2023 Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid: Fuel Efficient Pickup!

The new 2023 Ford Maverick pickup truck slots just below the mid-size Ford Ranger, and has an advantage being also available as a full-hybrid – as well as a conventional gaspowered version. The Maverick is based on the same platform as the Ford Bronco Sport and Ford Escape and arrives as a four-door, five-passenger

The as tested Lariat is the top tier trim, adding standard equipment like 18-inch bright aluminum wheels, LED signature lighting, body-color door handles and mirror caps, and additional inbed cubby storage. The Lariat includes Intelligent Access with push-button start. This system uses a proximity key fob, which allows unlocking the doors by touching the handle.

crew cab, with a 4-foot-5 bed.

The Maverick’s hybrid powertrain is, combines a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine with a hybrid system that delivers a combined 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated to an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) and is strictly front-wheel drive. The optional engine choice is a ga engined turbocharged 2.0L “EcoBoost” fourcylinder making 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, with eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

The 2023 Ford Maverick has minor changes since it 2022 introduction This year’s version now sees the top-trim Lariat as a hybrid. Also for 2023 is the Tremor package ($3,400) that adds 4X4 capability, a special appearance package, trailering kit that’s up capacity to 4,000 lb, heated seats, synthetic leather trim, a roll-up tonneau cover, and a few other accessories that can really raise the price.

With the base hybrid powertrain, the Maverick starts at $30,100 for the XL; $32,700 for the XLT; and $36,150 for the Lariat. Towing capacity for the hybrid is 907 kg (2,000 lb),

Creature comforts include dual-zone automatic climate control, ambient interior lighting, rear-seat dual USB ports, an acoustic windshield, a power sliding rear window, ActiveX upholstery, and an 8-way power driver’s seat. A 6.5-inch productivity screen is also standard. In addition to the packages already mentioned, the Lariat Luxury Package adds an 8-speaker B&O audio system, a 400W/110V inverter with outlets in the cab and bed, heated seats, heated side mirrors, a heated steering wheel, and LED box lighting. The Luxury Package also brings voice-activated navigation, the Sync 3 infotainment system featuring an 8-inch touchscreen with swipe capability, SiriusXM satellite radio, a wireless charging pad, windshield wiper de-icers, a trailer hitch, and a full-size spare tire.

Also Included is The Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist Package adding adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and lane centering, evasive steering assist, are rear parking sensors. Standard safety assist items include emergency front braking, automatic high-beam headlights, and a back-up camera. Extra safety packages include items such as: blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-

traffic alert, lane-keep assist, and hill descent control.

Interior wise- a lot of thought has gone into giving the Maverick a practical versatile interior designed for maximum functionality. Nice touches include larger water bottle holders in the door panels, a phone holder in the centre console; and plenty of storage cubbyholes, plus a wireless phone recharging pad. The Maverick’s interior has rugged styling cues, with some cool use of colour and texture. It’s not as luxurious as an F150, but this is a well priced compact truck. The rear seats flip up for extra cargo storage. Overall interior room is good, with comfortable seats and adequate leg room in the rear. My tester came with some cool hits of orange trim on the air vents, in the seat piping and elsewhere.

On the road, the Maverick Hybrid ride offers a smooth and composed. Feeling. The steering is nicely weighted and, and the vehicle is responsive on acceleration and holds it own on the highway offering satisfyingly strong, linear power delivery. The switch from gas to electric is almost seamless. The Maverick Hybrid handles a variety of

surfaces very well thanks to its well sorted suspension and dampers. Large bumps are soaked up compliantly while body roll is muted. The truck feels solid and durable.

The Maverick Hybrid’s fuel economy is officially rated by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) at 5.6 L/100 km in the city, 7.1 on the highway, and 6.3 combined. If your op for the nonhybrid 2.0L, it’s rated at 9.6 L/100 km in combined driving.

Downsides are few, the fold-down rear seat is a full-width bench, not a split affair, and there is no flat floor once its folded, but is balanced by the handy hidden storage bins, under the rear seat. To sum up, the Maverick is very impressive and is nice to drive. The smart interior, good road manners, compact size and the fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain portion are all plus points. For buyers wanting a well priced fuel frugal small truck – walk this way!

2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid Lariat: priced from $36,000, plus option, destination, and delivery.

Do you know what your mortgage trigger rate is?

