Indy looks like he is a good boy!

By cross-country trip I assume you are driving in the day and sleeping in a hotel at night and worried about your cab contents freezing at night? If this is the case simplest would probably be to just bring in the sensitive items into hotel with you. Alternately, I would heat water while...

Since I have a camper shell I actually have mine mounted in my truck bed.

Love those (but not the price). Here is the Mav on final night of one month (20 state) camping trip across America.

Thanks @Redneck Garage. Love the videos. Looking forward to the XLT conversion video.

Under Seat Deflector code please. No cubby holder deluxe or locking rear cubby door discount?

Looks great. Wish I hopped on the (now expired) deal earlier.

I have these things but if I had a new Mav again I’d totally buy this kit (especially at MTC pricing).

You might be asking a lot of the Maverick if this is a long/frequent haul. Cheapest will be to build (probably out of wood) which means you’ll be in control of how safe it is. You’ll definitely have to load it flat on your roof as the kayak is longer than the Mav itself. It will need to be...

Re-bumping an old thread. Also looking for a small (powered) sub to add under the driver seat. I’m open to any brand (even generic ones). Just would like to hear some experience from a real-world Mav install (positive or negative).

Too generic for my taste. I wish it said ”Maverick” or ”Ford”… or even better “MTC”.

This would be my recommendation too If kayaks were the only thing you haul (casually). If you feel that you would use it enough, I love having a full (bed/roof) rack. I personally like the Xtrusion Overland racks (although I have not priced since I had a setup already). While I don’t have an...

This is going to be the best Maverick build ever. Can’t wait to see the final install. 😝

I really would love to get a picture of my rig next to a Hawaiian INTERstate sign. That would amuse me.

Thanks for the great information. Seriously. I really want to do the continental 48 for sure (especially with 20 states already crossed off). Alaska would be a dream to get to via coastal Canada drive. Hawaii is not as certain but your info is helpful should I ever pull that trigger.

Some random indoor tent shots. Like I said I slept in various kinds of weather to really cold to really (triple digit) hot nights. I carried an EcoFlow Wave 2 with me which has the ability heating AND air conditioning capabilities. I never did have to use it as a heater. On cold nights I...

Nice. Beautiful! 38.5mpg. Love it! That e-bike is pretty sweet too. I wanted to head down the 1 through Big Sur on my way down but wasn’t sure if it was open or not so skipped it. I’ve done it before and of course it was beautiful but after heading down the Oregon coast and Redwood Highway I...

I wondered that myself. Not sure of the camper weight but it’s not that heavy (relatively). I’ll defer to @dxpedition13 on the official weight of the Maverick Packout Camper. Regarding overall weight my rear did sag but I’ll just say I was within payload specs. That’s my story and I’m sticking...

Sorry I meant to put in this in the original post. I normally get 33mpg. It’s funny, as soon as I hit the traffic in Southern California my mpg started to climb again. Only got up to 20. 5 by the time I got home and has sat since. I’ll update later after I drive it around town again for awhile.

Just got back from a month long, 7,781 (driving) mile, cross-country road / camping trip across 20 states. Drove/camped in all kinds of weather and places across the country. I saw a lot of Mavericks (and waved to all of them) but am not sure if any of them were MTCers. The Maverick, my...
