I see all these posts about people wanting more towing capacity. However, rarely see a truck with a trailer other than a landscaper or a horse trailer and typically those will be Super Duty or whatever Chevy and Dodge sell.

So I’m wondering what the heck do people have that they want to tow with their Maverick?

I’m towing this behind my motorhome. The hybrid is towable four down.

I plan on towing the mid sized uhaul moving trailer when i pay off the truck enough and plan moving halfway across the country to start anew. I wanted that extra buffer as well even though the hybrid would do it most likely. On top of that since the bed is very short and small (not complaining) I will most likely get a trailer to tow trash to the dump as well weekly since we dont use garbage pickup service where I currently reside. All in all, i dont plan on towing anything more than 3k pounds most likely. But I like the 4k towing option. If or when needed i think 4k is more than enough for me. More than enough. And that taller differential ratio is very nice!

I have a 4500 pound travel trailer, but I pull that with my Expedition.
I wanted the hitch on my Maverick for attaching our bike rack.

On the other hand, I have a 6x10 aluminum enclosed trailer that gets used occasionally for furniture moves, etc. I am sure my XLT hybrid Maverick will handle that with no problem.

But bottom line, I'm not really buying the Maverick to have towing capacity.

Ducati and the Yamaha, nice taste
Thanks. My first bike was the Hot Lava Monster 620. Then I went into a blue Monster 1100. Started doing more track days and a lot less street riding so I traded that one in on the r6. It’s fun, but I wish I had that m1100 still to take on my trip to deals gap next week!

As of right now, nothing, but I wanted the 4k tow as an option down the road. My wife and I may plan on getting a small camping trailer at some point, but we'll see. I also liked the idea of the upgraded cooling and radiator.

Will be towing one of my 2 personal hovercrafts, about 750 lbs max. I have an identical green one like this. I just towed this red one 1150 miles with my Cmax hybrid with a 2.0 engine, no problems.

Two small jet skis, a small trailer with two ATVs and also a small 1800lb tear drop camper.

What is weird is the tow capacity of the US hybrid Rav4 is 1,750lbs but the European one is over 3,600lbs no mechanical changes whatsoever. Possible difference is due to J2807 towing standards in the US but not sure. My intended towing is all sub 2,000lbs so the hybrid will be good for that