(NC) Interest rates have risen dramatically in the past year. When your mortgage has a variable interest rate with a fixed payment, you may reach a trigger rate when interest rates rise.

Your trigger rate is the interest rate at which your mortgage payment will no longer cover the principal and interest due for that period.

Once you've reached the trigger rate, your payment will only cover interest payments and no money will go towards paying down your principal amount. That means that you’ve stopped paying down your loan.

The best way to find out your trigger rate is to review your mortgage or loan agreement. You can also contact your bank. They’ll be able to calculate the exact rate for you. They’ll also be able to let you know your options if you reach it.

For example, your bank may offer to extend your amortization. This is the time period over which the mortgage loan is reduced and eventually paid off

by regular payments. Extending the amortization would avoid having to increase the amount of your recurring payments. However, extending your amortization means paying for a longer period of time and paying more interest in the long run. If you do look into mortgage relief options, it’s important to know what the impact will be for your entire mortgage.

If you’re worried about your mortgage, contact your bank to discuss your options. You could also seek advice from reliable and trusted sources to explore your financial options. Contact a financial professional, such as a licensed financial advisor or an accredited credit counsellor, to discuss a plan. Do your research to find a trustworthy organization and a qualified professional.

Things to be mindful of while attending the Nagar Kirtan

Attending a Nagar Kirtan, a Sikh religious procession and community event, requires a certain level of mindfulness and respect for the traditions and practices involved. Here are some things to keep in mind while attending a Nagar Kirtan:

1. Modest Attire: Dress modestly and respectfully. Avoid wearing revealing or inappropriate clothing. Wearing a head covering (like a scarf) is often expected when entering the gurdwara premises.

2. Head Covering: Both men and women should cover their heads as a sign of respect. You can bring your own head covering or often there are scarves available at the event.

3. Footwear: Remove your shoes before entering the gurdwara premises. There are usually designated areas for keeping shoes. You can wear shoes during the procession.

4. Cleanliness: Observe personal hygiene and cleanliness. Before entering the gurdwara or participating in the procession, it’s customary to wash your hands and feet.

5. Respectful Behavior: Maintain a respectful and humble demeanor. Avoid loud talking, laughter, or disruptive behavior, especially near the procession or in the presence of the Guru Granth Sahib (the Sikh holy scripture).

6. Listening and Observing: Listen to the hymns and prayers being sung during the procession. Even if you don’t understand the language, the music and atmosphere can be spiritually uplifting.

7. Participation: If you’re comfortable, you can join in the procession and walk alongside the float carrying the Guru Granth Sahib. Follow the lead of the organizers and fellow participants.

8. Offerings: You might have the opportunity to offer donations or food to the community during the Nagar Kirtan. This is an act of generosity and community service.

11. Language and Customs: Be aware that the event might be conducted in Punjabi or another regional language. Even if you don’t understand the language, show appreciation for the cultural and spiritual significance.

12. Children and Elders: Be considerate of children, the elderly, and those with disabilities. Offer assistance if needed and make space for them during the procession.

14. Cultural Sensitivity: Educate yourself about Sikh customs and beliefs before attending to ensure you’re respectful and informed.

15. Openness to Learning: Be open to learning about Sikhism and its values. Nagar Kirtans provide an opportunity for cultural exchange and understanding.

Central to the Sikh faith is the concept of the Guru. In the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Sikhs find not just teachings, but the presence of their spiritual guides. The scripture is often referred to as the “Guru Granth Sahib” to emphasize its role as a spiritual mentor, leading individuals towards enlightenment and union with the Divine.

Unity in Diversity:

One of the most remarkable aspects of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is its inclusivity. It includes hymns not only from Sikh Gurus but also from saints and poets of various faiths and backgrounds, celebrating the universal truth that unites humanity. This diversity of voices underscores the Sikh principle of equality and reinforces the belief in the oneness of all creation.

The Abbotsford Nagar Kirtan Celebration:

On September 3, 2023, the city of Abbotsford will be adorned with vibrancy and spiritual fervor as the Nagar Kirtan procession celebrates the anniversary of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. This event not only pays homage to the revered scripture but also provides a platform for people from all walks of life to come together, learn, and share in the spirit of unity and reverence.

