Right, none of the pro's and con's here take into account personal preferences. The video's points are mostly to slow people's roll if they think hybrids are made with unicorn dust or something. I'm probably one of those people, so it helps to consider the fire risks, insurance costs, etc.
I stumbled across this video while looking at Maverick reviews, and I think some of it is really good, and some of it doesn't quite land for Mavericks.
First off, watching the video does have me questioning things like maintenance costs with an engine + hybrid system, and longevity +...
Non political (hopefully) take: Now's the time to get the EPA to fix the gas can standards. The "always leaks when you pour" plunger contraptions are the epitome of bad design all around.
Thanks for sharing your view on it. I agree about the vapor contributing to the bloat. But the link in the quote shows the volume change due to temperature. It is a real thing.
It looks nice, but given how easily a rear end seems to total Mavericks I wouldn't want the insurance inspector seeing that I intentionally dimmed the brake lights...
That would be great! My truck's window sticker has a blend date of 4/15/25. The website said "3-4 weeks" which seems generic. Would love to have it in two!

If you haven't seen my other thread, some context is that I've never bought new or worked with an auto dealer before. I felt a good bit of anxiety about running up against sales pitches, but the local dealer has actually been great to work with. Looking forward to...
