Undecided, Maybe green?
If you want the green, you better order, like today. It was supposed to be a one year color. ‘25 order banks are closing very soon, if they haven’t already.

Those “less than a dollar” gallon of gas day will never, ever happen again. I’m glad you love your Tremor.
Indeed. Even water costs more than a dollar a gallon at my Walmart. 😱

This is the best reason I can give you for wanting a Tremor. It looks like a baby (Ranger) Raptor. It looks a bit aggressive. Doesn't look or seem like a truck I will get bored of quickly.

I am afraid I will get bored of the hybrid quickly.

Side note: I have not gone out for a test drive yet.
Sounds like it's really the look you want. That's the beauty of the Maverick; just like @Hot Runr Guy stated earlier, you can do pretty much what you want (cosmetically) to make it yours. Lift, lower, fog lights, aux lights, fake tow hooks, wheels, etc. you can make it look like a Raptor while being one of a kind at half the cost because you don't really need the capability of a Raptor. At the same time enjoy the thriftyness of the hybrid if you go that route. The other thing here is: because Ford does not offer a Maverick Raptor, this is your opportunity to provide your take on what it could be.

The Tremor is cooler, the Hybrid is more practical. While I don't think the Tremor is some off road beast, it's far more capable than it would seem on paper. Much more capable than most people would ever need. Really rocky/boulder filled trails are your main enemy, but there are very few brand new vehicles I want to use on that kind of terrain in the first place. And unlike an actual off roader, it doesn't suck to drive and park the 99.9% of the time you aren't off the road. I average about 24MPG mixed, and on a pure highway trip I get about 31. My last 1000 mile vacation trip overall had me around 28.7, which is more than respectable.

While I respect the hybrid AWD and acknowledge it's the better option for most (and realistically there aren't a ton of cases where the Tremor is going to show its extra prowess), to me, the Tremor is just more fun. It's fun to look at it, and some real effort went into making it something unique. It's also way quicker than it really has any right to be. a 14 second quarter mile is wild for something like this. There also just aren't many out there, since they didn't make many and a lot of buyers don't go for it since it compromises some of the things people want from a pickup (like the pitiful towing you get as a sacrifice). I've had quite a few people stop and ask me about it, or just stare/walk around it wondering what the heck it is.

About the hybrid, does it feel slow and boring like a Prius?

No. I have no problem merging with traffic on the freeway.

By the way, what is a Prius?

I will say the newest prius does not fall off until 85 mph. The older priuses(gen 1-4) use to fall off at 45 mph and they gave it the horrible reputation. The maverick uses the same system as the prius (MG1 MG2) and it does shut off at 45mph and goes to mostly gas but it has enough speed to not feel slow.