The Nagar Kirtan celebration will feature a procession led by the Guru Granth Sahib Ji, carried with profound devotion and accompanied by the sounds of hymns and traditional music. As participants gather to witness this spectacle, they are invited to partake in the sense of community, where cultural diversity and shared values take center stage.

A Message for Humanity:

The teachings of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji extend beyond religious boundaries. Its messages of compassion, humility, and selfless service offer valuable insights for navigating the complexities of modern life. The scripture encourages individuals to lead lives rooted in spiritual principles while contributing positively to society.

As the world continues to embrace diversity and seek common ground, the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji stands as a testament to the power of spirituality in fostering unity.

A way could be found to bring something to an end that has not been quite right or has been bothering you in some way. This would involve or affect matters that need to be dealt with on a regular basis. It will then leave you free to contemplate even reconsider, to mid September, what would be better. It might mean returning to old ways.

You could realise that something you have either been putting into place or want to put into place could do with some scaling down. This may come about because of what is important to somebody else. It will remove all doubt, making the future clearer. You might even go back to past ideas you had from now to mid September.

You have the opportunity to rethink anything, from now to mid September, that you have either been attempting to put in place or been under pressure to do so. Be brave and refuse, especially if a lot of responsibility falls your way. It will then free you up to decide for yourself and then communicate the obligations you are willing to take on.

A straightforward conversation with somebody else could work well in bringing to an end any sort of confusion they have been creating when it comes to the future. There can be something unexpected about it that will set your thinking down a different path. There is no rush to make any final decisions before mid September.

Being involved in something you enjoy might bring a lot of work with it but you won’t mind. There could be a connection to the past as well. Something from the past involving others and finances can arise. Any lack of clarity could be solved, though you might have to accept disappointment. It will allow you to move on.

Best you adopt a direct approach with any person who has been very good at avoiding matters because it is time to bring something to an end. This will enable you to see the commitments they are prepared to make, which may be at odds with what you would like. Take your time in considering your options to mid September.

There is a lot going on behind the scenes and it could be rather confusing. It might mean you need to put things important to you on hold until something becomes more evident. If you feel too much is expected of you, cut it back or drop it altogether. It will eventually bring some aspects out into the open that you can act on.

You could realise some things, more on the pleasurable side, are not as important as you thought and dropping them won’t be such a big deal. More serious things need to take priority and this might seem as though the past is repeating itself in some way to mid September. The difference is you now have more experience.

Something you had in mind might need to be dropped, mainly because there could be a lot more work, even expense, involved than seemed to be the case initially. You are in a good position, from now to mid September, to review the commitments that would be reasonable to take on so that a solid foundation is put in place.

If plans you have been attempting to put in place for the future have gone nowhere, it is time to forget them. If someone else was involved, their position may now become more obvious, as well as any commitments attached. This can clear things up in your own mind, leaving you in a position to make more straightforward decisions.

You need to be cautious when it comes to the true intentions of somebody else. Just have the patience to wait because something could come to an end of its own accord, relieving you of some anxiety. You need to maintain practicality when it comes to things you have under your own control. There is no need to be generous.

Be prepared for somebody else to change their mind in some way between now and mid September in a way where you could be left handling more responsibility. Involved in this could be something being brought to an end that might disappoint you. Hold back when it comes to making any promises. Best to wait and see.

Honesty is everything in dating : Janhvi

Actress Janhvi Kapoor has opened up about dating and relationships. She shared that as a Gen Z woman, she has learnt that having high standards is not being picky but valuing yourself enough to know what you deserve. The Mili actress on Tinder’s latest episode of Swipe Ride said, “Self-love is all about knowing you’re worth more and not settling for anyone that doesn't see that. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and happiness starts with loving every bit of yourself. As a Gen Z woman I’ve learnt that having high standards isn't being picky; it’s valuing yourself enough to know what you deserve.” She added, “And when it comes to dating, honesty is everything. No games, just genuine connections. You deserve a relationship that loves all of you, just as you are.” “Young women today are upfront about what they want when it comes to their dating lives. They are doing so by normalising conversations around female desire, body positivity, consent and boundaries which the viewers will also get to witness on Swipe Ride,” she concludes.

