What do you guys expect to be worth more over the long run, an FX4 or a Hybrid XLT? Assume both trucks come with a luxury package and Co-Pilot 360. How much do you expect each of them to be worth at most?

Best Long-Term Value? FX4 vs Hybrid XLT

After the market is settled.....
The FX4 is going to cost more up front. But the market seems to favor new hybrids over the Ecoboost more than 2 to 1. That will translate into used car market values. I would expect a front wheel drive hybrid to bring as much or more on the used market than a more expensive all wheel drive Ecoboost.

I definitely agree with you and I have a fx4.
If you want a AWD or four wheel drive truck/vehicle then there is plenty of available models to chose from.
Yes there aren't many AWD vehicles in this size with a bed but plenty of AWD SUVs and rangers/Colorado/tacos are not much bigger and more capable.
What there isn't a lot of on the market is a hybrid vehicle in this size/weight class with a truck bed.
So long term, hybrids are going to be worth more in the long run just because there isn't many of them and it doesn't have much in the way of competition.
I would love to have an FX4 Ecoboost Maverick. While I love the Hybrid ( owned a Cmax and loved everything about the hybrid ) and wish I could order an all wheel drive Hybrid, it all comes down to what will do the job.
The ONLY Maverick you can flat tow is the Hybrid. Easy choice for me!

The order ratio of Hybrids to EcoBoost is already 2:1. If the Hybrid Maverick came with an AWD option, I bet the ratio would go to at least 3:1 and probably higher than that.

I really think the determining factor will be fuel prices as to who will win this battle.
Fun to try and guess but bottom line is impossible to predict. War, economic setbacks, financial crisis, etc. Could be in three years the value of a Maverick could be the least of our issues. I mean, who knows really??

Traditionally hybrids have held value a little better than standard gas models, until they start getting older (8-10 years old). People start to get worried about the batteries over time, even though they might be good till the vehicle is 15-20 years old.

I have never bought or worried what my choices might be worth down the road (not until I was ready to trade them in) the ones I most wonder about are the vehicles I bought new(1985 Kawasaki Eliminator 900cc/100hp, and 2005 Porsche Boxster S) and know I will die before my kids are challenged with that thought. The ECO has 50 hp less than my Porsche but weighs a bit more so it doesn't concern me on track days, however my P-car buddies want me to bring it to the track for the shitzngiggles, just like my 2018 Kia Sportage S which was designed by an ex-Porsche engineer who had last designed the Macan SUV. it was close but no cigar. I'm trading it in on the Mav (my Ford dealer's other marquee is Kia)
If you want a city vehicle the hybrid saves hundreds per year. If your towing or driving off the pavement a lot buy an F-150 and remove the 4k towing limitation and small/short wheelbase.
If you want to sacrifice gas money and stay small a Tremor is the best of both worlds.

thank you
I've never bought a vehicle, house, etc worried about how much it will be worth it to sell later. I bought it for me.
As for vehicles, if it has value that someone will pay me for and I know the entire history of the vehicle and all the quirks, then it has that same value to me.
Last two vehicles I've owned went from my hands to the scrap heap.
