Ford Maverick Towing Capacity

2026 Ford Maverick Towing Capacity

The 2026 Ford Maverick can tow up to 4,000 lbs when properly equipped with the available 4K Tow Package. Without that package, the standard towing capacity is 2,000 lbs. That makes the main question simple: do you need light-duty towing, or do you want the extra capability for a small camper, utility trailer, or pair of personal watercraft?

• Standard Towing
  • Up to 2,000 lbs without the 4K Tow Package.
  • Works well for small utility trailers, a lightweight cargo trailer, or smaller outdoor equipment.
  • Good fit if towing is occasional and you mainly want the Maverick for commuting, errands, and light hauling.
• 4K Tow Package
  • Raises maximum towing to 4,000 lbs when properly equipped.
  • Includes a 2-inch Class III trailer hitch receiver, 4-pin and 7-pin connectors, trailer brake controller, and upgraded cooling equipment.
  • Available on properly equipped XL, XLT, and Lariat models.
• Lobo™ and Tremor®
  • Lobo™ and Tremor® focus on street performance or off-road capability rather than maximum towing.
  • These specialty trims are rated at 2,000 lbs.
  • Choose them for their driving personality, not for the highest Maverick tow rating.

If towing is a priority, focus on XL, XLT, or Lariat with the 4K Tow Package. If you only need light-duty towing, the standard 2,000-lb rating may be enough.

2025 Ford Maverick Towing Capacity

The 2025 Maverick is an important year because hybrid AWD becomes available, and properly equipped hybrid AWD models can reach the same 4,000-lb maximum tow rating as properly equipped EcoBoost® AWD models. Standard towing remains 2,000 lbs without the 4K Tow Package.

• Hybrid FWD
  • Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs.
  • Best if fuel economy matters more than towing heavier trailers.
  • Good for small utility trailers, lightweight gear trailers, and occasional light towing.
• Hybrid AWD with 4K Tow Package
  • Maximum towing capacity is 4,000 lbs when properly equipped.
  • This is the major towing update for 2025 because you can pair hybrid efficiency with the higher tow rating.
  • Best if you want better MPG but still need more towing capability than the standard setup.
• 2.0L EcoBoost® AWD with 4K Tow Package
  • Maximum towing capacity is 4,000 lbs when properly equipped.
  • Choose this if stronger gas-engine response matters more than hybrid efficiency.
  • Useful for small campers, utility trailers, and weekend equipment.
• Lobo™ and Tremor®
  • Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs.
  • Lobo™ is the street-focused Maverick, while Tremor® is the off-road-focused Maverick.
  • Neither is the best match if your main goal is the highest available tow rating.

If you want the most balanced towing setup for 2025, compare a Hybrid AWD or EcoBoost® AWD model with the 4K Tow Package. If you want Lobo™ or Tremor®, plan around the lower 2,000-lb tow rating.

2024 Ford Maverick Towing Capacity

The 2024 Ford Maverick can tow up to 4,000 lbs, but only with the right configuration. For this model year, the higher rating requires the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine, all-wheel drive, and the 4K Tow Package. Most other configurations are rated at 2,000 lbs.

• Hybrid FWD
  • Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs.
  • Best if you care more about fuel economy than towing heavier trailers.
  • Good for light-duty towing and everyday driving.
• 2.0L EcoBoost® FWD
  • Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs.
  • Gives you more power than the hybrid, but not the highest tow rating.
  • Choose this if you want the EcoBoost® engine but do not need AWD or 4,000-lb towing.
• 2.0L EcoBoost® AWD with 4K Tow Package
  • Maximum towing capacity is 4,000 lbs when properly equipped.
  • This is the setup to look for if you want the highest 2024 Maverick tow rating.
  • The 4K Tow Package adds the hardware needed for heavier trailer loads.
• Tremor®
  • Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs.
  • Tremor® gives you off-road hardware, but it is not the max-tow Maverick configuration.
  • Choose Tremor® for rough-road confidence rather than trailer capacity.

If you are comparing 2024 Maverick models, do not assume every EcoBoost® model tows 4,000 lbs. You need the right AWD configuration and the 4K Tow Package.

2023 Ford Maverick Towing Capacity

The 2023 Ford Maverick follows the same basic towing setup as 2024. Standard towing is 2,000 lbs, while the available 4,000-lb maximum requires the 2.0L EcoBoost® engine, all-wheel drive, and the 4K Tow Package.

• Hybrid FWD
  • Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs.
  • Best if your priority is MPG and you only need light trailer capability.
  • Works for small utility trailers and lighter recreational equipment.
• 2.0L EcoBoost® FWD
  • Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs.
  • Provides stronger acceleration than the hybrid but does not unlock the 4,000-lb rating by itself.
  • Good fit if you want EcoBoost® power without towing heavier loads.
• 2.0L EcoBoost® AWD with 4K Tow Package
  • Maximum towing capacity is 4,000 lbs when properly equipped.
  • This is the 2023 Maverick configuration to target if towing is a regular part of your plans.
  • Useful for small campers, boats, and heavier utility trailers that stay within the rating.
• Tremor®
  • Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs.
  • Better suited for dirt roads, snow, and outdoor access routes than maximum towing.
  • Choose it for off-road capability, not for pulling the heaviest Maverick trailer loads.

The key takeaway for 2023 is that the 4K Tow Package matters. Without it, the Maverick remains a 2,000-lb tow vehicle.

2022 Ford Maverick Towing Capacity

The 2022 Ford Maverick launches with a simple towing structure. Standard towing is 2,000 lbs, while the maximum 4,000-lb rating requires the available 2.0L EcoBoost® engine, all-wheel drive, and the 4K Tow Package.

• Hybrid FWD
  • Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs.
  • Best if you want the strongest fuel economy and only need light-duty towing.
  • Works well for small trailers and basic weekend gear.
• 2.0L EcoBoost® FWD
  • Maximum towing capacity is 2,000 lbs.
  • Gives you stronger gas-engine performance but does not reach the 4,000-lb rating without the right AWD tow setup.
  • Useful if you want more power but do not need maximum towing.
• 2.0L EcoBoost® AWD with 4K Tow Package
  • Maximum towing capacity is 4,000 lbs when properly equipped.
  • This is the strongest towing setup for the launch-year Maverick.
  • Best if you want a compact truck that can handle heavier weekend towing within its rating.

The 2022 Maverick gives you a clear choice. Choose the hybrid for fuel savings, or choose the properly equipped EcoBoost® AWD model if towing matters more.

Which Maverick Towing Setup Should You Choose?

If you only tow occasionally, the standard 2,000-lb rating may be enough. That covers many small utility trailers, lightweight cargo trailers, and smaller outdoor gear setups. If you want to tow a small camper, boat, or heavier weekend trailer, look for a Maverick with the 4K Tow Package and confirm the exact configuration before you buy.

The 2025 and 2026 Maverick models are especially worth comparing because the hybrid AWD configuration can be paired with the 4K Tow Package. That gives you a stronger mix of fuel economy, all-weather traction, and towing capability than earlier hybrid models. For 2022 through 2024, the 4,000-lb rating is tied to the 2.0L EcoBoost® AWD setup with the 4K Tow Package.
