  • Hey everyone, Kevin here. I figured I’d start a CZcams channel that felt a little more personable as I brought you all along on my adventures. Florida can be a tough state to camp in. I usually camp twice a week from November until March with friends. I still camp through the summer, just not as frequently as other adventures seem to take up the long summer days. I work rotating 12 hour shifts that allow me to have off 14+ days a month. Combine that with my sense of adventure and I'm able to see what the states really have to offer. So please, go ahead, subscribe and follow along for some fun outdoor adventures!

      Not bad for running on street tires. It doesn't have the ground clearance to do more technical trails, but there are plenty of places you could go in a Maverick. A lot of forest service roads aren't much worse than gravel back roads. Just use a little common sense and have fun.

      @@jeffreysmall8902 They also had solid axles. The unibody isn't an issue, but the suspension is a limiting factor. I'm kind of surprised that no one has come out with a long arm lift kit for the Maverick yet. If you could get more clearance and travel it would do pretty well off-road.

    Hey brotha I absolutely love that it’s all stock. I have a 2023 Frontier S trim and I love it and it’s been very capable as a stock truck. Keep doing it for the practical guys that still love trucks and off-roading and just being in nature. It’s not always about the gear one has but more than willingness for adventure. Most modern day pickups are very capable regardless of size and weight.

    We both released vids on the same day. Nice job! Mine is the regular AWD with Conti street tires which I doubt would make it up that hill. But they really surprised me that I did not have to put chains on all winter, even in this huge snow year in Park City. Like you, I don't want to get rid of perfectly good tires. I will get ATs on another set of rims to make it easy to swap. Then I can go up trails like you did.

    While out riding I saw a k5 blazer on 37s trying to climb something similar to this. Tried it about 4 times and failed. Here comes a small 2 door jeep with street tires that looked to be about size 28s, crawled up with almost no wheel spin. The k5 driver was pissed and just left. It's amazing what lockers or a system like this maverick can do. Open diffs are definitely a thing of the past.

    Hey guys, great video. I am a born and raised a Floridian. Lived in Florida my entire life until I retired to a ranch in Montana. I have dirt biked and 4 wheeled everywhere where from Crooms to Ocala. But I have to tell you, with all those years of experience, when I first went off roading here, it was like I knew nothing. There is so much more knowledge needed to 4 wheel here. And it’s way more fun. Not hating on you at all, just saying you would love wheeling in the mountains. Good luck guys! Keep having fun.

    Damn, that's really impressive. I'm possibly looking to replace my Subaru Crosstrek soon-ish and between this and a Forester, I'm kinda leaning towards the Maverick at the moment. I'd really be sold if they made a hybrid AWD version. Then at least I'd probably get better fuel economy in the city and close enough on the highway.

    • @OverlandFlorida
      @OverlandFlorida  Před 8 měsíci +2

      The best part is the EcoBoost has a real transmission and not a CVT like the Subaru. It still gets great MPG. I can get 33 empty with my maverick when it was stock.
