Awesome oil statistics. I've been a Mobil-1 fan since the '80's. Drove my '86 Nissan 300ZX 270k with the (then) accepted maintenance schedule: Every 5k miles, replace the oil filter & add 1 qt of oil, then do a full change at 25k miles.
Great article on pros/cons of hybrid ownership. My previous vehicle was a Lincoln MKZ. When I retired my wife & I let go of the MKZ & managed with her Lincoln MKC. I started looking for a vehicle that could be flat towed behind our motorhome with a tow dolly of trailer. The Maverick Hybrid fit...
Hi Richard, et all,
I looked at some YouTube videos on this product and came away impressed with the quieter motor sound plus improved fuel mileage. Heading over to their website I noticed that the Maverick wasn't listed, so I requested additional information. Here is what I got back from...

My Lariat hybrid was delivered in March, so far, excellent mileage & my wife likes it better than her new Cosair! It will be my 1st time without an AWD or FWD.
$1000 deductible on the Collision & $50 on the Comp. We have a lot of big trucks around here that throw stones into windshields so it makes sense. Bye the way, if your vehicle gets the catalytic convertor stolen, it's covered on your Comp. I know as my motorhome parked in a "secure" storage lot...
Howdy M.A.F!
My 1st new vehicle in decades is a '24 Lariat Hybrid, which I bought on my 73rd birthday in March. Very pleasantly surprised at the fit & finish on this loaded little truck. Almost 600 miles on it since I drove it off the lot, getting crazy good mileage.
