Desert Overland Build

[Rusty Chain]

Thanks for checking out my rig. I purchased this 2024 XLT 4k about 18 months ago and have slowly been building it up for overloading adventures in the mountains and deserts of Idaho and Utah. I added the Yakima Outpost HD bed rack to hold my roof top tent. It works great and keeps a lower profile. I also just swapped out the tires to some Toyo Open Country 235/65/17s. They a quiet and ride great on and off road. I am looking at doing a lift kit. Has anyone in the group done the Real Truck 2.5" Superlift? I'd love to chat with you about it.

Awesome set up man! These trucks are more capable than people think

Looks like you are truly enjoying your Maverick. Lots of fun times ahead as well.

I have a Maverick Lariat with tow package on order and I am looking forward to towing my teardrop camper. Good luck with the lift kit. I will be waiting for pics. I might decide to do it myself.

It will do great with your teardrop. We have a 13' Hiker Trailer we haul with it as well. It pulls 1500-1800 lbs no problem.

That is good to know. The teardrop is a 2022 Bushwacker Plus 15fk (15 foot at 2200 pounds approximately when loaded by me.) I currently have a 2016 Subaru Impreza that I use to tow it (2650 pound tow capacity with trailer brakes). It pulls great! Looking forward to my Maverick.

I'm doing something similar, but initially for a road trip across Canada this summer. Not much if any off roading. Your RTT you have opening to the drivers side, I am thinking of mine opening to the passenger side. Any advantage one way or the other?

Completely agree. They're not just little toy trucks.

I was gonna go with the Rough Country lift on my 23 XLT AWD/4k only because it comes with spacers as well as replacement struts and shocks, which would cover all the bases as opposed to just end-links and spacers. Pricing isn't too bad either.

I've taken my 23 XLT FX4/4K through mud halfway up the doors and through some creek crossings following my buddy's lifted Taco that you could limbo under. No issues whatsoever besides having to clean a bunch of crap off the bottom afterwards. I'd post a video, but Ford can't know until my warranty is up . I also wouldn't recommend it after learning where the ECM is.
