If Maverick ends up anything close to typical F150, adding tow hooks/rings to a non-AWD Maverick might be a challenge. Even if it's a non-FX4 AWD it might be problematic. Don't know enough front end part details yet on Maverick (bumper, air dam, valance, etc.).
An example of F150 difficulty...
If I was looking at buying a mini-truck and prioritized function over form i.e. ability to tow on a semi-regular or regular basis I’d cross-shop the SC. MPG’s on both non-Hybrid Maverick and SC are around the same. SC has slight edge on total possible payload capacity. “Max. Load Trailer Weight”...

Extended Service Plans are love 'em or hate 'em topics. Really depends on how long you're really going to keep a vehicle. The 3 year/36k mile limited warranty on non-powertrain, non-hybrid components will get expended pretty quickly. Most all vehicles these days are rolling circuit boards; over...
Eco mode - my frame of reference for how this will likely feel is my 2017 Honda CR-V and my 2018 F150, both of which have it.
Eco mode "dampens" throttle response. Very noticeable change in my CR-V when using Econ mode versus when it's off. Around town/city driving is where this works best. On...
