Just wondering how everyone feels about Ford making the hybrid engine a $1500 option, instead of it being the standard offer.
I don't like it, even if the hybrid is parts constrained, there is no need to make it a $1500 option, let those who really want it, wait for it, and add a warning about...
Just had mine done today, finger prints on the head liner, and the liner is now sagging over the rear seats.
Bringing it back in Monday for them to look at, clean, and repair.
Wish i had not had it done now...
I work for my states highway department, some of our greatest treasures have come from people that don't believe in tying down there loads..

A Front wheel drive, Hybrid, pick up is the tri-fecta for me.
