Fuel Efficiency: More Miles, More Aloha

Fuel efficiency isn't just about saving money; it's also about reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable Maui. Ford trucks have consistently pushed the boundaries of fuel economy, offering a range of options that help you go further on every gallon.

  • The Ford Maverick Hybrid: This innovative compact pickup truck boasts an impressive EPA-estimated 42 mpg in the city*, setting a new standard for fuel efficiency in its class. Whether you're running errands around town or exploring the scenic Hana Highway, the Maverick Hybrid's exceptional fuel economy will keep your wallet happy and your conscience clear.
  • EcoBoost® Engines: Available across various Ford truck models, EcoBoost® engines combine turbocharging and direct injection to deliver powerful performance without sacrificing fuel economy. These engines strike a balance between capability and efficiency, making them well-suited for Maui's diverse driving conditions, from highway cruising to off-road adventures.
 

Reliability: Built Ford Tough® for Maui's Challenges

On Maui, where the elements can be unforgiving and your truck is your lifeline, reliability isn't just a bonus—it's a necessity. Ford trucks have built a reputation for being "Built Ford Tough®," able to handle the demands of island life and keep you moving forward.

  • Proven Track Record: The Ford F-Series, America's best-selling truck for over 40 years, stands as a testament to its enduring popularity and dependability. Year after year, the F-Series consistently ranks high in customer satisfaction and sales, proving its reliability in a wide range of applications.

Leading organizations like J.D. Power and Consumer Reports consistently award Ford trucks high marks for reliability and dependability. The F-150, for instance, has earned J.D. Power's "Most Dependable Large Light-Duty Pickup" award multiple times
  • Longevity: With proper care and maintenance, Ford trucks are known to easily surpass 200,000 miles, providing years of reliable service and maximizing your investment. Many Maui residents and businesses can attest to the longevity of their Ford trucks, with some vehicles still going strong after decades of use.
  • Resale Value: Due to their reputation for reliability and longevity, Ford trucks retain their value exceptionally well. This means you can expect a higher return on your investment when it's time to sell or trade in your truck, making it a smart financial choice in the long run.
