Any reason other than the Maverick being a hybrid truck for you to replace both your current Chevrolets with a single Ford?
Had the Maverick been available three years ago I'd have bought one instead of getting the Volt

My 3500 gets around 10 mpg on a good day, is a single cab that seats three, is way overpowered for what I use it for these days, and it sits unused until the weekends. I work primarily from home now, but my commute to the office when I go in is 52 miles each way, and the Volt only gets marginally better mpg on the highway than the Maverick will.

I'll replace two vehicles with one and have less insurance, maintenance, parking space, etc . . . and the dealership I buy from has lifetime warranty on power train (ICE only). The Maverick will get 40 mpg around town, and I'm sure I'll beat that number so it seems like a good trade off for me to be able to drop down to a single vehicle but still get the basic benefits of both

And yeah, I like my hybrids too
