Nice to meet you Dave, here in the same State. That is an. awesome looking Tremor, congrats! Coming from someone who changes vehicles like underwear, I can see why you would cash in on the Orange one, if don't need the hyper-miler. Both have their purpose, so I see the dilemma. We own the '23 XLT AWD (already with JB4 :ROFLMAO:) and a Tesla Model 3 Performance. Same deal, different purpose, and both vehicles are great for what they are used for.

flip the Hybrid, enjoy the Tremor, order the Mav ST (if it's coming) and then have another great dilemma down the road. Enjoy the ride and make the most of each day. I lost my brother to Suicide 6 months ago, and several friends to cancer (21, 63, 68) so live each day. You never see a Brinks truck in a funeral procession. JP

I know you wanted only positive comments, but I have to give you a negative one from one old man to another. WHY ARE YOU STILL HANGING AROUND WAITING? GO GET THE MONEY NOW.

I hate to admit it. carmax offered me 4 k over my out of pocket. I have till the 19th. Thinking sell Hybrid XLT , still have the Tremor ( which I F'ing love) and I can either buy another Hybrid for msrp because I think prices are coming down near me or on 7/17 order a 2024 ST Maverick? :eek: Don't hate me. But friendly comments welcome. Understand I am an old man and have way too much time on my hands and I might drive 2500 miles a year. Thanks in advance.

Dark energy (free when bubba do good discovers and releases poop on it) utilization will bring back the Persian flying carpet at which time we can just say to Bubba Do Good's A.I. "GoPhil" "GoPhil fetch the groceries with the insulated green cooler". Same wishes to you....

That white tremor is sick. I love it. I wish I had gotten my XL in white instead of area51.

You should definitely cash in now, especially before the market eventually turns. We’re in a weird space right now where these vehicles have limited supply combined with high demand. As we all know, there are various reasons for this, but this won’t always be the case and eventually these awesome trucks will turn into regular ol’ depreciating assets like most other autos.

This is partially part of my dilemma too! it's already been called a taxi a bus and Bananarama!!! Old men have thin skin. I do love the color BUT The color jabs roll around in this head.
I guess I'm the exact opposite. Call my gorgeous Cyber Orange Maverick a "school bus" and it just makes my point. Who wants another black / gray / white vehicle? They don't stand out at all. Cyber Orange attracts attention, and makes it easy to find my truck at Costco or Home Depot. Not to mention the fact that people DO see it when they're on the road, unlike the ubiquitous "blech" colors so many seem to prefer.

My choices came down to Velocity Blue (discontinued for 2023, and Alto Blue just isn't the same, so nope), Hot Pepper Red (love it, but have had multiple red trucks and cars of late), and Cyber Orange. I went to UT (TN, not TX) and UTEP, and Cyber Orange is "close enough" to both school's colors. If other people don't like it, then don't buy one that color.

Sorry to hear about your brother. I had a close friend that thought that was the only way out and all the talking we did couldn't change his mind. Still miss riding dirt bike with him.
