Last year when I was at the dealership taking delivery of my Maverick. The salesman and I were talking about the tow package on the truck. Well I mentioned I was taking the Maverick in to have a fifth wheel installed in the bed. His jaw dropped, not knowing I was joking with him. So I one day I saw a large trailer in a parking lot and pulled up next to it to take this joke photo to send the salesman.

Looks like a ball type hitch. Can’t imagine how the ball/plate hooked to the bed, since no frame under it.Last year when I was at the dealership taking delivery of my Maverick.

Well, I’m not sure of weight, but did haul bed full of river rocks. Was told estimated maybe 1,100#. And also haul load of organic dirt. That estimated close to 900#. I laid down a heavy duty tarp inside the bed to help with clean up after we shovel most of load in wheelbarrows.

I can see the front support/jacks on the ground. The idea of a gooseneck trailer, any, is enticing.

It would pull that ok, unloaded. Just as shown.Last year when I was at the dealership taking delivery of my Maverick. The salesman and I were talking about the tow package on the truck.

In the bed for me? About 1300 lbs.
I put air bags in the rear springs for comfort. Still needed to adjust headlamps aim DOWN quite a bit.
Easy to do with one screw.
EVERYONE - PLEASE ADJUST YOUR HEADLAMP AIM driving at night with more than a couple hundred pounds in the bed. Super fast and easy to do with just a screwdriver. I'm shocked and disappointed this isn't automatic.
I mean; the truck can "self center" in a lane at 85 mph but it can't auto-level the headlamps? Dumb. It's so easy to do. Could also be on a switch like your side mirrors.

So quick and EASY just DO IT with any trailer or bed load. You and other drivers can thank me later.

Hauled a yard of raised garden bed soil - no sure of the weight - but wife and I agreed that if
there was a next time it would be 1/2 a yard.... Truck was definitely loaded down. Hauled full yards
of mulch multiple times - no issues - the soil was quite a bit heavier!
Edit: - so I was more than likely over the 1500 payload of the Twuck.
1 cubic yard of dry soil topsoil weighs about 2,000 pounds
