Ford gave the Maverick Tremor all the right rally hardware. Now all it needs is a few new lines of code.
But to make the most of this promising setup, the Tremor would have to allow the left-foot gravel-slinging shenanigans that make rally driving so much fun. Essentially: When you dive-bomb a corner on dirt, you need to be in the right gear and you've got to be able to slide around without the car shutting down the fun. To find out whether it likes to party, I took the Tremor to a dirt road that goes from nowhere to nowhere else and ends in a washout.
If the nannies could be banished, however temporarily, the Maverick Tremor could be a surprise hit with a crowd that Ford never considered courting. Less expensive than a WRX, with a pickup bed and a 2000-pound tow rating, a rally-ready Maverick Tremor would be a cult hit. Tell me there are at least five of you that are on board with this. Any tuners out there want to jailbreak a Tremor ECU?The Maverick Tremor already has the right hardware to start its own rally-truck niche.
