Lucky for me, the white horse is my Dad’s dog…not sure he is Maverick size.

AWSOME,,, i watched it 5 times with a lot of pausing.
My Springer is looking forward to joy riding in the back seat.

She is quite entertaining…

didn't know you could use 4 wheelers for chicken hunting

 

[Saxapl]

And baiting with chicken feed too. Haha.
No, the 4 wheeler is just because the dogs are about 40 million times more athletic than me, and need to be worn out.
The chickens are because eggs are freakin $.50 each now. Just two years ago you could get a dozen for $1, now $6. So instead I have a small chicken operation…. But they like to eat too.

Goodbye Model Y for Tremor.
More pics to come…including addition of Bushwhacker flares ordered today.

I will be giving up a Model 3 for the Tremor.

How have you liked it so far?

Longer hill climb. It doesn’t look that tough, but it’s steeper than it looks and with the ground frozen under the top layer on slick dirt…it’s a challenge.
Tremor handled it well. I didn’t think the trail control was going to be a big deal, but without a low range, it’s kinda handy.

Trying to find somewhere to get a wheel in the air to test locker.

It's tough to capture on video how steep a grade or difficult terrain is on video. You can switch to the off road screen I believe that will tell you what % degree that is though, looked like 10-12 % degrees (h/t @dalola ).

Very similar to the terrain I'll be taking my Tremor over. Nice videos!

I believe the FX4/Tremor meter displays degrees of slope, not %. That hill is more likely in the 10-15 degree range, or ~20-30%, I would guess. A lot of my driveway is up a 12 degree grade until it levels out. Doesn't look too bad until you're on it!

It goes places the Model Y would not.
Just a different experience. Certainly not as high end and not as fast. But it will do a lot of things better. I will miss the Tesla though…and Elon’s gimmicks.

Yep. Totally does - I'm a moron.

I'd claim it's a Monday but....

I will have to check next time I get out there.

I ordered my Model 3 after a 6pk on the day my Bronco hit Ice Mountain (chip hold). I wish I had ordered a Model Y that night.

My 22 3LR just turned over 8,000 miles and besides getting stuck in a software update loop at a friends house (parked under trees and it was struggling to get reception) for about 2 hours I have had absolutely no issues with it but I continually find myself drawn to the Maverick - especially now the Tremor.

Added the Bushwhacker flares…

Looks ripe for some 245/70r17s!

Yep. I’m actually going to do a Ranger Lifts lift since it says it works with Tremor too. So maybe 75s. Trying to decided if I want to go KO2 or something a little more conservative.

Nice I hadnt checked about the lift kits fitment recently. Im gonna wear out my 235s first, but Im trying to decide between Duratracs and Maxxis Bighorn MTs. I figure if its gonna affect the MPG anyway why not go mud tire. The traction difference off road between MTs and KO2 is about the same difference between Ko2s and the Pirellis. Next time my driveway washes out I dont wanna be stuck at home.

Keep us posted on the lift you do and take plenty of pics. 245/75s are gonna be proper. Thats a 31-near 32. Also known as the size you need on a real truck, that will do 90% of any streetable offroader.
