They have some other options too.

I like them but only available in Canada, Japan, and Pennsylvania.
What a combo.

That dealer lists $32k for the Plus S, and I believe that's the French speaking part of Pennsylvania

First time out towing with the maverick. It did great! Highway / backroads I got about 28 mpg on the way there. Some freeway on the way home and closer to 24 mpg. Used a Bluetooth brake controller. Everything went really well.

I think any pop up, like the A-liners, are a great option for the Maverick. Good amount of space for the weight and easy to tow/park. Don't forget to account for all your passengers and extra gear when calculating your weight. I added the 4K tow package on mine because it's very easy to exceeds 2000 lbs even with a light trailer. The value proposition on the 4K tow was too good to pass up. You get a lot of extras for the price.

I have a 2023 Ecoboost, awd, Lariat, lux, copilot 360, has factory trailer hitch. I love the truck averaging 26.4. I have 4,000 miles on it and drive a lot at 80mph on the turnpike.
question is the next thing I want to get is a small travel trailer under 2,000 pounds for camping. Does anyone have one they pull, how does it handle, and any helpful info.
I have looked at the small scamp travel trailer. Just want a small 2 person with a bathroom and shower.
I don’t have 4K tow package or have a need for more than 2 people.

Have you looked at the Bushwhacker Plus 15 DS, it’s 1900 pounds sleeps 2, full kitchen , A/C, and has full size shower and separate toilet. I personally had the Bushwhacker 17FD it’s 2240 pounds and my Maverick towed it without issue. MPGs however dropped to 20.

We bought two of these new in the past and absolutly love them. Low profile which very much limits wind load which is what most of the pulling effort is on a travel trailer unless climbing. Well built units. Very comfortible. Camped in Colorado one year in sub zero temps and it did fine.
Hope it helps!

Those look awesome! I didn't see any that are sub-2000 lbs though so unless I missed some, I think these are limited to those with the 4k pkg.

My take is the truck is designed for a certain thrust limit of 2000 pounds. A standard travel trailer's wind load would be greater than what trailmanor unit have. It might be a balance out load that would be functional. Anyway, you might check them out!

Sorry. Not for me. Not something I wanna do at the end of a long drive.

I toured one of these, wondering if anyone has towed one.

weight specifications with wet bath is about 1,500.

This will probably be your best option based on your requirements. https://nucamprv.com/tag-trailer/2023-nucamp-tag-specifications/

I can also personally recommend https://www.tcteardrops.com/

However they are custom built, which will add some lead time. I do not know of any tailor under 2klbs with a bathroom.
