Maverick TREMOR trademarked in Chile

That news comes to us from the Chilean National Institute of Industrial Property via CarBuzz, which reportedly discovered a trademark for Maverick Tremor filed in that country. Admittedly, that doesn't mean anything is guaranteed to happen; automakers file patents and trademarks that they wind up not using all the time. Still, considering Ford already offers a Tremor off-road version of every other truck they sell in America — the Ranger, the F-150 and the Super Duty — adding the package to the Maverick seems like a likely course.​

​

Assuming it follows the archetype of those other models, a Maverick Tremor would likely pack a lifted off-road suspension, all-terrain tire, tow hooks and other add-ons designed to make it a better platform for rock crawlers, such as added auxiliary power capabilities for lights and winches. All-wheel-drive would presumably be standard — we don't see Ford finding a way to cram a low-range transfer case in there — which means the trucks would probably all pack the 2.0-liter turbo-four that's required for AWD in the Maverick.​

There is, of course, an even more extreme off-road trim level in the Ford arsenal that could theoretically make its way to the Maverick: Raptor. That said, Ford has been much more conservative with doling out that badge than it has with the Tremor one, and the Maverick's crossover-based unibody construction likely wouldn't lend itself all that well to the sort of high-speed trail-bashing that defines the Raptor breed.​

​

That said...we're still gonna start fantasizing about a Maverick Raptor rally truck packing the Bronco's 2.3-liter turbo four designed to give the Subaru WRX something new to fear.​

I love how cargo cult-y these Photoshop jobs can be. Ah, yes, just put the snorkel on the completely opposite corner from the air filter.

You do know that it’s not real right?

Totally real, In Chile everything is reversed, even the water flushes the opposite direction in the toilet.

all of the overland gear I see on SUVs and Tacomas kills your fuel economy. Took off the little basket from the roof of my wife’s suv because hwy fuel economy dropped 5mpg!

If not using your accessories, remove them. People don’t understand how much aerodynamics play a part in fuel economy, especially on small turbo engine powered suvs/trucks!

I don't understand the excitement for this. It's like putting a Ferrari engine in a Civic. Sure, it might be cool, but it's not functional.

 

[Ron Neal]

Not my cup of tea and would rather see a STX version.

They need you to know they are outdoorsy
