In no particular order, here are most of the reasons why I bought my '26 hybrid AWD:
-it's a Ford
-I liked the '25+ refresh
-MPG
-wanted AWD & hybrid
-truck bed for the occasional trucky things
-not grossly huge like full size trucks
-price
-my Ecoboost AWD Flex was getting up in the miles and...
S'pose that makes sense. Been a minute since I did coilovers (on the Merc) and now that I think about it, they were easy to install.
I'm also seeing mixed opinions on whether adding the rear camber arms is necessary, so...I guess those are going on the list, too. Cha-ching......................

My co-workers are much like 'the thread' on this color and are...
I’m with you. And I’ll never daily a black car again. Been there, done that. It sucks.
And, if I get the urge to drive a black car, I’ll wait until a nice day and grab this out of the garage.
Hi. New to the forum, and new to the platform. I just took delivery of my ‘26 XL AWD hybrid. I went with the most polarizing color. I apologize for triggering half of the Mav owners here.