Tamannaah on strange practices in showbiz

A ctress Tamannaah Bhatia said that she finds it strange that conventionally goodlooking actors often carry a badge of not being able to do serious roles, adding that she always felt it's easier to be realistic. Tamannaah, who plays the role of Anya in Aakhri Sach said, “I find it strange that actors, especially conventionally good-looking actors, often carry this kind of badge of not being able to do serious roles. Glam characters take as much work as something realistic. I have always felt that it's easier to be realistic as you are getting closer to reality.” “When you are putting up a persona that is larger than life, it’s always more difficult, it comes purely from your imagination. Playing a character like this is more cathartic for an actor. To be honest, I felt very raw and somewhat naked while performing this character. While, I am playing a cop in Aakhri Sach, I am very glad to say that I really had to keep myself vulnerable, which helped me play Anya,” she added.

There is tremendous excitement in the Bachchan household as the family’s third generation will begin its innings at the movies. Later this year, Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda will make his acting debut with Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies. The newcomer has already made actormamu Abhishek Bachchan proud.

“We are immensely proud of him. He is such a good boy, he works so hard. I get to learn so much from his work ethic. He takes nothing for granted and that’s an amazing quality to have,” he begins. In his 23-year career so far, Abhishek has seen the different facets of showbiz—the highs and lows, the burden of expectations, and the resilience to emerge stronger than it all. The actor, who tries to pass on his wisdom to Nanda, marvels at the

Kriti reflects on Nat’l Award win

A ctress Kriti Sanon has won the National Film Award for Best Actress for her work in Mimi. Narrating her first reaction, she said, “I couldn’t understand what was going on. I usually don’t step outside the meetings to take calls but this time I had to, and that’s when I really got to know the news. I was so elated and emotional that I had to pause the meeting and run down to give my parents a hug. It’s a moment that I will never ever forget in my life”. The Adipurush actress continued:

“I think as an actor, I was really looking for an opportunity to dig deep and explore myself as an actor. Mimi gave me that platform where I could show my potential. The emotionally draining scenes, and every little bit, I gave it my all because it brought that creative satisfaction that every actor craves for. The love and the validation that the film has got even though it was released on OTT is beyond words.”

Getting the first National Award as Best Actress will remain very very special for whole life, she added.

as an actor

openness with which his nephew reacts to his feedback. “I give him honest feedback because that’s the way I learnt. My father always told me, ‘I will be brutally honest with you.’ But when there’s a father-son dynamic, you are a bit on the guard. Agastya is like a sponge; he absorbs everything. He will say, ‘Oh, you don’t like this. Why?’ I find his way of dealing with feedback amazing,” he says, admitting that he is eager to watch The Archies.

There might be some time before he witnesses his nephew in action on screen, but Abhishek thoroughly enjoyed watching mother Jaya Bachchan pull off a grey role in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. There’s a slight difference, though. The son in him is unable to react to the veteran as an actor. “She is the only member of my family whom I don’t react to as an actor because it’s maa! I am emotional about her. I am sure she doesn’t like [this aspect] too much because she is an actor at heart. But to me, she is maa. With my wife [Aishwarya Rai Bachchan], we were co-stars first. So, we have that [actor-to-actor] relationship. With dad too, I manage to [view him] as an actor. But with mom, I am unable to do that.

There is not enough support in the industry : Kalki Koechlin

Imagine walking out of the second season of Made in Heaven, where every character has dubious motives, and going to the set of Goldfish, a mother-daughter story. Kalki Koechlin says Pushan Kripalani’s directorial venture—which revolves around her character growing close to her mother, who grapples with dementia— shows how grief and laughs can co-exist. It helped that Deepti Naval played her on-screen mother, bringing her own experiences to the story. “Deepti’s mother had dementia. She told me little things, like how her mom would make chai with a lot of sugar and have it. Then she would ask for chai again 10 minutes later because she had forgotten that she has already had it. If Deepti said no to the next cup, she’d be upset. Such stories helped me build a person who has lost her identity and is even more frightened due to it,” says Koechlin, adding,“Deepti is someone I deeply admire.” Koechlin, who welcomed daughter Sappho in 2020, admits motherhood has given her a new perspective to roles. But returning to work after her maternity break wasn’t easy. The actor says that she took Sappho to the London shoot. “The night before the shoot, she was holding on to me tight and refusing to sleep. So, I sat her down like an adult and said, ‘Sappho, I want to do this film. It is important to me. I will be here for you every morning and night.’ She went to sleep immediately, and the next morning she asked for her nanny. Sometimes, when you [share] your vulnerability, children feel involved.”
