Just got back from a camping trip with my 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid, and I’ve got to say—it’s the perfect adventure setup! I used a @leitnerdesigns rack for my gear, a @outdoorantidote rooftop tent for easy sleeping, and made some lighting and grille upgrades to make it look and perform even better. Whether on winding dirt roads or cruising highways, the Maverick delivered great fuel efficiency and versatility. Anyone else using their Maverick for camping? Let’s see those setups!
Nice rig, Joaquin! I don’t have a rooftop tent, but I tow a motorcycle tent trailer instead. Works great for me!

That’s awesome! How much do campsites usually cost in your area?
@Freddie
It really depends. Backcountry sites can be free or up to $40. Front country ones go from $18 to $90 per night.
What made you go with the Leitner rack instead of something like Xtrusion? I didn’t even know Leitner made a rack for the Maverick.

The Leitner rack has a sliding rear load bar, which lets me use the bed for taller items. Super versatile for my needs!
That grille looks sharp! Was it hard to install? How’s the quality holding up so far?

Thanks! It wasn’t too bad to install, and so far, the plastic is holding up well—no fading yet. Fingers crossed it stays that way!
Love seeing other Maverick camping setups! I’ve got a 2023 with an iKamper mini on the bed rack. Haven’t done as many mods yet, but I plan to.

The iKamper looks great! What mods are you thinking of adding next?
@Freddie
Probably better lighting and maybe a fridge setup for longer trips. Still exploring options.
Considering a solo trip up the Dempster Highway in Canada to the Arctic Ocean this summer in my hybrid. Following this thread for inspiration!

That sounds epic! Definitely post pics if you make the trip—your Maverick will crush it on those roads.
