First trip out towing a Casita trailer.

[Pknopp]

Ok....so first time out in the Maverick. We didn't go real far for the first trip.

I got a stated 22.4 mpg. I know it likely wasn't quite that high but still. Camper as it sits is likely 2400 lbs or so.

I averaged around 65 mph. Ran it up to 70 to just get the feel. Coming from a Honda Ridgeline it did feel smaller but quickly felt fine.

Truck looks nice and level. I bet it was a nice ride.

Decent.

This isn't a huge campground but there is another light blue Maverick. XLT. It does have a tow package but no hitch at the moment so I don't know if he pulled that trailer or not.

How do you like the casita? I have been eying the heritage deluxe. I know it’s off topic, sorry! Glad to hear the Maverick was up to the task.

22mpg is not bad. I averaged roughly 12mpg when I towed with my EcoBoost.

 

[Cancunbadlands]

As expected

What year model is your Maverick? Is it AWD with the 4K tow package?

It says 2026 Lariat under his screen name!!

Fun fact!

Users cannot see that using a phone in portrait (vertical) orientation, but can in landscape (horizontal).

It's unfortunately not quite that simple. It is dependent on the user's mobile browser zoom/text size settings. If text is small enough, it can be seen in portrait orientation, and if set large enough it can't be seen in either orientation.

At least that's the case for Chrome and Firefox for Android.

For us it works great. Just the wife and I and a small dog.

I hope OP is using tow mode exclusively. Running low on battery while towing is a painful experience.

Cool little camper. But....find somebody to put a blue sky overlay on the mountain graphics. A color that matches the truck ... which looks very nice. Did you stop at a car wash before this picture was taken ??

Naw.

You can use any mode based on conditions and your preferences.

I use tow mode but not exclusively.
You probably will NOT want tow mode in stop n go traffic, parking lots, or campgrounds for example.
