This Thing is Capable!!

Thanks for clicking on this click-bait!! (Sarcasm)
I have been very impressed with how capable my Maverick is. I’m working on a remodel for a home and we needed plywood (IDK WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN OSB AND PLYWOOD ). My partner and I met at our local Home Depot, he in a Tacoma and I with my Mav. We looked at his Tacoma and he mentioned having to lay them across and over the bed… I told him, why don’t we just use mine since my truck was designed for this, exact moment, in mind. So he agreed and pulled up loaded it with 20 sheets of plywood(OSB IDIOT) 4x8 at ~55lbs each. (YOUR MATH IS still WRONG)That’s about ~1,100 lbs plus a few 2x6x8s and 2x4x8s. I know what you’re thinking… the minimum sheets recommended by Ford is 18… well, it handle my 20 sheets just fine. (CAUSE I CANT COUNT) Funny thing, a few guys at the load zone were staring thinking I was nuts but I was confident with my Mav. Once they saw it loaded and the minimal squat, they were impressed.

Down here in lower Texas, there’s a Mexican truck that small and had a payload of 1600+ lbs. (STILL CANT COUNT ) that little thing is nuts. It’s the Ram 700 I believe. It’s pretty awesome as well. It’s unbelievable how far this little trucks have come.

Yes, that is a miter saw being used in the bead above the plywood. Why unload when it at the perfect height for cutting.
(WARNING: THE IMAGES BELOW ARE COMPUTER GENERATED AND COULD LEAD TO CONFUSION WHEN COUNTING AND WEIGHT THE PLY… I MEAN OSB… TO ACCURATELY CALCULATE THE WEIGHT. The OP is clearly and idiot and doesn’t know what he’s talking about!) oh, and Canadians are smarter than me!

Wow cool beans Mav is a lot better looking truck

I completely agree with you, a very capable truck.


Two weeks ago, I brought home 20 bags of seed at 56 lbs. per bag. Total payload 1,120 lbs.

I agree. Just got the thumbs up from the wife to add the 2.5 lift and bigger tires. I guess it only took going on a road trip from south Texas to Disney world Florida to get the go ahead. Lol (the Maverick road trip review coming soon. )

The best feeling in the world is knowing that our mini trucks are just as capable (payload) as a mid, and sometimes full size, trucks. Makes it worth the wait and value.

WOW impressive

In my opinion, and after actually doing it, the hybrids are equally capable at towing and hauling. Just no off road or 4x4 options at this time. Enjoy it! Use it to its potential! I do!

This OP is completely false. That is CLEARLY OSB!

Now that’s impressive. I believe over all these Mavericks are very capable. I ordered the EB and wanted the hybrid but didn’t want to mess with the order since my dealer was not very knowledgeable with order changes.

I might be missing the sarcasm but I don’t understand what you’re trying to say here. Lol

Ouch Texans corrected by Canadians…
I thought OSB was heavier than plywood.

OSB, isn't that Oriental Strand Board??

It’s because of the color mate
