I know the Mav AWD system is excellent, but in this thread @Mav4mepossibly mentioned Ocracoke specifically. Accesses and heavily travelled areas of these beaches can feature ruts and drifts in soft sand over 10 inches deep... Deep enough for your Black Lab to hide in, lol. The Maverick won't...
If I wanted to occasionally beach ride in soft sand I’d pick something taller than a maverick with a live rear axle. Big, soft tires on a ranger / Colorado or bigger. I love the maverick but I don’t see it doing that well in 10” ruts with no lift or tire upfits.
Good job. Nice post 💪🏼👍🏼
Good username also. I know no one really knows yet but I think these trucks are going to be around a long time. The drivetrains are a slightly modified version of the Toyota licensed hybrid drivetrain which has been tuned and tested over 15 years in Toyotas and...
Sales tax here is over 8%. Not worth it just to flip. On the other hand, after private offer I’m getting a hybrid utility vehicle for about 23k that will likely give over 10 years / 100,000 miles of economical service so it’s a slam dunk.
I’m glad the frenzy seems to be quieting down on...
I’m 56, in good health with good vision. I could definitely have issues resolving a carbonized grey, silver, brown, or dark blue compact truck from a distance in some situations.
These days people regard signal lights, traffic lights, stop signs and speed limits as optional. DRL’s are...
Sweet. That’s what I had originally ordered in September of 22 but I changed it order to a Grey XL in October which changed my order date. I shoulda left it alone. Now you’ve got one of very few Alto Blue mavs and the BAP makes it even more rare.
Beautiful combo.
Yes. Delete them. Along with bed liner, bed accessories, or bed cover if you have those ordered. Your dealer can install them fast, easily, and you can still include them in your final sale / financing.
Nice! Thanks for the real world story and the pics. A theme among experienced campers is to not take more than you’ll need. It’s always a balance between mobility, comfort, safety, and preparedness. Glad you can get access to such beauty in the Maverick.
Costco has a decent deal on a set of 4 winter tires thru the end of August. One of the offerings was Firestone Destination A/T2. You may be able to find a set of steelies an XL owner is selling on eBay or Craig’s list and get them mounted for winter use.
I’m waiting to see a mod that relocates the shifter knob to the dah in a mav. It’s just wiring and I really don’t understand the design choice to leave gear selection and drive mode buttons in the line of fire for coffee or a frozen beverage.
Saab had their key switches down there on the...
Cactus Gray… My 22 year old daughter vetoed the Atlas Blue immediately when she saw it out in he wild for some reason. I expect she’ll have this truck sometime in the next couple years so moon-rock-avocado it is, lol.
Same. XL Hybrid ordered with copilot 360 and a hitch. My dealer has allocations for August. Never know. I think orders that get scheduled this month will be built in October/November and deliver Nov/Dec.
