Why not all three? A lift kit will let you go up a few tire sizes and get you that extra clearance. Then atleast rock sliders will give you some extra piece of mind. It’s a slippery slope so I’d be honest what type of trails you want to do. If you are eventually going to want to push beyond...

If the Santa Cruz is anything like my wife's Tuscon its not fun although hers is quick since its the PHEV. The steering is very vague and seems like its got a lot of play. It's definitely a cruiser not a canyon carver. My maverick feels nice and tight by comparison.

So I think thats part of it that only the xl gets the steelies. Its a tell tale sign you got the lowest level trim. But everyday I drive by a Defender with the stock black steelies and its look so good. It adds to the rugged look of the vehicle. So I think if only tremors had them I think people...

This is from Ram's own site. But I got it, your point they both plug in and have an ICE so they are hybrids thus PHEVs. My point is to anyone buying one or other they operate and are built differently.

Like you said above the Ram Charger is a series hybrid, those are getting the designation EREV. Theres an ICE that only acts as a generator, its not connected to a transmission. PHEV usually used to describe parallel hybrid that you can plugin like the Escape PHEV, Rav 4 Prime, Prius Prime...

Yeah in a 2 or 3 car household I can see a use case for having one maybe two evs for commuting and 1 ICE for long range trips.

It would. 12-14 hours on 110v was about average on our phevs. 1 had a 13 kwh battery and the other 15 kwh. I also installed a lv 2 charger which cuts it down to 2 hours. So when its warm out our around town driving was never with gas.

I use it all the time on my commutes. Well maybe not all hp. But there’s too many tractor trailers and left lane campers out there clogging up the highways. The ecoboost doesn’t sweat getting around those people who never learned drive right pass left.

This is great info and something I've been wondering about my Maverick! I've taken previous vehicles out on to beaches but those have been 4wd transfer cases. The PTU overheating would be my biggest concern.

Yes those stats have me wishing Ford could do something like that with the Maverick. But saying a Ramcharger is a PHEV just confuses it's operation with what PHEVs are currently out there. Current PHEVs are essentially functioning like under powered evs until your battery is depleted (usually...

If you think about it, would you really want to recharge a PHEV as you drive? You'd be asking the ice to perform double duty. Say you are driving along at 70 mph and its taking your engine 150 hp to keep you at a constant 70 mph. But to charge your battery you'd now be asking the engine to...

I read somewhere that they tuned the pentastar to hover around 180 hp or something very efficiently to charge the batteries.

A plug in hybrid typically looks to use electric power first and use up its range before using the ice (unless more power is required like on the highway or need to run the heater). Braking will add back charge. Once you hit zero (which isnt zero theres usually some percentage floor like 15-20%)...

Its not off-roading if you don't break something!

A bunch of you guys keep saying the ram is a PHEV. It’s not. It’s a range extended ev with the 3.6 v6 pentastar as a generator. The 3.6 is not connected to the drivetrain at all. All it does is recharge the batteries. A PHEV is basically a hybrid but with a bigger battery so that it can run...

So you’d probably be ok then with a “solar generator” (it’s what they call those battery packs) with 1000 wh capacity and either a 200w or 400w panel. Bluetti, Jackery and Anker each make their own kits with different sized batteries and panels. My Anker cx 1000 can power our mini fridge (not...

I have a long commute, about 100 miles round trip. My wife has a 1/2 mile trip so I usually try and switch up driving both of our cars to balance the miles. More often than not I don’t switch up now that I got my maverick. I was driving wranglers for 9 years and I wanted to switch things up with...

We have a 2023 Tuscon PHEV. I drive alot of highways and power for merging and passing is a must for me. I crossed shopped the Santa Cruz with my Maverick but was not impressed with the non turbo engine. To get the Turbo engine you have to go up to the higher trims well over $40k. So that is a...

I think they like that because it means that Tremor Mavericks arent stealing sales from Rangers. We should also like that because it tells Ford there is a ceiling for Maverick prices.

I'd buy that Maverick Raptor (Incase Ford is listening).
