It 100% depends on the exact on board battery charger your trailer has.
Should be able to charge a LiFeP04. I will be replacing my stock battery with a Wattcycle 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 https://a.co/d/02JU1yK3 . Half the weight and twice the capacity. I also bought solar panels.
With a Lariat you can get a Noco Genius 10 amp battery charger and plug it into the bed's 120v outlet to charge the trailer battery as you drive. The charger stays inside the bed, just run the wire on the 12v side under the tailgate and tape it loosely along the trailer's tongue so it doesn't fall off
I have a 2024 hybrid. Everything I read says that I could not tow much more than a jet ski.Had our first camping trip with the Trailer this past weekend! The past few years we have been tent camping and it was time for an upgrade! What an awesome experience it was. We picked a close camp ground for the first trip to make sure everything worked with our new Trailer. It was only 20 minutes from our house but it felt like a different world for 2 days. I always said I wanted a cabin in the woods and now we have a little cabin we can take places! The weather was chilly. It got down to the upper 30s one night and only upper 50s during the day. It also rained for a while. But the heater in the camper worked great and sitting by the fire at night listening to the owls with a full moon was awesome! The kids had a blast. You know its a good trip when they are crying when we had to head home. My wife had a blast and our dog loved exploring everything!
My Maverick handled the trailer (2025 jayco jay flight slx 170bh) without an issue. I would say loaded the trailer was around 3200lbs (empty its 3000lbs). Tongue weight was probably just under 400lbs (empty its 300lbs). It was all back roads to the camp ground with some very steep hills. Max speed on some of the roads I was going 55 (50 speed limit). Averaged around 15mpg. Can't wait for more adventures!
22-24 Hybrids can only tow 2,000lbs with the tow package. For 2025 the Maverick was refreshed and the hybrid got a lot of improvements. The 25 and newer hybrids can tow 4,000lbs with the tow package.
part of the 4k capability comes from the AWD option added for 25+ models that 24 and older didn't have.
Depending on who you talk to you will get different opinions on the LiFePO battery charging. I have some experience in this area and here is my opinion. From the truck 7 pin you will probably get some trickle charging, with charge voltage to the trailer LiFePO battery limited by the voltage drop in the wiring. The truck has 10 or 12 AWG wire to the 7 pin and the voltage drop in the wire will probably be the limiting factor before the fuse in the 7 pin battery line. If the truck had larger wiring and fuse the LiFePO battery would probably take more current than the alternator could supply. I don't like this condition since it's not a design controlled charging situation. For my trailer with a 200 AH LiFePO battery I put a 30A DC to DC charger in the trailer and ran separate 6 AWG wiring and connectors from the truck battery to the trailer DC to DC charger. I use the 7 pin battery line which is switched with ignition only for enabling and disabling the DC to DC charger.
Ok thanks I think I got most what you are explaining. Not a big electrical guy but I did buy a 2048wh Ankor C2000 gen 2 power station. Since it has a 30amp connector that can connect to the trailer for boon docking. In order not to waste fully charge the trailer battery I need to turn the converter off.
