Citröen has had that since, forever, w better shocks and mpg. I see you are a traditionalist "any color as long as it's black." GF surprised me recently, disliking my Wedgewood Blue, wanting black. I might copy a recent post; Guy did a matte black wrap. Purdy!

What's with the 8yr/100,000 mi hybrid battery?
Is this a hybrid? Limp mode or extended range? It was too tired & I was too late to see the vid, yet.

no its a regular 3.5 eco boost. I have a weakness for black trucks, if i get this one it will be my 4th black truck, maybe im a glutton for punishment but nothing like having a clean black truck

I would love a hybrid but the wife is not comfortable with them

Having seen them in person I know that is a great looking truck (except the taillights). The pics do not do it justice.
I;m sure you will have much better ones soon to show.

But - if there was just a shop manual for them... What triggers limp mode, etc. It there was a forum for them, we wouldn't even be allowed in it - not that we could understand... such illogical software. Like, a truck a truck with rustic AI transformer software. "But yesterday, that button did a whole different thing!!!" "Well, yes, but you were doing 20, not 25, and it was Tuesday."

But an 8 yr, 100,000 mi hybrid battery... It said that. Was that a hybrid version versus the 3.5 eco?

Anyway, keep up with those oil changes... 😉😉

Last year's model. Get a deal! And maybe add undercoat? Then add a case of it yourself for spots they missed. But $75 k... I'm too old to fully assimilate the inflationary aspect. My NTM '01 XL+ 4x4 was mid 20's. My '97 Cobra Convertible was 35ish. Black.

BTW, I like documentation. I warned the dealer away from the sticker removal, sprayed Windex on the widow sticker, covered it w plastic wrap - in an hour it came off, intact, suitable for framing. Make them throw in a set of shop manuals, LOL !
