How did you get FWD with 4k?

It's my understanding that 4k requires AWD.

Old post. FWD was our original order. Now changed to AWD. Ford paying for the upgrade.

Hi all - Just an update on what we will be towing. We almost bought the Rove Lite but then found this gem that just met all of my wants on my wish list!
1 - North South bed!
2 - DRY bath!
3 - Fridge with separate freezer!
4- Lower price than the Rove Lite!

I like my role reversal, I bought the hybrid to flat tow behind my motorhome. The baseplate was installed at the Roadmaster factory and turned out very clean.

I like that, was also considering a Rove but looking for more options.

I would not run a marathon breathing through a coffee straw! Why fully max out a load and put all that strain and wear, tear, not to mention safety of others and yourself at risk??!!!

I agree with Phillipjon. If you are traveling in eastern US, 3600 pound should be your limit. In western US, 3200 pounds should be your limit (due to the changes in elevation and braking distance). The dry weight is listed at 2920 lbs. This allows for an extra 280 pounds for cargo, water and propane for traveling in the western US. This is not enough IMHO.

Anyone planning on getting the hybrid and planning on towing a small trailer with it? Please share what you intend to tow?

I don't have one yet but I see this Jayco 12SRK that looks like it might be doable as long as you don't load it down too much with gear.

that is nice and at 1,600 ish any maverick will pull, its a shame the $$$ on RV,s have gone nuts like cars.

Dry weight of the Sun Lite is 2880. Prolly less cuz no oven. GVWR is 4,000. Not planning on exceeding the max.

If you get in an accident you will have problems with your insurance company. If the TT's GVWR is over the max towing of your Maverick, your insurance company will decline the claim.

Great advice. Let's hope many take heed.

Rams awarded 5 compensatory picks in 2022 NFL draft (yahoo.com)

Not a Trailer but optioned correctly this could easily pull this unit with a tent option and gear in the pod for camping.
