So it can look exactly like every other vehicle out there. I HATE all black interiors. Big reason I traded off my 2023 Silverado was the black interior that also put off some vapor that made keeping the windshield clean impossible.
A black interior goes with any exterior color.

Most vehicles have Gray interiors. Blue interiors past 1980 suck.

Allow ACC/Lane Centering add on to lower trims, like other Ford models.

I.E.. Bronco Sport base model.

When I back out of my driveway my engine doesn't start as it's running on battery power. It would be a rare occasion for me to remember to set to eco mode in park. As many others agree Eco mode should be the default mode setting on the hybrid. .
That's not the same as having to "be in motion."

And I drive primarily on normal mode, so I don't think everyone agrees on what should be the default.

This so much.

I had to choose between cloth seats and ACC, so I chose cloth seats. I hate fake leather so much. If they had let me option a Lariat with cloth seats or get ACC on my XLT I would have done either.

I think all the safety suite features should be standard on all trims.
Nope get that crap off my truck. I can say the collision warning had about caused me to crash more than once. Well not really but it sure makes you startle when you coming up to pass and it goes wild on you. Like did I miss something. Add it if you like but for me that’s a hard pass.

Well lets have them selectable, and many are.

Once in motion my Hybrid requires several blocks of driving before I can engage eco. Why have a hybrid if you don't want the best economy?

So? I don;t want a black interior. Luckily Ford agreed!
So I wish my hybrid had a black interior. The blue interior doesn't clash with my iconic silver hybrid like some other exterior colors but black and silver are a much better combination.

Again, you could change before you put the truck in reverse. It's an inconvenience for sure, but it'still not what you said.

And I average overall about 40 mpg in normal mode. In warm weather that number is about 50mpg. Some of us want to have a pleasant driving experience while we do it.

I have 18 fill ups and average 43 mpg. I’ve never switched to eco mode one time. 😊
