Packages always add value. That said its a trade off.. I pull less than 2000lbs(ive never even towed 1K maybe 400-600 tops) I never plan to tow more than 2K(im mid 50's and ive never towed more than 400-600 lbs..I have nothing new id tow, im not planning on getting anything new to tow.. a large kayak or Jon boat 12' or less is what id tow... even with trailer thats 400-600 lbs at best) So do I need a 4K package? No... would I have liked mine to have a hitch though and would I be happy with the 4K package? Sure...
Didn't you order yours, or did you just get it off the lot? The $100 order cost for just the hitch is untouchable in the aftermarket. You should have at least had the hitch put on by the factory. The additional costs for the 4k is debatable, I think in your situation. If you want the added safety features of CP-360 and the heavier duty cooling features, etc then maybe the package was the way to go for you. Either way, it's really personal preference for you. You don't actually need the 4K ability and you need not think of it as adding resale value that you'll never see anyway.
Its a 23 I got it used and have had it about 2.5-3 weeks now I didnt let the fact it didnt have a hitch stop a good deal I figured id just add it later. I think to get one on the Subaru i had it was like $250-300 so figured same for this.. I will ask around and see but no reason it should be more.
Waste of money until you take a 2000lb pop-up camper to Zion National Park or Mount Lemmon.... Or are a one car family and share the vehicle with your spouse who benefits from the safety features because like me, her driving skills are diminishing with age.
For the general population, yes it is. Few people would actually tow with this on a basis regular enough to warrant the costs. Plus, the car itself has all the required safety features (and then some) as compared to the '24, making the premium copilot nearly obsolete.
Absolutely add 4K tow package. Can't add it later.
Why would you pay $35k for an xlt maverick? That’s a stupid waste of money, in my mind. You should just save the extra $10k and get an xl. Better yet, buy a used maverick and save even more.
XL is much better yes! That being said, heated seats are a requirement for my climate, as is the better climate system. Honestly a waste of money compared to the XL but I needed those. That being said, old Mavericks have that awful infotainment system, hence why I wouldn't even consider buying one.
Everyone hit all the pros and cons here pretty thoughouly.
There is no mention of lower final drive ratio in the 4k towing package description for 2025 because all 2025 models get the same final drive ratio whether they have the 4k towing package or not. With that said, the 2025 base model drive ratio is lower than base the model 2024 models both in the hybrid and ecoboost.
30 years ago, yes, but not in 2025.
