I hauled about 1700 pounds trailer and all with mine and had no issues. Got about 23mpg doing it. Just make sure you're in tow/Haul and not normal. Gives more power on takeoff

Maverick on order
I have a hybrid on order. Hoping to pull a 1700 pop up with it and curious how it will handle hills and mountains. Just got back from a trip with our Ranger and got between 15-19 mpg. Mileage in the 20's would be an improvement. I am just wondering how the hybrid does in those conditions.

Didn't do mountain driving but have some good hills. In tow/Haul today I went 53 miles hauling my trailer and a big heavy table and chairs (complete brain fart on not getting a photo). Got 36mpg. I stuck mostly to two lanes since I didn't have the chairs strapped down great, just the table.

It tows surprisingly well. Even on the highway before the worst mpg I got was 23 running 70mph in the cold and heavy wind.
