I have two Ford Mavericks, Lariat or Lariat Tremor. Which one should I keep.

[Rivers90]

If your taking a vote, I say keep the tremor.

No disrespect to the OP, but I'm starting to view these multiple-Maverick posts as a veiled form of bragging.

Well, at least he hasn't moved on to asking those of us still trying to receive a Maverick how much he should flip that 2nd ordered and now unwanted Maverick for....

My Tremor is being shipped right now so I have to decide. My Lariat can tow 4k and has better mileage, but I love the Tremor. I do not like the gas mileage though on the Tremor as it is only 21 mpg. We were thinking of selling it ourselves but not sure it is worth the hassle.

Tremor hands down. The 21 MPG is bu__s__t. I've had mine since Dec and its totaled 26.1 so far in mostly 2 lane back road driving on 87 octane gas. I live 10 miles from town and probably drive a little faster than I should. I think I could up the mileage a bit if I drove the speed limit and used 92 octane but it seems very happy on 87! I don't use mine to tow as I have a 6.7 for heavy duty use but I like the Tremor better every time I drive it and the traction is above awesome.

Thanks for your reply, it does help me to decide, what I have right now is best. My other thought for coming on this site was to see if there was someone, in the Seattle area, that might want this Tremor. Someone who is struggling to get a Tremor, but it seems I have rubbed people the wrong way.

It's not you, it's them. As for the Tremor I'd just PM interested parties which dealer has it. I wouldn't insert myself into that equation any further.

People are understandably upset when their 2022 order hasn't been filled yet. Especially those with EB orders. Hybrids are a totally different animal and unfortunately people are lashing out at others who have no fault to bear. When I ordered my son's hybrid I knew full well there was a good chance we wouldn't see it in the 2023 model year. We ended up paying $5,500 more for a used EB XLT that at least was much better spec'd out. He thrilled and at the end of the day we're happy because he's happy.

There is an order to the orders but, IMO, most refuse to educate themselves and end up getting shafted and having unrealistic expectations.

I already talked to my dealer. I asked what my priority would be if I had to reorder a 24 and if I would be within their allocations. The answer was 10 and yes. We currently sit at priority 19 likely due to allocations. We went in knowing we likely weren't going to be allocated because we got in the day they closed.

I prefer having 4k towing than a tremor.

I went with the Tremor.

I don't think you could make a bad choice here, unless you tow - I think the Tremor is by far the better choice.

I think I am passing on my Tremor for a new Colorado Trail Boss.

I will have to go check this Colorado Trail Boss out.

They are not comparable vehicles however once I was suggestively pushed towards the Tremor by Ford it opened me back up to looking at more capable and more truck like options.

I spec'd my TB with every available option and it came to just under $44k (43,925) - but it has a 2 inch lift from the factory, G80 auto rear locker, 4LO, ZR2 skid plate package, trailer brake with advance trailering package towing up to 7,700 lbs. Payload is 1600.

Unfortunately - it is not bigger than a Tremor on the inside - so my kids don't get any additional room. Furthermore the materials are just as cheap if not cheaper than a Maverick - sans the fancy new 11.4" screen and 8" driver screen.

My Tremor is going to run just over $33k with X-Plan and it comes with leather wrapped wheel, heated seats and wheel, moonroof.

Not sure the Colorado is worth the $11k premium - but I feel like the Tremor is just compromised and more of an off road trick than an off road truck.,

The Colorado looks nice, and I agree with you about the Maverick, but I love it. Even with the tow package on the previous one, we were still limited on towing. We have an 83 Ford that can do the towing so I get to be a girl just enjoying her new Maverick Truck.

There is still a reason my Tremor is on order, and every time I see a Mav I get excited. It really is a hell of a package at $33k. Kind of like you - I have decisions to make, and I have a 4 door Bronco Black Diamond ordered too!!

I had a Bronco on order but it was taking forever and after driving one, it wasn’t for me. Not for that much money. This fits me much better and I could add all the extras and still come in much lower. In regard to your Tremor, don’t go drive it as you might change your mind.

I had a Base Sasquatch and I loved it but folded for a profit and high gas prices - I'd snatch up the black diamond if it ever got built. My Tremor is scheduled to be built 6/5 so I will have already had to have passed on my Trail Boss by the time it comes in.

If I buy the TB, the Tremor unfortunately won't get a real look - but that is what happens when it will be almost 22 months by the time it gets delivered

Keep 'em both and ditch whatever second vehicle you have now (if applicable). Lol.

My 24 tremor is averaging 24.8 mpg for the 6300 miles I've put on it so far That's combined city and hwy (75-80 mph)
