From what I have seen there is a grade assist mode. Not sure if thats the term that ford uses, which can give added regen and also apply engine braking, once the battery is full. I believe it can be switched on or off, on the touchscreen, and then you can acess it by pressing the L on the center...
Whole family has hybrids. My wife and oldest daughter both have rav4 hybrids. My youngest daughter has a corolla hybrid. Probably the most dependable group of cars we've ever had
No, I was looking under the hood. Some are hoses for washers, but I thought there would be sound insulation, or something, but it looks like black electricans tape
Usually the ECO mode makes the thottle less sensitive, so its easier to get the hybrid into battery only mode.
Most of the time, in sport mode there are other changes such as higher effort power steering, less boost than say when going slow and parallel parking.
Been looking at videos, and looking over the standard features. Maybe i missed it, but does the truck come with carpeting in the cab. I would preferr just a rubber floor, which can be hosed out easily. But I do see the benifit of sound deadening, that carpet provides.

Has anyone done any research, into finding the shop to do the work, and ask them what is involved, and what the estimated cost will be, to add an aftermarket cruise control?
It seems all car makers do this, it isnt just Ford. They package useless and over priced crap, in a package, knowing that people only want the one item, like cruise control.
Sad thing is, when you go to sell it, youll have to concede some value due to the cruise not being factory installed
When I ordered mine, they had a mustang with the fighter jet grey turns out its the same as cactus grey. In sunlight its grey, no question. In the shade its got a slight blue tint.
But I agree, in internet photos it appears to have a green tint
If its like the Toyota hybrids, then the motor will start if you press the accelerator too far. There is a dedicated EV button to ask for battery only mode, but it doesn't take much pressing to make the motor start. If you're hypermiling then the Toyota system kicks the motor on when the hybrid...
