Thanks! Interesting that Maverick and Ranger had to share a page while the other 1,000 Ford models got a full page. LOL
Yes. Assume you meant "Neutral tow" (being towed) mode. And not tow/haul mode.
Yes, flat tow mode. My bad.
2024 FORD RV & TRAILER TOWING GUIDE

Help me Ronda... Help, Help me Ronda....
Now for the big dummy question of the day...
Refer to the spreadsheet above..I had no idea what GCWR is, till I googled it:
GCWR stands for Gross Combined Weight Rating, which is the maximum total weight of a vehicle and any attached trailer, including cargo and passengers. It is important for ensuring safe towing and vehicle operation.
I recalled you could carry 1500 pounds in the bed.. but now I know about this GCWR...
So whats a 2024 Maverick hybrid weigh??? Google becomes my friend with:
" The curb weight of the 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid is approximately 3,673 pounds. "
So 6045-3673 equals 2372.
I'm looking at a Sunset RV Sunray 109E.. It weighs 1705. Leaving me. 667 pounds..
minus 220 for me.. equals 447 pounds. under...my Honda 400 ATV weight 375. leaves me 72 pounds..
So socks, hotdogs and a quart o buttermilk still puts me under.....
If anyone is interested in a Sunray 109E it looks like this.. Only I'd get white with blue trim.
tows with a 2 inch ball.. Rear outdoor kitchen. Lot's of people chuck the 700 watt microwave. as it requires shore power, so with a 2 burner stove a propane-12V-110V fridge.. I won't starve..
I also wonder if the full size spare tire has the same 5 lug pattern as the maverick spare and why not chuck it for a donut to save weight..or venture out with just 1 spare.. Ford duallys have only 1 spare. and 6 tires on the ground.
The ramps become the cargo side rails FYI.. Also I'm seeing these new on the internet for under $13K.. I've seen 3 used in the last 3 months but far far away..

Offload the Honda ATV, @375# and i can haul a girlfriend and our electric bikes. NO LAUGHING---We're in our 70's... Also what about the guys with electric mobility scooters.
Final thought.. I am a ham radio operator. Call sign W8LM. We have conventions and flea markets swap-n-shops all over the country. Almost every weekend all year.. Sometimes they are called eyeballs and a club (3905ccn.net) I am a charter member founded in 1977. Their eyeball in
Oklahoma City. about 170 miles from me. they always have it at a park or someplace with camping. I can always use the cargo area for hauling radio equipment, or extra tents or a picnic table.. Many time you cannot get a motel room for any amount unless you book 6 months to a year in advance.. I pulled a 5x8 utility trailer with about 800 pounds of radios on it a month ago. I got 27.5mpg.. I usually use my 2002 GMC 2500HD duramax and I can't get that mileage empty. and it rides like a truck.. I only get 23mpg empty.. but i can haul a backhoe. It's 24 years old time to retire it from long trips..
Now this camper is also available as a 109.. without the cargo utility area and it's weight is 1475#
This does have electric brakes and I understand there are aftermarket wireless electric brake packages..
Thanks for reading.. Now to find a RV dealer who won't rip me off..
