Being born in the 1900s, I was worried about this when I bought my new 25 Maverick. It's like YouTube picks up on my fear and has to show me security camera videos of guys standing around in the dark with big handheld antennas and stealing new cars like this. I live in Central California. My...
I have a 25 Maverick Tremor. I understand what the off-road mode changes but are the other modes all just different throttle and transmission programs? More specifically, snow and ice. Is that just an even more mellow version of Eco mode but really doesn't do anything different with the AWD...
Actually, the tent stands alone. You can just disconnect the straps from the truck and drive away. You do not have to break down the tent. When you get back from your little trip, you just back up into the tent again and reconnect the straps. The straps are not needed to hold the tent up. They...
Yes. I thought about that one as well. I can just tell you from experience that yes you could sleep on a 6 ft bed but your tent walls have to be near vertical. Sure, the bottom of your tent is 6 ft but then going to be on top of an air mattress of some sort and then you on top of the air...
I have a 25 Tremor, If you do not plan on off roading it much, the Lariat was probably a better choice. Functionally, I think the interiors are nearly Identical.
That's something to think about. I may do that if I ever take it on any longer trips. I just like how It slows down in the speed zones. Can't have it all :-)
I had a regular 4x7 (not truck) tent set up in the bed, I could never keep the tent off my head when sleeping. I gave up on that idea. I have a tonneau cover and I bought one of those "SUV Tents". It worked out very well. This was trip the first time using it. On the next trip, I'm going to back...
I have a 25 Tremor. Is there a way to easily cap the maximum speed the adaptive (speed limit sign reading) cruise control? I have it set for 5 over the speed limit. I live in California and when pulling a trailer, the speed limit is 55 even if the highway speed limit is 70. I would like it to...
25 Maverick Tremor here. I can confirm it still does this. I don't know why it does. It's after I park, turn off the engine with the start stop button, and open the door. My first guess was that I was hitting the lock button near the door handle with my finger as I went to open the door. When I...
Also placed on the "do not try this at home" list but do try it at least once if you are in for a good jump scare:
Live a little and ignore the warnings. Level 1 is the orange warning on the screen. Level 2, the warning turns red and starts in on the simulated rumble strip noise. Level 3 is the...
It replaced my 2003 seven passenger Ram Van "no build" camper that needed an engine rebuild to pass California smog. I went from a minimalist camper van build to a (what I hope to keep) minimalist truck bed camper build. Both were/are my daily drivers :)
No. 4.5 + 3.5 = 8 they overlap by a foot when it's pulled out. The longer rear piece sits on top of the shorter front piece when you're going down the road and when it's set up.
Here is what I did to the bed of mine with a 4x8 sheet of plywood and two 2x6s.
I put the tailgate in the middle position, cut one of the 2x6s 46" to go over the wheel wells, and put the whole 4x8 sheet of plywood like you are supposed to. Then, I measured and cut the sheet of plywood to make a...
And while I'm taking pictures of cameras, this one is for Joe asking about the 360 cameras. This is an example of why the front cameras are so awesome. This is the view from eye level in the driver seat and then this is what the front camera sees. It doesn't take much before you can't see over...
PS. I noticed that there was a little bar on the speedometer screen that looks like there's a second option to the steering angle screen. I went back in there and looked at it, that second option is the seat belt screen
Here are a series of photos. I went on a little dirt hill at my work so I can show you what it looks like. It's a very short but steep hill and you can also see that the radar wasn't happy lol. Starting with the center screen with the steering angle and the pitch and roll. Then, a few of the...
And then talking about the tires, I don't think I want to modify it too much in ways that might affect the gas mileage because this is my daily driver and also I just barely bought it. I am contemplating putting a 2-in lift on it if that doesn't void any kind of warranties. This way at least I...
Well it doesn't seem to be letting me quote on mobile. This is to Joe asking about the 360 cameras:
I've only taken it on three three serious off-road trips for what I felt it can do. Once on some foothills where I got to test it out on a bunch of dirt climbs. The steepest one according to the...
I have a YouTube channel ... a drone based YouTube channel ... that is monetized! All I could think about is not tearing up my truck and not ruining the trip for the other guys that were not in "stockers". I totally spaced out on taking many photos and I never even launched the drone. The only...
I regret not getting photos then as well, it was just that where I got stuck was single lane and a couple trucks from a different group caught up with us. We were just in a hurry to get out of the way. It was not a snow drift. I just got too close to the uphill side of the road and fell into an...
