It's not straightforward to put some plywood in an open bed?
I think it's because of the Mavs tricked out bed, with gate setting to hold up the plywood. The ranger requires acrobatics. Not too hard, but not 'turn key' like the mav.

Had my Maverick for several weeks now and been traveling to some acreage we just closed on a few hours out of town. I find the seating more comfortable and really love the hybrid mileage. Was a great change for me but everyone has different needs.

Not in the 5G Ranger, as a 4x8 sheet won't fit flat between the wheel wells. ?
That oversight has been corrected on 6G Rangers.:like:

Yes the black package looks great with cactus grey, they did take the chrome off the fender badge but still have the chrome lug nuts, which I have since changed out.

Looks like the 2025 Maverick was officially unveiled today.

A few tweaks here and there with the biggies being AWD available with the hybrid and a new Lobo trim that is street performance oriented.

Lobo looks pretty good.

I've never tried. I just heard that it wound not sit flat on the floor because of the wheel wells.

When I haul long stuff in my bed I usually put some 2x4s or something in the bed onto the closed gate to have something to support the material, so it sits on something and doesn't chew up the spray in liner.

Cool. No scab, apparently, but AWD Hybrid is a plus. I guess I don't really understand the Tremor package on an AWD, but they also have an FX4, so whatever. If they can sell it, then good for them I guess.

Oh, and I would probably get the FX4 for the skid plates, but I've never done any rock crawling with my Ranger, so def wouldn't be doing it with a mav.
Poked around a bit on the 2025 Mav build site. You can't get a Lariat FX4. Thats a real bummer. The FX4 would give you skid plates, AT tires, larger radiator, and drive mods for sand, mud, etc. That's a real bummer to not have the option on the Lariat without going up to the Tremor, but I guess that what they want you to do.

Maybe you will be able to add the drive mods with forscan, and then you could add new wheels/tires. The radiator probably wouldn't be an issue for my personal needs.

Oh, hey! Want to know something else that sux? The new Mav Tremor can't get the towing package. XLT and above comes standard with a 2K towing option and 4 pin connector, but you can add a tow package to get to 4K with a 7pin connector and brake controller. EXCEPT, not on the Tremor.

How about them beans, eh? No Lariat FX4, and no tow package for a Tremor. Now that there is BS.

The Mav tailgate can be set in a half-way open position. 4x8 plywood can be put on top of the wheel wells and supported by the tailgate. :thumbsup:
