How do you like the 2.3? How’s the fuel economy?
Power is great, really have no use for more.
Fuel economy is about as advertised. It was running a hair over 18mpg on the counter before we drove it out to Lincoln over the weekend. A little city driving plus running 80mph on I80 beat it down to 17.1
AFAIK the mpg counter deal has never been reset though. Haven't manually figured it and in remote start season it isn't going to be super scientific anyway.
DoH! I forgot you were the op! I didn’t understand ford ESS completely when I first got mine either. Is your motor truly not running by the time you step on the gas? You should take it back to the dealer to find the issue if that is the case as you should never be ready to pull into traffic and the motor be off.
Yeah, I know how it is supposed to work and it works like it is supposed to.
And I will probably never get used to it because I hardly drive it.
For the most part it is kind of a joke at best for us, I have two stop signs on my daily commute, she has one. Generally it shuts off right before I can go so it is a nice wasted effort at best. We had it in Omaha and yeah, usually it shuts off just so it can start up again 5sec later.
I have been trying to give it a chance and so far have found few redeeming qualities for the ESS.
Anyway, better picture of the hitch:

Had a cruise night saturday night for our car club so we drove both for the fun of it.
And I finished getting the ditch lights installed last night:
