Do all FWD Mavericks actually have the same suspension parts? What are some of your payload capacities?

I ask this because I owned an XL Ecoboost FWD Mav for 8k miles. The last 7k miles were on 18" Bronco Sport wheels and Primacy Tires. Well I got my Lariat Lux Hybrid a couple weeks ago and I am certain it rides smoother and more planted. It also has 18" wheels and Primacy tires. One difference is the dealer didn't air down from the 45 PSI it ships with and I haven't chosen to change it because it rides so well. If anything I'd expect a higher PSI to lead to a harsher ride and that is definitely not the case comparing these two Mavs.

So to dig deeper I checked my door jamb and my payload capacity is 1435lbs. I know Ford has said it varies based on configuration.

Max payload varies and is based on accessories and vehicle configuration. See label on door jam for carrying capacity of a specific vehicle.

So I'm curious what other people have with their Mavs. If you care to share please include trim and whether it is an EB or Hybrid. This is only for the FWD group since AWD is very different.

My Hybrid XLT Lux w/CP360 and Remote Start and SIBL has a capacity of 1480lbs.

My Xl hybrid has a capacity of 1563lbs. No factory options. It rides great, tires at 35psi.

Mavericks with more options/accessories will be heavier and therefore less payload capacity.

Maverick has a longer wheelbase than Bronco Sport so generally will have a better ride.

The vehicle I’m comparing to was a Mav riding on Bronco Sport wheels and tires.
