I'll ask you for the same on your hybrid reliability. Why did the recalls start again? How many engine fires before FORD was legally forced to do something? Don't the Escapes have the same issues?
I'm not making a claim other than it's to early to tell. That's what "the jury is still out" means. Take it easy.
My EB FWD met or exceeded my 2014 Accord's around-town mileage. No complaints here!
It is weird. I've never visited a Hybrid specific thread to tell folks why I believe my EB order was the superior choice. The constant justifying of your own purchase by criticizing the choice of others is ridiculous (and that goes both ways!). It's just weird. The intention of this thread was simply to ask some of us why we chose to purchase/order the EcoBoost... Oh well.
It is a nice color, but honestly, it's weird to me how similar it is to Cactus Grey. And for that matter, why Ford has Area 51 and also Azure Grey Metallic. And yet no green?
I actually think both engines are great choices depending on your needs. I was just saying reliability seems tough to assess at this time. Not many mavericks have hit high miles yet so the data are very limited.It is weird. I've never visited a Hybrid specific thread to tell folks why I believe my EB order was the superior choice.

I mean other than different rear suspension, different transmissions, different engines, varying underseat storage, exclusive options (Tremor, FX4, 4KTow, AWD).. they are still the same truck. I've driven both in the city, so not being able to really stretch the legs of the EB, they felt very similar. Looking forward to the first opportunity to drive it on I-19 (75mph speed limit)
Anyway, the EB/Hybrid bickering, It's such a stupid Taste Great / Less Filling arguement.
I agree. I simply won't tolerate it is the difference. And that's half the reason I feel the need to clarify why the Hybrid actually is a great choice when I call them out on the hypocrisy. If they made one in AWD/Tremor the majority agree it's what they would have - as evidence in this thread clearly shows.It is weird.

I've laughed at many of your posts before. It's the way you insert yourself and now are trying to backpaddle playing the victim about it. Clarify what your intent is early on and stop trolling. The jury is not out, there is no "long term data" and you know this as proof of your following posts, so why post that way to begin with? Hybrid specific issues are well known amongst these forums and elsewhere and maintenance with the EB's is too. That is what we know. We clearly agree about the majority - but I disagree with the way you chose to insert yourself into this discussion. Sadly, that's fairly common with the comments you leave that I don't enjoy. Take care sprubs. Just know I don't hold a grudge. I'll still laugh with you moving forward.
Well you could get into all of that. You could do just that. Or you might just consider that the intention of this thread was simply to ask some of us why we chose to purchase/order the EcoBoost. Some of the reasons are quite subjective; we really didn't need all of the facts stated.
