Very good review👍👍

Great insightful review from an owner perspective.

Great review.

This is my next buy. Great review btw

I have a 23 Tremor . I don't find the steering heavy ,but maybe some are different then others . Overall I really like the tremor and find the ride much nicer then the the XL 23 maverick that I traded in . I only have one complaint with my truck ,but maybe its not Fords fault . I have a small dog ,like 15 lbs . When she comes to sit on my lap she steps on all the buttons on the counsel . This causes quite a commotion . Fun fact ,this is the only vehicle that gives me the speed in reverse that I ever owned. Also If you are looking at this truck and thinking lift kit and big tires . You are probably buying the wrong truck . Ford has it about as good as it can be . Thanks

It's very dangerous to the safety and physical well being of your dog for it to be sitting on the front seat or on your lap, especially if the front airbags are activated.

Although the Tremor has 9.4 inches of ground clearance, that measurement consists of much of the entire undercarriage of the truck, whereas on the Wrangler and other body on frame vehicles, the 10 inches of ground clearance is at the lowest of one single point at bottom of the rear differential, while the rest of the undercarriage of the vehicle is more than a few, or several inches higher in ground clearance.

That’s correct. The big thing to note I think about this truck in that ground clearance figure is for people that are trying to drive on the sand or even in snow. Where I live, you can drive on the beach and that consistent ground clearance really makes a difference in a small platform like this. You’re not just plowing the entire time.

I appreciate you saying no lift kit and big tires! These vehicles are out of the factory designed to do what they're supposed to do. People doing all the modification just ruins the truck and makes it worse for any kinda performance other than making the person driving it feel like thier d**k is bigger

That MPG is insane.

Nice truck, looking to see what else you do with the truck in future videos.

Burning smell is something I experienced but it goes away. I put 44,000 miles on my 22 and I have 9,000 on my 24. But fuel smell in the oil is due to blow by and you will want to change your oil no later than 5k with 100% Synthetic engine oil.

When is the ST coming?

To quiet the engine noise, hang an engine blanket to the underside of the hood. The burning smell is not oil, it is plastic or rubber that is HOT. look around the exhaust or turbos. Funny Story...The 8 speed you like so much? Its a GM design. Talk about reliability>>> 2.0L eco boost engine I-4 - since 2015 8F35 8 speed auto trans - since 2019 I picked up mine yesterday !

I have a Red Ford Maverick Tremor 2023 and it's fantastic with everything except for Ford should up grade with sound for lane keeping and blind spot monitoring. 14:49

Was so excited about this truck, but it sucks. 20% price increase for profit and the hybrid engine catches fire. The design team did a good job though. I’ll never buy a Ford after my experience researching this truck.

Consumer Reports named it one of most reliable vehicles under $30K, top 10 recommended cheap cars, most satisfying pickup, and one of the overall best vehicles of any kind for under $35K. That doesn't mean it's perfect of course, but good luck finding something better for the money.

1200lb payload not too shabby…my 2020 Tacoma Trd Pro only had 986lb payload. However, the Tacoma Pro could tow 6400 lbs.

@plmn93

19 күн бұрын

Yeah but with just 986 pounds of payload, you can never realistically hit that tow rating. Tongue weight needs to be 10-15% of total weight. Splitting the middle, 12.5% of 6400 pounds is 800 pounds on the tongue. That leaves only 186 pounds left for you AND any other people, cargo, and accessories. If your trailer has 15% tongue weight you are overloaded from the start. Regardless, 2000 pounds towing is really low on this Tremor. I'd opt for the FX4 package instead for that reason alone. 4,000 pounds is plenty for a vehicle of this size, IMO.

IMO Sand mode lets you use the power more freely than mud/ruts. I wish FORD had some documenttion on exactly what each modes do so we can use them as needed. I thought Mud/Ruts cuts power to avoid slipping tires on the mud but it clearly didn't as I could see in your video. I'm now confused. I thought Sand mode allowed for more wheel spin.

@DrivingLine

Ай бұрын

I was under the same impression. I’ve found if there is any rapid change in resistance (ie small hole or ledge) Sand cuts power faster than mud/ruts. If I’m just driving on a flat beach, sand works fine.

@@DrivingLine You get what you pay for. But I can forgive a LOT of faults at the Maverick's price point. The Ridgeline's shortcomings as a pickup become harder to forgive when compared to the new crop of midsize competition. Low ground clearance, effeminate styling, grocery getter interior, outdated infotainment, mediocre torque, efficiency, etc. It's SO close to being a truly great midsize truck but Honda seems content to keep it a niche vehicle.

Not in the 2024 tremor it's max towing is 2000lbs. You can get a 2024 Maverick AWD with 4K towing just not the tremor package. I have heard rumors of a refresh in 2025 that the towing capabilities may increase but as of right now it's just a rumor just as the hybrid being available in a AWD. Hope this information helps. Ford has done a refresh on the Ford Ranger which offers more towing capabilities. Just it's a body on frame design making it higher to access the frame still keeps the ground clearance comparable. Personally prefer the Maverick and 4k towing is enough for what I plan on towing.

@@anthonyc178 Your putting your vehicle, you and your passengers and other vehicles on the highway at risk. If an account occured and someone got seriously hurt they would do an investigation. If they found out you were towing over maximum manufacturers limits, not only would you be held accountable but chances are high your insurance company would deny the claim. FYI the tremor suspension is not made for heavy loads or towing and you can not get a high capacity radiator with the upgraded radiator fan. You could be doing irrevocable damage and not notice tell later because of lacking the extra cooling needed for the engine and it's components. FYI that's part of the 4k towing as well.

For total weight, yes, when properly equipped. But I'm assuming that's the weight of the car alone. Trailer will probably be at least another 1500+ pounds, so in that case, no.

The noise will not affect durability. Most of it is due to high pressure fuel pump, & high pressure direct fuel injection. You may be able to fit an acoustic/beauty cover from a different 2.0 eco-boost…possibly titanium/platinum escape.

Rewatch that section. The ECVT is only on the hybrid models. This truck gets the eight speed. The ECVT is completely different from a conventional CVT.

The Maverick was great on paper but Ford botched it as always. Just overpriced garbage now. interior and exterior look great and you can tell they let the industrial designers do their job which is refreshing, especially that little color pop on the rims of the tremor, HOWEVER the Tremor branding is absolutely some sales bro getting their way, because the people who designed the truck would never let that ugly crap on their design. The font is 90’s, the color matches nothing. So sad Ford couldn’t let a good thing be a good thing.
