I appreciate not having to hack into the tail light assembly to get power. I agree....it wouldn't be too hard for some companies to offer a plug and play option, on the either hand....sometimes plugs like that are owned by a company and not that easy to get licensed. 🤷 I actually enjoyed my...
🤷 I see your point, but my truck came with a harness. I just soldered the connection. You could also use a nut and some electric tape to make the connection.
In practice... Maybe less than you think. According to this, the hybrid is faster than the Ecoboost between 45-65... But that's ok. Enjoy your Ecoboost and I'll enjoy my hybrid.

Not an enthusiast, you're right. I'll pocket my thousands of dollars in gas savings and bolt ons...maybe I'll use it to take the kids to Disney.
You're argument is hilarious irony, btw..."I can tell you don't care about enthusiast specs"...proceeds to spout off enthusiast specs. 🤣
Have fun...
I mean... That's %2.5 of the price. 🤷 I know you want to get the deal you thought you signed up for, but do you want the truck? If you wait it'll be more expensive the next time you buy.
I've got a theory... Since the maverick looks like a truck, but is smaller, maybe people perceive it as farther away than it is. There's no way to scientifically prove this, but I think it could be feasible.
I think that mpg declines on all cars as they age. I believe battery wear is one reason the hybrid will lose efficiency. I think increased friction in moving parts is another. I'm not too concerned about that, though. I believe they know how to handle the battery and the battery in the hybrid...
