Long-term test cars

After logging nearly 2,000 miles on the Jeep, our editors have some early thoughts. We also have some early fuel economy and charging data.

Here’s what it’s like for one of our editors to live with our long-term Tesla Model Y EV without home charging, plus some recommendations and considerations for shoppers in a similar position.

We bought a 2023 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe after we gave it our Best SUV of 2023 award for its diverse offerings of luxuriousness, family-friendliness, powertrain options and capability.

Our staff racked up nearly 16,000 miles on the 2022 Maverick hybrid’s odometer in the year we owned it, and our ownership experience was mostly issue-free.

Knowing what we do after two years of ownership, would we buy the 2021 Ford F-150 again?

After weighing whether to spend $386.73 to repair the active air dam, we decided instead to remove it entirely, which is a common solution other F-150 owners have taken.

We put some serious numbers on the odometer of our long-term 2022 Ford Maverick in service of a story with the most inane of premises: visiting Masterson, Texas.

While our Tesla Model Y’s range certainly dropped in colder temperatures, it didn’t fall off a cliff; more like it tumbled down a berm.

The Maverick hybrid has unladen ride quality that’s a bit bumpy, but putting some additional weight over the rear wheels with the attached trailer — along with some supplies in the cargo box — helped make for a smoother, more comfortable ride.

Since our last Maverick update, we’ve added nearly 6,000 miles to the Maverick’s odometer resulting in calculated fuel economy of 35.8 mpg.
