Did you choose all wheel drive or front wheel drive and why?

2WD because I wanted the hybrid fuel economy more than the 4WD turbo ecoboost. Replacing a FWD compact car, do no loss in traction getting a FWD Maverick. (If they offered a hybrid 4WD I would have chosen it.)

AWD, because I grew up in Alaska, and all trucks should be 4wd or AWD at worst.

Mine will be FWD. I want the highway fuel mileage. I do not foresee fuel costs going down. I do not tow anything heavy. Once a year my zero turn mower to the shop for service in the spring.

I chose the awd because I have a steep driveway.

After watching some dude in a Civic navigate the old Borax trail in Death Valley several years ago, I decided right then and there, I needed my AWD Explorer like I need my ex wife back.

2WD because I wanted the hybrid fuel economy, won't need any off-road capability and no snow in my area of North Carolina

AWD- In Michigan Snow, UP roads to Crisp Point lighthouse is off roading, Got the off road package. Because of Lumber roads for hunting or site seeing

FWD Eco. Because I drive a ton but still wanted the HP gain and 8 speed tranny while trying to sacrifice minimally for mpg's. I do live in the snow belt of Ohio but have had numerous RWD Rangers and F-150's (aka, I know how to drive in crappy weather). Plus I WFH and the wife has a 2021 Subaru Forrester with Symmetrical AWD if the snow really hits the fan.

I'll be using my Mav as a do-everything vehicle and FWD Hybrid does not check all the boxes for me. Despite a popular assumption, we don't all live in a California-type climate and have the option to work from home.

It's funny to see the "its all about saving money" people argue against AWD Ecoboost on a forum about a brand new vehicle. If you wanna save money I'll sell you my 2006 Corolla with 225k miles for $3k.. thats ~$22k less than the XLT! Gets better highway mileage than the hybrid too!!!

$3500 difference plus a dip in fuel economy isn't something to chalk up as chump change.

Money is a relative thing to some people.

AWD because of snow here in Canada. I had an Escape a few years ago that had AWD and it did well in the winter.

AWD for the 4K tow primarily, plus IRS, plus added winter/gravel/dirt road capacity.

Really wish a PHEV AWD Mav was an option.....

Yeah the other reason I wanted the AWD was because my son goes to school in upstate NY which is only a short drive from that lovely Canadian snow.

FWD, I have never seen the need for AWD with my lifestyle and location.
