Was the main reason for switching for the Hybrid? Was just curious why you didn't go for another Tremor.
I won’t fill an ecoboost with less than 93 so even though my Hybrid AWD isn’t close to and probably never will hit the stated MPG there is real efficiency gains for me with it getting upper 20s on 87.

I also believe the hybrid drivetrain will be more durable and trouble free over the life of the vehicle and it is buttery smooth.

I wish we could option the advanced AWD (ptu/rdu) of the tremor for other mavericks because that is what makes the tremor great but I would only use that capability once or twice a year that I guess I just will have to avoid those situations.

I plan to have my Hybrid for the long haul and in time that may include a flat out suspension kit (or simple air bags). Either way the hybrid will likely be with my family for a decade or more.

Just went from ‘22 Lariat to ‘25 Lariat. I would say it is a brighter white.
At the top of the light, I see a little rainbow affect, at the transition from the lights to the dark. Really see it when behind a white car, or on the snow.
There is also some kind of ‘spot’ on the left one near the top. Probably a mold numb or something.

I’ll be honest I’m a bit disappointed with the 25 Lariat. Not that it is bad but it is not an improvement over my 23 Tremor. If I had to give one the nod I would likely say the 23 Tremor was better.

My 24 Civic EX had better lights than both of them. All three work well with their auto hi-beams
How would you compare the headlight brightness between your 25 Lariat and 23 Tremor?

Pretty much equal. If I had to give a nod to one I would say the 25 Lariat but really not by much. I expected a big improvement with the projector LEDs and its marginal at best.

Both better than my base Bronco LEDs. But worse than my model 3 or civics which were surprisingly good.

However Ford does do the auto hi beams well so for the most part I find the Mavericks lights to be adequate and above average.
