I am trying to see if there are any other hybrid Explorer owners out there and what your user experience has been. I have been so thoroughly underwhelmed by my purchase last year. Here have been a just a few of the many and seemingly unending issues this vehicle has had in my 18mos of ownership: *techs not properly trained on how to secure the oil pan after the oil change so it spews oil everywhere *sh**ty fuel economy. <24mpg combined despite eco mode every time I drive and I am not a lead foot and I brake well before the stop. *THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD YO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED AT JUST OVER A YEAR AND WITH 20k MILES ON IT!! (might be bitter for a while on that one) *there is no option to just have rear wheel drive. *3 safety recalls and no fix for any of them yet *sync just decides to not work sometimes like a teenager working at the ice cream shop *the engine hood flaps relentlessly whenever there is the slightest bit of wind. *upholstery was not tucked in and mindful of craftsmanship *ugh.

GM announced the fuel economy numbers for both the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and its fraternal twin GMC Canyon today, and those numbers are about what we expected—good, but not great. In fact, the 2.5-liter I-4's ratings are only a little bit better than the Colorado and Canyon's V-6 EPA ratings. Two-wheel drive, four-cylinder Colorado/Canyons with a six-speed automatic transmission get an EPA estimated 20 mpg in the city, and 27 mpg on the highway, with a combined rating of 22 mpg. Trucks with a manual transmission, because it’s slightly heavier, will get an EPA estimated 19/26/22. http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2014/09/2015-chevrolet-coloradogmc-canyon-i-4-epa-ratings.html
