Hey everyone — I’ve got a 2022 Maverick Hybrid XL, recently swapped to 235/65/R17 Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails on Black Rhino Boxer wheels. Love the look, but I’ve been thinking about adding a small lift or leveling kit.
A couple of things I’m wondering:
Would a mild lift (1–2 inches) look good...
How are you doing the bungee? What are you attaching it to? I have a road bike. (Bicycle) that I’ve been doing the same with. But instead of a bungee, I’ve just been kind of leaning at it off to the side not sure that’s the safest.
Just had my first outing loading up the road bike into the Maverick — took it out to a local park/trail system today. Tossed it right in the bed, strapped it down, and it couldn’t have been easier. No tailgate pad or rack needed, just a quick tie-down setup.
This little truck continues to...
This is super helpful, thanks for the detailed breakdown! I didn’t realize the 245s were a no-go for hybrids — makes me feel better about not forcing it. I had a similar thought process: I knew I’d lose a bit of MPG, but I just wasn’t feeling the OEM tires. They didn’t match the look or the...
I kept both the stock conti tires and the steelies. Right now they’re in my garage, and I’m considering selling them on marketplace as a package deal. Still some decent tread in the tires
Yeah, I figured I might lose a little on MPG, but honestly, it’s worth it for the look and the extra durability. Good to hear you’ve had a great experience with them year-round — that gives me even more confidence in the choice. Appreciate the insight!
Thanks! I haven’t weighed the wheels myself yet, but I might try using a bathroom scale just out of curiosity. Good to know the 1,375 lb load rating is cutting it close on the rear axle with full payload, but still within spec — that gives me some peace of mind.
And yeah, I was surprised too...
Hey everyone!
Just wanted to share my latest upgrade on my 2022 Ford Maverick (Velocity Blue)! Got new wheels and tires installed this morning, and I’m seriously pumped about how it turned out.

54.1 MPG on the way home 🤯
4.7 of 6.7 miles driven on electric. Love what this Maverick Hybrid can do!
But man… I keep going back and forth — do I lean into this insane gas mileage and keep it stock, or go full send with new tires, a lift, and all the mods?
Anybody else battling between...
Nice! I ask because I have same size tires awaiting shipping in the falken Widepeak A/T trails - though I think mine are a bit heavier than that. 2022 Hybrid
Your truck looks great with these tires. Love the ruby red color too. How has your mpg been (since this post is a bit old at this point). Sorry, new forum member here just catching up.
