Would you buy hybrid again yes or no

[The Real Maverick]

What a silly question.
But here's the answer:

108.5 miles, needle still pegged on full.

I received my 2025 Maverick Lariat hybrid AWD 4k on 2/7/25 after a six month wait. On 2/10 I was involved in a fender bender on my way home from work. It has been out of service since 2/11.

Today, 6/14 it has finally been repaired, delayed due to unavailable wiring harness SZ6Z15K867BA. I drove it around to make sure the truck had been repaired and I'll pick it up washed and vacuumed Monday morning 6/16. It drove well and it will take time to get accustomed to the numerous safety features. I applaud the Tech at Conway Heaton FORD that was finally able to repair the wiring and calibrate the parking sensors.

Would I buy another? Since 2020 I have bought approximately $176,000 in new Ford trucks, doing my part to support America and Ford. Ford failed to support me with a $135 wiring harness that sits in boxes full in Mexico while my new truck sat out of service. I feel abandoned by Ford Motor Company. I can't say with any certainty that there will be any new Ford vehicles in my future.

I totally understand your feeling and frustration. But from what I understand, this behavior is common to all major manufacturers. Sad but true. They seem to be more concerned about a new sale than about the customers that have ALREADY spent their hard earned money

I was just wondering with all the negative threads about a Maverick hybrids That if you have one or own one would you buy a hybrid again yes or no ?

That's the only thing I would buy. When I heard that Ford was making a crew cab small hybrid truck, to replace my 2005 GMC Canyon, and my 2015 Sonata, I was an early order in the first week of July 2021. The price was unbelivable, the wait was long, but the reward was worth the wait. Not into EV's, but wanted new technology, the hybrid seems to be the way to go for me. I love spending 10 to 15 dollars, when ever I gas up!

C'mon Man!

Some EcoBoost owners only spend 10 to 15 dollars too when they add gas every day.

Same answer as most.. Yes, and with AWD this time.
This thing far surpassed my expectations on mileage, its almost as good as my old Lexus CT and way bigger with more utility.

Would I buy a hybrid again? Absolutely!

Would I buy a Ford hybrid again? Probably not.

The drivetrain is a peach. Its everything else that drags it down.

It's like a cupcake with a cat turd on top.

Well, yes. There's some negative threads but, over a couple years I haven't had an issue except where a guy came to my house and upgraded the rear view camera. And, it's so smooth and over the last six months I've been averaging over 48mpg.

Well, I'm spending a little over twice that much when I fill up. But I'm often putting between 400 to nearly 500 miles per fill-up .

I know I responded earlier. But I'm still amazed. With strictly highway driving I'm getting about the same as with my old 2011 Ford Focus. But I'm just amazed by the fact that when mixing just a bit of city driving in, the mileage quickly surpasses it. And if I put over 100 miles of city driving on a tank, the gas mileage on my Focus went down significantly while the mileage on my Maverick increases . Getting better fuel economy than a compact car in a vehicle with similar passenger space while simultaneously having the ability to carry luggage, my mother's walker, and miscellaneous stuff under a tonneau cover is amazing. And having the ability to fold that cover and carry 2 recliners still in the box, or the old recliner and old tv to the garbage dump is priceless. Add to that the ability to go on less than ideal roads after a rain and (in the future) tow a trailer with some gardening implements on it is beyond belief. Of course I'd buy this AWD hybrid w/4k towing again. And it's a nice all around vehicle as well. Not perfect. But more than good enough.

I drive the 2023 XLT hybrid (metallic orange) and I love it. It fits in the garage mind you I had to buy the stubby antenna but even with the weekender on back it fits. The other requirements were it had to be at least a hybrid but really wanted all electric. The lightning wouldn't fit, and I feel like I dodged a bullet on that. And my aging father had to be able to get in and out. Check and check. Yes I would buy again but now I would go AWD and if it ever becomes possible the 4k towing on the hybrid. It goes everywhere I've asked it to go, carried everything I've asked it to and the gas gauge never moves. Outside a few recalls especially the rear camera issue I love it.
