What’s the Ford Maverick? Fans of the Blue Oval would know it as the smallest pickup truck in the Detroit automaker’s range, at a whisker under 200 inches in length. While a hulking full-size pickup truck or potent mid-size pickup truck is nice to have, compact pickup trucks such as the Ford Maverick can zip around places with greater agility, while others may encounter difficulties. Based on Ford’s C2 platform the Maverick is only available as a four-door five-passenger crew cab, and sports a bed length of 4.5 feet.
However, being a compact pickup truck that also offers a front-wheel-drive hybrid variant means that the Maverick, on the surface, may not be viewed as a serious contender. The four-wheel-drive variant comes with a 2.0L turbo inline four-cylinder which isn’t exactly earth-shattering to read either. To combat that, Ford offers the Tremor package for the XLT and Lariat variants of the Maverick, starting in September 2022. It’s not just the Maverick that gets the Tremor treatment, but it’s also applicable to the Bronco Sport (the Maverick’s stablemate), Explorer, Edge, and Ranger.

Many parts are universal fit too, and if you’re unsure, just talk to an expert. Now, let us take you through what the Maverick Tremor brings to the table.
2023 Ford Maverick Tremor
The 2023 Ford Maverick Tremor is based on the four-wheel-drive Maverick, and it’s applicable for XLT and Lariat trim levels with the FX4 Off-Road Package.
The powertrain is a 2.0L EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine that puts out 250hp and 277lb-ft to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. A rotary gear selector is located on the center console for gear selection.
The Maverick is rated as standard to tow 2,000lbs, and the bed has a payload rating of 1,200lbs which is ample for a compact pickup truck.
XLT variants come with cruise control, remote start, a 4.2-inch LCD screen in the instrument cluster, and some cosmetic enhancements which are replaced upon the addition of the Maverick package. You can option heated and adjustable power seats, plus a leather-wrapped steering wheel if desired.
Moving to the top-tier Lariat trim brings leather-trimmed seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front bucket seats, powered seat adjustment, push-button engine start, and a power sliding rear window. On top of all this, you can also option a B&O sound system, SiriusXM satellite radio, GPS navigation.
What Does the 2023 Ford Maverick Tremor Package Include
Now let’s see what the Tremor Package adds to the mix. Actually, there are two packages under the Tremor tag. The Tremor Off-Road Package costs $2,995 MSRP, and the Tremor Appearance Package costs $1,495 MSRP.
The Tremor Off-Road Package builds on the 2.0L EcoBoost variant with all-wheel drive and FX4 off-road package as stated previously. This package includes a twin-clutch rear drive unit with rear differential lock function to enhance off-road capability. A mode selector enables easy selection of five dedicated drive modes, namely pavement, mud, sand, snow, and towing conditions. Remember that you can tow up to 2,000lbs.
The next nifty exclusive feature is Trail Control which operates like cruise control for driving off-road. You can define a set speed and the truck will manage throttle and brake to maintain it. You can fully focus your attention on steering.
The Tremor package brings some beefing up to handle the enhanced capability. This includes a one-inch lift, unique front and rear springs and shock absorbers, upgraded half shafts and a heavy duty transmission cooler.
How Does it Look Different?
Ford ensures that your Maverick Tremor looks different from a regular Maverick. Unique features include a special grille finish, blacked-out Ford logos, headlamps and taillamps for starters. The two front tow hooks receive signature Tremor orange accents.
When you tick off the Tremor Appearance Package box at purchase, you get even more customization. How about unique 17-inch aluminum wheels in a Tremor Orange and Dark Gray anodized finish? These are wrapped in standard all-terrain tires, making your Tremor off-road capable from the time it leaves the factory. A new lower front fascia enables a more aggressive approach angle, and there’s a steel skid plate for added protection.
The customization extends to the interior as well. The Black Onyx seats proudly showcase stitched Tremor logos and Tremor Orange accents. Other areas where the new color scheme is highlighted include the center console, door pulls, and register vents.
Key Takeaways
It’s clear that the Tremor Package (actually two packages), is a lot more than just a bit of aftermarket dolling-up. While the Appearance Package brings some cosmetic enhancements, they are not just chintzy doodads, but actually make the Maverick look purposeful.
The real magic comes with the Tremor Off-Road Package, where useful enhancements and under-the-skin upgrades ensure that your Maverick can handle a trail out-of-the-box. Of course, if you need to enhance its capability, we are right here to help.
