    Hello all,

    I recently purchased a new 2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid Truck. I have been in need of a small truck and with the Maverick being a hybrid (based on the proven Ford Focus platform) I decided to get one. It is fun to drive and I have already picked up a chair and furniture and soil. I have driven to San Diego and back and averaged 40mpg on the highway. City driving goes up quite a bit to 46mpg. The electric driving mode kicks in a lot more in city driving. Oh, and this truck is fast!! Lots more pickup than my 2015 Prius even in the power mode. I have learned so much from you all. I will still come in and visit. Especially to keep track of the man building his "FireBrid". You can find me in MaverickChat using the moniker "CurtisB". I sold my 2015 to my neighbors son who was very interested in buying it. I will still visit HybridPit!! Take care all of you!! I tried to upload a photo of my truck but the site wouldn't let me.

    When are you going to post something similar about your switch to a Bolt Bisco? You don't even own a 2012 Plugin Prius anymore...
