The Ford Maverick is getting some muscle.<\/p>\n

The 2023 Ford Maverick Tremor is a new off-road version of the compact pickup coming this fall.<\/p>\n

It’s technically a package of equipment that can be added to the Maverick’s XLT or Lariat trims that’s similar to the Tremor options already offered on the Ranger, F-150  and F-Series Super Duty.<\/p>\n

It includes a retuned suspension and a 17-inch wheel and all-terrain tire package that increase its ground clearance to 9.4 inches, which is .8 inches more than the other all-wheel-drive Maverick models.<\/p>\n

\"Preproduction <\/p>\n

\n (Ford)<\/p>\n

It only comes with the Maverick’s 250 horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with all-wheel-drive, but gets a special twin-clutch rear differential borrowed from the Bronco Sport that can be locked for maximum traction.<\/p>\n
