TD, I agree with Don, but I'll go a step further and say I've seen no evidents of engine braking except for regen. When you let off the gas pedal, there is a...
TD, the FEH/MMH is a spaceship compared to the vehicle their talking about in your link. You have a remarkable vehicle that cost Ford more to build than you...
Hello all ye Hybrid owners. Yes I still have mine, decided it was too good a driver in our weather to trade it in. I have studs on it right now and make a...
www.kbb.com will give you the "bluebook" price. I would suggest a run into Portland or towards San Fra because you might get a better price in an urban area....
... no ... gas ... ICE ... Gary, Please explain. This makes no sense to me. Holding constant the ratio of engine speed to vehicle speed as expressed in engine...
Cohybrid, normally you don't get a run-up of the ICE in "D", because regen is much lighter. Both "L" and "D" will produce regen without the brake pedal being...
All, Just a quick note to let you know I posted pics of the 2008 FEH and MMH on display at the DC auto show. There is also the concept e85 FEH...although it is...
Hey, I posted a couple of replies over at GH regarding the 2008 FEH getting slightly better gas mileage according to Ford. I believe the word from them is the...
... I can't say 100% for sure, but I can say I think I have. On a long, steep decent of the Colorado Rockies recently, I was driving in D with my foot on the...
... John, I have had the engine rev in DRIVE before plenty of times. It happens quite often as I get off I-395 at work. It is a downhill ramp...usually the ICE...
The ICE via Generator will never charge the battery beyond about 55%. It always purposely leaves room for regererative braking. Driving steady, or even...

TD, if you leave the FEH in "D" or "L" going down a long decline, you will get some regen from the wheels even after the battery is full. This causes the small...
Thanks Chris, I'd like 23,000 for it, thats dealer trade in price but they don't think so. I guess ebay is my last resort but their fees have gone up and you...
In my descents of 7000 feet from trips to the western side of the continental divide, I use D most of the time, and L only for the very steepest parts. Regen...

... I think its fine to leave the car in L or D... I just question putting it in "N" for a long downhill where now you've got nothing but standard disc brakes...
I'm 99% sure that you do not have the anti-lock brake feature when in N. Probably a main reason for the disclaimer in the manual. Also, Most ( if not all ) N...
... TD, Cohybrid's original post was about getting 25mpg creeping slowly down an elevation. The owner manual is specific and your taking things out of context....
Okay... I mis-spoke earlier... My mistake. ABS works in Neutral, key on, at 15MPH on an icy cul-de-sac. ( as fast as I could go ) ABS does not work ( as you...
Ok this is flat out weird....... I have an 05 FEH (early build with Nav). As we all know the 05s had no working PATS system and no oil change reminder...... I...
Chris... I would for sure like to talk more at a later time! PATS is probably NOT working, but it is cool that the lamp does. I've been looking for a "hack"...
Well it's been running in the single digits here and the 07' FEH doesn't want to play EV. So I blocked about 30% of the radiator with cardboard. It made an...
Yes! In below freezing, there is little chance of any overheat with even 90-100% of the front end blocked. The only exceptions would be if you are running...
I have a 2006 FEH with the navigation system. I hate it. The screen is tiny and all of the maps are so out of date. I want to replace it with a touchscreen...
