Easy just add AWD. Or if you are running a hybrid fab one up, shouldnt cost more than $2000 if you do the work, or $6000 if someone else does. Might aswell add in electric wheel hub motors out back at that point for AWD.

Sorry about the inquiry. Haven’t really checked into a lot of specs and wasn’t aware of IRS in the AWD.
to get on another quick note how is the interior room for the driver? Obviously I haven’t been to dealer to sit in one. Is the room comfortable enough for a 6’4” average build person? Thanks.

Plenty comfortable @6'-1" / 240. The overall cabin specs versus the Tacoma or Ranger is very good.

There are some comparison charts out there that will help you get a "visual" until you get a chance to see one.

Ok thanks
I currently drive a Power Stroke but was looking at the Maverick as an additional vehicle for daily driving and the economies of it.

Sounds like you would be better off with the 2.0 with AWD since it has an IRS.

I got to sit in a Maverick and it was comfortable. There was one guy checking out the Maverick with me who is 6'3" and he still had 3-4" of headroom and said he was very comfortable as well.

Havent sat in one. Only one I saw was a locked one that was sold. But other reviewers have said bigger guys are comfortable. Im only 6ft but have a huge ass so..... fingers crossed :ROFLMAO:

No problem, to a person everyone that has riden in mine will comment along the line of "wow, there's more room in here than I thought there would be", I came out of an F150 and dont feel cramped at all

Having been thru several back surgeries ride is King. I've got the AWD,4k and FX4 and I have taken in real rough roads and no roads. No problem at all for me.
