Does a Maverick Raptor even make sense? Can this platform be turned into a real off road machine? Or does an RS version make more sense, stealing bits from the Focus RS?

I agree with the FX4. They should've given it the Bronco's capabilities.They need to redo the FX4 package and give it the the same differentials/clutch packs as the upgraded Bronco Sport for real off-road performance.
I also dont see them adding these high dollar packages to a vehicle they keep calling a "budget" or "entry level" vehicle.
The best they'd do would be dropping the 2.3T in. A lowered Maverick with a big turbo motor would be a modern day GMC Syclone. They probably won't do it lolI don't think a Raptor is feasible being a unit body vehicle and probably needing to upgrade the engine to something more powerful like a turbo 6. An RS package would make more sense.
Since I first saw this announced all I've been thinking of is "PLEASE drop a bigger motor in this thing and give us a modern day Syclone".The best they'd do would be dropping the 2.3T in. A lowered Maverick with a big turbo motor would be a modern day GMC Syclone. They probably won't do it lol
Assuming an RS would be a relatively loaded trim, $40k is the exact number I've had in my head.An RS model seems most likely to be made. Give it a tune, coil over shocks, larger brakes/wheels/tires and Recaro seats and you’re there. But what about price? Starting at $40K?
Hey, those sprinkler heads are some rough obstacles!Just add a lift, big wheels and tires add the Raptor decals and call it a day.
Most peoples idea of off roading is accidentally driving over part of their lawn.
The F150 Lightning was easy to design - plenty of room in the frame for batteries. A Maverick EV would probably need its own platform. I'd bet that the next generation Maverick will have an EV for sure, if not be standard EV by that point.I would put my money on an all electric Maverick. The Maverick Lightning?!? Give me the big battery that the F150 has that can power my house in a power outage!!
Electric vehicle - a Maverick ? No hell no - don't ruin a damn good truck with electricity !I would put my money on an all electric Maverick. The Maverick Lightning?!? Give me the big battery that the F150 has that can power my house in a power outage!!
