Pirelli Scorpion ATR vs. AT PLUS Test/Review | Ford Maverick FX4 OVERLAND Build [EP.1]: TIRE UPGRADE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ม.ค. 2023
- EP.1 of building out the 2022 Ford Maverick XLT Ecoboost FX4 4k into an overland truck camper!
In this episode we take a look at the stock Pirelli Scorpion ATR tires that come on the FX4 package, and put them through several light offroad tests to get a grasp of their capability off the pavement. We then swap the tires to a new set of Pirelli Scorpion A/T PLUS all terrain tires and run them through the same tests, and the results are NIGHT AND DAY.
Changing the tires to a more capable option, especially one with some sidewall tread, really opens up the full potential of this little truck and makes a world of difference.
I really hope you enjoy the video, and if you do let me know in the comments and consider subscribing so you don't miss the rest of this build!

Really good video mate. I’m downunder considering the Pirelli AT+. You are very informative and cover everything. Thank you for the video and I wish you all the best with your beautiful family
Thanks for posting great info. Scorpion plus seems solid for sure.
Exactly the series I wanted to see. Currently live in Japan but really hope to get my hands on maverick tremor when I come back to the states in a few years and wanted a overland series to get ideas from.
The Tremor looks awesome! Hopefully you enjoy my videos, I'll have a ton of Maverick content coming up over the next couple months as I continue the build.
Thanks. Bought a Mav couple months ago. Agree with your overall assessment of the stock tires on FX4.
My experience with all terrain tires has been it’s usually not worth the install unless you daily or weekly trails. You lose out on so much dry asphalt performance: breaking, accelerating, & feel/sound. Not to mention all terrains can be $100-400 more/set. They do look cool though 😎
Totally agree with you. 99% of the trucks out there with these huge lug tires will never see anything but pavement. It really looks kinda dumb for sure. But the Scorpion plus looks about a good balance.
@@MrVictoria69 lmk how those are! I’ve had great experience with Pirelli. I’ve had Firestone & Goodyear tires change color (turn pink) but never with Pirelli
Just bought them. Great vid
I live in the Jacksonville area and I have a 2022 Ford Maverick FX4 Tow XTL LUX. I also have the Yakima Overhaul HD truck rack (for a future roof top tent). On December 30th I put on 235 65 17 BF Goodrich Trail Terrain TAs.
Just got a pair 2 months ago awesome tire so far!! I Had 2 pairs of ATR’s before the plus’s! I have a 2014 F-150 3.5 ecoboost!! Amazing how much better it looks!!
Btw I purchased mine brand new from Walmart for $195 each!! Check them next time!!
I had an 88 ford ranger regular cab with the at's. It went through everything. I was mostly impressed with the 18 inch's of snow I could just cruise thru
I have the same exact Maverick XLT FX4 except mine is Blue. Looking forward to the bed rack video because thats what I've been wanting to do.
Heck yeah! You like yours so far?
The bedrack video may take a little while.. I've had some issues with getting the one I want, but when I finally get it, it will be awesome!
Thanks for the video. FYI the truck you tested is slightly different than the standard AWD. The standard AWD doesn't come with AT tires. Also if you get the 4K tow package like the one in the video it has a different gear ratio from 3.63 to 3.81. i have read that on the xlt if you order p235 AT they put on falcon wildpeaks AT3. Unfortunately i dont know if thats true. I did upgrade my tires on the FX4 which also comes with aluminum wheels p235 but i haven't taken delivery yet, so i will find out soon enough.
Congrats dude! Very nice review.👍👍👍 I want this tire for my Suzuki Vitara ALL GRIP. What is your opinion?
Subscribed. I have the same exact truck wanting to do the same thing.
Sweet! I'll have a lot more Maverick content coming up soon as I continue the build, as well as some other informational stuff about the truck. Appreciate the sub, hopefully you enjoy the rest of my content too!
Good video! Stock size is 235/65/17.
@Jeffrey Kane Thanks!
The stock tire on the FX4 XLT is 225, I promise haha. I still have them sitting in the shed!
The new Tremor however does have a 235 but they're Falken I think
would love to see a video about your experience with the infant car seat in the mav
I may be able to do a short one about that! I've actually been pretty happy with it so far. Fits well!
Is that a cargo net inside of your truck? What is it used for?
Great video mate. My question is how does the AT plus performs on the road? Any road noise?
Thank you!
They do well on the road. Certainly more road noise than the stock tires that come on the Mavericks, but not nearly as much as many other AT options like Toyos or K02s
How many miles were on the stock tires ? You know that new tires performance will be optimal vs 30-40K on em.
Watching / reading reviews my concerns here are noise and mud performance.
I was thinking of getting the scorpions but I probably won’t get them now
The AT PLUS Scorpions are great, just not the ATR. All my opinion of course, but I highly recommend still checking out the All Terrain PLUS 😁
As mediocre as the tires are, they are a good choice for the FX4 being that most Mavericks will rarely leave the road. They can handle very light off road use and they are quite civil on road.
They are just ok for sand and snow. They’ll serve the masses who buy Mavericks well. If you need more, buy more tire and/or vehicle to get more.
