Can a 2024 Hybrid tow a heavier trailer for a short distance.

Meh. I’d do it.
There are obviously smarter plans than using your hybrid Maverick but my Git’r dun attitude would take over and I would find myself hitching up anyway.

After all, people tow heavy aircraft with old electric golf carts, that were only designed to carry two golf bags and two butts, ever day at GA airports. Granted, they are just moving them a short distance around the ramp and at very slow speeds.

If you do it, perhaps consider a pilot vehicle in front and behind you and the trailer.
Also consider, if that trailer is going up and down over bumps the pin weight is going to be exponentially higher when it pushes down on the hitch. GO SLOW.

These weigh less than your Maverick.
Some models have the same payload capacity of your Maverick.
Some have MORE TOW RATING than your Maverick.

How is this possible?

A) slow speeds
B) not regulated or very loosely regulated

In a side-by-side, the Polaris Ranger XD 1500 and the John Deere Gator XUV are strong contenders, with the Ranger XD 1500 offering 3,500 pounds and the Gator XUV up to 4,000 pounds of towing capacity.
