Buyer's remorse on FWD Hybrids?

[Lone Star Proud]

NO. I'm keeping this truck until it falls apart or they take my keys away from me. What comes out later doesn't matter to me and few people or buying this as a towing vehicle in any case.

If the 4k tow package AWD had been available in 2022 when I got mine, I would have been on board. With the price increase since then, no way. I only would have got it for better towing, don't see much need for AWD.

I already sold my 23 Hybrid because I need a truck with AWD and 4k towing package to replace my F150. I need a car that does great in the snow and can also tow my small camper, so I saw the writing on the wall that I needed to sell my Maverick to get an AWD. I will be placing an order tomorrow as soon as the order banks open up.

Those that own Hybrids - will we see the "value" drop on the FWD version because people will prefer the AWD version? Do you regret buying your FWD hybrid and not waiting for the AWD that we knew was coming at some point?

Nope, because I paid 7 k less than the new AWD and doubt that the values will be hurt , not with the excessive price increases. I don't drive it in the snow or rain anyway!

Zero regrets. I don't need AWD and I don't plan on towing anything heavier than a jon boat or a hydraulic wood chipper. I am curious to see how popular a hybrid AWD Mav will be.

Fear of buyers remorse is why I’m still in a ‘21 Ranger XLT 4WD. I’ve been holding on for an AWD Mav Hybrid, but if it turns out to not be a thing or is outside what I want to spend, then I’ll be looking at non-Ford options like CPO Hondas. The Ranger has made me realize how much better (in terms of reliability and total ownership cost) Hondas can be.

Paid $19k it’s I regret that I didn’t buy 3 of them.

I had an '22 AWD LXT, which I sold to get my '23 FWD hybrid. No regrets. Don't need the 4K tow, and living in Central Florida, no real need for the AWD. A couple of weeks ago, I had to haul some junk to the landfill. Muddy road climbing to the top, and a couple of times I wondered if I would need it. Nope, the FWD did just fine. Like I said, no regrets.

I suppose if I needed awd and the extra towing capacity, I would consider the new hybrid, but I have no need for extra towing and for scooting around SoCal suburban roads, the fwd performs just fine. I think it's great that Ford listened to consumers wanting the hybrid awd. They will sell a ton of them, no doubt.

I’m more jealous about the intelligent access and push button start in the XLT.

remorse? Nope. out the door in '22 i got my xl hybrid for under $21K, handles fine in snow in slippery mode, I'm half way to paying it off at 3 percent interest.

The next model will always be better than the current model. That's how Ford sells more cars.

When you buy, you just have to accept that is what you bought.

..and the next model (year) will always cost more.

Yeah no kidding, feel kind of ripped off not having it in the first place on the XLT.

I'm reminded of the scene in Spinal Tap where an amplifier was labeled all the way up to eleven. Some of us only need it to say ten.

it's a car not an investment. expect the value to go down at time passes. if another lockdown happens and the world goes crazy, i may sell a couple of my vehicles, but otherwise i plan on keeping it a long time
