Picked Up My XLT Hybrid Yesterday! [First Impressions]

[NiklasE]

Loving it so far! Huge upgrade from my 2015 Altima, and it feels great to be back in a pickup. Haven't found much to complain about yet, but I'm sure I will as time goes on. Will be editing this to add to the list as I get more familiar with the truck & feel free to ask any questions!

A few things that have really impressed me:

It's pretty snappy off the line, definitely quicker than the Altima.

The transition between electric and ICE is really seamless & hardly noticeable.

Really quiet in the cab compared to my Altima: the road noise on that was LOUD.

First car I've owned with a center stack display, Android Auto has impressed me so far & the backup camera is sweet.

Despite being all plastic, the interior looks and feels a lot more premium & FUN! Textbook example from Ford on how to do an inexpensive interior the RIGHT way.


COMPLAINTS:

The speakers are meh, good enough but will probably be replacing them at some point.

Dealership offered me 8k for my trade-in. Wouldn't budge. Took it across the street to a Chevy dealership & got $12,600 for it! $4,600 difference LOL.

Congratulations!

Keep us updated on how it drives, etc. Especially what MPGs you get in wintry/cold conditions as I see snow in the background.

Really loving how it drives and handles so far! Will let you know how it handles with some snow on the pavement. I'll update my initial post with some MPG figures once I get some more miles on it.

I'm just commenting to make it three illinois people in a row!
Haven't seen many around yet!
Congratulations! Really interested to see how it handles in the winter.

Congrats, I have an apple, and really love Apply Car Play in our CRV... Hate Apple Car Play in my BMW (it's just BMW issue) the apple car play really is easy to use and you will like all the features. At work we use MS Teams, and in apple car play there the app appears which makes communicating with my Team easy while driving.

The screen in the Mav definitely isn't the highest quality or the most responsive I've seen, but for a $24,000 truck and coming from vehicles without any fancy tech, it's a MASSIVE leap forward for me. My old man drives a Caddy XT6 and I can definitely see how someone stepping down like that could have some issues with it. I won't be complaining!

Currently @ 38 MPG through ~80 miles of driving. Mostly back country roads w/ a little bit of highway and city in there.

Nice truck! , how did that work out selling to chevy dealer with out a gm purchase lol... first ive heard of that.

That interior photo is outstanding! Not sure of the technique, but the contrast, black levels, highlight/shadow details really provide the most true-to-life representation of the XLT's interior I've seen in a photo.. A little bloom on the dash plastic, but the seat fabric's texture and color look spot on, the orange stitching and plastics more flattering than Ford's marketing material. Good job!
