I picked up my 2026 Hybrid yesterday and just noticed something different about the tailgate -vs- my 2022 and 2023 Mavericks..

When did Ford stop putting the Hybrid badge on the lower left side of the tailgate?

I feel cheated.. :crackup:

thanks

Just personal opinion, too many badges clutter the rear design of the car. The less, the better. So really, it's an improvement. That's why I'm glad the FX4 doesn't have the tacky chrome "AWD" badge on the tailgate like my first one did.

I get it, that’s why the first thing I did was to remove the dealerships‘s advertisement badge lol…

I had the dealer remove its advertisement sticker before I left their lot. Did add Echoboost to the lower left to offset the AWD on the lower right on my 24.

They aren't picking on you.
My MY25 Hybrid AWD XL didn't have any badges at all... No AWD, No Hybrid.
As was noted, Jeffy B's online market has a lot of inexpensive options that you can choose and place exactly where you want them.
I got a couple of AWD badges as that helps you get past the chain up line when it snows. :wink:
