I did see something about the payload situation for the tremor being reduced to 1250 lbs.. the locking rear is one that I feel would be peace of mind.. at my moms I’ve had to have the rear locked once or twice… Thanks for the clarifications brother much appreciated.

I do want her to have a nicely outfitted vehicle… I agree the tremor seems like the best trim for a vehicle that’s gonna be on and lite off road.. The biggest indecision is that dang tow rating “to 4k? Or not to 4k? That is the question.” It is very slick.. I sent pictures of the Maverick Tremor...

The truck bed utility is at the top of my moms list of needs right under dad needs to be able to easily get in and out since he absolutely needs assistance in that regard..(not fully wheel chair bound but he can’t do a step up on a stair.). Truck utility and light off road capable are her...

My sister has a Honda hybrid and previous she owned a kia hybrid.. both my mom has driven… The everything digital vs knobs and switches..even I prefer the knobs and switches. Mom shares the same sentiment.. from what I can tell though it’s not as tablet tech like a Tesla but it’s not as simple...

That’s actually pretty accurate, not a big fan of the hybrid stuff.

The current escape (2015) is a front wheel drive version.. so very easy to get stuck.. it has no tow hitch.. the need for towing would be for a small debris trailer (single axle dump trailer.) a small closed trailer, and a small two horse trailer.. the utility of having a small truck bed would...

That is good to know.. it seems both the FX4 and the Tremor models have a few things that differ from each other.. I see cv axles are a bit of a concern.. the tremor has more robust cv axles is that true? But the fx4 (4k tow package)has some drivetrain parts that get beefed up.. or is that true...

Yup my Ranger is indeed lifted. Even prior to lifting it after his third stroke he wasn’t able to make the step up when it was stock height.☹️. Honestly your response is leaning me towards the Tremor Maverick.. being the off road one it should have skids like the FX4. Right? The tow rating of...

I’m gonna check out that A.R.E cap.. we have a whole pack of dogs (7 dogs 😅).. 5 cats, 4 goats, two horses… and possibly some chickens the next time our neighbors hatch some..(but I gotta build a proper coup).. Having the cap will definitely make any trips to the vet much easier for mom with not...

May I ask why you traded the 24 for a 25? Was it for the AWD system and your Mav was a FWD.?

She liked the escape, but hated that it would get stuck in the mud and dirt when she would drive it down to the barn on occasion (I’ve had too recover it a few times.).. and that it didn’t have a utility bed to put stuff like hay or any tools she might need down at the barn or to bring back up...

My mom has a Ranch property with a few goats and a couple horses. So having a little trucklet (I will forever refer to the maverick as such 😂.) A vehicle that can go over some light off road areas are her place is why the tremor Mav seems great..but the 2k towing is the kick in the pants. We...

The XLT FX4 with the 4k tow package was seemingly the smarter option I was looking into.. it’s going to be a “Ranch truck lite”.. so it’ll be on some rough patches of the property.. some off road capacity will be required.. the hybrid gas mileage sounds super nice.. but I feel like the 2.0 would...

Hahaha that’s my bad I missed that.. Not that I’m very good with grammar.. autocorrect failed me 😅.

Howdy guys. Ranger Owner here (I’m on the Ranger5G forum under the same username.) Like the title says I’m fixing to buy my mom a Maverick.. So far I’m looking at the new Tremor, but a bit sad that it can only pull 2k..(shouldn’t be that big of an issue though, I have a 5gRanger.) Anyway moms...
