    There's no better value in adventure vehicles right now, and we think the Ford Maverick is the ultimate vehicle for a lot of different folks. Whether you live in the city and have weekends to get away, or you're looking for your first truck the Maverick may be the ultimate Subaru killer. With great fuel economy, compact form factor, and excellent interior space, this thing is hard to beat.

    My Mav Hybrid will likely be built as a MY23, and, wow, I am so glad you all are making this! I am also considering an open bed rack with similar height RTT setup, but the protection of this enclosure and being able to stand is compelling. What is the total height of this in closed position installed on the Maverick? 6'10"? I am thinking this may fit in a standard garage door.

  • @Furluge
    @Furluge ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is that gas mileage you mention what you're observing on that truck with the camper installed? I'm very curious how the extra weight and height affects gas mileage. All in all it looks a very nice package. Roof rack, enclosed bed, and a tent always ready to go.
    Also this is going to sound crazy but considering there are those modular floor bits in the tent, is there any testing as far as weight limit for the bedding? Probably less of a concern with the maverick since it looks like less of the roof/floor pops out as some of the other models.
    Oh, does this model not have the external ladder like some of the other models?

  • @mr.l6982

    Here is a great option. Look at the Ford Maverick camper tent under to TH-cam channel "Gear Gadget Experiments" . Affordable, easy set-up, and easy to take down and put up if you want to drive away. Too many of the fancy truck tents are very expensive- and you can't drive away easily without taking down everything and re-setting up.

    • @GFC
      @GFC  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey you definitely can. When open, the top of the tent can support 75lbs evenly distributed. If you are looking for a more commercial application I would look into our all aluminum extrusion and billet Topper with cabinets.

  • @jeepneygang
    @jeepneygang ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm interested in the tremor package. For a person who wants to add a little bit more camping to their lives do you think that the added cost is justified?
    I do primarily highway driving so the hybrid benefits don't really help me.
    I also don't feel like I need to tow 4,000 lbs for anything.
    I'm looking for that crossover commute to work and camp on the weekends kind of vehicle.

    • @GFC
      @GFC  ปีที่แล้ว

      The tremor is definitely nice if your looking to push the off-roading more. The locking rear differential will help give you traction over rutted and rocky roads, and the added lift will help clear a larger tire. If you’re mostly just driving smoother fire roads though, it may not be worth the added expense.

    Legit off road option? I have doubts. I also can't take this video serious when they say this kind of thing and then try to compare it to a tacoma. This is in the Ridgeline and Santa Cruz overland category, not Tacoma/Frontier/Ranger. Now don't get me wrong, I am seriously considering this exact set up, but in no way will I expect to do the things even a stock Tacoma/Ranger/Frontier can/could do. This would be my daily driver and groomed FS roads "overland" rig

    • @GFC
      @GFC  ปีที่แล้ว +16

      A quality topper/cap will run you at least 4k, and nothing is as nice as ours full stop. That alone is a huge part of it. So for an extra 3300 we have a full pop top camping portion with a panelized floor that’s built from burly UV stable extrusions, composite honeycomb and machined parts. It’s a lot more and a lot different than a ground tent in an open truck bed. It actually makes the maverick work better as a truck since you can haul real stuff on top of the camper. But there’s nothing wrong with a ground tent, and if that’s what your budget tells ya that’s definitely the way to go 🤝
