I'm betting that an 8 year old Hybrid will have better used market value than an Ecoboost. I base this idea on that fact that more hybrid/electric vehicles are going to be built in those 8 years and the ICE is be slowly (very slowly if certain oil producing counties have their way) are being phased out. With the F150 Lightning and in the next few years the electrified Range coming out, towing capacity at all levels with be covered. Additionally, battery tech is getting better all the time so I think Hybrid is the way to go. This is just one man's opinion, nothing more.Honestly I think it will be a toss up. Hybrid engine will be stressed less, but the hybrid also has an additional system that adds a number of subsystems (eCVT, battery, switches, cooling system etc).
The other thing to think about is what are the cost of repairs? Once out of warranty, even if the Hybrid has fewer issues, one electric AC unit is typically $2500-3k to replace, vs $1000 on a standard ICE vehicle. Replacing the HVB is going to be on the same cost level as replacing an engine or transmission. A lot of those high millage Hybrid taxies you read about in NY have had their HVB replaced at least once.
The other thing in the back of my mind is I wonder how this will effect the used market, am I going to get significantly less when I go to trade in an 8 year old Hybrid Maverick vs an Ecoboost Maverick?
Having said all of that... I ordered a Hybrid Maverick! We will see if the gamble pays off.
You may be smarter than you realize.I come to the uneducated conclusion that the hybrid might come out on top
It would seem this doesnt show any down side to the Hybrid. Maybe I can help.The Maverick Hybrid has these benefits over the gas EcoBoost engine
