Taking On the Road Less Travelled 

Ford is expanding its highly successful Maverick compact pickup truck lineup to include the Maverick Tremor edition.  It's a highly upgraded off-road package that will be available on the XLT and Lariat models starting this fall to make them much more serviceable off-road.  The price of the Maverick starts at $22,470.  The Tremor package adds $2,995 for a number of new technologies.  The additions include a new, all-wheel-drive system, special front and rear springs and dampers, a one-inch lift to bring it higher off the road and Trail Control.

Tech Specs

The XLT and Lariat models have turbocharged 2.0-liter inline, four-cylinder engines.  The Tremor package provides 5 driving modes depending on the type of terrain or if the driver is towing. The Tremor can haul a 1200-pound payload or pull 2000 pounds.  The new, all-wheel-drive system with a twin-clutch rear-drive locking differential sends nearly all of the rear axle torque to the back wheels for enhanced off-roading.  The Trail Control system enables the truck to manage the brakes and the throttle at a speed set by the driver, allowing the driver to focus on the difficult terrain that they're driving through.  The Tremor package can be ordered in September. It appears to enable a lot of new possibilities for the Maverick. For more news stories like this, New Travel Vehicles Illustrated
