Can You Really OFF ROAD The Ford Maverick FX4? - TTC Hill Test

Who buys a maverick to off road?

Seems their AWD system isn't that great

Mine came with the Falken Wildpeaks and would climb that hill with no problem. Also with a Maverick Turn OFF the traction control and put it in sand mode.

Those tires look like they suck for an FX4 off road package, I mean if they made the fx4 too equipped there would be no reason to see Maverick Tremors

Love my Maverick, hate the recalls

The biggest hill in Texas

Thanks for the quick review I have a hybrid and love it I don’t need to go off roading

First off, I'm not buying an AWD Mavrick to go off road other than a Gravel Road or a lawn. The Tremor and 4XF packages are useless as far as I'm concerned. This is not a Body on Frame truck, it's an SUV with an open trunk.

The fx package upgrades the radiator and fan as well. Same as the tow package.

About what you should expect from an SUV. Fun vehicle, looks good, priced right, etc. but it isn't really a "truck" and buyers shouldn't expect it to give you all of the functionality of a truck.

And no mention of the dual bottle openers on the tailgate.

First it works better in Sand Mode , then Put some real tires like K03’s or Terra Grappler 245’s up to 265’s and it’ll have a chance. 2 inch lift and it’ll make it way easier. Pirelli’s definitely has to go

Well, we learned that Fx4 is fine on a F150 or Ranger. But if you're off roading a Maverick...get the Tremor!

Better payload than the tacoma 😂

Why isn't there a locking diff on the FX4 Maverick ... it's the only FX4 that I can think of that doesn't have a locker.

Same size tires that's on my Mazda cx50

Perelli scorpion didn't help. You should have opted for the optional P235 gives different rims but you get Falken wildpeaks which has a more aggressive tread. Along with raising ground clearance up about a 1/4 inch from the P225. The FX4 package has a lot for the money. The 6.5 productivity screen but also in settings offers an off road screen that shows % of hill but also where the power is going to each wheel. Its a great little truck and its at home in the city, farm, ranch and off road. Then you commented on how much room is in the cab and the payload capabilities. Surprised you touched on but didn't comment on how much better the ride is instead of beating yourself up with other trucks. Also how much easier the Maverick is for getting in and out of the cab as well as the bed. Its a game changer might be why they cant keep them on the lot.

Full pass, barely though. It's a great bargain for someone who needs a little truck and stays mostly in the city! Thanks for yet another great review
