I towed a 2018 Ford Focus with "Little Britches" it ran beautifully and got 20 MPG.

That's a really cool boat.....who is the mfg'r?

It is a Keith Steele style MacKenzie River drift boat hand built from plans, lots of wood and a little brass.

Chesapeake Light Craft Teardrop trailer. About 400lbs. My Hybrid tows it like it's not even there.

I am towing a 2010/806 Jayco pop up camper which weighs about 1350#s and I don’t even notice it behind me. I own a fully loaded XLT with 4K tow and off-road. Love it.

Cool! I knew they made some great boat kits (I've come close to ordering a few) but didn't know they had the teardrop kit.

My Maverick has towed my Mission aluminum utility trailer and the Triton clamshell double snowmobile trailer seen in the background.

The utility trailer has now been modified a bit for use as a single snowmobile trailer.

It tows either of them with ease but really needs extension mirrors for towing the clamshell... it's too wide to see behind.

I agree. When I towed with my Tacoma I felt like the Tacoma was wider and punching a hold in the world and I could see behind and around the camper pretty easily. With the narrower Maverick I really sense the width of the trailer back there.

Here is my tow.

Sweet! I had a '68 MG B in blue metal flake with the original wire wheels w/ knockoffs. It was gorgeous. I was a fool to sell it, but in fairness I was only 19 and there was a redhead involved... Wish I still had it!

I also had a '66 Astin Healey Sprite (Midget clone) in British Racing Green. It was fully fitted out for SCCA racing - complete with 5-point seat belt harness and a massive roll bar. That harness was fun to explain to my dates as I helped them "strap in."

Funny story - at my high school, a construction group trailer parked taking up 8-9 parking spaces (already at a serious premium)... I just parked the Sprite under their trailer... My own private "covered parking space." I think it really pissed off the site manager, but what was he going to do about it?

Two small jet skis, a small trailer with two ATVs and also a small 1800lb tear drop camper.

What is weird is the tow capacity of the US hybrid Rav4 is 1,750lbs but the European one is over 3,600lbs no mechanical changes whatsoever. Possible difference is due to J2807 towing standards in the US but not sure. My intended towing is all sub 2,000lbs so the hybrid will be good for that

What make/model do you have for jet skis? we are thinking about getting some

 

[Hardening2753]

I do not have the truck yet but I will be throwing this on a tailgate pad and the the other in the bed. There is a nice lake near to the place I mountain bike so I will cool down there after a long day in the heat. The kayak is good enough for class 1-3 whitewater and the bike solid enough for entry to mid level rides.

Let's have some details. What is the length and weight of that camper. Looks great!

Thanks. Looks like a fairly roomy setup and still plenty light enough, when fully loaded, for a Maverick equipped with the 4K Towing package.

How do you find the drive when pulling it?

How many miles did you tow it? And how was the mpg?
