I plan to keep it at least 10 years, maybe longer judging by my 1998 Ram. Also I need to factor in wait time and uncertainty for the AWD Hybrid. Even if I order on August 1st, I'm sensing no guarantees that I actually see it delivered. The EB AWD seems more likely to happen. Just need new...

You've inspired me to do the calculation. Will take time to recoup cost but idk about decades unless we are figuring in extra hybrid maintenance (which I am honestly ignorant of so please educate me if I'm missing something). I averaged the posted city and highway mpg. Hybrid 37.5 mpg and EB...

Hi everyone, I've been on the fence but finally ready to order a Maverick. Hoping for XLT AWD Hybrid but may settle for XLT FX4 eco boost AWD (need orange-free interior). I understand order banks and specs release August 1 and I have a few questions. 1. Is there an advantage to ordering...

Yes, I think keeping the Dodge for beach and truck things is the plan for now. Will be hard to talk my wife into buying a Maverick too but maybe this means I get a motorcycle?? Nice looking vehicles!! I love the blue on the Dodge and the Dart is sharp!!

Thanks! Glad to have your opinion and after taking a closer look at the front end I agree the clearance is a problem for this location. Unfortunately my 1998 Ram 1500 only has a few good years left. I love driving that thing on the OBX. I got stuck once but realized the 4wd wasn't engaged...

Yes, I stopped by a local dealer for a close look on a 10k upcharge FX4 :rolleyes: and was shocked to see how low the front end was. I've decided this is a no-go for my beach driving. I may get a Mav for other applications as i loved the test drive. Really appreciate all the input from the...

This video is helpful and nice to see a vehicle with similar clearance on this beach. It's the ruts at the 2 minute mark that have me worried. Let's say I scrape sand on the bottom occasionally while driving at 10-15 mph. Would you anticipate any negative effects or damage?

Thanks Montauk for extracting some specificity out of my rambling paragraph lol. Yes, I'm interested to hear all stories of driving a Maverick on sand but ideally there is a member here with experience driving a Maverick at that specific beach. Probably a long shot but worth a try. I can...

I hear ya. Didn't mean to insult any Tremor owners. They are cool trucks just not my style.

LOL. To be fair I haven't seen a Trail Boss in person and I'm just reading the specs.... Does it have painted tow hooks and wheel pocket, or say "Trail Boss" on the upholstery?? If so, I'm out...

Thanks for the responses. From what I gather, it would "probably" be OK until I hit a deep rut and then clearance may be a problem. Just enough uncertainty to give me anxiety the whole time :)

I'm very interested in upgrading my 2nd gen Dodge Ram to a Maverick XLT FX4! My old Dodge has been good to me but its in rough shape and I'm past due for an upgrade. I only drive about 5k miles per year and I don't need a half ton. My only "truck duties" are hauling mulch, dead deer, and...
