From the dunes and washes outside Cave Creek, two distinct Can‑Am rigs—an aggressive Maverick X3 Max Turbo and the luxuriously equipped Defender Lone Star Max—deliver a three‑day window to test turbo power, long‑travel suspension, or a climate‑controlled off‑road cab. Both machines are street‑legal and cleared for trail use, giving renters a full 72 hours to explore the Arizona desert at their own pace.

THE MACHINE

2024 Can‑Am Maverick X3 Max Turbo — performance and comfort

The Maverick X3 Max Turbo is a four‑seat, turbocharged SXS with increased suspension travel and a longer wheelbase for a smoother ride across desert terrain—built for spirited exploration with automatic transmission and seating for up to four people.

THE LUXURY OPTION

Can‑Am Defender Lone Star Max — comfort meets utility

The Defender Lone Star Max offers a full‑cab enclosure, HVAC, JL Audio roof system and flexible seating (six seats with recommendation of up to four adults plus two children under 12), making it the choice for a more relaxed, climate‑controlled off‑road experience or utility work on remote properties.

THE RENTAL PACKAGE

72 hours of street‑legal, trail‑ready driving

Rentals are sold in 72‑hour blocks with the Maverick RS Turbo 4‑seater and the Defender Lone Star Max each listed at $1,800; machines are street‑legal so you can drive them from the shop straight to the trails.

What the day feels like

What three days behind the wheel feels like

A 72‑hour rental buys time to find rhythm on desert singletrack, test the Maverick’s turbo torque and long travel suspension, or enjoy the Defender’s climate‑controlled cabin while ferrying gear. You pick up at the operator’s location, drive the street‑legal rig to nearby trails, and return after up to three days of off‑road driving.
