How many have needed to tow a trailer.

[Hunters Edge]

Okay one prerequisite before purchasing. The reason I have 5 trailers. I would have liked a little bit more than 4k but I decided to make it work. Now a lot of threads either asking how to increase the towing from the standard 2k or trading in even to other vehicles with higher towing capabilities.

Also many posts on I don't tow or will never tow. So this got me thinking. I decided a poll if you tow or will never tow.

Keep in mind even a small trailer and under 2000lbs is still considered a yes for towing.

This is my old mav with my boat. Lost the Maverick and got a new one. It tows the same boat.

Replaced my 150 because there is finally a hybrid that can tow my 3,500 pound yardwork trailer. Big stuff goes behind the 250.

If I need to trailer anything I either use the goose on the right or the 10' Carry On on the left. The Maverick can handle the utility trailer and the antique JD horse draw sickle mower in the background.

Never say never - but I said never.

I’m guessing the “will tow” far outnumber the “have towed”?

Tows my sled trailer like a dream!

Have 4K but this trailer setup is around 2000 lbs total with two sleds, oil, spares, tools, etc.

Don't those tend to be pretty wide, any issues seeing around it?

Yes, they are pretty wide. Mine is 8 feet wide. No major issues seeing around it, I can see the trailer's blindspot and don't feel the need to put my mirror extenders on when towing it.

Yes, my baby tent trailer, towed numerous times a year.

So who is going to be the first to add a 5th wheel ?

I towed my motorcycle 1000miles and got the 4k tow pack for the add ons also

I have towed rented utility trailers full of junk and dirt, and two different campers. My first Mav was a 2023 hybrid with only 2K towing, when that was totaled I upgraded to a 2025 hybrid with the 4K tow package.
