13” road slicks it is thenI've got a 2012 Ford focus. It's front wheel drive. I believe it also has the torque vectoring/traction control system that is an early version of what the FWD Mav has. (I know it has torque vectoring, to what extent of relates to the Mav is what I'm not sure of)
It offers me a surprising amount of traction. I remember the last time we got snow, I was easily passing a BMW purely because I have fwd. I thought to myself "ultimate driving machine..pfft."
I think it will really help to have the weight over the drive wheels, too.
I think/hope we find the maverick very capable in slick situations. AT tires would probably help.
Personally, I'll deal with the look of a road tire to get better mileage and a quieter ride. I think I'm pretty much the Mavericks intended buyer: suburban dwelling first time truck buyer.
That being said, I'd be tempted, because that does look really cool.
