Hitch Baskets

Anyone thinking of using a hitch basket on the Maverick? Easy way to add extra cargo space.

Be careful of tongue weight. If it’s a class 3 hitch as someone here said, it won’t be an issue but I try to keep tongue weight right at 10% of max towing capacity.

Looks like it is a 400lb tongue weight when proper equipped. That could mean 4K tow package, though does seem to be class 3 hitch from both photos and spec sheet.

This would be useful to know. But until someone can park two Mavericks next to each other one with the 4K towing and within with the standard and really look to see if the hitch is any different I don't know if we can know for certain.
I don't plan on towing but a 400 lbs tongue weight would be super useful.

The 53Q is definitely class 3 it’s the hitch on the hybrid I am not sure about.

my liftgator requires a class 3 and a 7 pin connection, but the 7 pin adapter for 50$ is fine. All literature I have seen only talks about the 53Q option and the hybrid having a 2k tow capacity. The 53Q is not available on the hybrid and I question the long term issues of Ford installing a class 3 hitch on a vehicle designed for class 2 towing.

from the pictures I see, it looks like a 2in receiver. I am hopeful
