Decision, decision, decision

Oh, there are some charging stations (8 or 10 in Fort Stockton), but you have to sit there for at least 15-20 minutes to get enough of a partial charge to make it on to El Paso (assuming you don't have to wait in line for a charger). I do a five minute gas and go when traveling

EV charging is going to be a godsend for taquerias. People waiting in line and waiting to fill up. 45 minutes for each vehicle in front of you. I think when I retire I will buy a food truck and park it near a charging station.

Looks like "used" prices on these might be starting to drop (along with the rest of the used car market). but 10% off of crazy is still crazy.

I'm totally comfortable driving FWD over mountains and in the winter, but lots of people in Montana prefer AWD. (my parents had to get their RAV4 in AZ as no dealers in MT had a FWD option).

It might be unavailable in 23 as an AWD and hybrid. that combo wasn't an option for 22 MY. just something to consider if it's important to you.

Wishing you luck with your calculus as you balance your options on these decisions.

There's a YouTube where they pitted a FWD with chains against a AWD going uphill in heavy snow and I think the FWD did a little better. For 6 years I've been carrying some new chains "just in case" with my FWD Buick and I haven't used them yet. I can afford to stay home an the baad snow day with the money I save.

Being a old man i went with ecoboost,trailor hitch,xlt.had to have factory cruise.most of those electronic things was another reason for ecoboost.

Sounds like a good rig for anybody.
I have a cousin who's even older than me who says everybody should have a hybrid.

My outlook's much the same, but I ought to accept the new, digital world eventually.

I was absolutely shocked at how many Teslas I saw in Virginia. But people drive 30miles/day at most. Wyoming is similar to Texas- long distances between McDonald's.

All I can say is they can take my spark-ignition ICE Maverick away from me when they pry my cold dead hands from the steering wheel.

Test drive one. You can not make up your mind without that. If you want a good price go through long macarthur in kansas - they will drop ship to your local dealer if you local dealer doesn't want to guarantee a good price.

It will take a while to get. Be patient.

I haven't officially pulled the trigger yet, but I'm planning to order a 2023 Mav through Long McArthur.

The Maverick is a hybrid not a electric vehicle. It will make it to El Paso. You will most likely have to stop for gasoline on the way.

From photos I have seen of Bucees, at least you can see one from 100 miles away so you won’t have to worry about missing them.

This channel is helping me with my order.

What's the wheelbase opposed to the Jeep?

The wheelbase for the Maverick is 121.1" Jeep I don't know.

I remember seeing both on the video. Not exactly sure but the Jeep GC surprisingly is shorter.

Patience. Not an option these days!

Wheelbase can affect turning radius.
