The fx package upgrades the radiator and fan as well. Same as the tow package.

Mine came with the Falken Wildpeaks and would climb that hill with no problem. Also with a Maverick Turn OFF the traction control and put it in sand mode.

First it works better in Sand Mode , then Put some real tires like K03’s or Terra Grappler 245’s up to 265’s and it’ll have a chance. 2 inch lift and it’ll make it way easier. Pirelli’s definitely has to go

Full pass, barely though. It's a great bargain for someone who needs a little truck and stays mostly in the city! Thanks for yet another great review

I disagree, I bought it specifically because I don't live in the city. It's a 20 mile drive for me to go basically anywhere and my half ton was killing me in gas.

Perelli scorpion didn't help. You should have opted for the optional P235 gives different rims but you get Falken wildpeaks which has a more aggressive tread. Along with raising ground clearance up about a 1/4 inch from the P225. The FX4 package has a lot for the money. The 6.5 productivity screen but also in settings offers an off road screen that shows % of hill but also where the power is going to each wheel. Its a great little truck and its at home in the city, farm, ranch and off road. Then you commented on how much room is in the cab and the payload capabilities. Surprised you touched on but didn't comment on how much better the ride is instead of beating yourself up with other trucks. Also how much easier the Maverick is for getting in and out of the cab as well as the bed. Its a game changer might be why they cant keep them on the lot.

Probably one of the most aggressive tires you can get other than the ko2 is to get to 245 65 17 (they fit) venom terra hunter . Very inexpensive too.

@HuronRiver-ke8xn Ай бұрын

@@off-roadingexplained8417 Probably but I was referring to from Ford or stock. They offer P235 AT as an option, they don't offer P245 tires as an option. I don't think they own the majority of vehicles they make videos of. That being said they should be able to request certain configurations from the factory or dealership.

Those tires look like they suck for an FX4 off road package, I mean if they made the fx4 too equipped there would be no reason to see Maverick Tremors

Why isn't there a locking diff on the FX4 Maverick ... it's the only FX4 that I can think of that doesn't have a locker.

Tremor has it

@HuronRiver-ke8xn 11 күн бұрын

Just a guess they offer the 4k tow with the FX4. On the other hand you can not get the 4k tow on the tremor. Not sure if it's the different differential or the lack of high capacity radiator and upgraded fan on the Tremor package. Still to be able to get FX4, 4k tow with P235 AT tires is still pretty impressive with the intelligent AWD system. I had to forgo the Tremor because of the 4k tow and I wanted to make sure I got the high capacity radiator and upgraded fan for longevity, also didn't want to take a 200lb hit on payload capabilities or 5 mpg on hwy fuel economy. Lot of videos out there showing the FX4 off road and in snow and tackling hills like this one. In other words a pretty capable truck on and off road for the majority of owners. I also didn't want the tremors ride many have mentioned it being softer but actually has more roll, similar to other trucks.

Who buys a maverick to off road?

@ScottAyers- Ай бұрын

First off, I'm not buying an AWD Mavrick to go off road other than a Gravel Road or a lawn. The Tremor and 4XF packages are useless as far as I'm concerned. This is not a Body on Frame truck, it's an SUV with an open trunk.

@JRs-guitars Ай бұрын

Well, we learned that Fx4 is fine on a F150 or Ranger. But if you're off roading a Maverick...get the Tremor!

@GRAFHC Ай бұрын

About what you should expect from an SUV. Fun vehicle, looks good, priced right, etc. but it isn't really a "truck" and buyers shouldn't expect it to give you all of the functionality of a truck.

@dannyalley3753 26 күн бұрын

Perhaps you should look up the definition of a pick up truck. Dictionary Data from Oxford Languages pick·up [ˈpikˌəp] noun pickup truck (noun) a small truck with an enclosed cab and open back. Sorry Your wrong :)
