    The New Puma is a Hybrid

    You read that right, Ford has a new small SUV called the Puma.
    So in theory you "could" tow your Bass Cat Puma with a Puma

    We doubt the load rating would match the tow rating. Pretty cool though!

    Going to be sold in Europe for 2020 year. Turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine that has a 48-volt hybrid system. It's available with either 123 or 153 horsepower and will only be paired with a six-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive

    Along with the new Puma Ford is releasing the new Cougar althogh spelled differently (Kuga) it is pronouced the same
    I suspect somewhere within the Ford design studio sits a bass fisherman running the BCB brand

    Stop playing with my emotions. I thought you meant the boat.

    Matt no worries. The hybrid will be the most thoroughly tested hull ever put into production

    I was taking grad classes in Renewable and Clean Energy years ago when I decided to buy my first bass boat. I joked that rather than continuing on with evening classes I had decided to spend my time with a hybrid.
