Nice! I replaced a 2008 F-350 King Ranch with my 2022 Maverick. I get "ribbed" a lot from my buddies but as I tell them, "I can take a lot of "ribbing" for $60K"!

Dude! That is awesome! Love your pics! Great setup! I have fished PK since college and I’m now 55 years old. Know exactly where you were in the lake. Beautiful lake in Texas! Looks like you had a blast!!!

Great pics and info!! Thank you so much for doing this!!!

Great questions.

I don’t see it that way. There are several posts on here about weak front axle and it being a problem with the Mavericks. It’s only common sense that if you put a load on top of that it will exacerbate the issue.

I’m just posting my experience and warning that this can happen. So if you have 2 identical mavericks with weak front axles but one of them is towing 3000lbs I don’t think it’s that large a leap to assume the one towing would probably crap out first. Seems like common sense to me.

My post is a warning that this could happen. It happened to me. I love that there are other great towing experiences with the Maverick. I’ve liked every other aspect of mine. Just had a bad experience at the beginning of a long 5 day trip and want others to beware.

I think you said it best in your quotes

Tow/haul

Glad you have had no problems. I’ve had the boots replaced once after they started leaking and then the axle replaced just last week on this trip I took from San Antonio area to Colorado.

I was about 600 miles shy of the 36,000 mile warranty although it’s a powertrain issue which is 5 year 60,000 miles

Well that’s when it failed, when I was towing. Maybe it wasn’t the cause but I’d think if it’s a problem already towing would exacerbate it.

They replaced front axle.

AWD with tow package. Not sure what else I have to say. I was towing a 3000lb camper dry and the Maverick started pulling to the right little as if I had a flat. I pulled over, got out and the driver front wheel well was smoking. It was the grease from the bearings being thrown out and the...

Be careful out there when towing. I have a 2022 2.0L. I towed a 3000 lb camper about 300 miles then had to be towed. I think the engine can handle it just fine but its front legs cannot. Had to get a whole new front axle!
