The Maverick looks perfect for a teardrop trailer or a rooftop tent on a bedrail that the hybrid will be able to tow. Teardrops will fit the weight, they will be lower than the Maverick for better gas mileage and you can get a street version of a teardrop or an offroad/offgrid version.
The XLT...
Installation isn't a big deal for racks it today's market. They have made it so easy and user friendly. The wait to see what the aftermarket vendors design for the Maverick would be worth it. They always come up with really cool ideas, utilitarian designs.
As mentioned above, Ford is...
Notfast your thinking is my thinking. Its is the same concept as static weight and dynamic weight with a rooftop tent. If all 40sq ft are at a 90 degree angle it would not be a good experience with The maverick.
If part of the surface is at an angle the drag factor is less
with many years of...
The alto and a maverick would be a very nice combo and it would be priced less than the suburbia pavement princesses trucks that rule the road. The Maverick and you would have big smiles on your faces for being used for what they are engineered.
The old Dakota was a great truck. Unfortunately it is up in the air if Ram cancelled the Dakota return for 2022-23 but it would go midsize. They could bring the Ram 700 up from South America to go against Maverick and Hyundai.
To throw another angle into the mix. You may want to think hard about the bathroom. I have a teardrop and never had one and we haven't really haven't missed it. We have a privacy shelter with a boat toilet when necessary. If we camp at a site we use facilities for shower and restroom. If...
Take a look at nucamp. I believe their 320 and css clamshell will fit a Maverick and have a wetbath
Also make sure you get weight definitions from the company you are researching. Many companies will not advertise weight with water, supplies etc loaded. Some vendors say Gross Vehicle Weight...
Save the money and go FWD! We lived in Charleston/Mt. Pleasant for 10 years and never needed AWD. The toughest place for my truck was the Sullivan's Island FD boat landing and getting our boat out.
Hey Ron,
I am SC too. Upstate. I am considering AWD because I am a hiker, Mtn. Biker and a fly fisherman and 4WD isn't available on the Maverick. I do some soft off roading with an off grid teardrop and I would use it for travel to the backwoods and when we go to the Outer Banks to beach...
Your thinking is like my thinking. Fortunately I live in a tax friendly state. Our state tax is capped on car purchases. It was just raised to $500 from $300. No worries there. It is an exciting time to be in the truck/pickup market. A lot of new stuff coming to market. Im lucky, money...
I agree. My logic brain is taking over and telling me to wait and don't preorder with all the potential unknowns. Let the first year Maverick go so all shortcomings can be addressed and fixed that only show when equipment hits the scale of the marketplace. See what cool designs and products...
Yes. It is hard to pay for something that you are not getting due to the upgraded features of another package. Ford could easily offer a package called The 4 package which includes 4k towing/FX4 and price it between the total of both packages combined.
With a goal of staying below $25,000 it...
For overall value and potential resale value. XLT with 4k tow, AWD and spray on liner.
For overall value and keeping the truck until it dies. XL with 4k tow and spray on liner. One could opt for AWD depending on where they live or how they will use the truck.
Yes. I traveled I95 and HWY 17 up and down NC/SC coast from Wilmington to Hilton Head with no issues. The poles are in an aerodynamic position and they were secured to the bar. The rods had a rougher ride on the boat than what the highway could throw at them. I almost did two changes: 1...
Getting a little more serious in placing an order for the Maverick. Since the truck will be used for "soft off roading" pulling an off road teardrop trailer or heading back into the woods, I was looking at 4k package and fx4 package until I noticed the overlap in products. Does anyone know if...
