Sorry to read about the damage. Just glad everyone is okay, could have been worse. Depending on your driving would determine in the hybrid AWD would be worth it. Highway mpg is not much difference.

Besides you have the FX4 you will be giving up a lot besides the 250hp and 277ft lbs of torque. Whatever you decide the best for you and the type of driving you do is all that matters.

Nice Truck. Not very many miles. I'd keep what ya got if it was me.

It would be an expensive trade with depreciation and inflation, probably looking at $10-15K.
I'd keep it at least through the warranty period. Order a 2026 if you're still thinking about trading.

I understand you're reluctance to keep it. It is no longer a "babied" new truck. Due to the fact that the turbo, radiator and condenser need replacing it isn't like it's a fender, bumper and grill.
It's a tough call. I am glad that you are okay.
Good Luck

Believe it, or not, $6700 is not a lot of damage on a new truck. The truck will be repaired, not totaled, and will have a accident report issued. That's when the dealer will loball you on the trade in. Todays repair shops do a great job, and the truck will be as good as ever. Keep what you have that's what I would do!

Sorry to hear the bad news. Front end pictures would have been nice.

Thanx brother, I hope I can isolate out of my mind

I don't recall seeing an accident report here before in which a Maverick wasn't considered totaled by the insurance company.

Of course, I'm still sore about my '97 Eldorado being classed as totaled not for the body damage, but the cost repainting two panels with White Diamond tricot.
