XLT Hybrid on a Dirt Road . . .

[Davetg]

Query . . .
I'm on Day 580 waiting on my shipped (Finally!) Mav. We live on a dirt/clay road here in the Florida Panhandle.
I had to use the 4x4 on my Jeep Renegade to ingress and egress said road this weekend. Rain like we had the past few days turns our road into a huge bowl of Gumbo . . . Any thoughts on the impact on the electric motors on the Mav these conditions may present??

I live at the end of a steep dirt/gravel road and my FWD Maverick works fine on it. However, on day 2 of ownership I replaced the cheap, thin-tread continental tires that came on my truck with Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires. More suitable tires make a huge improvement in traction.

Thanks!

I navigate a three mile long shell road out side of New Symrna BCH FL twice weekly, that has been underwater several times in my 2022 XLT hybrid, no issues except for the crap in the wheel wells is filling in a low spot adjacent to my driveway @ home.

Thanks! It's all clay and sandy cal up this way . . . When it rains for a day or two. The road turns into a bit of a bog. I was thinking it might impact the electric motors in some way . . .
Time will tell I suppose.
