averaging about 12-15 Highway in my F150 Eco right now, Bronco will be an economical vehicle
