Looks like I'm going to be scouring the internet to find a locker for the rear.

Yeah, its not accessible though for parking purposes. Wouldn't really show anything that your eyeball isn't already seeing anyway.All the trims have the imaging camera for the standard pre-collision assist system.
Struggled a little more off-road than I thought it would, I'm sure it's primarily tires to blame though.
I read so many on here talking about off-roading and trail riding in theirs, hope those folks got the optional Wildpeaks, that's the only true way to get 8.6" of ground clearance without modification after the fact. This guys FX4 with the smaller tires actually only has 8.3", Ford points out in the spec that the 8.6" is only with the larger tires, I suspect many overlook that detail.
Also, seems he kind of talks down on the other trims. I think the XL and XLT have a ton of options for their respective price points. I can justify the Lariat, but I do not feel it's essential in any way. Very fair and honest review otherwise though.
It makes sense for the camera on all 3, since they all have the emergency braking system and that couldn't work without it.the article I was reading that mentioned the camera and no front sensors was talking about all the tech available with Adaptive cruise control, lane centering, steering assist, etc. which sounded like the full Co-Pilot360 to me. Another poster after me said the camera is standard on all trims- I don't know for sure either way.
Glad I have some toyo 245/60's coming those perrelli are junk for off road. Like taking an a/t to the drag strip right tire for right application.Nice to see the NW spots again, yes ditch those tires immediately and re-do the test with the Wildpeaks-
Funny thing is most side by sides cost more than an xlt fx4 mav these days. They're proud of those things.Great video! Think I'll stick to the pavement in the Maverick. And leave the off-roading to the Side x Sides. Definitely more fun using something that's actually made for it.
IMHO, some of us are asking too much of the Maverick.
Pulling a 2500 pound boat out of the water via precarious boat ramps, that’s why AWD. It’s not just about “off-roaring”.The issue here is no articulation - between the stiff suspension and the Unibody construction with no body flex - as soon as 2 wheels are off the ground you won't go anywhere. This is not an off road vehicle - it's an AWD on road vehicle - probably will be fantastic in snow. This is why I went with the FWD only version. I don't see this truck as a good off-roader so why bother.
It's unreal that Ford defaults to that trashy tire as part of the FX4 off-road package - lolGlad I have some toyo 245/60's coming those perrelli are junk for off road. Like taking an a/t to the drag strip right tire for right application.
Isn't that the truth!!! My neighborhood is full of them! I don't own one, but a very good friend does. What a blast!!Funny thing is most side by sides cost more than an xlt fx4 mav these days. They're proud of those things.
