Күн бұрын

We take the new 2022 Ford Maverick Lariat FX4 across Stage 6 of the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route to see how the new BFG Trail Terrain tires fare on pavement, gravel, snow, rocks and mud. Can we get through? Or will the conditions cause us to retreat?

Gotta keep in the gas. Stopping when you just start to get momentum kills it's progress. I'm pretty sure the Maverick would make it and it's definitely top on my list now. Thanks for the review

Momentum is a cheap crutch for offroading. It can work but it's also a fanastic way to break and prematurely wear driveline and chassis components. The hardest but best method for offroading like this is slow and steady.

Except he would have slammed the body on something in the approach angle or break over for sure. Watching the unibody flex whenever a wheel lifted off the ground, lacking skid plates and protection from the middle back, and the lack of 4LO and lockers make this the meanest gravel driveway vehicle at the shopping mall. Sorry, I'll give it more credit - at The Home Depot or Lowe's.

@@keithgibbons92 Except no, sliding on mud is not a "slam", it's a glide. Meanest gravel driveway vehicle at shopping mall is nonsense. It can handle far worse than was thrown at it but that doesn't mean a more fit vehicle couldn't handle even more. There was nothing in the video that a mere FWD car couldn't handle, any FWD car from any era not something with traction control, as long as it had appropriate tires.

If the GX did walk it comfortably and depending on your strap length, I'd say tether the Maverick behind it and finish that last 8th of the trail. Keep up the good work.

Great video content! You provide the “real” world off-road use ability. I have always used BFG KO2 on my Jeep JKU and Porsche Cayenne; mainly due to their more aggressive tread pattern and strong sidewalls. I suspect the KO2’s would have given you the traction needed. However I ALWAYS air down when off-roading for the additional traction and better ride comfort. It would have been interesting to see how well the Maverick FX4 would have done aired down. Nevertheless this video has shown that waiting for the Tremor with its “locking” rear differential is the way to go. Thanks, great review.

Ryan, I had a 2017 Ford Explorer with essentialy the same drivetrain as your Maverick. I did have a larger engine (3.5 V6 NA). I experienced the same kind of Off-road performance as you did. The least little bit of mud or mild hill climbing would always defeat it. I kept it for a year and traded it in on a Tacoma Off Road and never looked back. That type of full time 4 wheel drive with no locker and no low range will always fail when it runs into the slightest difficulty.

Aluminum wheels have a tendency to shatter when you take a decent hit from a rock, whereas steel tends to deform. I know from personal experience.

It’s a neat little truck and certainly fills a niche that was finally abandoned when Ford stopped making the original Ranger. I saw my first one in person the other day, and the Missus thinks it’s adorable. They’ll probably sell like hotcakes. But while it handled most of the forest service road if you spend enough time in the woods you will encounter spots like that and the Maverick seemed to fail.

I know being in front of a computer screen is much different than being there in person, but here we go. I own a 2009 Escape with a very similar AWD system. As such, this was extremely frustrating to watch. You kept giving up RIGHT as the truck was starting to adapt and send power where it was needed. Lockers are great and all, but AWD is much more capable than people give it credit for. It just takes an entirely different driving style, and wheel slip is going to be an accepted fact. You just have to commit and let the computer figure it out.

Every review channel does the exact same thing, they purposely let off the throttle to make it look as if every non-4x4 will never make it over anything but a paved road. No surprise that this channel does the same.

Watch some of his other crossover videos. He knows how AWD systems work, and how to use them. The reasons he noped out had nothing to do with not knowing how to work the technology.

@@chrishowe2935 I have, my frustration isn't specifically with this vehicle. I do appreciate the reviews he gives, but I really can't stand the lack of knowledge on how the AWD systems actually work. I cringe on behalf of the engineers who designed them in almost every video.
