Original source: Torque News

A 2024 F-150 Lightning Lariat Extended Range owner completed an approximately 2,500-mile towing trip from Colorado to California and back, pulling a roughly 6,500-pound, 11-foot-tall camper. The trip averaged 0.8 miles per kWh, with about 34 hours of driving and 18 hours of charging, and a charging bill near $1,500. The owner noted that the trip was not cheaper or faster than gas, but the truck's daily driving advantages made it worthwhile.

Ford F-150: Towing 6,500-lb camper triggers limp mode in high-mileage EcoBoost engines

A Ford F-150 EcoBoost 2.7L V6 with 160,000 miles entered limp mode while towing a 6,500-lb Jayco camper. Three mechanics and a dealership found no fault after the P2099 code cleared when the ignition was cycled. The cause is condensation in the charge air cooler, which, during sudden acceleration on a grade, enters the combustion chambers, causing misfires and triggering a zero-boost limp mode.

Ford Maverick Hybrid AWD Towed a 3,014-Pound Camper, But the 355-Pound Tongue Weight Is the Real Story

A 2025 Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid AWD with the 4K Tow Package towed a single-axle camper weighing 3,014 pounds dry on 55-mph roads. After adding 450 pounds of cargo to the trailer and 200 pounds in the truck bed, the total combination approached the vehicle's limits. The tongue weight of 355 pounds, near the 400-pound maximum, raised concerns about using a weight-distributing hitch on the unibody Maverick. The owner opted for a sway bar kit instead.

Pilot Couple Starts Motorhome Rental Business After Poor Rental Experience

An American couple of airline pilots founded a motorhome rental company after a poor rental experience. They bought seven new Class C motorhomes and launched in February 2024, with the first week fully booked. The fleet has since grown to nine vehicles, and they purchased land for parking and maintenance. The couple plans to use the business as a retirement income source, as pilots must retire at 65.
