Normal for hybrid to maintain speed when foot off Gas ?

No reason to be tranny shy...it does still work in every mode. Existentialists love every mode.

Yes, but they better hope that HE isn't looking over their shoulder when they turn that knob.

AHHH, Lucas, Lord of Darkness.

My all-time favorite Lucas joke:
Three settings on Lucas headlight switch: DIM, FLICKER, OFF
We better be careful: this is a FORD MAVERICK forum.

I have had my Hybrid for just over a year, and am still gun shy about trying out the different modes. This comes from all my years in British sports cars. I finally got Lucas electric overdrive put into my last TR3B, and I CRINGED every time I flicked that OD switch, whether on or off. Woody Hayes was afraid to throw a pass ("three things can happen, and two of them are bad"). Well, I am the same with "switches." Lastly, does GOD want me to throw that switch?

Throw it all you want while warranty is active!

I remember the hot 60's of the motorcycle world. Triumphs were "big bikes", but you really didn't want to be too far from home when the sun went down.
Combine the paper covered wiring instead of rubber or plastic, the heat sink under the headlight instead of a voltage regulator and that the main fuse was wired thru the tail light, and it was a constant fight to maintain electrical integrity.
The good old days!!

My New today Mav. Hybrid almost feels like the cruise control is on. When on flat hiway @ 40 mph just seems to coast forever. My 2018 Rav4 Hybrid never acted like this. It is quite different from the Toyota Hybrid System have nothing else to compare it to, but on the brakes more then i like to be maybe use L not sure ?

That's a Ford thing since the 70s. They always feed in some gas when coasting, to minimize pollution caused by the poor mixture when using engine deceleration. I don't know why the Rav4 does not do the same, since it will be polluting a lot while slowing down. Maybe they just depend on an oversized cat converter to hide the problem. The Volkswagens cut off the fuel supply totally, so you get better pollutions, but the high vacuum blow-by will carbon things up.
