My C-Max hit 119 several times over the years and didn't take very long to get there. Ford sold them with Z rated tires, not sure why?Having owned a Cmax hybrid, I knew pretty much what I was getting with my hybrid Maverick. While it is 191 HP and they don't add the electric motor torque to the 170 or so lbs ft. of torque listed, it does pull harder than most realize. The eCVT puts everything in the torque peak and keeps it there. Doesn't sound like it is doing as much as it it. The really good thing about the hybrid is how quickly it moves when you mash the throttle. No hesitation, just instant response.
I am sure I would have appreciated an Ecoboost for the power. But I had to flat tow so there was no choice. That said, I would order the hybrid again even if not flat towing. You have the benefit of the hybrid setup ALL the time. Not just when the throttle is on the floor!
