Hibred?
While getting the oil changed in out F-150 we looked at a new Ford Maverick Hybrid. my question is are hybrids worth all of the hype? 37 MPG for the maverick, v 13 for the F-150 is only one positive. I've already sold all of my boats.
We are going to look at Chevrolet also. Forget about dodge or what ever they are calling them selfs these days.

Re: Hibred?
In some hybrids, half the trunk space is taken up by an aquarium full of electric eels that you have to feed. Soooo… do your homework.

Re: Hibred?
Dunno about trucks, but my Prius is going strong after 15 years. I might look at getting a new car soon, but there's no urgency.

How many battery replacements. Over how many miles?

Zero battery replacements. Over 105,000 miles.

Re: Hibred?
I have many friends who drive them and none are unhappy. But none of them drive trucks. Kia Sportage, several Toyotas (no Priuses)

Re: Hibred?
So far it's looking like next year, and will probably be a Ford Maverick Hybred.

Re: Hibred?
Don't remember. But I think the Ford Maverick is the only top recommended vehicle from Ford in Consumer Reports.
