Ford Maverick FX4 AWD Off-Road Overland Review 

I’m really excited to see the aftermarket come out with goodies for these! The truck 90% of truck owners actually need.

Nice job guys! I have an FX4 with the 4K Tow package, and while I am intrigued by the Tremor package, I really don't want to give up half my towing capacity in exchange for it. Given the other limitations of the Maverick, in terms of the overall ground clearance and lack of comprehensive underbody protection, I think the FX4 with 4K Tow is probably the best "all-around" option for the weekend warrior, although I am sure there are a few instances where the rear locker on the Tremor would come in very handy.

Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to put together such quality footage. This little truck is going to be awesome.

I really wish the Maverick could be optioned with the twin clutch rear differential that the Badlands Bronco Sport has. That would allow this little truck to go just about anywhere most people go with exception to rock crawler fanatics. I think with a small lift, a little bit larger tire and an AWD option for the hybrid would be a fantastic overlander or camp vehicle.

Exactly what I needed to know, truth! Great job. Thanks for the review. Based on this, it is more capable than I need it to be. Thats a good thing. Just need something to get me through plowed highway snow periodically and around on gravel riverbars to launch a boat. I have had one on order since Oct.

I really enjoyed the real world video footage without the excessive hype or needless abuse of the vehicle to prove its capability. Beautiful finesse on adverse trail conditions, I could have watched it for an hour, or more.

You need more subs, this is top notch

I absolutely love my 22 Maverick Fx4 AWD w/ 4k Tow Package. I drove from El Paso to Midland the other day and got 30.5mpg without trying which is better than the manufacturer claims!

Thanks for making the video. I live on a small ranch in Colorado. The roads are often not plowed for days in my area and Im thinking about trading one of my trucks and a car for a little maverick . They seem pretty capable as a small family car and light duty work truck and still good mpg. I would still have my diesel as a full time work truck/ heavy towing .I could see a maverick paying for itself over time with the fuel savings.

Wasn’t sure about this video when I saw the letterbars, but this was a fun montage of seeing this truck get stuck. Thanks for showing this, not for me though.

I absolutely love this truck

I think this is the most torture test of off-road performance I've seen for the Maverick so far. I'm seriously considering getting one of these to replace my full size truck that gets terrible fuel economy. Most of my truck needs anymore is just hauling my dirt bikes around and this would be great for those longer trips out to Colorado.

Not something I would ever plan on taking offroad, but after seeing more and more reviews, I think this would be a great daily driver. Especially for those like me that lives in the midwest, in the middle of nowhere. Roads aren't always plowed right away and getting home from work safely I feel this little truck could handle. I just wish they called it the Courier. lol

Love the video shots. What’s your setup? Do you have videos on filming? Thanks

I have one and I love it

I'm going to get one of these very soon

My daily is a 2016 2.8 turbodiesel Chevy Colorado z71 4x4. It has a rear locker and k02 all terrains and it goes off road and through the snow pretty good. Diesel is very efficient.

Looks interesting. Would love to see a comparison between the last generation Ranger 4x4 w/o looking differential and the new Maverick.

I've had a Tacoma and Colorado. I found the traction control very effective in both vehicles but takes some getting use too. To bad this truck doesn't come with a low range! Eight speed, why no granny gear?

Probably would have done better if it had proper snow tires on it. Will Ford ever give the Maverick hybrid 4 wheel drive?

I like the maverick, I'm just holding out to see if suspension and gearing options become available for the AWD version. There are minor 1" & 2" lifts from the escape that fit, but I'd like to see the capability of fitting tires a few inches bigger for better clearance

I'm wondering how it would do on the beach. ?

Awesome! What drive mode were you mostly using? Stock tires?

Damn u make me feel I should get rid of the hybrid order and go for the awd gas version

Truck might be a little too small for family of 4 but damn this is shot well 👌🏾

Like others said - Need that dual clutch rear locker and AWD lock.

nice !

What would be the best way to increase the ground clearance on this bad boy? Would love for it to be able to compete with a Tacoma.

Did you have traction control off?

At 5:30 you say it doesn’t have low range. I think you are wrong. That is what the “L” button is on the shift knob.

What tires are you using?

@ 3:46 did you put it in Low.??

2024 - Ford Mav AWD Hybrid 2025 - All Electric Ford Mav THUNDER 2026 - a santa cruz like vehicle called RANCHERO on the new C2 platform !

that was a lot of snow

This truck is a midsize. Basically the dimensions as The Frontier, Colorado, and Taco

Anybody try this out on beach sand yet?

AWD hybrid please!

Any awd vehicle with minimal offroad capability can do this. Its not some amazing awd system that can do anything. I have a 1st gen highlander that drove me through some serious snow depths that would scare the shit out of some

3:09 not even good for snow based on the tires 😒

In Australia the Maverick would really struggle with the relatively inexpensive i Chinese pickups they are much better value see the comparison with the Ford Ranger in the video below ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SSOsgE4AhiI.html

It does have Low Range... Its in the center of the gear selector.

This thing is made for even pavement, nothing more lol.
