Ford Maverick - Tremor vs FX4 

Ford should quit trying to make random packages and work on upping production so they can actually meet demand.

I like these little trucks despite thinking wouldn't I think with a 3in lift, a slightly bigger tire, and a little more suspension travel this thing is unstoppable it's already impressed the hell out of me lol

No one ever complained about an extra inch. Watching your videos are making me second guess my hybrid. Great video fun times!

Great comparison! I appreciate you not holding back on your personal Maverick, it continues to impress!

By-the-way, what a fantastic review; the chemistry between you guys and your insights were just terrific. Good summary of the two sub-models!

The "front mud guards" you mentioned and pointed out are actually called "wheel spats," and they serve to improve highway mileage by improving airflow around the front tires.

I've owned a Maverick with the FX4 since Dec 2021. Very few folks will push the Maverick far enough to truly need the Tremor, even on sketchy forest service roads. However, it's obvious that the suspension is much better on the Tremor.

Now all we need is the Maverick Raptor😂😂✌️

Great video. Really sold me on NOT having to get the Tremor at all. I never plan on taking a vehicle purposely to even close to what you did in this video, and if the FX4 can't get me out, then I should be getting rescued anyways...

I appreciate all of the work being out in to test these out I think it’s a perfect truck for me

Thanks for the comparison. Only issue is different tires not only size but manufacturer can and will make a difference in ride and available traction. The tremor has 9.4 inches vs the AWD 8.6. Theoretically just going from p225 to p235 on the AWD should gain .255 extra ground clearance so if both had the same size tires it should be 8.85 vs 9.4 if they were the same inflation. The FX4 with hill descent but also the optional 4k tow, gives a higher hwy mpg of 29 vs 24 on the tremor. The tremor does give you better approach, deparcher and crest angles. It also has trail control, lockers, upgraded cv joints different suspension and shocks with a 1 inch lift which also gives it more body roll. The FX4 with 4k tow package increases 2000lb to 4000lb towing capabilities. Increased payload, capabilities but also a high capacity radiator and an upgraded fan, along with additional 5 mpg on the hwy. The issue is ten fold the truck is being bought for price and fuel economy along with being a truck but utilitarian. The tremor package loses all of the above but also makes it useless as a truck. With a 2000lb max payload what good is having lockers when i can not even pull my neighbor out of snow or a ditch? What the heck is those front tow hooks for, unless to be used to pull the tremor out, sad. The Fx4 and 4k tow is a truck. Just would suggest getting the optional p235 AT tires, especially if they come with Falken wildpeaks more traction and more ground clearance and possibly a better ride.

Wish 4k tow could be added to the tremor.

From Michigan and owning a maverick. The FX4 is no joke. I almost bought a tremor but the fuel economy really swayed my choice

Nice choice on the hoodie, you got me 5 seconds in. Red Wings fan here. Trying to do decide which of these to get. Good video, thanks

I just picked up my 24 Lariat AWD 2 weeks ago. I live in AR and this video gives me hope that this thing will do great in the snow when it does snow lol. And also I think in sand mode with traction control off will let you spin the tires more if you have sand mode.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks guys. I had a choice between FX4 and Tremor on a dealer lot. FX4 was the right choice for me.

I think it can’t have the 4k tow package due to the front bumper. It causes the intercooler/radiator to be smaller. Whereas the fx4 4k tow maverick has that big square grille for bigger intercooler and more airflow

Did you try long pressing traction control to disable stability control?

How is the road noise? I drive a 2010 Kia soul. And it's so loud at 70+

Is there a winch for the maverick

Nice video thanks guys.

Would swapping the tiers on the FX4 make it a bit more capable and give it more height?

The Raptor R going by was pretty exciting.

Locking 4wd and locking diff on a XLT would make it the perfect Maverick, with the 4K tow package.

For noise control, try Hushmat kits or equivalent.

Ford needs to do a Maverick Raptor...

Great review, my hybrid arrives in late June, may trade it in for a tremor if I can find one

Sand mode allows more wheel spin than any other mode.... I always use sand mode in any off road situation. I dont use mud and ruts

Really want to buy one of these but inventory is virtually non-existent/mark-up-city! Hopefully one year inventory levels will rise...!

If you look closely the bumpers are the same, the bottom plastic insert is different. It'd be interesting to see if you can swap those out and if Ford sells those separately, cause as you said it does seem like the tow hooks are at the same location.

Thanks

Tremor is more suspension then anything else, the question is are there changes to the transmission and rear end differential gears.

Been waiting someone do this 😊

I am surprised something didn't break the way you drove that Tremor.

What a lot of us want is a comparison between the Maverick Tremor vs Ford Bronco sport Badlands. Are they the same car underneath or not.

if they werent so low to the ground... id be more inclined... but also i dont like that shift nob thing idk what that is.

Its a price thing for the maverick. Hard to not loose sight of that. Its a super nice car if you think budget. It would make a crazy rally vehicle if they were ok with another $60k ford.

love my hybrid 2024 terrain color

Booyah 👊🏽 😁 👍🏽 🇺🇸 I love both my XL Hybrid Maverick and my XLT Tremor Maverick i lifted

Stability control goes away in sand mode if I remember

FX4 22 DOES A READY GOOD JOB

enjoyed this, so many lol moments

Wish ford would put a 8.8 sra in it. Would be wild

Can someone tell me if that tremor is in the cactus grey colour?

you know, there is such thing as too much momentum. I think you risked too fast in some of those spots. Gotta have faith in awd system to keep pushing.

Guys, the tremor vs the forester wilderness you tested. I’m on the fence for either. What do you think?

Which tonneau is that?

10:02 😂😂😂 indeed! My wife is immaculate, I’m the “free thinker” messy one

Pull the abs fuse. It faults the system and disables stability control 💪

8:12 Half butt it?!?! 🤣Yall dont need to censor that hard lol

Can you go rip some donuts! Loved the video

But the tremor CANT tow!

2,000 pound towing is a deal breaker

The true shame is the shtty Michigan roads and salt will kill these two amazing trucks long before they should be retired. I really dig these vehicles though

I'll buy those black wheels with the tires off you from your FX4

im in fort lauderdale dude

What is that phone mount?? Perfect t spot for the truck!!

Ima texas girl and never been to michigan but Ive seen many videos say the roads up there are bad...why is this so?

What really pisses me off is the fucking massive mark up that the dealers are putting on these things. I thought the point of Ford putting these things out was to make a vehicle that was more affordable.

90 kph lol

They could easily fit a 2.7 liter turbo under the hood.

30:02 Silence......

My Fx4 has more clearance than the tremor.

on my channel you will see how i enable paddle shifters on the maverick

wtf is that and why would anyone buy one for the same price they can get a Toyota Tacoma??? Either way get them while you can I guess, Ford, GMC and Chrysler seem determined to keep increasing prices during a recession no less lol. Me thinks big changes are a coming for them

Either one probably gets outclassed by a Subaru.

Ugh, can you not refer to these vehicles as cars. Especially, calling a Raptor a car. Why don't you call atvs cars too.

That Tremor dominates Charlie’s junk blue one

Should be like the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, when you could order every option you wanted in your truck without having to get it in an overpriced package. (Order options individually).

Maverick is just a damn escape without the cover on

This is worse then the jeep renegay. Ford will eventually do away this car.
