My wife and I have been watching some overlanding videos on YouTube that are filmed here in Washington State. Of course, our Mavericks won't compete with Tacoma , Jeeps or the like. Anyone have already or plan on checking them out?

If we get one we’d be taking it down gravel forest service roads of various levels of maintenance. The extra 1.8” of clearance over our Alltrack, full size spare, and extra sidewall height makes that use case more comfortable n

Driving down sandy beaches and gravel/dirt forest service roads when heading to the trailhead or the remote campsite is about the most off-road my Maverick FX4 will likely ever get. But our snow storms are getting more frequent and greater depths.

I'm expecting to use it on just about everything short of rock crawling. Sand, mud, ice and snow. It's going to be my daily driver but it's also going to pull deer and boat duties and taking trips to go skiing. I probably won't be off roading, if for no other reason than not wanting to damage the landscape. I'm still young and healthy enough to bring things to and from the road on my back.

Did you order hybrid ?
Velocity Blue XLT w/Lux, 360, Sunroof, 2.0 EB AWD with 4K tow & FX4 Mikala was my Maverick sales rep. She was extremely helpful, changed my order a couple times.

I had to look up Steamboat Island to see where it is. How long of a drive to get there from 101? I have a Miata and enjoy taking drives to areas I've never been before, so don't be surprised to see a Green Miata drive by one day.

Doing the speed limit, it's about 12-13 minutes. But it can be done in 10. ;)

So what you’re saying is, Maverick meetup at Characters Corner? What a small world. (I’m in Seattle now but grew up on Steamboat Island!)

I'd be up for that when we start getting our Mavericks!

That sounds like a plan, I would have to find out where Characters corner is. I assume it isn't too far from Steamboat island.
