My Mav is ceramic coated...a foam...wait to work...and a quick mitt scrub...rinse....and the truck gleams...I do recommend a ceramic coat....and on my FXR gloss black wheels, the foam does the job.
My seat of pants feel was that the hybrid XLT that I drove was much less "fun to drive" in terms of response to pedal input...enough so that I went with the Ecoboost....
It felt lighter on its feet.
I drove both hybrid and 2.0...bought the Ecoboost XLT, Lux, FXR.
I like the peppy feel of the 2.0 with the 8 speed versus the 2.5 hybrid with the CVT transmission....I gave up fuel efficiency for the fun of driving...a good trade in my book.
A ton more torque available in the 2.0...I noticed...
I like that Cactus Grey with the black wheels...we just bought our ecoboost FX4...wife chose Azure Grey.
Really..I had no idea of what the FX4 package or Luxury package entailed when I bought the truck,,,(the only truck of four at the dealer's in "her color").
500 something miles now and it...
We just bought a 2024 XLT FX4 and, while looking, saw a tan hybrid on the dealer's lot and my wife noticed a discolored area of the dash...it looked like a swath cleaned with something that discolored it.
Maybe it is just me...I recently bought the 2024 XLT FXR....
The hybrid that I drove did not respond as well to the gas pedal...I liked the Cactus Grey of the hybrid XLT but the 2 liter's pep was more what I wanted...
The FX4 package ? The wheels...loved the gloss black...the Pirelli...
