Over 3,000 miles towing my pop up.
Tows better than my 2006 F-150 and with better fuel economy.

How's this size?
I tow my 2021 Aliner Scout and fit 3 inflatable paddle boards in the bed.
Occasionally.... usually a trip to the landfill to dump yard waste, and a load of firewood rounds once or twice a year.

I'm surprised no one posted a camel tow
The good news is that a maverick with 4k can tow the thread over to the towing subforum!Noo.. not another towing thread...Staying far away from this one lol
[y'all with 2k are stuck here!]
At might height, I need a California King for the length, so . .More people tow with their Mavericks because the beds are so much shorter than other trucks.
Anyway, I never expected to tow with it, but ordered the 4k package (which wasn't much for a lariat) just for the extra cooling, as I live in the desert and can count on 117F days aren't rare in the summer.
But during production they added the assistance stuff, and I realize that it was so shiny that I would have to find something to tow, just to use it!
We'll be getting a plug in hybrid full size truck as soon as ford or dodge gets off its tail and ships. I was going to order a 2024 powerboost, but the options I insisted on (like cooled seats, and massaging seats) kept playing peek-a-boo with availability. I'm also on the [paid] waiting list for the dodge plugin that's coming as a late 24 model in 25Q1
).So a car hauler was already on my horizon. Then the guy that was supposed to have hauled my classics waiting repairs ghosted me, and I just bought the cheapest new 18 ft that could take over 6k I could find, figuring to replace it once I had a better idea what I wanted.
So it has about 2,500 out of the 4,000 available for payload, and I'll borrow something to haul the 1972 Cadillac on it.
