Some of the most important factors that prospective truck buyers consider are capability and performance, and the Ford Maverick towing capacity speaks to that desire for utility and power. With an eye-catching design, impressive fuel efficiency, and tech-savvy features, this compact truck couples style with execution.
While the 2024 Ford Maverick towing capacity may not be as robust as larger Ford pickup models, it offers unique features and capabilities that make it an attractive option for truck enthusiasts and first-time buyers alike. This guide dives deep into the Ford Maverick towing capacity, exploring its suitability for various needs. Whether you’re a city dweller looking for a hobby truck or an outdoor enthusiast with gear to haul, the Ford Maverick may be just the vehicle you’ve been waiting for.
The Ford Maverick is a versatile pickup with multiple towing capacity options to fit your needs. The 2024 model comes standard with a 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine.
In its standard front-wheel-drive and available all-wheel-drive configurations, this powertrain allows the 2024 Maverick to tow up to 2,000 pounds.1 Opting for the 4K Tow Package ā available with AWD configurations using the EcoBoost engine ā doubles the total towing capacity of the Ford Maverick to 4,000 pounds.1
The 2024 model also offers an available 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain with a base towing capacity of 2,000 pounds.1 Though not as powerful as AWD EcoBoost models equipped with the 4K Tow Package, the Ford Maverick hybrid towing capacity is equally matched with the gas engine’s capabilities otherwise ā meaning your hybrid is robust enough to tow small trailers, campers, equipment, and more.
We’ll start things off at the low end of the Ford Maverick towing capacity spectrum by looking at its available 2.5-liter hybrid engine. This eco-friendly powertrain also offers a respectable standard payload capacity of 1,500 pounds.2 Whether you’re loading up tools, supplies, gear, or recreational equipment, this engine is up to the task.
Under the hood, the 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain churns out 191 combined horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque. It achieves this with the help of an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT). The beauty of this setup is its focus on efficiency and smooth power delivery. Models equipped with the 2.5-liter hybrid engine come in a front-wheel drive configuration, making them well-suited for city commutes and light towing needs.
For those seeking more muscle and versatility in their Maverick, the standard 2.0-liter EcoBoost gas engine is a compelling choice. This engine is available with both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations, offering versatile performance. With an output of 250 horsepower and a robust 277 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine ensures a responsive and dynamic driving experience.
To unlock the truck’s maximum towing potential, you’ll want to opt for the 2.0-liter gas engine combined with the all-wheel drive configuration and 4K Tow Package, as we mentioned above.
Whether you opt for the hybrid or EcoBoost engine, the payload capacity remains consistent at 1,500 pounds2 on all but two configurations. Opting for the LARIAT or XLT trim with the Tremor package and all-wheel drive drops total payload capacity to 1,200 pounds.2
The Ford Maverick has three trim levels, each offering unique features and amenities. Both engine options are available for each trim level, allowing for various towing capabilities across the lineup. The trim models include:
The Ford Maverick XL is the base model, and its key features include:
The Ford Maverick XLT offers additional features and enhancements that add versatility. This model has standard 17-inch aluminum wheels and a Navy Pier/Medium Slate interior cloth seat coloring. Features like a bed cubby storage system and ten standard tie-downs help maximize hauling convenience.
The Ford Maverick LARIAT trim is perfect for anyone looking for premium cabin features and advanced technology. This trim model offers Desert Brown ActiveX-trimmed interior seating, a power-adjustable driver seat with power lumbar support, 18-inch aluminum wheels, and a 6.5-inch Instrument Cluster Screen.
All three Ford Maverick trim levels can tow up to 4,000 pounds when properly equipped with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost Engine, all-wheel drive, and 4K Tow Package. Otherwise, towing capacity remains at 2,000 pounds.1
