Hybrid Doing Truck Things 📸

[LSchicago]

I deleted the hitch off my order to get it scheduled, it was literally the ONLY add-on, and I'd only put it there in the first place because it was so cheap, and then it became a constraint item (of course). Honestly, I'm past the point in my life when I see myself hauling anything that won't fit in the bed. Don't miss it, didn't need it.

Kept my hitch on, and it was built no problem. Received on day 344.

That's the main reason I wanted one. But I removed it from the order because at the time, the XL trim, Hybrid, and Hitch Receiver were all constraints. Shortly after removing it from the order, my truck was scheduled for production.

IIRC, the factory hitch receiver can be ordered and installed later, but would be pricey.

I would have done the same. SIBL was the popular constraint when I ordered so I got that after.

I noticed a lot more Hybrids in the wild now finally. But most of the ones I have seen don't have hitches. When asking why, I mostly get, "well, it's not like you can do much with it."

Well, I do much, my hitch came from the factory on my 2022 XL Hybrid. I have a moonroof, and center console plug as well. I installed the remote start system at the dealer so I can remote start it with the key fobs.

I have been wilding out as much off road as I can do in my Hybrid, I know the limits now. But to go further I return in the Tremor, then do Tremor things. I have driven and hauled in the snow , towed our tent trailer loaded down with the whole family [minus the dogs didn't have the softopper yet], I go to the dump, I tow a uhaul trailer loaded up to the dump, I have brought home 1000's of pounds of tile, I have road tripped, my Wife has road tripped in our XL Hybrid. We love our Mavericks.

I would say after 34000 miles in ten months the Hybrid does MUCH.

I attached some photos of MUCH.

I hope these help give a well rounded view of what you can do. Have fun booyah

How do you like those BF-Goodrich tires? Noisy on highway, ride quality, affect mpg?

Awesome! Glad you are enjoying your truck!

600 lbs of salt for the pool in the bed and you can barely tell.

Agreed! A 2,000lb towing capacity is a lot more than people realize. It can tow a fishing boat on it's trailer in most cases. There are travel trailers that can sleep several people that fit under that threshold. Scamp, Boler, Trillium and Roulotte here in Canada are just a few mfg's that have one or more models under 2,000lbs. Most people will be hauling air 90+% of the time anyways so why buy an F-150 when you can get a Maverick for half the price and three to four times the gas mileage?

Smooth, I actually thought that they were quieter than the stock tires. The 225/ 65 R17 rode hard, you felt everything and where louder I thought. Mpg going up to thre next size wider has been very noticeable. I'd say 0.25 mpg less if anything less.

I want to remind you these are BFGOODRICH Trail Terrain tires and not the BFGOODRICH AT, or KO's, which are more aggressive All Terrain tires. I will buy these tires from now on. I love them in all weather situations so far.

I waited a year to the date for my XL Hybrid. I love every bit of it.
