Cross country trip and camping in our Maverick!

Super! A shame about the demise of AMC. The Eagle was an icon. One of the first 4WD sedans, correct?

Sedan, wagon, coupe, hatchback, 2dr sedan, gremlin shaped thing, sport convertible. After everything they learned from those vehicles, they used all that they learned from those Eagles to design the Jeep XJ and ZJ. Two of the best daily driver offroaders ever made.

Hey all! We just got back from a cross country road trip in our Maverick! We started from eastern Pennsylvania and drove though Kansas to Colorado where we took the Mav to the top of Pikes Peak! Then we went from there to Arches national park in Utah before heading down to the Grand canyon. From there we went down and spent the night in the Sonoran desert of Arizona then woke up early and drove out to San Diego. We drove Rt 1 and 101 all the way up the coast of California to the redwoods and after that we went up through Washington and back down to the badlands in South Dakota before heading home.

Total trip time 12 days and 7,749 miles. Average mpg 24.5 (according to the dash). Total gas cost was $1,480

We lived out of the Maverick and slept in a tent the whole time and I could not have imagined a better vehicle for this trip.

It was comfortable, smooth, and dependable. Although the gas mileage sounds low, to me that's not bad for an AWD sport utility. We had plenty of storage for all our camping gear and we were able to get anywhere we needed to go, even up the scary muddy shoulderless mountain roads to the campsite in Colorado!

We would wake up at dawn and pack up the tent, then I'd drive until dusk and find a campsite. Only stopping for gas and the occasional sightseeing. But it was more about the journey for us, we just wanted to be able to say we've seen it all even if it was only though the window .

I cannonballed on time when I was 18. Ohio to San Diego in 49 hrs with an hour of sleep in Oklahoma City at a strangely packed Walmart at 2am. It was like a party or something. I do like stopping for the scenery but dang is it fun to be moving!

Those redwoods! They are mine…looks like HWY 101 Ca. Whole trip looks fun but I know those trees
