Well boys, I did a thing. Just a statement of fact, I also own a 2021 Nissan Titan 4x4.
I decided, after towing my Drift Willy’s Jeep from my house 2.5 hours to the track in Tucson, Az, with the Titan getting about 8 mpg, to go drifting for the day with my buddy, I didn’t want to then turn right around the very next morning hook up to my “lighter “ trailer and tow my 2020 RZR XP Turbo 4 seat to the sand dunes in Glamis, Ca. So I calculated up roughly, the total combined weight of the trailer, the RZR, and the extra fuel and other things I was going to carry in the bed of the Maverick, and I came up with about 3600lbs. My Maverick has the FX4 package and the 4K tow package. So I knew I would be under the 4k, but I will admit, I have been critical to others on this and other Maverick sites, about how some of these people legitimately think they bought a “real truck” when they purchased their Mavericks. I on the other hand know exactly what I was buying and exactly what it is truly safely/comfortably capable of. I figured since this drive to the dunes is pretty much flat, with only about maybe 600-800 ft of elevation change, I decided I would give it a try with the Maverick.
Now I know I wasn’t in a hurry, but typically I tend to drive on the quicker side, so I had to restrain myself to keep it at a reasonable pace. Well I’m happy to report that I made the trip without issues, averaged 9.5 mpg at an average speed of about 75-80 mph. I am very honest with my opinions in regards to my experiences I have, so ask any questions you may have about this trip.
