If you were towing almost the max weight and getting 21 mpg, you weren't stressing that thing at all. I have the twin of your Mav, color and trim, and I have also gotten 21 mpg when towing very close to the max weight (3800 lbs). I didn't feel it was too stressed at all and I was going 65 mph...

Wow, very AI, such informative.

Is that your Maverick and topper? Did you tow before and after that topper? If so, what differences did you notice? I have that same Flated topper on my shopping list once I start towing my race cars more often.

What is this 30 amp vehicle to trailer charger and how do you have it connected?

You appear to have a 22-24 FWD hybrid. My '25 4k tow AWD hybrid weighs a bit more, but also has a bit more power with the bigger motors and gear ratio change. That is good news for me. I plan on buying a trailer with a very similar weight and size soon. I was figuring that getting 15 mpg would...

Great questions, I have one of those tailgate shocks and I wondered if they would interfere when I saw the installation.

This looks pretty cool. It would keep the items I normally keep in the bed from sliding towards the front and make me open my rolling tonneau to retrieve them. I might have to pick one of these up. The flexibility to become a table is a fantastic addition, too.

Are you saying the engine will consume 1.5 gallons over 8 consecutive hours of idling? If that is the case, then with it only running twice an hour for a few minutes each time, according to the other guy’s observations, then that will be nothing. It would take a very long time for two small runs...

Wow, that is pretty sweet a dealer threw it in for free! What dealer was that?

Wow, those are expensive! The towing performance is worth that much money?

What all do you run with that 300 amp hours available and not even drain half of it in 2 whole days? I assume ACs are not able to be run off batteries. What kind of trailer do you have? Pics?

What is an Anderson hitch?

Thanks for that feedback! I already have several Noco chargers, so I can do that immediately. Did you track how often the truck would turn on? How long would it stay on the charge the battery?

What kind of mpg did you get? I am also in NM What was your power solution for those few days of boondocking? How do you like that tip out bed on the Sunlite? I want a very similar model of Sunlite, the 14THX.

It would also move cost up into the 50k range. I don't think the Mav is worth that much. I paid right at 40k for my '25 Lariat Hybrid 4k and that was a real stretch for me. I really like the idea of the 2.0 Ecoboost with the HF55 and other hybrid parts, but I really don't see the business case...

Geez, I liked the sound of the Powerboost, but Ford only puts them in a Lariat and up trim. I configured one for maximum towing and got to over 70k. That is 10k more than I specced a current Lightning to. I don't know if this EREV Lightning will be more or less than the current one. I certainly...

I had no idea the front area under the hood would be a convenient place to put an engine! Thanks for all your wisdom. How do you calculate that the frunk doesn't help that much? It is over 14 cu ft, which is bigger than a bunch of car trunks. I am not saying it is realistic to expect a...

We will see. Boxer engines exist.

There isn't some hard rule that the battery has to be where you think it should be. I can only hope Ford at least tries to keep the front trunk. People these days buy trucks all the time for the family vehicle, but they lose a sealed trunk. That is the sacrifice. Ford has the unique opportunity...

No, the gas generator supplies any battery power needed until it runs out. I imagine there will be a plug to let people charge it up, if they want. There really is no reason to not add a plug. Then I would just plug it in a normal outlet overnight and get a few miles of extra range for the...
