Tundra Hybrid over Maverick?

[JsnMrd]

Any thoughts choosing this over the Maverick? I'm fully aware of the huge price difference. But for someone who's wanting a efficient but a fully capable truck without the budget constraint, won't the Tundra hybrid be a good choice?

It's a beast on its own segment. Definitely one of its kind and a noteworthy mention

Sure if money wasn't an issue. I'd still like to see the MPG on it. I just can't justify spending that much on a car

Most people shopping for a Maverick aren't cross shopping full size trucks at nearly or over twice the price. And if your asking about the Tundra, why not the F150 Powerboost?

So that is a hard NO.

or the F150 Lightning

The hybrid is mostly in name and almost looks like a boost in power more than for MPG. The Tundra hybrid is just a normal truck with a hybrid plant installed on top, instead of the Maverick being designed Hybrid First.

Very valid question. As a follow up, anyone considering a Mazda Miata instead of the maverick? As a convertible, you could carry unlimited height stuff just like a truck.

Range. A lot of people still don't have access to a charger.

no need for that. I am stating valid points.

I think people think of the Toyota hybrids as great mpg machines but this probably will not be true with Tundra. I can’t really see it get any better than the Ford Powerboost. Toyota has never made a hybrid with this much engine displacement and this much size and weight.

They really are different animals. If the tundra gets the mileage you want, it will hold its resale better and be much more roomy. If it’s as reliable as the last one then it will be much more reliable possibly. That said toyota’s newer stuff has not proven as reliable as older designs. If money is no object then why even look at maverick? The price of the Maverick both vehicle cost and cost to operate are its main selling points.

I feel like a Tacoma or Ranger hybrid would have a better chance of pulling some of the Maverick buyers away. If ford could deliver a Hybrid ranger that got say 30mpg avg, while keeping the current gen towing and payload capabilities, they would have a winner.

I mean given the success of the Rav4 hybrid, Tacoma hybrid is inevitable

Not the Tundra hybrid, but I am cross-shopping with a Toyota Sienna LE AWD (hybrid is the only option). $10k more than the Maverick I want gets me AWD, 3500lbs towing, an enclosed 4x6x4ish space for cargo, and still gets 35mpg. Oh, and the option to carry me and 7 friends. If I had that many.

Someone who is wanting or needing an efficient, fully-capable truck with no budget constraint probably won't be cross-shopping the cheapest truck in America against anything else.

Don't get me wrong; the Maverick is great for its intended market. But if you want/need to haul a couple IBCs or tow a 20' enclosed, the Maverick isn't going to cut it.

Funny you mention that. I am guilty of strapping lumber, blinds, trim, and other long skinny stuff to my old NC's roll bar. But heck, it's flat across the top and is made of tig-welded .120" wall DOM, so it's probably better built than most headache racks.
