Another Hybrid delivered :-) [ UPDATED ]

[Joseaoe1]

Thanks everyone for your messages. I have added two more pictures in my original post. Please see below answers to some of the questions:

- Regenerative braking is defensively something I need to get used to. No, there is no need to push any button and it happens automatically, but as far as I can judge, it happens all the time. Braking and overall driving feels pretty "raspy". When you drive downhill everything feels pretty "rough" and "raspy". Nothing dramatic but something to get used to.
- The picture of the trim around the wheels is below, I dont know how to call it. And no, you dont have to crawl under the truck to see it. The truck is higher than a normal car and it was actually the very first thing caught my attention as I first saw the truck. I had to adjust it here and there but for me it still doesn't look right, but again it is probably just me.
- The keypad is part of the XLT package
- I ordered beginning of August but last modification was made end of August.

Few other random impressions:

- The seats are super comfy and nice
- The visibility is above average and fantastic for a truck
- The Radio screen in Apple Car play mode has a bad contrast, I have to see how to change it but I think I read other reports about it and it is not possible to change.
- The gas and brake pedals are very steep and it feels very uncomfortable. I am glad I have a
cruise control, somehow I have the feeling I will use it on this truck all the time.
- The lane keeping assist doesn't work when you are slower than 40mph. This is the first car/truck I have seen like that. I also noticed that there is no alarm for the LKA with my car it just vibrates, even though I adjusted for the alarm.

Other than that, still love the truck and very happy it is here.

Will report more as we go.

There is a small gap in my rear wheel well trim also on both sides. As one previous person responded this may get refined in future production or ford may consider "good enough"

I picked up my new Hybrid XLT earlier today!! I really love the truck and (with exception of few small things)it looks great. I will post a full report with pictures in the next few days. I am surprised we don't see more reports about Hybrid deliveries here but I guess we will see more in the next few days.

UPDATE: Rather than writing a single report, I think it is better to write my impressions as I get to know my truck and experience any new things to report. Please continue reading through this thread as I will be reporting every once in a while new impressions. I see there are already bunch of questions, I will try to answer the questions in those reports as well.

Sharp truck dude ! I'm waiting on my black hybrid xlt. Maybe March? Congrats