How do the two tyres perform on normal good roads. Is there more tyre noise and lesser grip ? Or do you feel just as confident on the more aggressive tyres as well ?
The stock ATRs perform great on road, even in wet conditions. No issues with them there at all. The new PLUS tires also handle great on the road. They don't have an insane tread like some other options out there so they still drive quite nice on pavement. Definitely some added road noise, but that's unavoidable with any true A/T tire that has some actual tread.
@@ckwoutdoors oh okay thanks.
I have a 2000 and 2019 Tacoma both have AT Scorpion Plus and I really enjoyed them! I drove into a one way trail at night with the slush/hard snow that was probably around 10 inches deep easy and although the truck went slowly. It did managed to go up the questionable slush/hard snow trail 4 miles uphill because there was just no way my truck was going to make it going backwards. I was obviously dumb in my decision but I was also damn happy that I didn't drive through the same scenario with my original stock oem because I would've been in real trouble. For my 2000 Tacoma, I have 285 and on my 2019 I have 265. It was my 2019 I drove into the snow with at midnight...lol. The AT Scorpion Plus does well on highway road and quite predictable...they are basically outperform the stock oem all seasons both on road and easily outperforms the stock oem off road anytime. Very manner road noise which I can really appreciate! From many reviews and usage, many agree that the ATR is pretty garbage and if you look around, you can get a real good deal with them. Walmart for examples has it for about $90 less per tires than what I would've gotten it if I purchased it elsewhere. It really pays to shop around. IMPORTANT NOTE....Make sure your tire pressure is set for what the tire is rated for or else! My tires are rated for 44 psi and I ran it at 32 psi as state for my Tacoma. Well, that didn't turn out well, every puddle on the highway that I ran over cause a slippage/slight lost of control which I was starting to worry. Went to the nearest gas station...pumped up those tires and it was light night and day. The reason I went with the Pirelli over the Falken or BFG is because of 1. Noise 2. Gas mileage 3. 90% of my travel are on highway road and occasional dirt.
Most of us bought this for the fuel mileage and the more aggressive tread you go will result in up to 4mpg less mileage. i know it happened to me 26 to 22 mpg.
It's true that more aggressive tread eats away at furl economy. However with the new tires I've only lost about 1 mpg and am still averaging 25 which is mostly city. A few highway drives I've done so far resulted in about 27-28 mpg. I bought the truck for its fuel economy too, but also as an adventure rig so it is really a great combination for me.
It also depends on the tire weight, a lot of true ATs are heavier because they have more threads, and a sturdier build than most non AT tires. You can swap true ATs on the maverick and face barely any MPG loss but if you switch to 50lb KO2s; yea you’ll see a bit mpg hit
Just 5 days to have maverick i have read everithing about it and u aee eight the oem atr arent really think all rounf tire. Thats why i am going to a 235 65 r17 at3 falken, they weight the same as atr 225 ,31lb . The atrplus pirelli in the same size as oem sre 29 lb, 2 minus stock. And think at3 are more at snowflake tread better patter mantaining the same weight. Slds
The fact that you are using a maverick for a "overlanding" platform...
Btw is this NJ?
It's worked fantastic so far 🤙 I grew up mobbing unibody wagons down trails and through snow to the windows... you don't need 100k of TRD Pro and accessories to overland lol. This is Northern FL
Will the Tremor be a way better off roader?
The Tremor is definitely a sweet looking truck! It includes a 1 inch lift from factory, as well as the ability to lock it in 4wd which the FX4 doesn't have. Most importnatly though, it has the rear twin clutch locking diff that can push power individually to either wheel as needed which is a big improvement.
I wouldn't say it'll be a WAY better offroader, since this is still a unibody Maverick, but itll certainly be a bit more capable straight from the factory than the FX4. As far as I know, the tires on the Tremor are the same ones though, so those may need to be swapped to unlock the true performance of the truck
My understanding is the Tremor comes with the falken wild peaks
@@runnerofthewild8722 It does! In a 235 width. A huge upgrade and a far superior tire!
@@ckwoutdoors Hopefully I should have my Tremor by next month
I want to set up for overloading so will be interested to see what you do with your FX4
this guy is going to be hooked on off-roading... next video : "I traded my Maverick for a 4runner" lol jk. cool video
Replaced my Perellis with Falken Wildpeak AT trails. Its a crime to call those Perellis All terrain.
It really is.. they are just a run of the mill street tire!
Very good for cheap all terrain tires scorpion
The Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus are a way more aggressive tire than Falken AT Trails.
My f-150 gets 26… granted I’m not 4X4 but it’s a actual truck and full size
You clearly attempted to spin the hell out of the stock tires. And you were much lighter on the throttle in the new ones. Pretty poor testing. Also most of the slipping in other obstacles was due to poor articulation. You could do this “off-roading” in racing slicks and it wouldn’t make a difference.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
I'll say this buy a full size TRUCK!!!! Sorry this is happening to you best of luck
What is happening to me? Lol I LOVE my Maverick and specifically do not want a full size truck 🙃
Stay classy! Fitting the perfect stereotype of a douche truck owner. How about nice brand new vehicle man? Geez people suck.
