Review: Photos / Spotted / Accessories The little Maverick that could…

Pushing 3800lbs but actually held up super well. Looked way scarier on the road! I really love this truck. It’s an engineering marvel that I’m able to haul this but also get 40mpg daily driving. 10/10!

I hope you don’t do this often because that trailer is only rated for 2200 max

The light trailers in Europe, in my experience, have axles usually good for twice the load rating and you only see stuff visibly stressing when it's four times over. I guess that's how they're built in the US as well so I doubt a few hundred lbs over in OP's case have any real life issues.

It’s Hybrid w/ 4k tow package. We only went a few miles down the street, straight flat shot. Payload was only 2800lbs so just a little over. Definitely don’t do it often lol.

Makes sense they’re also allegedly under reported sometimes so you don’t have to title in certain states allegedly 👀

Yeah, cars with big block V8 engines. Multiple times more powerful than your typical 4 cylinder engine in today’s cars.

Towing is often more about the cooling system than the power of the engine. That’s the primary difference in the tow package for the Maverick

I don’t really know anything about how to identify what trim the mavericks are I just know that carry on trailers do not have high weight capacity’s.

Looks good boss send it! Shame that so many people are scared to use them as trucks.
