I really really miss the old cars.

No one gets a do over in life. I don’t sit around watching television.
It’s better to burn out than fade away.

I’m like a dog chasing a car, wouldn’t know what to do with it if I caught it.
:’P

It’s been ten years since I’ve seen Wesley Chapel.
Back in the day where that mall is we used to pick shrooms, the get high kind.

Years later I drilled water wells out there. 1-3 acre lots each with a single wide trailer.

Hippies growing weed in the bay heads.
That little airport was handy.

Did a lot of quail hunting around there.

Yeah even 10 years has made a huge difference in how busy it's gotten out here. The development stalled for a bit after 2008 but it's going like gangbusters now.

What extra drivetrain weight do you speak of?

Really? Bigger tires, much heavier active diff, bigger halfshafts even.

Also don't forget the much softer Tremor springs that will not handle the same load.

The half shafts aren't bigger - they are different design.

Bigger tires do not affect payload.

I'm not sure what an active diff is but the PTU and RDU weight increase are negligible and would not impact payload or towing capacity.

I dressed up like that for a Halloween party,
Nurses dress, face paint, had the long hair at the time. I practiced lines.
Made my own fake detonator.
I was a BMF

Top picture was a short trip. About a hundred miles total pulled great seventy five miles, got about sixteen miles to the gallon.. Bottom one was in 1800 mile round-trip. No trailer on the way there loaded trailer with the car on the way back, got about twelve miles per gallon at seventy five mph

Rated 2,000 # tow like every other Maverick without the 4K package. Tremors have the better cooling toys already for slow off road work so I’m good.
Total loaded trailer is only about 1300 pounds but I’ll likely shoot for 200 pounds on the hitch

10-11% tongue weight is only 130-150. I think closer to 200 would be wise, since I am an inch higher and tuned for more articulation by just a tad.

Who knows ?
In Tow/Haul mode pulling 2300-2500 rpm at 70 mph in 7th gear the Turbo will be in its sweet spot. For no particular reason I may see 18 mpg.
And it may pull hard enough to settle into 8th gear at 70.
Matters little because I can help the engine with my paddle shifters.

I expect this Tremor to pull this little trailer like a freight train.

Named mine, ‘Thor’
The gold and blue.
And my Tremor is really badazz when crawling up steep loose gravel in Off Road Mode.

Safe Travels there Marty
