I like the Maverick so much I have one on order. It can do 99% of what I need a pick up for. If you want to tow a travel trailer do not buy this vehicle, buy a full size or heavy duty truck. While the Maverick and mid-size trucks can handle their tow rating, you don’t want to be in one when you’re in an open area and crosswinds hit you. I’ve done it in a full-size truck and it’s nerve racking. It would be downright terrifying in a mid-size or compact pickup.

Thank you so much for this extremely helpful review. I have been pulling a 3,300 pound dry weight Vintage Cruiser RV with a 1991 Mercury Colony Park. Someone finally decided to make a pickup that appears to be quite enjoyable to use a daily driver, but I have been hesitant to pull the trigger not knowing whether the Maverick could genuinely handle the travel trailer. As opposed to Hyundai with the Santa Cruz, Ford knows towing as well as anyone, so in my way of thinking I trust a 4K rating from Ford more than a 5K rating from Hyundai. At any rate, this excellent review confirms that I can pull the trigger and retire the Colony Park to car show duties. Thanks again!

Yep been there and done that, just traded in the HD and picked up a smaller truck. Love the midsized trucks that are now out. Got tired of simply driving a massive HD through tons of traffic and parking it. Sold the camper and simply moved on, sad to say, most people who drive bigger or larger trucks, really don’t need them… just for show… when are people going to wake up and realize, that it’s a big waste of money if your not working that truck or pulling on a constant basis.

Gasoline is a little over 6 lbs per galln and the Maverick will hold 16 gallons so that's 100 lbs. A lot of people who are pullng a trailer will toss a couple 5 gallon cans in the back to assist with the driving range on a tank, which when towing is not much over 200 miles. So you're really pushing it to use a trailer like this. In our experience, the problem with towing with a small truck is braking (also mentioned by others), cross winds, and being passed by semi trucks, especially on twisty roads. You really dont want a pucker experience whe towing a trailer.

I currently have a 2018 F-150 with the 2.7 and I use it to tow my 2400 lb, 18 ft. travel trailer. It hauls it really well and the gas mileage is pretty good.

There are a lot of camping trailers that are ultralight that weigh under 4000 pounds, so there’s really no limitations. I do wish that maybe they could’ve gotten 5000 out of this Truck. But 4000 is still not a small number you can definitely still tow all your toys that you have.
@RedHawkish2 жыл бұрын
Did you say hitch weight is about 540 pounds? According to Maverick towing guide, you should not exceed 400 pounds on the hitch. So you guys were over hitch weight by 140 pounds?

I think the Maverick is impressive. It is a compact 'truck'.

I was on their build your own site recently and the cost to upgrade to the Ecoboost wasn't bad at all but that was upgrade is way too expensive. I don't think it's a good buy once you option it up into the mid 30s. But for under 30 it's a damn good deal. Maybe into 32 or 33. But almost 37 for this one is a tough sell

Its on an escape platform and i have the escape. Didnt want it but it is super useful. Got the 2.0 ecotec which is most powerful for the vehicle and i can tow 3000lbs.

Good review. Wouldn't have mind seeing how to set the brake controller up though. The good news is, like how a lot of trucks I see driving around in my area, the Maverick can haul air just as well as a fullsize HD truck.

I think a lot of people are looking at the Maverick in terms of Newer Rangers or Colorados, when really it should be looked at like the older Rangers/Mazdas or S-10s. My S-10 did everything I needed, I suspect the Maverick would be about perfect for the same use cases.

It would be great if we could get Ford to actually listen regarding basic things that the Maverick needs to make available: fog lights, electric rear window defroster, basic cruise control in the XL, heated and ventilated front seats...

This was exactly the review I was looking for. I'm still waiting to receive my Maverick, but my wife and I are also looking to buy a camper, and have 1 we are set on. Seems the numbers are all comparable. At 3400 lbs dry weight, it would seem that we made a good choice.
@alanpipkin82122 жыл бұрын
Now the question will be how it will do on longer trips. Being military and moving every 3 years, the camper will be valuable during moves.
@AO-mx9tk2 жыл бұрын
@@alanpipkin8212 You may want to reconsider. That camper is going be well over 4k when loaded up. Also, high wind and passing semis are going to blow that small truck and camper all over the highway. A ranger may be better suited for a camper that size or go for a pop up instead. I'm a vet too and have made the mistake before of towing with an undersized tow vehicle. No fun at all.

Conservative Numbers--- Driver and Passenger combined weight 400lbs plus empty Tounge weight of 500lbs as shown only about 350lbs left of payload available... Kinda cutting it close for real world use But, great way to show the top end of towing availability. 👍
